BETTER BUSINESS ETHODS URGED Decrease in. Use of Exag- gerated Comparative Val- ues Is Recommended. Decrease of the use of exaggerated comparative values in advertising is in the program of work outlined by the | Better Business Bureau here under the revised personnel. Frank R. Black, director of the bu- reau, who was formerly directing textile and clothing surveys for the national vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, has completed a survey of comparative prices in Washington. Extensively “Misused.” In a recent letter to a large store here he states: “Comparative prices and values are being misused extensively, not as much in Washington probably as in other cities, but enough in every place to make.their advertising value doubtful. The only way to recrsate their vaiue is to have them confined reasonably and legitimately and not temporarily but consistently. It is toward this that the bureau has been and is working. Cites Penalties Incurred. It is interesting to note that there kave been a number uf pi ecutions and convictions in the District of Di Columbia for using exaggerated com- | parative prices. Recently one of the cialty shops in the city was fined $300 for advertising neckties for 29 cents which were alleged to be 50 and 75 cent values; for advertising $10 and 312 Palm Beach suits for $4.75, and for advertising $ shirts for $1.29. The defense claimed that an ordinary aggeration of value was not a mis- maller spe- representation of facts. The jury tgreed otherwise. “The value of any merchandise Ihould be judged by the buying power | »f the dollar on the day's inarket, and ® advertised. Statements of former jrices are more easily substantiated Jnd are more definitg and conductive of accuracy thad the mere advertised statement of value, arbitrarily estab- lished.” Adherence to Business Practice. In this special campaign the burcau % insisting upon close adherence to the recommendations of the busines yractices committee. This committe ueaded by B. B. Burgunder of Kanns' Sons Company, and composed of other prominent business men-and whose report has been approved by Mdvertising representatives of the Wasbington newspapers, sa “The Better Business Bureau disapproves uwf all compardative prices that are ot bona fide, and suggests that the hse of the werds ‘value’ amd ‘worth’ be discouraged.” NEW CLUE IN MOUNT MYSTERY REPORTED Former_ Student Said 1to Have Made Important . .

Secretary Wallace Opposes Injunc- tion Sought by Indian Tribe. i Henry C. Wallace. Secretary of Agriculfure_and member of the fed-- eral power commigsion. today H!ked’ the District Supreme Court to dis- | miss the injunction proceedings r cently filed by Steve Super and Ben- jamin H. Wilder, members of the Karok tribe of Indians, to prevent the power commission from granting concession to private concerns for the exploitation of water power in the Klamath national forest in Cali- fornia. Mr. Wallace contends that the court is without power to grant the relief sought because it would be an unwarranted interference with { the duties imposed on the commission by Congress. The local court also lacks jurisdiotion because the land in question is in California and is under the jurisdiction of the Secre- tary of Agriculture, it is claimed. The Indians claimed that by the treaty with Mexico the land was given exclusively to the Karoks, and that the commission is without power to grant concessions.
