DINNER GIVEN BY THE 'BALD|ES' ID ROTARY
 CLUB IS FINE AFFAIR

Although the "Hairies' waited a long time for the dinner they won from the s.Ba1dies" in an attendance con test in the Rotary club. it was well worth the waiting when it arrived. The great occasion was last night. and the Country cub was the scene of the affair.
 Rain, coming down almost in tor rents, did not have any effect on the attendance, one of the largest meet ings in the history of the Phoenix Ro- tary club being credited. It was all most 100 per cent attendance a mark to which the club has been aiming for some time.
 The affair started with the dinner at 7.30 o'clock. Not any ordinary din- ner, by any means. It was an elabor- ate affair, one long to be remembered and testified to the taste and gener- csity of the sBaldies.'
 After loosening up their vocal cords with several Rotary songs at the con- clusion of the dinner, the Rotarians were entertained with numerous stunts arranged by the ''Baldies.' The af- fair was presided over by Dick San ders, who was captain of the '.Bal-

GIVE SUMMARY IF
 NOTE ID CHILE ON
 BOLIVIAN QUESTION

WASHINGTON March 26-An of ficial summary of the American note to Chile regarding the recent anti Peruvian disturbances of Bolivia and of the reply of the Chilean government was made public today by the state department.
 The American note, which asked Chile to do Everything in it's power to avoid the breaking out of hostilities on the west coast of South America, evoked some adverse comment in Chilean newspapers, the Mercurio de- claring that it gave evidence of sus- picion that Chile had fostered the diff ferences between Bolivia and Peru.
 The American chamber of commerce at Valparaiso laso criticised the action of the American government and in a message to Joseph H. Shea, the Amer ican ambassador, said the note as pulp lished in the Chilean newspapers was grossly erroneous, uncalled for and principles of the American govern ment.v
 The state department summarized the American note and the Chilean re- ply in the following statement:
 "On March IT the American ambas- sador in Chile was instructed by the department of state to inform the Chi lean minister for foreign affairs that the government of the United States had informed the Bolivian government that it viewed with the greatest ap- prehension the attack by mob on the Peruvian legation and consulate, and on the houses and stores Of Peruvians

i in La Paz. The Bolivian government was also informed that in the opinion of the department of state any agita- ton tending to endanger peace on the American continent would be calam- ity which would place the gravest re- sponsibility upon those who coun- tenanced it.
 "The ambassador was further in- structed to inform the Chilean min ister for foreign affairs that this de- partment would deplore mobilization in Chile, and that a similar representa- tion had been made to the governments of Peru and Bolivia regarding mobili- zation in those countries"
 In conclusion the ambassador was directed to state that the government of the United States viewed the situa- tion with the gravest apprehension. and counted upon the government of Chile to do everything in it's power to avoid the breaking out of hostilities on the west coast of South America and to tiOn for the question interesting Chile, Peru and Bolivia could be other than force, which would not be countenanced by the civilized world.
 "On March g the American ambas- sador in Chile cabled the department that he had received a note from the Chilean foreign office expressing thanks for the information the ambas- sador had given concerning American representations made to the Bolivian government, and deploring the disturb ances at La Paz. The note declared in part that Chile's conduct in the past. and it's sincere desire for peace, will counsel it to look with misgivings on any attempt to disturb international order. After stating that the Chilean government, when duly informed of the events occurring in La Paz, could not attribute to them greater conse- quences than to simple agitation of popular elements, the note concluded with the statement the government and people of Chile are absolutely tranquil and have not thought for moment Of the extreme measure of mobilization"

Trace Causes of High Prices
 Back to Replacement Men

Style values, however, enhance the cost of mems suits, and during the past few years there have been some marked changes which have had a bearing on factory cost. This element is shown in the more rapid advance of the higher grade suits
 Shoes Had a Rapid Rise
 Shoes cost the dealers in Arizona 209 per cent more this year than in 1916, the greatest rise occurring in 1913. For fall delivery this year there is an- other marked increase. Canvas shoes, in which very little leather is used, show practically the same increase as all-leather shoes. Upon the startling showing in advanced prices of shoes for 1920 delivery, Mir. Smalley asked John H. Sherburne, chairman of the special commission of Massachusetts, to make an investigation of shoe fac tories furnihing Arizona dealer, MT Sherburne replying as fellows:
 Upon. an investigation of the shoe manufacturers listed in your telegram, taking a popular medium grade shoe as a basis, there is shown an average in crease of 55 per cent in mems and 42 per cent in womens spring prices for 1920 as compared with spring prices for 1919. The range of increase in the style of mems shoes selected is from 49 to 50 per cent, and in the women's styles selected, from Il to 51 L. advance are the increased cost of ma terials and wages of labor. The Regal Shoe company list their increases in detail, as follows: Increase in upper leather, 11S per cent; sole leather. 5O per cent; labor, per cent; miscel- laneous expense, per cent; average increase in shoe prices, 51 per cept
 ''f the retail dealers bought in small lots through a jobber handling these makes, there would be a greater in crease than that shown apove, espe- cially on replacement orders at the present time.
 By comparing the hide ana leather prices in the summer of 1918, when they were under government control, upon which shoe deliveries for the spring of 1919 were based, and those of this last summer when the hide and leather prices increased from 50 per cent to 260 per cent over prices in effect at the time of government control upon which deliveries for the spring of 1920 are based, there is apDI parently quite a considerable increase, on the better grades of hides and leather. It appears that the more expensive shoes in all styles are being made in greater quantities than here tofore. The manufacturers claim they are simply taking care of the JobberS' and retailers requirements, who, in turn, '.pass the buck to the consum- CTS demand for the better grade shoes and necessity of stocking up with these grades in order to hold their trade. We are at the present time investigat- ing some of the practices in. connec- ton with the shoe manufacturing in dustry.'
 According to Smalley the Arizona hide market has been falling for the past six months, which is general, and indicates lower prices for shoes later on, if leather is responible for the in crease as shown by the Regal com pany's statement Mr. Smailey IS very much interested, however, in knowing why canvas shoes have shown a pro- pOrtiOnate rise

 Clarence Boynton, as a 'traveler just hack from Europe" told the members Of the club who '. ere in Paris during the war of some of their friends he met while there, and read embarras sing messages purporting to have been sent them by certain Partisan young women.
 The French band was the fea ture of the evening. It was both playing and singing band, and the songs had to do with certain members of the Ro- tary club. After singing some more Rotary songs, the fun of the evening was concluded It was voted a most enjoyable affair and one greatly to the credit of the ''Baldies.'

dies in the attendance contest.
 In roll call of those present, each Rotarian was asked to tell why he ac- counted for the presence of much hair on his head or why he was provided with little. Many strange reasons were given
 Russell Freeman, captain of the .'Hairies," called the attention of the Rotarians to very serious occur renee A recent issue of the Literary Digest, it was shown. had apparently used, without the consent of anyone, picture of Dick Sanders on its front cover Russell Freeman reminded the Rotarians of the extreme liberty which seemed to have been taken and stated he had written to the publishers in very grave vein, asking them why such liberty was taken and demanding that extreme care be taken that such err TOT should not again occur. He also read a letter which he said had been received in reply. In brief, the let ter told Mr. Freeman that both MT. Sanders and the Rotary club should be greatly nattered instead of injured at the occurrence. The particular Liter ary Digest with the front cover dis playing what seemed to be the picture of Mir Sanders was passed around among the Rotarfans.
 A one e-act playlet in pantomime was presented, entitled Recent Occur rences in Mexico" It was announced that those who attended the recent chamber of commerce trade excursion to Yuma would fully understand the pantomime. Many others seemed to understand, too.

WILL TEACH SCHOOL
 CHILDREN IF STATE
 VALUE IF BIRD LIFE

Under the direction of State Game Warden Joe V- Prochaska, a campaign of education as to bird life will be conducted in all the Arizona schools on Bird day. April eth.. the principal object of which will be the conserva- ton of bird life in Arizona.
 Speaking of the need of educating the children along this line, the game warden said yesterday that in the United States alone, the annual loss from weeds had been estimated at $400, 900. and that in the face of such startling figures. it was well to realize the importance of protecting the useful seed-eating birds. one of Natures best means of checking just such losses.
 In proof of his statement. MT. Pro- chaska said that in the stomach of two doves was found 6400 and 7500 seeds of different weeds, and he a>ked if two doves at one meal could destroy weeds could be destroyed by the birds on one farm, in one county, or through out the state of Arizona.
 Among the weeds commonly de- stroyed by birds, said MT. Prochaska. are tarweed, turkey mullein, alfilaria. pigweed. knotweed, thistle and chick weed. The stomach of one sparrow contained 1000 seeds of pigweed, while two other birds had taken 300 and 700 seeds of various kinds. It has been estimated by the department of agri- culture that the tree sparrows of Iowa will destroy annually S75 tons of weed seeds.
 The great need of educating the teen- age boys in this subject has caused the state game officer to start safety first campaign for the feathered friends of the Arizona farmer. there being 365 different varieties of bird life in Maricopa county alone, said MT. Prochaska

PAGE EIGHT

A very interesting report, showing the rise in prices, for mems clothing and shoes during the last four years has been completed by George H. Smalley, fair price commissioner for Arizona, and forwarded to the attor- oey general.
 This information is part of a report showing the cost and selling prices of Arizona dealers, the gross margins, the selling cost and the net margins. Dealers invoices in a great many stores, together with ledger accounts showing actual selling prices, were examined, and overhead cost was veri- fled by the examination of total sales and total expenses.
 The most startling revelation is the marked advance in factory prices of mems suits for 1920. Nine different grades of mems suits were taken from invoices of as many different factories, covering a period of four years The Arizona dealers have been paying fac tories marked advances each year since 1916, as follows:
 1917 over 1916, 09.7 per cent.
 1918 over 1918, 29.S per cent.
 1919 over 1918, 16.9 per cent.
 1920 over 1919, 54.S per cent.
 The above percentages are based on the average advance during that period of the nine grades of suits. and shows an increase of 15S per cent, since 1916. Most dealers were found to be buying light for fall delivery, fearing a break in prices, and others take the view that there will be further advance before the peak is reached.
 Report Exhaustive
 MT. Smalley's report is exhaustive, and goes into the economies of mer- chandising in Arizona He made par ticu1ar inquiry into the phase of mer- chandising under rising factory costs which allows unwarranted profits through marking up the selling prices of old stock to the replacement values; also the maintaining of the same gross margin by a dealer regardless of the cost to him of the article.
 Many retailers throughout the coun- try are charged with having made for tunes through taking full replacement values, but MT. Smalley's report shows that most Arizona dealers are selling at cost plus a justified gross margin. Here and there where high margins revealed the taking of replacement values, the practice was discoura ged by the investigators. The complete cooperation of all dealers was accorded the fair price commissioned and his assistants.
 The following shows the rise in fac tory costs of nine grades of mems suits since 1916:
