Kivelos Argues by Smash

Steve Pappas complained through

was an old Hellenic usage to en-
phasize the points of a debate by
the expensive method OF breaking
glasses on a table. His honor point
ed out that the breakage occurred
in this case after the goblet had
curved around Pappas' head. and

day were given until next Friday to
prepare the requested data.
The postponement was given, il
was explained. so that the shoe men
could call a meeting of their or
ganization to decide a fair margin
OF profit.

In the event this opinion does not
coincide with what the board be-
lieves to be a fair margin, the
board will establish a margin of
pront and prosecute all dealers who
do not live up to it, Howard f.
Ffgg, special assistant Attorney
General in charge of the campaign.
warned the dealers.
FIG explained that in several
olaLeS prOntS on Shoe sales are
based on a sliding scale which
would allow a dealer a profit of 40
per cent on shoes selling for SIG or
more; IS per cent on shoes retail
ing for $40 to SIC, and 80 per cent
on shoes selling at from IS to $40.
Eager to Follow Dictates.
Eagerness to conform to the die
tates OF the Department of Justice
was expressed by the dealers. They
welcomed any investigation, they
said, which would "dispeI the air
of suspicion" which had arisen, ac-
.cording to Figg. in the minds of
the people of the District towards
all merchants
The shoe men declared very little
dtnerence in prices existed between
the various Washington dealers.
Competition. they said. tends to
equalize the prices in different
stores.
Opposition was expressed by the
dealers to the establishment of a
Nat margin of profit.

in part:

Last year. which vastly exceeded
previous records in volume of new
life insurance. was the biggest year
in extravaganza and the people
seemed to go the limit in almost
