Down the High
Prices.
BY United Press.

New York. Dec. 30.-Careful mar
keting, close study Of the market and
strongly united neighborhood clubs to
study markets, will help reduce the
cost of living and eliminate waste, in
the opinion of Mrs. Julian Heath, pres
ident of the Housewives League Of
America.
Commenting today on high prices Of
food and the effect on the country,
Mrs. Heath said she did not believe
food prices in the main. were the re-
suit of profiteering and manipulation.
She expressed the belief that cost Of
production had increased to such an
extent that food prices have had a
natural rise and held slight hope for
early reduction.
II have always held that community
clubs to control markets could handle
food price situations much as they
pleased she declared. And ] am
more strongly than ever in favor of
them to meet present conditions. Food
conservation is vitality necessary If
prices are to come down and neigh
borhoods should organize for his pur-
pose"

wives league, headed a movement two
years ago that %boycotted certain foods
n forced prices down. She said no
boycott was contemplated at the pres
ent time because she did not believe

The battle with Lieutenant Roosevelt,

Donhauser said he realized soon after
the fight began that his opponent was
not as experienced as some Americans

Roosevelt put up a plucky fight to the
end. Three or four times, Donhauser
declared, Roosevelt had the upper hand
