WANDERER FAKES INSANITY?

Coroner Hoffman Discouraged Over
Wife Murderer's Chance of Reprieve.
Chicago, July 3O.-If Carl Wander
er, doomed murderer of his wife and a
ragged stranger, escapes the penalty
of death the public will receive a blow
from which it will never recover and
the county officials might as well lay
down on their jobs and quit. Coroner
Peter Hoffman declared in a state
ment today. Wanderer received a
sixty-day stay from Governor Small
just in time to prevent his hanging
Friday morning.
Wanderers jailers said he was per-
forming queer antics IN his cell and
they branded them fake insanity"

on the large tongue and Colonial pump
styles this summer have taken some
big losses. The vogue among women
for fabric hats has caused some ap-
preciable losses to retailers who had
played the straw hat as the seasons
winner. All through the list of wom-
ems apparel there are dozens of cases
OF this kind, where profits have been
eaten up by the reductions that had to
be taken on merchandise that has gone
cut of fashion.
The spring and summer season in
women's clothing and dress accessories
this year, say the merchants has seen
more changes in style than any season
in their experience for years. To make
matters more difficult staple merchan-
disc is in light demand, and the highly
styled commodities have first call
among the shopping public.
When the business depression began
TO make itself felt and unemployment
was talked of as a leading factor in
reducing the spending capacity of the
general public there was a logical con-
Clusion among the retailers that
cheaper merchandise would spring into
large demand, through economizinp
tendencies on the part of ultimate con-

AS an example he cited the new price
for structural shapes, which is 2 cents
pound, or $44.S0 a gross ton, the
comparison with pre-war prices reflect
ing concretely the following three more
important cost factors
The increase over pre-war cost in
transportation on ore, coal, limestone.
scrap, and miscellaneous supplies
amounted to $7.S5 per ton of finished
steel; the increase in the cost of coal.
ore, limestone, alloys, refractories,
lubricants and miscellaneous supplies
at point of shipment amounted to $40
per ton of nishedSsteel; the increase
in the cost of labor under the present
wage scale, as compared with pre-
war wages in the company's steel plant
proper. was 1854 per ton of finished
steel.
These items, according to Mr.. Graces
calculation, account for an increase in
present-day costs of $2059 ton of
finished product. He then proceeds to
conclude that the new price of s44.sO
for structural steel is equivalent to a
pre-war price of s242l per ton, or LOS
cents pound. This compares with
ten-year pre-war average of ISL cents
per pound.
Putting aside, however, any con-
sideration of the relatively of present
and pre-war costs the following table
shows the prices on leading products

The Elusive Bottom,

ave have been fooled SO often on
the rock bottom price idea" said the
vice-president of Fifth Avenue de-
partment store the other day, chat we
have come to regard all prices as I'M
stable. Especially in women's apparel
We have found that as the weeks, and
even days, go by we can go into the
market and buy goods cheaper and
cheaper. Of course, the drops from
day to day or week to week are much
smaller than they were several months
ago, but at the same time we are op-
Grating on such close margin of gross
profit now that even these slight price
changes affect our business. The only
way to play the game safely is to buy
goods in small quantities and then
2ush them out rapidly before they de-
preciate in price or in style"
The style element is one of the big
gest problems in the real estate field
now, and stories of large losses on
merchandise that has suffered from
quick change in style are frequent.

Difficulties in the Wav
OF Holding Silk Prices
u. S. Consul in Japan Sees
Trouble i'm Governments
Efforts

There are a number of difficulties to
be overcome in carrying out the policy
OF the Japanese government to main
tain the price of silk b. endeavoring to
materially reduce the production dur
ing the present year. writes Consul
Lester L.. Ochnare to the Department of
Commerce. The governments program
Is fostered by silk merchants and spec
ulators, who have large stocks of silk
on their hands.
A reduction in output means re-
duction in labor, which, in turn, neces-
states reduction in employees, which
Will leave many workers without means
OF earning a livelihood. This is un-
fortunate in the agricultural districts
at this time. since simultaneous eff
forts are being made to reduce the
production of rice and wheat in order
to uphold the prics of these commodi-
ties on the market.
In addition to these considerations
thousands of foeuer farm laborers who
have been employed during recent
years in the factories and mills of the
cities are now being released from the
industries, which have had to curtai,
or cease their production. These Ia
borers have nowhere to seek employ
ment except in the country, and there
IS great possibility that the surplus
labor, which must be susceptible to
employment at low wages, may lead to
surreptltious growing of silkworms and
thus increase, rather than diminish.

to our own satisfaction. In our adj
Xertising we have stressed lower prices
and have featured the cheap merchan-
disc. Possibly this brings customers
into the store, but upon comparing
quality they decide in favor of the bet
ter quality goods, which naturally are
more expensive.
Zone thing We all have noticed, how
ever, is that the general public is in
sistlng more strenuously on good quail
lty, no matter what price is paid. Dur
ing the war and in the boom times fol-
lowing there were comparatively few
complaints about quality. People seemed
willing to accept almost anything and
pay the price. Shortages and substi-
tutes evidently had been so widely
press-agented that people accepted what
was given them as the best that could
be had
This tendency has been completely
reversed now. Customers take longer
in making their decisions before buy
ing and ask more questions of our
sales people concerning the wearing
qualities of merchandise. | think that
merchants have profted by this ten
dency and that the grade of merchan-
disc now being given the public is of
much higher quality than it was q
year Or two years ago. The merchant
seeing that his customers demand the
utmost in quality, is in turn demand
ing it of his wholesaler or manufac-
turer"
The purchasing of greater number
of units of merchandise by the general
public has not been without it's adverse
effect upon the stores. One merchant
pointed out that the greater number of
transactions has added greatly to the
