Disparage Advancing Whole
sale Markets; Ready for
Big Sales Next Month: Wei
come SProfiteering' Probe

Some OF the keenest competition that
the retail trade has experienced in
many years has followed the Christ
mas shopping period. The lowest prices
Of the year on some standard branded
merchandise have been reached in the
post Christmas sales, which as yet have
only begun and are far from being in
full sway Retailers are preparing for
strenuous drives for business during
the next month TO clear up the rem
rants of winter stocks and to enter
the spring season with little or no
winter carry-over.
Wholesale prices are no longer q
great problem to the retailer, accord
ing to several department. store ex-
ecutiyes, who, however, are inclined to
disparage the show of strength that is
being made in some wholesale prices
at present. They assert that new stock
for the January clearance sales is
offered in sufficient quantities. at salts
factory prices.
In the main the retailers are apa-
thetic to the latest 'profteering" drive
launched by the Attorney General. One
of them asserted that in view OF pres
ent conditions in the retail trade there
is small chance for profiteering. Sew
eral retailers here said that thorough
investigation of retail prices, especially
in the large department stores, would
be welcomed now

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-yaryinz 2
duties on crude oil were proposed be-
fore the Senate Finance Csn mittse to-
day by spokesmen fer mid-continent n
producers, and all duties we're opposed
by American producers alerating in
Mexico and representatives Of various
oil consumers in this country.
Renewing the aght for a tariff levy
which was lost in the House By an
overwhelming vote, Senator Esrreld,
Republican, Of Oklahoma, said he was
satisfied with the original rates pro-
posed by the Ways and Means Commit
tee, 30 cents barrel or crude and %
cents barrel on fuel. Senator Curtis,
of Kansas, Republican member Of the
Finance Committee, has introduced an
amendment to the tariff bill proposing
these duties.
A. duty of 81 barrel was urged by
Harry II. Smith, OF Tulsa, Okla, sec
retary OF the Mid-Continent Oil and
Gas Association, who said tais would
equalize the difference in the costs Of
production in Mexico and in the mid
continent fields. W. H. Gray, of Tulss,
representing the National Association
Of Independent Oil Producers, suggest
ed no specific rates, but urged that the
President be empowered to assess z
duty equivalent to the combined i'm
port and export ievies imposed By Mex
leo, Colom5is and Venezuela, from
which countries the chief American i'm
ports come.
Small Wells Handicapped
Spokesmen for the Domestic Pro-
ducers said and some members CT the
committee agreed that the mid-conti-
nent industry was in bad condition at
this time. Mr.. Smith said that 200 ,O0o
small wells could not continue in op-
GRAFTON at present prices and that 4
tariff ought to be enacted both as g
protection and conservation measure
Opponents Of q duty on oil said
tariff protection was not>necessary and

ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place In the World and
Duty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Anderson's fairy
tale who, when the emperor was be-
Ing made a spectacle of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, "He hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tons to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness of their attire of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine and it's about time we came out
of some of our illusions. William AL
len White sized it up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising "Main Street.: "Of
course, I'm on the other side of the
street myself, but that's just the rea-
son why | like this book. 1t gives us
fellows something to answer"

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings, Witty and Wise, That Are
Worth Being Preserved In I
an Anthology.

Professor Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch,
in the course of his lively lectures
"On the Art of Reading" gives some
examples of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence.
the accent of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish r. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure ye're always
laughing! That We may laugh In the
sight of the Glory of Heavenl" The
writer once thought of making an an
thology of such wild flowers of way
side speech. He would have included
in it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter in the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point
ing with his whip to an intensely blue
lake on the horizon, "Bitter as dy-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of a ghost
implied in the words of a Newfound-
land fisherman, "There l sees 'em
warming themselves in the NOON
light"
