BIG SLUMP IN LUXURY WAVE.

"A general reduction in retail
prices of foods and clothing is fore
cast for this autumn by Government
price experts. Economic conditions
now seem to indicate that war in
flation is subsiding.
Wholesale prices dropped an
average of slightly more than per
cent in the last 80 days, Labor Depart
paent reports showed last week, Meats,
fish and vegetables now are stored
IN quantities far greater than one
year ago.
Bumper crop of wheat and other
cereals are in prospect; in fact, are
partly harvested in the Southwest, and
farm labor is plentiful except in a
few sections.
LUXURY tax receipts are falling off

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Gross. is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
is an dnjury of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured a few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such a case person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not only to the in
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There is perhaps no way Of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
Gus disahIements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
cage would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The, dissemination of@First Aid train
ing and information has already pro
duced a fafreaching and beneficial III
huence in the prevention of accidents
OH railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of widespread know!-
edge of First Aid in the event of a
great disaster, such as a train wreck
an explosion, an earthquake, etcg is
obvious. LayrAen who have had First
Aid training can render Efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
III the formation and conduct, through

struction in accident prevention and

five STATES HOLDING
PRIMARIES TODAY
Wood Believed to Have An
Edge on Johnson in
New jersey.

NEW YORK. April 27-Eive
states today will jolt or jump the
hopes OF fiye Republican Presidential
candidates. Chief interest centers in

and johnson will lock horns for the
tirst time in any OF the important
Eastern States.
After all of the eleventh-hour ha-
ranging had been concluded and the
last-mfnute forecasts of the various
campaign managers had been fever
ishly pounded OFF the typewriters, the
result was expected to be something
like this:
In the New Jersey Primary-Gen-
eral Wood narrowly beating Senator
Johnsons in the preferential vote on
their respectiyes selves, with Wood
delegates predominating by a consid-
cradle margin in the list of % select
ed.
In the Ohio Primary-senator
Harding winning the preference vote
over General Wood, with Wood OBJ
tanning ia handful of the 4S delegates
elected and johnson running as sec
ond choice on both the Harding and
Wood states.
In the Massachusetts, Primary

idge winning over the two Wood can
didates and the one Hoover candidate
opposing the organization. Election
of from i've to ten,of the district dele
gates running as ,out-and-out Wood
men against the slate ticket. Thirty
i've delegates to be elected. A Cool
idge delegation marks his official en-
trance into the race.
In the Washington primary, Sen
ator Poindexter winning the delega-
ton of IA had his first bag of pledg-
ed support.
In the Idaho convention, Borah
controlling the eight delegates to be
selected, assuring their delivery to
johnson.
There appears to be only one
chance of upsetting the dope" and
that is in New Jersey. Johnson's man
ayers, on the eve of the vote, declar-
ed their absolute confidence that
johnson would carry the state by
5000 or g 1000. They base this con-
yiction on the heavy labor vote in
Jersey and the showing of their can
dfdate in recent primaries. On the
latter basis, Woods managers say
Wood will win.

Republicans Betrayed
Women, Mrs. Gait Says
Takes Issue With Harding on
What Party Has Done for
Suffrage Cause

Before leaving for Tennessee to urge
the adoption Of the suffrage amendment
by the Legislature of that state, Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait took issue yester-
day with Senator Harding on the ques-
tion of votes for women. Senator
Harding had pointed with, pride to the
record of the Republican party in that
regard. Mrs. Gait countered yesterday
with the assertion that the G. o. P. had
betrayed the women of the country
For the Republicans" she said, "to
bring the Federal suffrage amendment
within one state of ratification and
leave it there is nothing short of be-
traying the women of the country.
"It is mere lip music to chant that
of the thirty-fve ratifying states, twen-
ty-nine have Republican legislatures.
Women, the country over, are calling:
rs it by pre-arrangement that the Re-
publicans fall back on this so-called
good record?'
eff the Republicans halt the amend
ment at the point where it stands to-
day, they invalidate their appeal to the
women voters. If the Democrats lift the
amendment into complete ratification,
their claim on the women voters will be
immeasurably strengthened"
