A-12 GROCERS SAY WK PRICES WEREFXED Testify That Large Compa- nies Prevented Them From | Selling Product Cheaply. B the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, August 21.—Small| meighborhood grocers yesterday testified | large milk companies prevented them | from selling milk cheaply, even though it was available and they could do so | at a fair profit. Samuel Volkman of Brooklyn said at a State investigation into alleged price- fixing that he stopped taking milk from the Brooklyn plant of the Dairyman's League when an independent dealer of- fered him inducements permitting him o lower his price, but the independent dealer was “chased out of town.” 1 was buying milk of Samuel Ad. fer,” he said, “at 6 cents a quart and 80 could sell it for 9. But Benny Sacks of Sacks Dairy Products, owned by the Jeague, came to my store with the head man for Bordens in Brooklyn, took the 9-cent sign out of my window and told me I would buy league milk or I'd be sorry.” Sachs, he sald, wanted $4.40 for a | 40-quart can, and so he refused to | buy, insisting on dealing with Adler. but’ Adler phoned two days later and #aid he could not deliver any more. A dozen other grocers from Brooklyn, | Manhattan and the Bronx testified that on August 11 the price of their milk, for which they had been paying from $3 to $3.60 per 40 quarts, was raised | to $¢ to $4.40. When some of them protested they said they were allowed | & slight reduction. | Charles Cacioppi, president of | Brooklyn dairy, who is under in-| dictment for earlier price activities, | scknowledged yesterday morning he | Had telephoned Nathan Sacks of the | Brooklyn League plant and asked him o take an 8-cent milk card out of the window of & new store. He said neither | tie nor-the league served the new store, | but they both had customers in the region. | AN L FIND ANCIENT WATER MRS.

IGERARD PAMPHLET STIRS UP COMMENT Former Ambassador’s Unem- ployment Plan Is Termed First Essay. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 31.—The Man- chester Guardian, commenting upon the pamphlet of former Ambassador to Germany James W. Gerard, indorsing the Lord Rothermere tariff plan today publishes an editorial headed: “An American Crusader.” The says: “Mr. Gerard is indeed well known as his training has been that of a lawyer and he has not, so far as we. have known, hitherto won any right to the title of economist. “The pamphlet itself reads as the first essay of an enthusiast in an un- WE POSITIVELY editorial | | plomacy ‘was suave, he could give blow | an able representative of the United | States in Berlin during the war, but | familiar field. Mr. Gerard pro that the British Empire, as & whole, should adopt a tariff policy similar to that of the United States, me even more prosperous than the United States and, incidentally, rid herself of her 2,000,000 unemployed. The prospect is attractive, but the argument might have been more effective if not put forward at a mo- ment when unemployment in the United States is & good deal higher than in this country.” The Evening Standard, in an editorial, | says: “Mr. Gerard, who by his pamphlet in favor of empire free trade, has just given fresh proof of his never-flagging interest in the prosperity of our coun- try, will always be remembered for his vaiiant efforts in behalf of British war | prizoners in Germany. “His_task as American Ambassador | in Berlin was_super humanly difficult. He had to do his best for our prisoners and at the same time, so long as his own country remained neutral, main- tain friendly relations with the Ger- mans.” Stating that while Mr. Gerard's di- for blow, the writer mentions the Am- bassador’s retort to former Minister of Foreign Affairs von Jagow, when® the | 1atter said: | 2,000,000 able-bodied Germans in United States,” to which Mr. Ge: replied, “Yes, and we, thank God, we have 2,000,000 lJamp posts to hang them on if they cause trouble.” Killing40,000-People-Annually Breeding by the Millions » Hatched inUnspeakableFilth THE FEARFUL DRY WEATHER IS AID TO PESKY MOSQUITO Fall in Streams During Drought Has Left Ideal Breeding Place for Insect Pests. back the happy days for the pesky mosquito.

PUP IMMUNE TO SHOCK REPRIEVED FROM DEATH| Five Trips to Dog Pound “Electric | Chair” Fail to Take Effect. RIO JANEIRO (#).—One pup of un- certain ancestry held in the dog pound | here is immune from electricity and has been granted an untroubled life. He has been put in the dog “electric chair” five times, but the strongest | current had no effect upon him, al- though other dogs in the chamber with him were shocked to death quickly. ‘They called this pup “Pirolita” be- | eause he was thin and undernourished | when picked up by the dog catchers. He was first placed in the death cham- ber with 11 other dogs. The others died at the first shock, but Pirolita merely cocked one ragged ear. Stronger current was turned on, but the pup just @gazed at the executioner. ‘Three times more the officials placed Pirolita in the death chamber and then the animal should have a home at the pound. o In the past 10 months more than 10,000 dogs have been brought to the pound. Two thousand were claimed by Antonio Prado, prefect, ordered that | owners and 8,101 electrocuted. | \ Is Easy to Make How swiftly and easily you do | the things in your Kitchen that used to take grandmother 50 long!
