 DOMESTIC SITUATION

EVANSVILLE, Ohio, May 31 (by Associated Press) Mrs. Louise Nit tendorf, matron in charge of the Ohio reformatory for women here, is doing her part in relieving the domestic help situation in the state. She had from 15 to 200 girls and women under her care As there is not enough work at the institution to keep them all busy, she sends to housewives some of the more trusted girls.
 Ninety per cent of the girls work ing out have made good, according to Mrs. Mittendorf. Many of them with in a short time have been recommend sd for parole or pardon. Housewives receiving the girls send the wages to the matron who turns the money over to the girls when they are dis charged.

TELLS Of BROKEN
ROMANCE IN SONG
Grant Clark, Author Of Sentl-
mental Ballads, Dedioates
Lyric to Former Wife.

NEW YORK. May ls.-The cool
philosophy with which Grant Clarke.
song writer, agreed to give up his
wife 10 Walker r. Inmsn, stepson or
James b. Duke. the tobacco million
aire. is told by Clarke himself. Hts
ex-wife was married TO Inman at
Poughkeepsie April IS. unknown TO
, the bridegroom's family.
Clarke says he has dedicated his
newest song, entitled Tired OF Me,
20 Mrs. Inman. One stanza runs:
"Tired OF me. tired of me,
Sorry is all you say;
Just like a top. children enjoy
Loved and then thrown away.
Somebody new looks good TO you.
Happy / hope you'll be.
love you still ! always viii,
Though you grew tired OF me-"
Clarke met Garnet Helen Patton, a
Kokomo, Ind. clergyman's daughter
five years ago in this city and mar
ried her a year later.
Tells OF Married Life.
Telling of their married life he
said:
1--WE came to New York. but our
biissful happiness was short-lived.
Picayune arguments grew into larger
ones, and then for the first time we
were separated. That was about
year after the wedding.
Then followed reunions and sepa-
rations so fast that l can't remember
them all.
at was over a year ago that Helen
met Inman. She was not living with
me at that time, so / do not recall
just how or where they were intro
duced, although ! think il was at a
party. ] think the attraction was
very strong from the beginning.
Later, on several occasions, / saw
them together in Broadway rastau-
rants, and on one of these occasions
/ was introduced to him. He seemed
TO be a nice. quiet sort of chap, and
appeared to be very much devoted
"T knew Helen would like to marry
him 1 knew, too. that we could
never be happy.
Starts Divorce Proceedings.
when Helen started her divorce
proceedings last June l did not begin
a contest, for / did not want to stand
decree was granted in September"
A Poughkeepsie wedding in April
was the outcome of Inman's court
ship. Mrs. James Il. Duke received
no notice in advance and was not
present at the ceremony.
The runaway marriage of Inman
and the former wife OF song
writer recalled to many the spectacu-
lar marriage of Sir Hugo Cunliffe-
owen and an obscure American girl.
also former wife of a song-writer.
Like Inman, Sir Hugo is also
leader in the tobacco world. He was
married in 1918 to the former wife Of
"Monte" Brice.
Not only did there two prominent
men in the tobacco world wed beauti-
full young brides whose first hus-
bands followed the same profession,
but both girls were staunch compan-
ions before their second alliances,
and, with their song-writer husbands,
formed an inseparable quartet.

The profteers are absorbing $2.2O
out of every $5 charged the purchaser
for a suit of overalls, including pants
and jumper, according to a survey OF
profiteering made public here today
by w. Jett Lauck, consulting econo-
mist of the railroad brotherhoods.
Producers Squeezing Public.
Lauck is not lighting the overalls
movement in behalf of labor. AS a
matter of fact, he is most enthusiastic
cally supporting any action that will
bring relief from the pinch of high
prices. But his study of profiteering
in all branches of American industry
has revealed that the oVeralls pro-
ducers are squeezing the consumer
Just as relentlessly as other traders.
In 1910 a blue denim jumper or
pants sold for IS cents. Today each
garment sells for $3.50. And. in
many localities where the overalls
movement has taken hold, retailers
have jumped the price some more.
The manufacturers are not putting
gold buttons on the modest blue
habilments OF the labor man!
Neither are the workers employed
in the mills and overalls factories
looking for parking space for their
limousines!
The familiar excuse that increases
in the laborer's wages are responsible
for the high prices is shown to be
extremely faint when the searchlight
of investigation is turned on the in
dustry.
The increase in labor cost in turn
ing out a pair of overalls amounts to
twenty-five cents. The increase in
price is $1.65, or six and one-half
The Washington times., 1920-05-18

times the advance in labor costs.
Even the increase in profits-eighty-
four cents-is more than three times
the labor increase, and nearly equal
to the retail price of the garment in
1910.
The total cost of a jumper or pants
is only 40, the mill, manufacturer
and retailer dividing between them
$1.10.
Where Increase Goes
In 1910 the purchaser paid those
who labored on his garment twenty
cents, or 23h per cent of the selling
price; whereas he allows to labor As
cents, or Is per cent of the price So.
the cost of labor to the consumer is
less proportionately at this time than
in 1910. On the other hand. the prof
its represented in 1910, 81 per cent of
the selling price, while today they
amount to A per cent.
AS in the case of mems clothes, the
largest proportion increases are
those in the margins of the manufac-
turers-the profits of the textile con.
Germs per yard being six and one
half times as large as in 1910.
The increase since 1910 in the cost
of each operation, as we'll as in prof
it's, is as follows: Materials from S.27
to S.72. or 167 per cent; mill labor
from sos to $40, or 100 per cent; mill
expense from SOC to S.07, or II per
cent; mill selling expense from s.02
to sos, or $50 per cent: mill profit
from S0l to SAC, or 557 per cent; la
Dor on garment from s.16 to $.35, or
1873 per cent; cost of trimmings from
sO4 to sos, or 100 per cent; manu-
facturers' profit from S.04 to S.14. or
$50 per cent; the wholesale price
from $40 to $500, or 1S0 per cent:
and the retailers profit from $.15 to
$50. or 233 per cent
