WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. A.
The outstanding fact about the re-
tail market these days is the Varla-
tion you can discover in the price
asked for exactly the same article at
different stores.
Some retailers are apparently try
ing to stand pat on war time prices
while others are trying to bulld up
their trade and hasten the turnover
by selling at the lowest prices they
can. No doubt. too, the retail price
varies widely because the wholesale
prices. at which goods now IN stores
were bought, also vary. Some re-
tailers have goods in stock bought
at war time wholesale prices, ana
they are holding them for price that
will give them at least their money
back. Others, who bought more
cautiously, have the same articles
purchased at somewhat lower rate
Whatever the reasons for this var
ietv Of price on the same article, IL
certainly exists, and it creates an un-
usual opportunity for the resourceful
aud determined shopper to fled what
he is looking for at low price. IN
eidentally, the fact that in the same
town the same article is SOLD 1or
three or four different prices SHOWS
that most people are not resoufceICl
and determined shoppers. While con-
stantly protesting against hign prices,
they, as a rule. tamely pay Whatever
the retailer demands, and they MAKE
no special effort TO patronize the
man who offers goods at a low price.
They buy where they are accustomed
to buying. and would rather pay a
few cents or dollars more than walk
a few blocks farther. This Is un-
doubtedly much more true OF men
than of women.
Cigarettes at Three Prices
Take for example. such a prepon-
deratinglv male trade as that IN 10
hacco The most surprising varla-
ton in the prices charged for tle
same article is observable. In TINS
CITY. for example. there is a certain
brand of cigarettes which may be
purchased at II, IS or 20 cents q box.
There are just about as many places
selling them at one price as at either
OF the others. But all places seem 70
be doing an equally good business IN
them. II would seem that the cigar
ette- smoker buys where he is ac-
customed to buying and that q saw
ing of is per cent is not enough 10
induce him 20 change his habits. IN
this case, there is not much To IN
duce the retailer 10 ;ower his price.
II a low price brought a FLOOD OF
trade and a high price produced a
prompt boycott, IL is extremely PROB
able that the average of retail prices
would fall.
In another case a brand Of trade
marked and nationally advertised
khaki trousers, widely used by
sportsmen, was priced at three ar
Fa~ent s+ores. The nrices were $3.50.

Rrinas Booze; stays

BISBEE-Chris Heikkennen saved
peace officers the necessity for any
undue exertion yesterday by walking
up to the very doors of the city hal
to be arrested on a charge of having
liquor in his possession. Deputy
Sheriff Gipson was standing in front
of the Jail yesterday when he saw
Heikkennen approaching.
The deputy waited until HIS man
reached the jail door, then halted him,
took three bottles OF liquor from his
pockets, and locked him up. Gipson
did not say whether he has X-ray
eyes, a keen sense of smell, or wheth-
er he heard heartbeats as Heikkennen
roached.-Review.

CONTESTS TEACH CHILDREN SAFETY
School Officials Report That Effects of National
Safety Contests Beginning To Be Apparent
Many Manuscripts Written


WASHINGTON, d. C.-Reduction of automobile
cdents and fatalities among school children already
beginning to be apparent result of the
tional safety contests conducted by highway and
highway transport education committee according to
reports emanatng from all sections of the country 1t
said here today by officials of the committee.
I'VE observe decided tendency toward CAREFUL
ness" writes one school superintendent. 1T is un-
likely that the principles of safety could have been
impressed more firmly upon the minds of our pupils
In any other than by of the contest
conducted under your supervision"
With the contest over the next task, according to
the committee is the grading of the manuscripts and
the awarding Of the 472 state and territorial prizes
and the national honors and prizes offered for the
best essays best prepared in the
tests Correspondence with school officials from all
sections of the country indicate that veritable de-
luge Of essays by pupils and lessons by teachers
reaching the offices of the superintendent and prn
cpals.
I'VE feel keenly the responsibility that devolves
upon us to that each manuscript written receives
careful consideration say officials of the commit
tee. We are receiving splendid o-operation from
county city and state superintendents Of schools"
AS result of the campaign conducted by the
committee many inquiries are being received regard
ing the best means of caring for local conditions.
These requests come from Tennessee, Michigan Cali
fornia, and other states 1t is believed the committee
eventually will become clearing house for safety
ideas, disseminating them to all persons interested
the protection Of children from motor mshaps.
One interesting result of the contests is the plea
has been granted Hawaii. Alaska, the Philippines and
Porto Rico because of the physical handicaps that
prevented the committee from reaching school and
public officials there with the news of the campaign
in time for them to begin the preparation of their
manuscripts at the time pupils and teachers in
the states commenced work. An exchange of cable
gram messages has given these outlying sections
until January 21 to submit essays and lessons.
1t is said that the results of the contests can not
be known before March April At that time gem
eral announcement will be all schools and
persons interested, and to the press
