COMPETITION Before the century Key West experie! ice-cut, wars but they were exceedingly mild compared to the war that is now rai between ‘two drugstores in Los Angeles. Since the war started on April 27, the stores have served meals for as. little as one cent. ec Prices are changing so fast . in the stores that a man, while he was eating, a T-bone steak meal ‘that would have cost him 80 cents, found out, when he, was finished, that the price had, dropped. to fs cents, . ae ‘Owners of the stores have scouts jto keep the managements decreased prices at each store. Last Wed- nesday, one store announced. on a black- board that a breakfast of bacon, toast ahd coffee would be served for a penny. A moment later the other store announced the serving of a similar ‘breakfast at a penny, soithe manager of the first store said he would serve a glass of orange juice with the breakfast, and the other manager added potato chips to the penny break- fast. “ ; And soit goes on, and if it keeps up long enough the owners will lose se much money they will find it hard to keep in business unless they come to their senses. No business can last long selling stipplies for less than what they cost. But man is a strange animal. -Some- times he deliberately runs ‘himself into the red rather than bow to an opponent, and in more serious matters men have frequent- ly lost their fives in determining to have their way regardless of consequences. In Key West in the early nineties, the owner of a clothing store said he was ready to meet-any competition. All cus- tomers had to tell him was that they could obtain articles cheaper elsewhere and forthwith he reduced his prices. We had frequent “bargain days” in Key West at that time, and as soon as one store an- nounced such a sale, several other stores would follow suit. When they found out one another's prices for certain goods, the next day the price wag sure to be reduced a cent or two at competing stores. But cut-throat business is not profita- bie business. It won’t be long before the managers of the two drugstores in Los Angeles will realize how foolish ‘ they have been and put an end to their money- losing competition. ee The secret of continuing national prosperity is continuing consumer buying power. NATION’S HEALTH PROBLEM The necessity for some emphasis upon mental health is clearly recognized when we are told that 8,500,000 persons in the United States are in need of psychiatric help of some type, that nearly half of all hospital beds are occupied by mental pa- tients and that each year 150,000 persons are admitted to mental hospitals. Dr. Howard A. Rusk says that from thirty to fifty percent of all patients consulting doctors have complaints due in part to emotional disorders, that one- third of the disabling accidents _ occur- ring each year are due to personality factors and that mental health undoubted- ly plays a predominant role inthe 1,700;- 000 crimes committed yearly inthe United States. In addition, the doctor suggests that the problems of 250,000 to 400,000 chil- dren under eighteen, who are sent to juvenile courts each year, those of. .600,- 000 cases of chronic alcoholism and many of those who are granted divorce, reflect the predominant role that mental health plays in these statistics. . Medicine has made great strides in the past fifty years. People live longer if it does cost more. HOGS HAVE A WAY The Government of the United States, with the consent of Congress, has pledged the Government to support the price of hogs at 90 per cent of parity. .The hogs must be marketed when matured if the farmer is to get a maximum return when the bumper hog crop is due next autumn. It seems that this commits the Govern- ment to buy $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 worth of pork this year in supporting hog prices under the present program. What hogs the politicians who are running the Government seem to be.
