WOULD SLASH COST
OF MEMS CLOTHING

II
 Howard Figs, special assistant to the. United States attorney general has ask ed all fair price commissioners to start q campaign with the thought to make men buy sparingly of clothing and only as necessary, with a view to forcing manufacturers to realization that men will not pay unreasonably high prices for their clothing. The announcement from Mir. Figg is as follows:
 'The campaign for economy and sane buying conducted by the women's divis- ion through the four million American club women has succeeded in turning the trend of prices of womens wearing ap- parel in the direction of reasonable lev els. Manufacturers and dealers in wo- mems wear realize the power of control held by the women and the situation in womens wear is favorable.
 But in regard to the situation in men's wearing apparel conditions are not satisfactory. Manufacturers of mems wear are conducting a campaign of prop aganda seemingly designed to hold up high prices and even to further increase prices if possible. Apparently the so- called manufacturers guarantees against decline and the closing down of some factories are part and parcel of this well laid pan.
 "The department of justice had hoped that manufacturers and iobbers in mems wear would follow the lead of their as sociates in women's wear lines but since they have not. the department cannot rest idle. Therefore. United States at torneys and fair price commissioners should press vigorously their campaigns of sane economy among men. Men should be advised to buy only as absolutely re- cessary; to make their old clothes do to understand and spread the idea that the best interests of our country require economy.

We Have No R.dEers.

The curator of mammals of the Lem don Geological Society has discovered what he says is great hoax upon the Americans, who for more than 400 years have believed they had badgers on thesr continent
 An American badger brought here to make an instructive comparison" was put in a cage with some British badgers The British badgers slept all day, the American; badger all nisat. The curator investigated and decided the American animal is neither badger skunk, stoat nor weasel. He said it's skull and teeth are wrong for a badger. it lacks the scent gAnd, and it's resemblance to the badger is SO superficial. he considers ii of 9 totally different tribe"

TO BE LOSING MONEY The city Of New London is losing mon ey on the operation of the Groton ferry line. says the New London Globe and that fact has led the commi ssiorers and the representatives of the city who have to do with the running of the boats to consider means of reducing the expenses of the boat or increasing the traffic.

DOG WARDEN PROPOSES TO
 PICK UP ROAMING CANTNEr

Dog Warden Frank L. Futile is about to start an active campaign to round up tagless and roaming dogs of which he is convinced there are a large number in the town. He will appoint deputies in the different sections of the town and these will be instructed to gather in every dog that falls under the classif- cations named.
 When a dog falls into the dog war den's hands, he will impound the canine for 72 hours and after that, if the own CT has not reclaimed the animal and paid the s3 fee which it will cost to restore him to his home kennell Mir Dog will be disposed of by the warden in such way that he will roam nc more.
 No dog has a right to be on the streets without his tag. The place for the li- cense tag is on the dog and not h1ne the mantlepiece. It will be no excuse the dog warden says. for the owner tc plead that the dog has tag but is mol wearing it. Licensed dogs will cost their owners the s reclamation fee, if they
