PACKERS ARE TO
BLAME FOR HIGH
PRICE OF SHOES
Federal Trade Commission
Characterizes Prices Charged
by All Parties Concerned
as Being "UnjustifiabIe."

Washington, Aug. 6.-The high
price of shoes was declared to be
due to excessive profits taken by
every factor in the shoe production
industry in a report by the federal
trade commission to congress made
public today. The packers were
charged with having begun the pyra-
miding of shoe prices by an unwar-
ranted increase in the price of hides.
the supply of which they were said
to control. On top of this, the tan
ners have taken Exceptional pro-
fits" while the shoe manufa cturers
have demanded an unusual mar
gin" and the retailers have charged
prices that are mot justifiable."
The commissions report covers
the four-year period from 1914 to
1918.
To show that the packers have
made unwarranted increases in the
price of packer" hides, the report
pointed out that the price differen-
tial between their hides and "coun-
try" hides-hides of lower grade
has increased "far beyond the usual
proportion, Charges of excessive
profits against the tanner and the
shoe manufacturer were said to be
supported by "the high rates of re-
turn on investments" in both indus
tries following the price increases.
"The public" said the report, had
to pay prices for shoes that not only
could not be justified because retail
shoe dealers took too much profit
but because the dealer had to pass
on to the consumer the excessive
profits received by butchers for
hides and also the excess profits OF
tanners and shoe manufacturers"
Proposes Relief Plan.
"Some relief from the intolerable
prices paid by consumers for shoes
may be had" the commission said,
"by:
"Q A rigid enforcement Of the
laws against monopolistic control OF
commodities.
"(2) Legislation forbidding pro-
ducers of hides engaging in the tan
ming business, and
"(3) The adoption Of a device in
the distribution of shoes that will
acquaint the consumer with the SELL
ing prices of the manufacturer"
While noting that because Of in
creases in the costs of materials
during the war period prices were
bound to advance considerably even

Couple Decides to
Start Life'Over Again;
Judge Revokes Divorce

"A man should consider his wife
a business partner and discuss his
financial affairs with her. Scores of
Omaha women have no idea whether
their husbands are worth $4,000 or
100000. The ability of a man and
his wife to part with some of their
rights and cast aside some of their
individuality is gauge of the happi-
ness of their married life"
This was the advice of Judge Day
to Amy and Fred Murphy, who ap-
peared in district court yesterday
and asked that their divorce decree
be set aside. Judge Day granted Mrs.
Murphy a divorce and the custody
of her four children last February.
At their request he revoked the de-
cree.
While Judge Day was lecturing on
married life the 9-month-old baby
boy whom Mr.. Murphy was holding
cooed with delight.
Il believe he knows what's going
on" smiled the Judge.
1t was happy occasion.

has prevented a whisper of the scan
dial from becoming public so far.
1t must be borne in mind, though,
that the British law technically for
bids gambling on races. The law is
more or less of dead letter. and
tickets on the derby sweepstakes
are bought by earls and coSter mon
gers alike. Hitherto the Calcutta
sweepstakes has been above suspi-
clon and almost a national institu
ton, which explains the extent of
the present scandal.

SALVATION ARMY
HAS BABY GIRL
FOR ADOPTION

Who will adopt a blue-eyed baby
girl?
This is the question which the Sal
walton Army is asking Pensacola peo-
pie.
Only two days old, the baby has a
right to the home which has been
denied her, care, and education and
all of the things which Inherently
belong to a girl. She is understood
to be of family who stand well in
the community.
The story of the infant and the way
it came to Salvation Army headduar-
tiers is tragic one. For Is hours the
newly born infant had been deserted
when Capt. r. f. Bergren. found her,
took her straight to headquarters and
to the kindly arms of Mrs. Bergren.
There she will remain until she is
legally adopted. Capt. and Mrs.
Bergren will keep the baby until some
responsible person who agrees to bring
her up to womanhood applies to adopt
her.
In the meantime there is a chance
for a childless woman to come to the
rescue with mother love.

Catarrh Is a condition of the blood

Catarrh should not be neglected or
