The chemists and technical experts who

COST PENDULUM
SWINGING BACK
Further Declines Due, Says
Chicago Distributor.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The food price
pendulum has started the return swing
and before the resting point is reached
further living cost declines will be meas
ured, food dealers here declared today.
Prices will reach still lower levels. ="
Sol Westerfield, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of retail food dis
tributors here. declared today.
Possibly there will be exceptions, but
foodstuffs in general will 60 down" he
said. predicting the downward tendency
would be felt in grain, leather goods
and clothing materials.
Green corn, carrots, beets and other
fresh vegetables are from % per cent to
80 per cent below the peak price. he said.
''This should be reflected in grains.
Calf skins which were 95 cents a pound
now sell at 30 and II cents, and TINS
should influence leather products.
Meat prices have not been lowered
but they should soon feel the lower
grain prices prevailing.
Reported closing down of clothing
factories and other industries should
affect prices considerably within a short
time"
The downward way of the food pendu-
lum was forced by curtailment of credit
by the federal reserve board; seasonal
conditions making the supply greater
than the demand and propaganda con-
Quoted against high costs, Westerfeld
said
However. 1t remains to be seen
whether lower prices are to act as
benefit as a whole" Westerfeld warned,
pointing out lower prices necessarily
make less production and thus less en-
ployment.
This has not been felt, at least only
to minor degree, but the influx of
workers and n tendency to glut the en-
rloyment market because of closing fac
tories is not a healthy condition

The teachers themselves have asked

VETERAN ACTOR
SEEKS FRIEND
Former indianapolis Man Re-
wives Memories by Visit.

William l.. Richmond, veteran actor,
who made his stage debut forty years
ago at the old Academy of Music in this
city as a "call boy" with F. G. White,
well remembered by older citizens of In
dianapolis, is a guest at the Hotel Sew
erin.
He comes to live over again some Of
his former theatrical triumphs.
Mr. Richmond has been trying to locate
the old home home of F. G. White who,
back in the seventies and early eighties,
ranked with the late Joe Jefferson as
a character actor.
As student under Mr.. White, Rich
mond attained enviable success in the old
plays of RIP Van Wrinkle" Josh Whit
comb" and as, Col. Mulberry Sellers in
Mark Twain's dramatized story, THE
Gilded Age"
The F. G. White home formerly stood
on old Huron street, now Lexington ave
nue., near Virginia avenue, as Mr.. Rich
mon recalls it.
The veteran theatrical man is here from
his ranch near Stevenson, Wash, after
many years absence.
He is spending the summer at his old
home at Charlottesville, and expects to
go east with view to interesting the
atrical promoters in a revival of rip
Van Wrinkle" and Josh Whitcomb."
Mr.. Richmond was with the veteran
actor White when he was stricken with
apopiexy at Decatur, Mich, back in the
eighties, while White was playing the
Col. Sellers in Mark Twain's noted
story.
Richmond believes the time is ripe for
a revival of the old time comedy dramas
which made the fame of Joseph Jefferson
and John T. Raymond.
"Ive been looking the old town over"
said Mr. Richmond, "and can find few
Of the old landmarks.

bring Improvements as fast as the last
forty years have brought them
