A Special Sfdtemenf
To Merchants, Manufacturers and Bankers, This Sale

Volume is the keynote of American big business. The high standard of living and the low prices prevailing in the United States prior to the war were made possible by Vol ume-on the part of the producer of raw ma terials, the manufacturers of the finished product and the merchant-distributor to the consumer
 Today's production is not going at full capacity and the result is that prices are high, with little real prospect of their coming down until production reaches normal volume, high prices cause the curtailment of consumption which in turn means that the manufacturer cannot produce his normal output with the expectation of selling 1t at these high prices Thus the vicious circle is joined In the eff fort to make the first real break in its oppressive circle, Korricks, with full know ledge of all that it involves, have taken this step.
 Though today, manufacturer, merchant banker and economist are all frank in stating that their judgments as to the future prices are but guesses, Korricks offer their entire stock-their entire stock-at One-fifth off the regular prices The result of this offering, very frankly from our own viewpoint as mer- chants, we believe that the increased volume which will come as the result of this lowering of prices will enable us to justify the losses taken on our stock.
 We believe this is the proper time to begin to reconstruct business upon peace-time basis.
 Already some mills are not running to ca pacity because the public cannot use the total production at the high prices prevailing This condition will undoubtedly correct itself over & period of time, following economic laws If, however, the adjustment can be made quickly, it will be so much better for the con- su1ner, who needs the merchandise, and for labor who needs the work.

Reports from federal reserve agents show marked tendency of prices to resume their upward movement, the Fed eral Reserve Board reported tonight, but the board noted the hopeful sign. from the consumers viewpoint. of anxiety con- corning the overstrained situation result ing from excessively high prices and wages" which it believed forecast a slow ing down in the skyrocketing of prices.
 While high prices of necessaries ob- viously were chargeable to inefficiency and under production to a large degree, the board advanced the belief that the high costs of production were aggravated by the added expense of obtaining capital.

DESERT SANDSTONE
A SAHARA" THRILLER

It was evening on the sahara Leg
ert and Mignon was planning 10
make the supreme sacrtfice-to leave
her husband free to accept the love
Of one whom she thought he loved.
Then the wind came up carrying
with it a cloud of, singing sand that
obscured the setting sun. The tall
date palms swayed drunkenly, tents
were uprooted and adobe walls caved
in. The sandstone swept on It's way
for hours and the downing sun glar-
ed red on the smooth, windswept
sands.
The sandstorm is one of the dra-
matte as we'll as spectacular episodes

presents that magnetic star, Louise
Glaum, supported by Matt Moore at

the prolific G. Gardner Sullivan and
the picture, which is the most gor-
geous production of the year, was su-
pervised by Allan Dwan.
Miss Glaum portrays the role OF
Mignon in a way that stamps her as
one Of the greatest emotional stars
Of the day.

BRITISH BUY MANY
AUTOS IN AMERICA
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
London, April 15.-"These are
critical times" is the conclusion of
Ia writer for the London Times who
has been sent to America to investi-
gate as it's source the danger Of an
American motor-car invasion which
will hamper the development of the
British automobile industry.
AT the present moment the pub
lie, utterly disguised with the, en-
forced wait for cars it ordered from
British factories months ago, is ready
to buy anything which will convey
it about it's business. In many cases
British cars are preferred, but the
|disasterous delays which have so
nearly wrecked British trace have
had their effect, and patriotism as
we'll as personal inclination are be-
ing sacrificed. ~
To-day we will buy anything we
can get at once. And here lies the
ultimate test of both American and
British cars
It is the first. impression, gained
from cars bought in hurry, from
whatever nation is able to deliver
Immediately, which will determine
the future purchasing point Of the
automobile buyer of, Britain, the
Times writer concludes.
So he gives warning to the British
manufacturer:
There is no comparison between
the American car of 1915 and~those
of 1920. A certain number have de-
Perforated, but the great majority OF
/ the better known makes have i'm
proved beyond all recognition. they
are faster and more powerful on 1Als;
better designed; far more solidly con-
structed, more comfortable and enor-
mously better looking. I

resistible. AS it is, and with 'our
own prices monstrously swollen, they
may prove to be very real danger to
the British maker.
1.-THE class of american cars which
will shortly be coming to this coun-
try in large numbers is immeasure-
ably superior to any class that: has
been seen here before.
"A considerable number of these
cars have already arrived and are
being rapidly sold to motor-hulgry
public. They may be regarded as the
pioneers of the army of invasion.
Their appearance at this very critical
period of our industry is a serions
matter.
