Mr.. Fox declared, for the distrib-
utors, that under the present system
1t would be impossible to deliver the
milk to the grocers at lower prices,
chiefly because of the loss in bottles
and the wages to drivers
Under my plan for state regulated
monopoly, in which the price of milk
would be fixed by a directorate made
up of producers, consumers and dis
tributors," MIR. Fox said, at would be
possible to incorporate separate or
ganization to handle the delivery Of
milk to grocers. A material reduction
in the price to them could be made in
this way"
Mr. Fox was assured by Mr. Williams
that if the dealers reduced their price
to grocers the latter would cut down
their profit from one cent to one-half
cent on quart bottle

boken caught the wireless appeal for
help that was sent out Immediately by
the Northern Pacific and swift de-
stroyers and snubnosed tugs soon were
racing seward to the rescue.
Coast guards were summoned from
Long Beach and Oak Island and, with
the Fire Island force, soon had bat
terry of mortars at work trying to plump
line across the decks of the vessel,
whose position was indicated only by an
occasional rocket. Attempts ~cre made
to launch boats, but it was found to be
impossible, the surf rolling them back
upon the shore before the oars could
bite into the water.
Squalls of snow and sleet and rain
came hurting in out of the blackness
seward, and the wind caught up sand
from the beach and drove it into the
faces of the Coast Guardsmen. The
pop of their mortors was whisked away
by the wind almost before if could
reach their ears. Their lines fell short
at every shot.

Passengers to Stay on
Stranded Vessel Until
The Heather Moderates

Hourly wireless reports from the
stranded Northern Pacific were re
ceiyed throughout yesterday and last
night at the Office of Rear Admiral
Gleaves in Hoboken. The transmission
Of messages was simpltied by the fact
that, if she had chosen the spot, the
transport could hardly have gone
aground at point better suited for the
maintenance OF liaison with the shore.
Within mile of the point where the
ship lay broadside to the beach arc
the Fire Island Life Saving Station and
the Fire Island Radio Station-and,
from the moment the ship was strand
ed each stood ready at any moment
70 give assistance or 70 summon it.
In the office OF Admiral Glenves che
exact point where the vessel went
ashore was marked on Wap. and every
change in its subsequent position noted.
This record. at 6 o'clock in the even
ing, showed the transport lying 5000
yards due east of Fire Island Light
House, with about 900 yards interven-
ing between the stranded boat and the
shore.

During the War, the temp
tation to wink at an all-wooI
standard was more than
some folks could stand.
Personally, we felt that
Mary's lamb was not the pet
to hirt with!
Not once did we deviate
from our high standard.
Not once did we forego our
test for all-wool.
Nor our test for fast color.
OF course, there were
times when it was hard to
get our sort of stufs. You re-
member how government
orders crowded American
mills.
Coincidentally, however,
the British mills found them
selves adjusted to take care
of their foreign trade. They
were just as anxious to re-
tain their reputation for fine
woolens as we were to get
their cheviots and worsteds!
So, as an old and valued
customer, bales and bales of
their finest fabrics continued
to come along all during the
war. Resultantly, with what
we were able to get of the
best made in America, we
had little or nothing to worry
about.
Nor have we now!
Since the signing of the
Armistice we've been to
Europe and back, having
tucked some very satisfactory
arrangements up our sleeve
Can't give away trade
secrets but suffice to say
we re ready for the biggest
year in our history.
