Prsys With Priest.
On his last night. Wanderer sang
one song after another. He prayed
frequently with the prison minister.
His songs ranged from Rock Of Ages"
and Nearer, My God, To Thee" to his
popular airs.
Seven years ago a woman awoke
just before dawn screaming at an ap-
partition Of a dream-filled mind. She
visioned her son dangling from the
end Of a moose. She was Wanderers
mother.

She shot herself to death that day,
crazed by the apparition OF her
dream. Fate ruled that her vision Of
seven years ago should come true
today.

Wanderer died on the fifth Black

He plotted his wife's death on the

and letters and kilograms were re.
ceived by delegates today from all
turers and merchants who say they
have begun their price cuts and the
cleaning of their business houses even
before action Of the conference.
The plan Is to work up so brisk mo
mentum for lower prices and increased
business efficiency that the whole
country must be swept along and any
merchants or manufacturers who hold
out in the hope Of maintaining their
wartime prices will find themselves
out on a limb, riding for q fall.
Other measures also will be recon-
mended, such as the rotation Of Jobs,
the putting OF men to work improv-
ing the physical condition Of plants,
etc. But these are recognized as sup
Elementary and of little fundamental
avail. Good business men know that
to rotate jobs increases rather than
diminishes discomfort in the long run.
and no one regards very seriously q
decision to wash a few windows in
the country's factories as a measure
calculated to bring lasting relief.

In a word, the conference has
determined that the moral of Aesop's
fable about the lark and the farmer
must be taken to heart; business
must stop listening to dolorous pre-
dictions Of calamity and get to work
producing goods on a basis of eff
cheney which will make them saleable
at prices which the public can pay.
The conference has revealed, within
itself. all the strengths and weak.
snesses Of the economic situation. The
delegates, nearly all business men,
have been asking each other about
their own unemployment. Many of
them reported closed factories. Others
have told a story of full time en-
ployment. Some even have said they
are looking for more men.
Those whose businesses are running
are manufacturers and merchants Who
nave forgotten the war and have
scaled down their overhead costs to
something approximating prewar
levels. And in nearly every case these
Inen have reduced wages only slightly
or not at all. They have learned that
the people who buy their goods are
wage-earners and that unless these
people are getting good wages they
will have no funds with which to buy.
