logic of the tragedy which had thrust
him into the presidency and he did his
best to clean house.

an unnatural appetite for public office,
and the getting of a job was regarded
as exhilarating sport. From police

who were struggling to get in.

passed in Arthur's administration, took

POLICE DOG IS SHIPS HERO

by the sixteen passengers Of the steam
ship Gdansk, which locked In Brook

across the Atlantic through storms
that more than once threatened to car

Capt. A. II. Peterson, who said 1t
was the toughest voyage of his life
time as a skipper, told the story Of
Thyras' exploit In saving Zeata Ia
borowski, youngest daughter of fam
lily of five children on their way from
Danzlg to join relatives In the United
States.
"Zeata dropped her doll over the
rail and 1t caught on nail on the side
OF the ship" he said. "A heavy sea
was running, but Zeata, who is seven
years old, started to climb after the
doll. Just as she was going over the
side up dashed Thyras who seized her
dress and hung on. The girl screamed
and the purser ran up and dragged
them both to safety. After that Thyras
and his two companions, Tolf and
Nellie, were masters at arms and
practically took care Of the children.

RETAIL PRICES
WILL Be PROBEL
PRICES IN MANY LOCALITIES
ARE FAR TOO HIGH, SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
DIRECTOR BURNS IN CHARGE
Retail Prices of General Foodstuffs,
Fuel, Clothing and Shoes viii
Be Closely Studied.

Washington. Federal investigation
of retail prices charged in various
parts of the country for food, fuel,
shoes and clothing was initiated by
Attorney General Daugherty. He
gave orders to Director Burns OF the
bureau OF Investigation Of the justice
department to assign force of men
at once to the duty Of obtaining data
on retail prices in different localities.
Mr.. Daugherty declared that prices
of necessary commodities were too
high and that in some instances the
profits of retailers were ''unconscion-
able" 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 proportioned' re-
tail prices should be maintained
Mr., Burns was instructed to put his
men to work simultaneously to obtain
the variations in various localities in
the retail prices of general foodstuffs,
such as meats, provisions, beans,
bread and butter, fuel, shoes, and
clothing and to make schedules of the
comparative prices. Reports will also
be gathered on the wholesale prices OF
wheat, beef and meats of all kinds in
order, Mr. Daugherty explained, that
comparisons might be made of the
costs Of these commodities with the
prices charged by the butchers and
grocers. The departments agents are
to be instructed to do their work care
fully as rapidly as possible.
Action to remedy price conditions,
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 do as much as they could to
solve 1t with federal cooperation.
Secretary Hoover, he added, would .
be invited to join with the justice de-
partment in its effort to lower prices,
while it was believed that the publ.
cation Of the comparative wholesale
and retail prices would do much to
remedy high prices by conveying TO
the housewives of the country accu-
rate knowledge Of actual conditions.
