Prices Dropping

she said. That's a tribute to the
American housewife and her re-
fusal to pay exhorbitant prices"
Both Mrs. Bolton and Mrs.

buyers strikes ana considered
day-to-day dollar-wise shopping
more effective.
Mrs. Woodhouse said that this

only ease matters until We get
OPA's protection again"
Lacks knowledge
Mrs. Henry A. Wallace, wife OF
the secretary of commerce, frank

bands knowledge, but that she
knew that spendthrift shopping
resulted in high prices. She
advocated buyers strikes.
Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, chief
of the U. s. Chfldren's bureau,
said she was afraid that high
prices will deprive youngsters of
the proper food. She urged moth
ers to cut out Injuries and keep
on buying plenty of milk for the
children"
