From The T,1bu,.e's Washington Bureau

From The T,1buNe's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April Is. - Shoes
could be sold at lower prices than in
1918, when the dealers agreed to
charge $12 pair as the maximum
price, T. M. Robertson, expert of the
Federal Trade Commission, to-day told
the subcommittee Of the Senate Com
mitteee on Manufactures that is inves-
tigating profteering in shoes and
leather goods.
Robertson told the committee that
that could be done to keep retail prices
down would be to abolish trade asso-
Citations. He considered them the
worst feature of the distributing or
ganizaton of the country, and said
their tendency always is to keep prices
up. as they are able to bring pressure
upon manufacturers and wholesalers.
Sell at so Per Cent Above Cost
Mr.. Robertson said the general rule
of shoe retailers is to add so per cent
to the cost of shoes, to make the SELL
ing price. In Washington the retailers
testified that their rule was to add
sixty-six and two-thirds per cent. The
witness testified that from three to
tive times as many people were en-
gagged in retailing, not only shoes, but
general retailing Of merchandise, as
were needed for the public service.
Senator McNary, Republican, of Ore
gon, chairman of the subcommittee
called attention to statements in the
Trade Commissions report showing
profits of some of the leather compa-
nies in excess of 10y per cent in 1918
He said they were unconscionable and
inexcusabe.
"Has the Trade Commission ever
called the attention of the Attorney
General, in his profiteering campaign
to these excessive profits, and suggest
ed prosecution? asked Senator Nc
Nary.
II don't know" replied Mr.. Robert
son. "My own idea is that where q
great concern has as by product ali
article that constitutes the chief raw
material of another large industry, that
concern should not be permitted to en-
gage in the business Of manufacturing
that by-product. For instance, hides
are by-product of the packing busi-
ness. do not think the packers should
be permitted to engage in manufacture
ing leather or its products, nor that the
Steel Corporation, dominating the man
ufacture of steel, should be allowed to
engage in turning out the fabricated
products Of steel. l think that rule
should be applied also to coal, gas
water power and generally, as we'll as

District government. as a man on

3. That every precinct be furnished
Some precincts have to divide the

them and officers have been left in
extremely dangerous situations when
the one patrol wagon is on call or
broken down and a call for reserves
is received.
4. That inspectors. captains. lieuten-
ants. detective sergeants and pre-
cinct detectives would have their
efficiency increased three fold if fur
nished with automobiles of suitable
kind and size for their respective
duties. One of our larger precincts
covers twelve square miles and in
cludes a population of 100000 peo-
pie. The duties of headquarters Of
ficials and detective sergeants re-
quire them to cover the entire Dis
trict of Columbia, comprising sixty
nine square miles.
Modern motor equipment would
double the value of every policeman
and give increased protection to our
city.
!. ). The system of compelling Off
GERS to buy their own motor vehicles,
used officially for police department
business. is obsolete. even though a
fixed sum is furnished them for
maintenance. This sum is never
sufficient to operate said motor Ve-
hicles but a comparatively few miles
d day. and compels the officer to use
his personal funds if he operates to
full efficiency.

titioRed to pass a law assigning to
the District of Columbia the above
necessary equipment of automobiles.

cycles and so forth from the sur

Army. which is reported to be de-
teriorating in the weather at Camp
Hola bird and other places.
Z. We suggest that traffic officers
should be especially picked and
trained men with a special rating
higher than class 3 private, and with
corresponding increase in remuner-
alton. We believe it is against pub
lie interest to pay traffic policemen
from funds furnished by street rail-
way corporations. We believe that
more policemen should be provided
for the District of Columbia. and
that all policemen should be under
the direction of the metropolitan po-
lice department, including the work
covered by the United States park
police.

Registration of Autos.
To check thieving we earnestly
, recommend that steps be taken to Sc
cure laws requiring registra tions of
all automobiles bought and Sold The
title to same should be recordedsafter
each sale and bill of sale should be
required to establish ownership.
No public paint shop should be per-

The granting OF permits to those

on - our streets Is largely nullided

Speed and Recklessness.
Believing that not speed but reck-
lessness on the part Of pedestrians
and also on the part of motorists as
we'll as motormen of street cars Is
the cause of most accidents. we
heartily 1ndorse the present speed
regulations as both sane and safe.
We believe recklessness should be
severely punished wherever found,
and that all regulations should be en-
forced without fear or favor.
High official connections should be
an added incentive to set a high ex-

CONVEYING OF
66TH CONGRESS
President-elect Harding De-
livers Address in Open
ing Of Senate.

WASHINGTON reconVenec
Monday with the customary brief and
routine opening sessions, which were
attended by great crowds, and marx
| ed by an address in the senate by
President elect Harding as unique
and historic feature. Senator Hard
ing took his seat, answered his name
when the senate roll was called and
made a brief address from the ros'
trum.
The features of the opening OF the
third and final session of the 18th
congress were receipt OF annual ap-
preparation estimates aggregating s4,-
SOB 600, 900 and Introduction III the

bills and resolutions.
The senate was in session twenty
five minutes and the house just twice

Adding a unique page TO the ma

OF the senate, and in a short address
bespoke for the coming four years
a spirit of teamwork between eXecu-
tive and legislative branches that h.
expects to insure the highest nation
al efficiency in public affairs at home
and abroad.
Mr.. Harding's address in the sen
ate was in response to an ovation
that greeted his appearance for the
opening roll call, and was delivered
at the suggestion of Senator Lodge

that for the first time in history

SEPARATE SKIRT FOR WINTER
Popularity Of Sweaters and
Short Fur Coats.

Sweaters and short fur coats both
make demand for separate skirts
Therefore, these skirts are likely to
be worn through the winter, both in
fancy plaid woolens and In the regu-
latlon navy blue serge. Wool jersey
IS another favorite material for the
separate skirt.
The vogue Of heavy weight material
for skirts is largely on account of the
shorter coats that promise to be used
this winter, and that call for more
protection than was glveh ~ the sat
ms and silk materials used for wear
under the long coat.
Apart from plaits, embroidery and
stitching are a few favored forms OF
trimming. Where the skirt Is made
up plain, band Of some kind Of en-
broidery is used around the bottom.
Gray wool embroidery on navy blue
serge is well thought Of and frequent
ly seen. Col0red cross stitching that
suggests broken plaid was used las,
season and Is still considered quite
good.

SLEEVE STYLES ARE VARIED
Numerous Types Of Arm Covering TOR
Late Fall Garments-Seven-
Egh.hs Length Favorite.

Sleeves are not the least important
part of the autumn mode. The long
sleeve has the most prominent place
and Is of variety of types.
Frocks made of soft materials pre-
fer to have their sleeves tight over the
arm even though they are kimono cut
and loose over the shoulder.
In the heavy materials the sleeves
are very often wide as well az long.
A great favorite with the mode Is
the seven-eighths sleeve. This sleeve
is frequently bell shaped and embroid-
cred or trimmed with fur at the lower
edge.
In many of the smartest evening
gowns, sleeves are conspicuous by their
absence In others, there are little
fiuted caps at the top of the arm.
Evening gowns for restaurant wear
choose long, loose lace sleeves. which
are often very deliberately trimmed
with metal embroidery.
