FEBRUARY, 1920,
HAS 5 SUNDAYS

The world will experience a
fve-Sunday February this year
for the first time in 40 years,
and for the last time during the
coming 2S years. unless the CAL
endar in vogue at the present
time should be changed.
If 1900 had been leap year
the five-Sunday February would
have happened in 1908. but the
one day that dropped out then
put the five-Sunday February of

Since 1900 there was a five
Sunday February in 1924, in
1852. in 1880. in 1920. and the
next one will be in 194S. In other
words. il the old world didn't
slip a cog three centesimal years
out of every four there would be
five Sundays in February every
2S years.

WOMENDECLARE
CLOTHES BOYCOTT
Housekeepers' Alliance Bans
High-Priced Apparel for Year.
Listens to Figg.

A boycott for one year on high
priced clothes was decided upon this
morning by the Housekeepers' Alli-
ance as the only way of reducing the
cost of wearing apparel, and the 200
members meeting at the Lafayette
Hotel pledged themselves to buy
nothing for twelve months.
The action was taken at the sug-
gestion of Mrs. John d. Patent, who
declared. I'VE women must band to-
gether. Stop buying. and help the
profiteers save their own souls. I
move that the women Of America or
ganize and form affiliations with all
existing women's societies to bring
down the high cost of living. We
women got prohibition. we will get
suffrage, and we will elect the next
President. and l don't see why we
can't reduce the high cost of Lying"
Howard Figg, special assistant to
Attorney General Palmer, in charge
OF the II. c nt L. campaign, follow
ed in an address in which he explain
ed to the women of the Housekeepers'
Alliance why the II. c. of L. had not
been reduced.
"I believe that the women, and the
women alone. can bring down high
prices, and heartily indorse the ac-
he said in opening.
"Snce my tenure of office the De-
partment of Justice in it's campaign
to bring down costs has arrested 500
merchants. Fourteen thousand ar
rests were made for violation OF the
Lever control act, and $50 indictments
made"
This brought applause. One woman
asked, "Mr. Figg, cant we help you
in those arrcsts?T
Figg blamed the H. c. of L. on labor
unrest and "the orgy of extravaganza"
sweeping the country. The plea of
the working man for shorter hours
was condemned.
you cannot expect reduced costs
when the producers stop working"
The increased wages OF clerks and
iaborers have added to the upward
trend OF prices. Why, merchant
told me the other day that his old
charge customers would not pay the
high prices, but that 1t was the class
OF workers with high wages who were
buying the eStravagant clothing"
Figg made plea to the House
keepers Alliance to educate the
women to buy properly.
Mrs. Rose Gouverneur Hoes, proai-
dent, stated that she wished to correct
the erroneous impression that the so
ciety favored an cight-hour day for
servants. She said that is not the
opinion OF the society
