amendment is expected within few
weeks, according TO communications

the part Of Florida Legislators for
ratification, Is a petition signed by
a majority of the members of the

session asking for submission of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment for
ratification.

Eight Billion
Year S "Waste" !"
For Luxuries
Miss Strauss, Expert, Who
Drives Auto and Wears
Diamonds, Says So.

Miss Edith Strauss, head Of the
woman's division Of the Depart
ment of Justice high cost of uv-
ing campaign. has discovered what
is causing high prices-too much
money spent for luxuries.
Now, personally. Miss Strauss
dresses extremely wen. drives her
own high-powered automobile,
which Is by no means in the fivver
class, always has a few or more
diamonds on her and lives gener.
ally In quiet elegance.
So much for her quiet inclina-
tions. for in her message yesterday
to the great American Public Miss
Strauss says that in order to get
back to the pre-war level of prices
the ultimate consumer must do
without automobiles, tobacco must
be put aside. floors shall no longer
be covered with carpets. and pianos,
organs and monographs must be
eliminated from the shopping list.
All of these and some more are
luxuries, Miss Strauss finds. and she
has compiled a set of figures show
ing that ss.710,000,000 is being
thrown away on these articles by
the American public each year.
Here are some OF Miss Strauss
calculations that show where the
81 every American family is throw
ing away on 'luxuries" each week
Tobacco. s2.I1o.o00, 900: automo-
biIes. $4,000. 900. 900; candy, $1,000
900. 900: chewing gum. $4,000, 900;
soft drinks. 350,00o. 900: perfumery
and cosmetics. s750,oO0. 900; furs.
s300. .000. 900; carpets and 'luxur-
ious'' clothing, $500. 900, 900: toilet
soaps, s4o0. 900, 200; and pianos. or
gans and monographs, $3.50. 900. 900.
And don't forget this" said Miss
Strauss in explaining her figures.
The labor and capital employed IN
producing these luxuries might
otherwise have been turning out
necessities-clothes fuel, shoes.
houses, food. In other words, the
nation might have more bread IL il
had had less cake. In this instance,
the luxury consumer is paying a
higher price for his necessities be-
cause he is abnormally consuming &
luxuries."

On the charge Of illegal methods s

summoned the Wholesale Grocers'
Association, with headquarters at

fore the commission at an early date.

ufacturers, by means of boycotts
and withdrawal of patronage, 10
discontinue dealing with nonmem-
bers. II is also charged that the
association refused to sell to such
nonmember dealers on the usual
terms. thereby either entirely de-
priving them of supplies. or compell-
ing them to pay prices far in excess
of those paid by members of the as
sociation.

BUILDERS
RECORD YEAR
Value Of New Construction
Since Last June Double
1919 Figures.

Construction in the District of
Columbia saw q banner year. in the
fiscal period ended June 80. Never
since 1910 have figures for building
in Washington approached the sta
tistics for the last fiscal year.
The total value of construction
work in that period is s22,s3s,s ss2,
according to the District building
permit ONCE. or this amount $19,-
12e.soe was spent on new buildings.
Expenditures for repairs and simi-
lar miscellaneous work were s3.-
5f1, $685.
Ten Million In 1919.
These figures practically are dou-
BILE those for the fiscal year OF
|f91S-1s1s, when the total value OF
building activities was $10,509,2s1
At that time expenditures on new
buildings ran up to Ss,3S7.720. Re-
pair work cost $2,121,57I.
The number of building permits
issued for the last fiscal year was
1885. In 1910. 1890 permits were
granted. Since then building fell
off to such extent that for ten years
the 1910 fgure stood highest in
District building statistics. During
the fiscal year ended in 1919 only
4.94s permits were issued.
Foresee Greater City.
The figures are held by District
officials to denote a stimulus to-
ward the creation of greater
Washington. 1t is declared also
that the scarcity of houses to rent
was a vital factor in the increased
building figures for the year. An
other opinion is that campaigns of
local trade organizations for max
ing Washington a greater industrial
city were successful.
