COVE RNMENT To
START PROBE Of
RETAIL PRICES
Cost of Necessities Too
High, Claims Attorney
General; to Act Through
Several Channels.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Federal
investigation of retail prices
charged in various parts of the
country for food, fuel, shoes and
clothing was initiated today by At
torney General Daugherty. He or
dered Director Burns of the bureau
of investigation of the justice de-
partment to assign men at once
to obtaining data on retail prices.
Mr.. Daugherty declared prices of
necessities were too high and that
in some instances profits of re-
tailers were 'unconscionable."
1t would never be possible, he
asserted, to get prices down to
the pre-war level, but with wages
lowered and the costs of foodstuffs
reduced, he was determined to
learn whether the present badly
proportional" retail prices should
be maintained.
Mr.. Burns was instructed also to
have his men obtain in various To-
calities the retail prices of gem
eral foodstuffs. such as meats,
provisions, beans, bread and but
ter, fuel, shoes and clothing ana
anu " Ildhe SCHGuultS. IkGPOl 10
will also be gathered on the whole
sale prices of wheat, beef and
meat, in order, Mr.. Daugherty ex-
planned, that comparisons might
be made of the costs of these COM
modities with the retail prices.
Action to remedy price condi-
lions, Mr.. Daugherty declared,
would be taken through several
channels. In the main, he said, the
situation was a local one and the
states would be asked to aid. Sec
rotary Hoover, he added, would be
invited to join in the effort to low
er prices while it was believed
that the publication OF the COM
parative wholesale and retail
prices would do much to remedy
high prices.
Organizations of retailers in diff
ferent parts of the country were
blamed by Mr.. Daugherty for high
prices. These associations, he de-
clared. were formed "by smart
men who sold a scheme to defeat
the laws by perfecting an organi-
cation for fixing prices which con-
cealed its real purpose under a
declaration of a desire to help
competition.
The department, he stated, in
tends to get these smart fellows"
while at the same time recognizing
that many innocent merchants
had been imposed on by them. He
declared himself in favor of trade |
organizations which confined oper-
atoms to improving their service, |
but he asserted they would not be
allowed to fix prices or apportion
territory among their members,
thus sitting competition.
Trade associations generally, he
said, were showing a commenda-
BILE willingness to confine activi-
ties to the lines suggested by the
Justice department as in conformi-
ty with the law, but where the
departments advice had been dis
regarded, it had been necessary to
institute proceedings under the
Sherman anti-trlEst act.
The decision of the supreme
court Monday in the hard wood
case, which defined the general
scope of activities of trade associa-
lions, he added would do much
TO remove uncertainty as to the ex-
act application of the law to the
activities of trade associations and
would enable accurate definition
of what practices were legal AMI
which were illegal.

NEAR EAST HAS
REACHED NORMAL
POLITICAL LIFE
(By The Associated Press.)

Adana, Cilicia, Dec. 22.-The
Near East, which experienced
many turnovers during the great
war, is now settling down to what
may be regarded as political nor
malcy. England has already rid
herself of Mesopotamia and Trans
jordania and now France has re-
leased Cilicia.
By an agreement reached be-
tween Franklin Bouillon, repre-
senting the French government
and Mustapha Renal Pasha, the
entire province of Celicia is hand
ed back to the Turkish nationalist.
In return one French company
has received lease on the Bag

TOLLBY
FIRE is DUE TO
CARELESSNESS
Use of Electrical Devices
Growing Cause of Losses,
Statistics Show.
BY LEILA b. CHEsLINE.
Assistant state Fire Marshal. }

Much has been said with reference to
fire prevention but just as long as the
ire department is asked to respond TO
calls where absolute carelessness is evf-
dent. there will be need Of further edu-
cation along this line.
One of the chief causes Of dwelling fires
Is the numerous electric devices that have
been installed In order to eliminate much
Of the drudgery of womans work. All
such improvements are welcomed and
when properly used are a joy. But The
old habit Of carelessness. with which tho
American people are self inflicted, usually
gets in it's work and suffering and woe
attends the tragedy. The careless use
of the electric iron is now the cause OF
% per cent % so per cent of electric fires
It has been found that owners Of cleo
trio washing machines are habitualy
overlooking them, causing blowouts OF
fuses, which are replaced by fuses Of toe
high amperage for safety. Leaving the
current on the iron when not in use
and overlooking the washing machine are
both preventable causes Of fire and loss
OF S25000,OO0 year from electrical fires
with hundreds of deaths, chiefly among
women and children, is too neayy a toll
TO pay for the American habit Of careless
ness.
zach fire and its cause is reported to
the fire prevention bureau and while
some are from causes over which the in
dividual seemingly has no control, the
majority are preventabie. We watch the
reports with a great deal Of interest and
while there are fewer calls lately, some
very foolish and needless calls continue
TO come in.
For instance what do you think of
these: Current left on electric irons. 10;
spontaneous combustion from oil mops,
g pot Of beans burning, ,; pot of prupes
burning, pot of meat Burning, o; grease
burning on stove. 6; paper over flue
holes, 4; set fire to hen house while
smoking out the lice. open bonfires, 80;
to say nothing Of fifty two scares and
thirty four false alarms.
But the services Of our flremen does
not end mere Once this month they
we're called to a home and, on arriving,
learned that the woman wanted the Pc
lice instead. Another time & man was
locked out of his house and wished the
assistance Of the ladder truck to gain
entrance.
A fire truck responding to the call Of
duty typifies law and order fighting dis
order IL Is conservation fighting de-
struction. It Is rescue fighting the de-
stroyer. All these and many other
things the fire trucks signify rs they
hasten over the streets on their way 10
fight, TO save and to conserve And
every time a truck responds to a call,
the men on 1t take their lives in their
hands. Let no one add TO their hazard
by causing a fire by carelessness
