1t says here in the newspaper that
man sued his wife for divorce the

when he asked for old-fashioned
Strawberry shortcake she gave him
cake, mind you, and s0hippea cream!
Probably she didn't know any
better. But you should!
Most husbands are old-fashioned
characters. When they yell for old.
fashioned shortcake you had better
roll out a batch of biscuit-nice,
rich, short biscuit. With all the
mixes on the market this should
not cause you any great discomfort.
You should also run like doe
from the oven to the table SO that
the biscuits appear before your
Lord and Master hot as the hinges
of-Heaven.,
Moreover, you must not be mig
gardly with the butter-albeit mar.
garine. And you must not lay hand
on the cream but simply put the
pitcher on the table where a man
can reach it-without straining.
This is unalterable as ordained by
Supreme Shortcake Authorities.
But as for the wherewithal of the
shortcake you have some leeway.
A little while back we set out to
prove what everybody knows
that the strawberry is the number
one candidate in the All American
Shortcake Derby. Like everyone
else we took poll without benefit
of Gallup or Roper. Hurrah for
strawberries!-they won. Peaches
came in second to Place, and rasP-
berries (third) made a mighty
pretty Show.
This is okay by us. We happen to
freeze all three down here on Sea-

Legal Pricing Policy
Asked 10 ASSURE Safety
OF Investors Billions
BY the, Associoied Press

An investment expert warned
Congress today that billions of
dollars in investments will be en-
dangered unless business is given
"a legal pricing policy"
Albert Y. Bingham, vice presi-
dent of Chicago Title and Trust
Co., told a Senate Trade Policies
Committee there are billions of
dollars owned by millions OF people
at stake"
MIR. Bingham was the first to
testify as the committee resumed
its hearings into the effect on
business of the Supreme Court
ruling last spring outlawing the
cement industry's basing point price
system.
The court upheld Federal Trade
Commission ruling that the system
was a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. Under this system, the in
ductry sold cement at uniform prices
including freight, regardless of a
buyers distance from a sales or
oasing point.
After the decision. the steel in
dustry and others dropped their
baSing point systems and began
selling at fob. free on board will
prices-the buyer paying the freight
charges on all transportation.
Businessmen have complained to
the committee that the court deci-
sion raises doubts about the legality
of manufacturers paying part or all
of the freight charges in selling their
products. They have asked Con-
gress to legalize the practice of
freight absorption as long as there
is no conspiracy to fix prices.
Mr.. Bingham insisted that 'busi-
nessmen must know what is legal
pricing policy" He said Congress
should call moratorium on triple
damage suits in the pricing field
for a year or two" until the situa-
ton is cleared up by legislation.
Something must be DONE" he
said, ito provide that the Federal
Trade Commission must find more
than q reasonable possibility of in
jury to competition before taking
legal action"
Giles Morrow. executive secretary
and general counsel for the Freight
Forwarders' Institute, also asked
Congress to legalize the practice OF
freight absorption. Members Of the
institute are carriers of freight spe-
cializing in less thar carload ship
mentS.
Gerald B. Hadlock, executive
director of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporations Once of Rub
ber Reserve, testified the Govern
ment itself includes freight charges
in selling synthetic rubber at uni
form price.
Mr.. Hadlock said the Government
is selling about 100000 tons of syn
thetic rubber a year to about 800
customers. He said las a matter of
equity such rubber must be made
available to all purchasers on
uniform price basis"
