FIGGERS

Howard A. Figg, selected by Atty. Gen.
Palmer as the latter's "chief of staff" to direct
the sweeping campaign to bring down the cost
of living which the attorney general assured
the country would be only a matter of few
months has summed up the results so far.
He appeared before the Senate sub-commit-
tee investigating shoe costs, and conveyed to
the committee the interesting information that
the department of justice campaign will reach
it's climax" within 30 days
Closely questioned as to what results had
been obtained in the past few months Figg
observed that the fair price committees in
Georgia and Missouri had accomplished ire
ductions"
Unfortunately, the department of labor,
which deals in real prices of real things like
roast beef, ham and eggs, chickens, milk, flour,
tea and coffee, has just completed it's report on
food prices for the month ending March Is. In
addition to showing that the average price of
the % articles of food most used in the average
family has gone up in all the principal cities Of
the United States, the Labor Department show
ed in contrast to Figg's statement, that Kansas
City is one of the three cities showing the high
est increase in average family expenditures for
food in the month following February Is.
Finally Senator Pomerene Of Ohio, pinned
Figg down by asking just how many profiteers
were in jail as the result of the Palmer policy
of reducing the cost of living by putting peo-
pie in jail
About twenty-five or thirty" replied Figg.
This is the net result from 1900 arrests made
for "profteering."
The department of Justice seems to deal in
Fggers. The department Of labor uses just
plain figures.

Prohibition Aids
Young NEEDLES

Chicago.-The day of the struggling
young physician who worked for years
on scanty income while he built up
paying practice is past, providing
national prohibition continues in force
according to Captain Hubert Howard,
prohibition enforcement officer for Illi-
nois.
Instead of sacrificing the best years
of his life to the struggle to make both
ends meet, the young medical graduate
will now step into an assured income,
ranging anywhere from 500 to $500 a
month. This is the roseate picture
painted by Captain Howard.
The present prohibition regulations
limit physicians to 100 government pre-
scription blanks for liquor per month.
Chicago doctors are charging all the
way from 81 to So for the blanks.

Austrian Cargoes
Looted by Robbers
Organized Bands of Robbers Open
Food Parcels to Starving
Austrians.

Vienna.-Looting of freight trains,
particularly of foodstuffs and wearing
apparel, goes on unchecked throughout
Austria. Unless conveyed. it is said,
a shipment stands little chance of
coming through intact. The robbers
seem well organized and armed and
often so numerous as to resist arrest.
Gift cargoes FROM other European
states seem the favorite plumber and,
according to report, much of the stolen
goods has been found for sale in the
open market.
A large consignment of this charac-
ter from Sweden arrived this week
and when the we'll arranged food par
cells, containing flour, fats and other
staples, were opened, il was found that
a portion Of the fat and -four had been
skillfully removed from each package
and sack of Austrian salt substituted
to make up the requisite weight.

Even if the silverware the burglar could carry
off were not worth $50!
The best thing to do is to pound on the floor
until the burglar departs in alarm The wife
may wish to help. Let her stand at the win
dow and cry "PoliceF'
But don't go down. Refuse to receive the
burglar. Make it clear that you are mot at
home to him.
This good advice will be disregarded if the
citizen has stock of liquor below stairs All
caution will be thrown aside The stock is
threatened? That's enough Without thought
Of danger he will leap for the stairs like she
bear in defense Of her cubs. Then, look out,
Burglar!

RECEIVING A BURGLAR

How should one receive burglar?
Books of etiquet provide no answer. One is
told how to receive dinner guest. But with
burglars the citizen is left to figure out suit
able procedure for himself.
One man heard a noise in his dining room,
He got out of bed juietly. Took his pistol.
Climbed to the roof. Closed the trop-door after
him. And there he remained in safety until
daylight
Dignified? Of course not But he might
have done worse. He might have gone down
stairs and got shot
Presumably, the mans wife wasn't home
For then he would have felt required to go
down stairs and try to put the burglar out.

NASH DEALERS
OUTWIT STRIKE
Nash Shipment Reaches
Pacific Coast in Spite
of Rail Tie-up.
TO PLEASE CUSTOMERS

A clipping from a Los Angeles,
Calf, paper, which indirectly rehects
credit on the Nash factory in Kenosha,
was received by James Kelly of 465
West street. The freight, express and
switchmen's strikes has hampered
shipments of all materials and it has
been practically impossible for auto
mobiles to be sent to different parts
of the country, so that the arrival
of trainload of Nash cars elected
considerable comment in Los Angeles
commercial circles.
The article follows:
Getting solid trainloads of auto
mobiles out of the big eastern fac
tories just at present is feat that
not many California distributors are
accomplishing. Between shortages
of freight cars and a factory produc-
ton, that in most cases is not up to
full stride, trainload shipments are
not common this winter. to say the
least.
Nash Cars Get Through.
"Henee, the arrival this week OF a
solid train Of 6s carloads of Nash
motor cars for the Troy Motor Sales
company aroused not little comment
in the local motor car world. Evel,y
one of the 260 automobiles in the
train went out for delivery to wait
ing customer, and the shipment
while decidedly appreciated by the
local Nash distributors, by no rleans
enables the hanging out of an "im-
mediate delivery" sign.
Garfield Is Hero.
H. J. Coger, Of the Troy Motor Sales
company gives credit to Chase Gar
field, sales manager OF the company,
for the feat of rounding up such a
collection of freight cars, filling them
with Nash cars, and starting them
west. Garfield recently returned from
a trip to the Nash factory in quest
of Fastening shipments, if possible,
and the trainload arrival was sub
stantial evidence that he was success
full. Because of the independence of
the Nash factory so far as the parts
makers are concerned, Nash produc-
ton has been up. to 100 per cent sche-
dule for months, said Mr.. Coger. The
chief difficulty has been to get suffi-
cient freight cars, and Garfeld's feat
in getting hold of IS all at once, was
something to be decidedly proud of
under present conditions

TELLS HOW HE GOT
 GAS IN CALIFORNIA

To him who hath shall be given and to him who hath not shall be taken away. George A. Alkire, writing from Los Angeles to the Phoenix chamber Of commerce under date of July 20, gives a gasoline interpretation of this pass age. He says:
 Two days it was acute and then if fellow used good rustling ability. like anything else and wanted it, and go get it, he could get by: but. say, fef- lows, it was funny to hear 'em
 grouse During the shortest time accumulated enough to keep the Frank lin agoing and the Dodge got full ana waited for a chance to use it. The filling station man was a big fellow (Mr. Alkire in point of weight, his friends say, is the biggest rancher in the Salt River valley) but he didn't have anything on me and every time the Franklin came he looked suspicious, gave me the once over but said nothing out of the way"
 MT AIkire reported on other things, especially climate and real estate He said traffic was blocked in Los An geles for ten minutes while a real estate man tried to sell him, property. And say" says the letter. the real estate bunk he poured into me was aplenty.'
 In commenting on beaches, MT. AL kire says: There are plenty of houses and apartments at the beaches; rents too high-gosh they do take it away from you if you let them-they are artists. Whatever you do keep that bunk out of Arizona"

RAILROAD EMPLOYES
 DISAPPOINTED OVER
 AWARD SAYS GOMPERS
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, July 22-Discussing the wage award of the railway labor board. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor. in a statement tonight declared that while the railway employees are dis appointed, s'it is indicated that they will not strike to enforce a fairer de- cision of their needs.'
 Mir Gompers said that the men affected by the award had a right to be disappointed at the first test of the wage making side of the Esch- Cummins act"
 He declared that "sop has been thrown each railway worker" and added that '.collectively they may feel themselves morally bound to ac- cept it"
 The labor leader announced his op- position to proposed increases in rail- way rates to care for the wage in- creases. Such action. or the levying of taxes to make up deficiencies. would be unnecessary, he declared, if rail- ways were operated more efficiently
 Much has been said in the press about the estimated aggregate wage increase granted to the railway men of the country by the railroad wage board" said Gompers. '"The figure. $500, 100000. is large and it sounds inn posing and awesome. Most of us have no adequate idea of what much money means or would look 1ike.'
