ing to coordinate their activities.
 The AAA deals only with food stuffs and a few other commodi- ties affected by the farm relief program.
 The work of the MIRA consum- ers' board has been practically at standstill since the Ogburn con- troversy began. A movement Is under way to make Dr, Howe, who has had notable success in the AAA, more active in the MIRA.
 A price control board, whether
 set up through the consumers
 boards or as a separate agency, would be able to ascertain what proportion of increased prices went to wages and salaries, what part to meet increased costs of raw ma terials, what part to farmers for their. products. If it were found
 that jumps in prices were more than enough to take care of these l items, the firm or industry would be proceeded against on the ground I that it was attempting to exact an
 exorbitant profit.
 Price fixing provisions in codes being formulated by the MIRA are
 receiving increasing attention, with the issue brought. out sharply in the oil and lumber industries. It was understood some form of pilce
 fixing would be provided for In both these codes. .SI The seriousness of the price problem in relatino to. wages was brought out when the department of labor'sf bureau of labor statis-- tics reported that wholesale, prices
 in July increased almost as much
 as payrolls. The payroll index
 showed a gain of 7.9 per cent for
 July over June. There. was an tn- crease of per cent in the whole sale commodity index. During the
 first two weeks of August the wholesale commodity index in-
 creased further, from 69.2 to 69.4. Prices of textile products from an industry now operating under
 an MIRA code, increased from ,6S. 4
 on July .29, to 72.9 on August, 12,
 a approximately greater advance than in other prices. ..@

Copyright. 1888, by United Press) h Washington, Aug 17-(UP)- Strong support for creation of a price control board to regulate price advances and guard against
 profiteering, developed in the Roosevelt administration to-day.
 Control of prices has become one of the most critical problems facing the national recovery ad- ministration.
 The controversy which resulted in the withdrawal of Professor William F. Ogburn, prominent economist, from the consumers ad- visory. board has accentuated this situation. Ogburn warned that lack of statistical data might hamper the MIRA program. He declared the present MIRA consumers agencies were inadequate, to protect the public.
 Advisers to Administrator Hugh s. Johnson have stressed the argu- ment that fundamental purposes of the recovery act will be nullified | if wages do not increase more than prices. In other words, mass pur-
 chasing power will not be im- proved if all the increases in wages
 have to be used to meet increased prices.
 Supporters of the price control
 board plan point out that an agency of this character could keep an adequate check on all in- dustries and determine when price increases were Justified by, in- creased costs resulting from presi- dential re-employment. agreements or, MIRA codes. Signers of the agreements pledge themselves not to raise prices except as necessi- tated by actual cost advances. The price. control machinery might be set up as a joint agency of the MIRA and the agricultural adjustment administration through their respective consumers boards. Dr Frederick Howe, AAA fconsum-
 ers' counsel, is an executive officer of the MIRA consumers' board and tha 4 yu0 cr0iirs have been atten nit .

SHOP.
tically every one will want one or more
printed frocks for immediate wear. In
the darker colors they are excellent for
the business woman, because they do
not show wear as quickly as plain
material. In the lighter, gayer versions
they are favorite for afternoon bridge
parties, and in the dainty flowered chif-
fonS and plaid organdies they are again
with us in the evening. They have q
freshness and newness that delights us
in the Spring. We find them in the
dresses of all price levels, too, and often
in the most inexpensive frocks there
will be some excellent printed designs
made up into very attractive models.
The pattern catches the eye and the
quality of the material is not so evi-
dent, which is a good point for the
present state Of many pocketbooks.
Good taste does not necessarily need
fat budget to satisfy it this season,
though perhaps it might be well to give
a thought to the conditions under which
some of the most inexpensive dresses
may have been made.
But let us consider some Of these
tempting prints. Gray in several tones
with accents of black and cherry red
has an arresting quality. Just to make
1t different it has scarf tie Of black
held in place with two very large cherry
red ball buttons. Black silk crepe also
lines the double slashed sleeves, which
have wide cuffs at bracelet length.
These sleeves are set into generous arm
holes with fagoted bands Of the print.
A most serviceable frock for street and
general wear is a combination of blue,
gray and white in leaf and vine pat
tern, with well covered surface, so
that although it is not dark, yet it will
not show soil easily. 1t has a clever
neck arrangement of the print with tie
ends, all edged with a white organdy
pleating picoted in dark blue The
sleeves are a succession of six bias
rufhes. making them reach just below
the elbows. The skirt has a pleat at
the back to give added fullness. An
attractive printed suit of pussy willow
silk uses small design of browns, grays,
orange and yellow that is lovely. The
short boxy jacket fastens at the neck
with two large buttons, and is sleeve
less. The sleeves, which are quite large
and puffed, are attached to the dress
and have a lattice work of narrow
brown strips set into the printed ma
tertal. Brown silk also makes the soft
collar, which Is tied in bow at the
front.
Field flowers are proving them
selves great favorites on printed
frocks Of navy blue and black, as
well as lighter colors Flaming pop
pies, buttercups, daisies and blue
corn flowers are the themes around
which many of these prints are de-
signed, and they produce effects that
are vivid and youthful. Sometimes
these colors are combined with light
green to good advantage, as in one
dress where band of plain green silk
outlines the round neck and con-
tinues down the shoulders through
the center Of the cape sleeves. The
print of the frock is cut out to con-
form somewhat to the floral design
and appliqued onto the green band
A dainty and fresh-looking gray
print is sprinkled with small black
and white figures. 1t has a double
collar of white organdy with the
edges bound in gray, and the sleeves
are formed Of three ruffles of

Despite its size, the turkey vulture is

These birds take little interest in nest

log, stump, or shelter Of palmetto,
and brood from one to four yellowish
or grayish white eggs splashed with
brown and black spots. The young
look like huge powder puffs. they are

fierce red and are wrinkled: the beak
is 2k inches long and white, while
the nostrils are wide and opening

dish-hazel, but rather benign looking
and the neck. though bare, Is hidden by
the handsome plumage. Over the up
per part of the body the feathers are
a deep, lustrous black, with here and

the wings, tail and tail coverts are a
sooty black. The wings are exception

knickers and their ankles are Scaly,

introduces black monkey fur midway
through the pun sleeves OF the
jacket.
A LII prints are not floral patterns,
IA however, and right at this point Is
where stripes. checks and plaids come
into the picture. A black and white
finely checked triple sheer Is used for
an adorable frock for smart country
club affairs. 1t is combined with white
checked pique which forms the straight
narrow collar band and tie at the front
and also makes a triangular plaStron
which is fastened in place with three
large white buttons on each side. The
wide part Of the triangle is at the top
and the point at the waistline. A very
narrow, slender triangle OF the checked
material Is superimpOSed on the white
pique pointing upward This makes .
very nice effect. But that is only half
of the story, for there Is darling white
pique waistcoat jacket with big puff
sleeves that goes with it, and the two
certainly will cause eyes to turn and
follow the wearer of this smart outfit.

jacket with wide white pique revers. A

tical outfit for all Summer, including
