50 Mining Section
Grocers Suspended
For Price Violations

The Once OF Price Administration
has suspended the licenses of SO
groceries in Western and Central
Pennsylvania and West Virginia in
drive to enforce food price CELL
ings and hold down the cost of liv-
Ing in coal mining areas.
Ofdcias here reported that sus-
pensory action for violation of regu-
lations had been initiated In at least
40 other cases. The campaign to
wipe out price chiseling in the areas
where John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, charged
prices had climbed faster than in
the rest Of the country was just
getting started, they said.
The length OF the suspensions
imposed on the go merchants varied
from to so days. All were charged
with violating regulations by charg-
ing over-ceiling prices for rationed
foods. Action was taken following
hearings before commissioners Of
f1cials said the grocers were penal
lied only for overcharging customers
for rationed foods, though viola lions
IN other lines were discovered. Court
action is necessary where the COM
modify is not rationed.
Stores Remain Open.
Stores Of the merchants involved
were not closed for the suspension
period, it was explained. The
grocers merely are forbidden to deal
in certain rationed foods for that
period, depending on extent of the
violations.
There apparently was no informa-
ton here as to whether the stores
were company-o or independ-
ents.
During negotiations last spring fo1
pay increase for his miners, Mr.
Lewis declared prices of living neces-
sites, particularly food, were higher
IN mining areas than elsewhere
Price Administrator Brown ordered
several hundred investigators to
survey the mining sections of Penn
'ylVanla, West Virginia, Southern
Illinois, Kentucky and Alabama. In
Vestlgation showed there were price
violations in the communities
though perhaps no more than in
other sections. The cost OF living
was estimated at 5 per cent higher
than 1t should have been.
Price Drop Reported.
An OPA spokesman declared a re-
survey recently indicated that prices
have been lowered nearly per cent
or approximately to the wartime
normal in mining areas since their
investigation was first begun.
The investigation covered 23O min
ing communities and checks were
made In stores where 100000 miners
purchase their food The suspended
orocers were found guilty of violat-
ing ceilings on such foods as meat
butter, poultry, canned goods and
many items which are not rationeG
Although the number of suspen-
sion orders in the areas seemingly
was large. officials insisted the num-
Der of pricing viola tons in mining
communities were not abnormal.

Daily Repetition is Needed
For Handcraft Instruction
and beaaf,
By A Anselo Pafri

A principle Of education demands
that learner learn every day,
without break, until he has mas
tered the idea. There must be no
exceptions to this regularity. Every
break means q loss, q slipping
backward, that calls for increased
effort. School programs must take
this principle into account to avoid
grave waste of pupils time and
energy, to say nothing of the waste
of teaching time and taxpayers
money.
This principle is usually observed
in teaching the academic subjects
of the course of study. Arithmetic
comes at the same time every day
without fail, and so do reading and
spelling and history and geog-
raphy, for the most part. But when
the subjects of the course that have
been added within the last IS years
are included, the program breaks
down, and the waste Of time and
money and teaching is sad to con-
template.
There are few school boards in
the country who will, today, belittle
the value of handwork, drawing,
science, shop work of all kinds.
These subjects are in the schools
to stay, because they are needed in
the life Of the community. A child
who is left unframed in the arts
and sciences, crafts and industries,
Is a neglected child and there are
few schools left that neglect their
pupils to that extent.
But the children are not given a
fair chance to learn in these fields
in most of our schools. The book
work still holds its high place, but
the applied work, which is the most
valuable of all, is given odds and
ends of time, scant equipment and
scanter respect by the educational
authorities.
Take drawing, sewing, cooking,
science, machine work and see how
these are treated in the schools in
your town. AS usual thing, the
children get one lesson in drawing
a week for the 20 weeks of the term.
The same with the other applied

growing child, who Is ut the height
Of his power to learn skilis to make
required adjustments Of mind and
body. What does this mean to him?
The pupil begins q project on the
day and hour appointed. He starts
with enthusiasm. There are Just As
minutes for this lesson. He must
find his place, get his materials, be
instructed, start work, stop when
the signal is given, return material,
collect his work, file it, and leave
the room promptly for the next
class to take over. He won't see
that work again, the teacher will
not see him again, for a week. He
will have forgotten about the Job,
the teacher will have about forgot
ten him, and he begins all over
again. After 20 weeks of this he
may hand in a piece Of finished
work, but the likelihood is that he
will not. Nobody can keep interest
white hot about an idea he meets
once week as he rushes past 1t.
All children and students who
take courses in shop work OF any
sort should have a program that
calls for q continuous stretch of
time spent on it. He should have
the same lesson at the same time
daily for as long time as is neces-
sary to do reasonably well the thing
he is working at. Then he will have
something for his time, the teach
ers' time, and the money spent upon
the project. This once week busi-
ness is about the most wasteful
kind of management ever imposed
upon a school system.
Unhappy is the child who
doesn't get along well with his
playmates. Helping your child
to adjust happily to problems in
volved in meeting others is the

Suds for EYEGLASSES

People who wear corrective eye
glasses as well as those who wear
goggles and other protective eye
glasses know how distressing it is
to have the lenses become cloudy
and blurred. Smudges impair the
usefulness of glasses, and constant
removal and wiping is nuisance.
According to q well-known New
York optician, glasses should be
cleaned every morning with soap
and hot water. Do this, he says,
and they will seldom need cleaning
during the day. Rinse them we'll
and dry them with tissue paper or

right, too. The secret is that the

words. the secret Of her beauty Is

Last week We saw living proof
Of the beauty effects Of good pos

matically, this exhibit demonstrates

clothing keyed to ali purposes and
all climates from the frozen Arctic
wastes to the hroiling tropic jnngles.
(Next summer. w hope they'll de-
sign something to wear In WASH
ington's broiling tropicsD We were
amazed at the comfort, efficiency
and out-and-out good looks Of the
women's uniforms--fcr wACS and
Army Nurses. However, We were
more amazed at the beauty Of the
WACS who modelled them. AS each
WAC came out on the platform,
you could hear buzz Of comment:
isn't she pretty?" "what beauti-
full figures they havel" II never
realized there were 30 many lovely
WACS."
It finally dawned on us that it
was the WACS' posture rather than
their pulchritude that had every-
body oh-ing and ah-ing. They
carried themselves as though they
were beautiful - and everybody
thought they were. In fact, we were
70 impressed with the WACS' fine
posture that, after pulling ourselves
up straight, We did bit Of shopping
10 md out what rules for the
beauty the Army gave them--if any.
We finally tracked down an i'm
pressive little tome called the "Waf
