RECKLESS BUYING
 NEARING AN END
Federal Reserve Bank Officials Report Indicates That Peak of High Prices Has Been Reached-Commend
 the Wholesalers.

Washington, April 1.-Nation wide reports from Federal Reserve Bank officials, made public last night dis close their opinion that the post war era of extravaganza and reckless buying" by the public is nearing it's end.
 "A hesitation, if not an actual re- cession' of prices is noted and the Federal Reserve Boards statement summarizes its advances as indicating generally more hopeful view of the country's business condition than for several months.
 While the price changes were shown by the board not to be univer- sal, they were nevertheless regarded as positive and of importance as a basis for reckoning what the immed- fate future holds
 Believed Peak Reached
 Relief from the high prices for the consumer will not be completely ob- tained until present stocks are absorb ed in practically all lines. according to the boards view. Manufacturers everywhere, however, were shown to hold the view that the peak of high prices has been reached and to ex- pect gradual recession.
 In the clothing trade. particularly, the board said there was a marked tendency of the public to make old supplies last longer and to refuse to pay exorbitant prices. This phase can mean only that an awakening has come, the statement said, and that many people have arrived at the con clusion that they are themselves re- sponsible for continuing high range of prices.
 Wholesalers Commended
 Wholesalers in the dry goods trade to some extent have taken "a com mandatory attitude" and are discour- aging their customers from placing heavy fall orders. That has served to slacken demand and create feeling that lower prices-will follow.
 The reports do not give encourage ment concerning price reduction in shoes. There was, however, wide divergence of opinion as to what shoe and leather prices will do.
 Eastern seaboard cities reported q '.piling up of commodities" on this side of the Atlantic. The exchange situation was beginning to reflect 1t self on the export market. as we'll as through general reduction by Euro peans in their foreign buying, it was noted.

Judge Alschuler heard the case
two months ago, but never rend-
ered a decision. The hearing was
re-opened at the request of the
packers. who maintained that the
"decrease in the cost of living
which has come into being since
the previous hearing should be
taken into consideration in this
case. which is the first test between
capital and labor as to whether
there should be further wage in
creases. now that living costs are
decreasing"
Against a Wage Increase.
Mr.. Weld today declared that the
packers were asking only that
wages be not increased, He pre-
scented statistics gathered by the
packers from S79 industrial plants
in various sections of the country
which quoted reductions in work
ing hours, wages, the cost of living

scene occurred in the house of com
mons this afternoon during the
period of questions regarding the
situation in Ireland Joseph Dew
lin, nationalist. and a unioast
member came to blows. The sit
ting was suspended.
The alteration arose after Pre-
mier Lloyd George had addressed
the house briefly in the subject,
being followed by MIR. Devliu, The
premier, when ne arose, said he
shared the horror all felt at the
cold blooded murder on unarmed
British officers.
Gangs Being Broken Up.
The government, continued Mr.
Lloyd George, has resolved to sup
press murder and conspiracy N
Ireland. II was rea lied by all that
to suppress such carefully organ
lied, highly subsidizt d plots would
take time, but the government was
convinced that despite the recent
happenings the Irish authorities
We're succeeding in breaking w the
gangs of assassils.'
The premier said, however, that
should experience show that the
powers possessed by the IRISH gov
eminent had proved insufficient
for that purpose the government
would have no hesitation in asking
the parliament for such further
authority as might be necessary to
achieve that end,
Refuses to Sit Down.
Mr.. DeVlin arose and asked why
it was that when Sir Hamar Green
wood, the chief secretary for Ire
land, was asked question he re-
cited the horrible occurrences
which happened yesterday and yet
said nothing about the appearance
of a military force at the football
match. He was interrupted with
loud cries Of "sit down. MIR. DeV-
lin retorted, II shant sit down,
and continued;
why has this house not been
made acquainted with a recital Of
these events, OF the entry of the
military into the football field and
the indiscriminate shooting Of ten
people,"
There were loud cries of con-
from the house at this.
Sir Hamar replied emphatically
that he has been asked nothing
about the question, but that he was
prepared to answer.
Combatants "ClinCh,"
Mr.. Devlin again arose, amid an
CRY cries of sit down. and was
endeavoring to speak when a
member below him endeavorod to
pull him down. Mr.. Devlin lunged
forward fiercely in an effort to
shake off the hold of the member
and the latter. rising to his feet
the two clinched with each other.
other members came forward to
separate the pair, but nUtwith-
standing these efforts the two men
struggled forward. Mr.. Devlin, los
ing his coat in the crush but still
holding his own, cried. This is
English courage and English chi
valry to attack one man in six hun

After n minute or two the pair
were forced into seats by friends,
and the speaker suspended the sit
ting.

MUSHROOM HUNTING

Those, who, unadvised or irl-ad- vised would gather wild species of mushrooms for the table should re- member that the are embarking up- on an adventure that may lead to a sudden and horrible death," says Louis c. c. Krieger in comunica- tion to the National Geographic so- ciety.
 ITO ask a person to gather his own mushrooms for the table, without pre- vious instruction that will enable him to avoid the deadly kinds, is equiva- lent to, if not worse than, inviting him to put his unprotected hand into a den of rattlesnakes," he continues.
 The names of the wild species of mushrooms marketed cannot be as- certained definitely, since there is with us no such legal control of the sale of mushrooms as obtains in most cities in continental Europe. Gather CTS in the United States either eat tneir finds themselves or sell them promiscuously to any mushroom hun
