EGG MARKET INQUIRY
TOBE STARTED AT ONCE
Present Profit of 10 Cents a Dozen
in D. c. Is Called Too Much
by Committee.

Profit of 10 cents or more on a
dozen eggs is believed by the fair
price commission to be too much,
according to E. d. Atkinson of the
committee. and an investigation of
the egg market in this city is to be
made at once.
Increased production reported by
farmers and poultrymen of nearby
Maryland and Virginia. according to
Mr.. Atkinson, has brought about re-
duction in wholesale prices paid for
eggs. So far. however, the reduction
in retail prices has not kept pace with
the drop in wholesale prices due to
increased activity on the part of the
hens.
According to reports to the commit
tee eggs retailed in the markets here
yesterday at from 20 to 80 cents a
dozen. according to grades Prices
received by farmers supplying the
local market. however. took drop
last week to so and 90 cents a dozen.
Mr.. Atkinson stated today that when
the wholesale price of eggs was
around 80 cents a dozen margin of
profit of 10 cents to retailers was not
considered excessive. but that now the
supplies are increasing and prices
paid to farmers have declined sharp

fleet this drop in prices to consum-

An Issue Of Fact
Now. the issue that arises here be-

fact; 1t is question for the jury of
the American people. Is the trouble

by conditions inside of the steel

case that one extreme view tries to

extreme view. Extremes invariably
breed extremes. Thus Judge Gary
and the steel employers magnify the
revolutionary elements among the

SUMMER BEAUTY HINT

Hair is by far the most conspic.
uous thing about us ard Is probaoiy
the most easily damaged by bad OF
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing, we viii
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dan6 ruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifling expense by
simply dissolving n teaspoonful of
canthroN (which you can get at
any druggist's), in n cup of hot
water. This makes a fun cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so 1t is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead
OF just the top of the head This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling
laiher. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean. soft and plant.
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness Of natural color also a
fluffness which makes II seem
n rch heavier than II is. After can
