ATTORNEY GENERAL AND ASSO.
GATES TO ENLIST AID OF
HOUSEWIVES.
AN EPOCH OF REAL ECONOMY
Women viii Be Urged to ignore Buy
Now" Propaganda and Discourage
Frequent Changes in Styles and Ef-
feet Clothes Saving.

Washington. ID. C.-Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer and his official associates
in the fight on the high cost Of living
determined to enlist the aid Of the
women OF America.
BY appealing to the controllers of
household finances throughout the
country It is hoped to inaugurate an
epoch of real economy which will off
set the buy now" propaganda of
trades people. Furthermore, an at
tempt will be made to discourage the
frequent changes in styles dictated by
the makers Of women's apparel n
thereby effect a saving In clothes. An.
other important decision taken was TO
release more surplus supplies held by
the government If it can be done with
out embarrassment to the departments
involved. Secretaries Baker and Dan.
iels and Chairman John Barton Payne,
OF the shipping board, were invited
TO the conference for the first time
for that purpose. Mr.. Baker being
unable to attend. the attorney general
and Mr.. Daniels will confer with him
next week. Mr.. Daniels reported thai
ne had sugar enough to run the navy
six months, but before he released any
of it he wanted to be assured OF ample
requirements.
Consumers League to Aid.
Indicative of the broad scope which
Mr.. Palmer's efforts are taking was
the request OF Chairman Payne to re-
lease any surplus building material
which he has on hand, especially lum
Der needed for home building. The
shipping board, II was learned. prob
ably will need, however, all OF the
supplies which II has purchased.
Cooperation OF the housewives has
been the subject OF extended confer
ences between II. e. Figg, of the de-
partment Of justice, and Mrs. Edward
p. Costigan, who offered the govern
ment the full of the con
sumers' league and the league OF
women voters in the campaign to take
the imitation out of prices. AS a re-
suit, speakers will be put 500 in every
state to carry the message that one
way to beat the profiteers is to ignore
propaganda saying hat prices are GER
tain to 60 higher and wait for a de-
cline, which officials say Is inevitable.
Style Cost Comes High.
In undertaking to stimulate a patri.
otic refusal to DE stampeded into buy
ing new clothes simply because the
designers change the style from six
to eight times a year, the speakers,
It was said. will point out that from
8 to 80 per cent is charged for the
style itself, and that a proportionate
amount will be saved by reducing the
style changes to a reasonable number.
