Miss Sara Ring, twenty five, Of 3
Doyers Street, riding uptown on a
Third Avenue elevated train last night
at rush hour, saw q seat. So did Mrs.
Dora Zeiderman, forty, of 317 East
Sevcnty-ffth Street. Miss Ring dived
for it, SO did Mrs. Zeiderman. Miss
Ring is of goodly proportions. SO is
Mrs. Zeiderman. The seat was small.

said to Mrs. Zeiderman We're too much
for either to bear complacently. At
Twenty eighth Street the fight began.
At Forty second it was still going full

interfere in dispute between ladies',
stood around and cheered.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--Decreasc

IN this country becoming dependent
on overseas food supplies, Herbert
Hoover declared to-day in letter to
Representative Riddick, Republican,
Montana. setting forth the former food
administrators views as "to practical
measures to insure better returns to
the farmer for his labor and invest
ment."
Deploring the absence of con-
structive policy of agricultural read
justment, Mr.. Hoover suggested the
creation Of commission composed Of
highly trained farmers and skilled
economists and financial experts to ad-
minister the causes and remedies of
the situation.
Asserting that present high prices
of commodities "sooncr or later"
would decrease, Mr.. Hoover said "this
defation must not begin on the
farmer Shortage in production out
side the United States, wild extrava-
gance and misuse of extended credits
for speculation and profiteering and

The burden of taxation is wrongly

pointing out that the excess profits

The whole marketing system in
many Of our commodities is indirect,

continued. "Our manufacturing indus

Prices of Milk
Will Not Come
Down This June
Cost Next Month Would Be
Years Lowest in Normal
Times; Conditions Are
Abnormal, Dairymen Say
Farmers Ask Fair Return
Revised Plan for League
Proposed by Board OH
Behalf of Distributors

No hope for a decrease in the price
Of milk for June, the month in which
the producers price usually reaches
its lowest figure, is entertained by Off
GERS of the Dairymen's League, ac-
cording to a statement issued last
night. The league has been notified
by tho New York Milk Conference
Board. representing the distributors
and manufacturers of milk, that nego
tiatons for the sale of the product
can no longer be conducted with the
executive committee Of the league un-
less the league accepts a revised plan,
proposed by the dealers.
"This proposed plan," reads the
statement, "was radical revision Of
one in operation from April 1, 1919, to
March 81, 1920, by which the pro-
ducer's price was based in the main
on the wholesale prices of butter and
cheese. At meeting yesterday the
farmers throughout the league terri
tory would not be satisfied with price
for June less than $3.50 a 100 pounds
for milk testing 3 per cent butter fat,
or at rate Of 6 cents quart This
is equivalent to price of 6.5 cents
quart for B6 per cent milk.
Farmers Condition Cited
"The league has recognized the fact
that the market for the last few months
has not been favorable for the sale
of milk, owing to the stopping of ex-
ports of milk products. Farmers, how
ever, have been content to bear
share of the loss, hoping for an i'm
provement in economic conditions, but
they are not willing to accept from
buyers of milk price that would drive
them out of business.

price for milk is lowest in June. But
times are far from normal now. Off

fifth Street, he had tipped off Kerri-
gan. Henry swore that during this con-
versation Hopler walked up and was
introduced to him by Smith.
The third bit Of alleged perjured tes-
tmony was the assertion by the in
spector that on March II, 1919, he was
visited at his Office by Joe Heyman,
who, he said. told him that he had once
run a gambling house for Smith in
105th Street, and that he was then con-
ducting poker game in a political
club. Henry testified Heyman. asked
him to meet Dennis J. Quinn, Smiths
brother-in law, that evening, which he
did
This meeting, Henry said, took place
at Seventy y-seventh Street and Broad
way, after which he and Quinn strolled
up Central Park West.
Henry Quoted Quinn
Henry quoted Quinn as saying that
he had been sent by Smith to discuss
the advisability of letting gambling
houses open up in the 4th District
Continuing to summarize Henry's ac-
count of the alleged remarks of Quinn,
tHe iHulCtIhent goes on 10 say:
"That Smith was in position to
guarantee there would be no raids by
the District Attorney over Henry's
head; that Smith was in close touch
with representative of the Rockefel-
Ter Institute who was not averse to
shutting his eyes to a few things, pro-
vldng a little change came his way;
that Henry's district was the best in
the city, and that then, if ever, was
the time to make little change; that
a few wheels and stiff poker games
never would be noticed in a district
like the 4th; that reporters could pub
lish only what they knew, and that
they could be seen by the right party.
and that Smith knew them all and
would take care of that end of the
game"

Nothing New
Under the
Sun

There is ample proof that the
women of antiquity knew the value
and practiced the art of retaining
youthful lines.
They were not unlike the woman
Of today, who stands out in every
assemblage as being just a bit in
advance of the mode. Well, she has
managed to put a suggestion of
youthful roundness into her figure,
not curves of restriction or stiff
ness. Oh. no. but the softly round
ed curves of the natural figure
around the waistline, trained by the
magic of the right corset, to en-
phasize feminine roundness.
And in walking hand-in-hand
with the mode. one has only to
make the corset the basis Of ones
career.
Regardless Of woman's position
in life, there are some things that
not even a daughter Of Eve will
stop to argue about. Her faith Is
pinned TO a comprehensive. ~knowl-
edge of her corset. -
We take for granted that you do
not neglect such commonplaces as
fresh, neat-fitting gloves or we'll
fitted shoes, and we say to you. II
you like Back-Lace C0rsets, wear
Madame Irene-the French corset
because they can do more to trans
form a wonan's appearance than
any other one thing which she
wears.
McCabe's consulting nygienist
and thoroughly experienced filters
will be glad To- assist yea in the
34election of fht correct corset for
