STANDARD CLOTHES AT CHEAPER RATES Is Aim Of Uncle Sam in War on
 Costly Garments CALL CLOTHING CONFERENCE
Meeting to Be Held in Washington Next Month to Take Action Against Rising Price of Wearing Apparel Recommend Lower Priced Goods.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Steps 10 check the rising price of clothing will be discussed at a conference here early in January of persons interested in the production of wearing apparel, from the producer of raw materials to tho consumer of the finished product.
 Would Check Extravagance.
 The calling of the conference was announced today by Assistant Attorney General Figg, who said that in addl- tion to affecting economics in opera tion it was planned to provide for the production of standard quality cloth and garments for sale at a reasonable price, as an inducement to the public to check extravaganza in purchasing.
 Suggestions for the conference came from producers of wearing apparel and a committee of 1 [ is being chosen, the personnel of which will be an nounced after the Christmas holidays. The amalgamated clothing unions will be represented in the conference.
 Advises Standard Goods.
 Mr. Figg said it was generally agreed among producers that one es- sential for reducing the cost of cloth ing was to have manufacturers devote their plants to necessities meaning the type of clothing purchasable by the average man. Some clothing manu- lecturers were said to believe that mems suits now selling for S55 retail could be sold at a profit for $25 if an arrangement could be worked out be- tween mills, manufacturers and retail CTS whereby 8 certain percentage of business could be devoted to goods of standard quality to be turned out in quantity. B.. F<...
 There is no intention to design q uniform for the public" MT. FEE stated and the standard goods under consideration would be standard Tn quality, rather than in pattern.
 Tho department of justice also is taking other steps to turn Ghe attention of the public to the lower priced goods neglected in the reaction from war prosperity. Mr. Figg has suggest ed to the national retail drygoods as- sociation that economy departments be established by the association s members which would call the atten- ton of customers to the fact that goods of excellent quality but medium in price still are to be had Opposes Economy Sales.
 1 MT. Figg has disapproved the ac- ton of some merchants, however, who were said to have taken advantage oi the suggestion and inaugurated "econ- omy sales.' The government does not desire to stampede the public into pur- chasi1eg goods not needed, simply be. l cause they are advertised as bar ! gains,'' Mir. Figg said
 With the coal strike over officials expect to give renewed attention te 1 the cost of living. A call was sent ou1 l today from Attorney General Palm err:

one per cent of Framingham's popu-
lation was suffering from active tu-
berculosis, percentage indicating
more than a million active cases in
the country as whole. 1t also re-
ported comparative statistics show
ing decline in the towns tuberculo-
sis death rate of more than a third

tee urged the continuance of the DEM
onstration for period of at least
five years in order that it might
furnish for the first time definitely
established working program for the
practical control of tuberculosis"
The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its affiliated organizations
are conducting an intensive educa-
tional and preventive campaign which
will extend through 1920. More than
650,000,000 Red Cross seals will be
offered for sale beginning the first
