Then comes Richard Dennison, whose uncle and aunt also go there . prepared to give Dennison a consid- erable sum of money if his young wife Should meet with their approval. The young wife is on the way to Hartfora, but meanwhile, Betty Brown is mis- taken for her and as she takes no pains to, correct the mistake much confusion and merriment is caused. Finally, tthe real Mrs. Dennison ar- rives and is horrified to find that her husband is apparently passing off another girl as his wife.

Housewives to Blame for False ; Measures and High Cost of Living Burean Inspector Says Honest Dealers Are Discouraged By Unfair Co'mpétsition—-Miss McCormick Proposes Scientific Buyin It is all the fault of the housewife says the Br.eau of Weights and Measures. She won't let the dealer be honest. And ‘“quite true” says Miss Rhea McCormick, inspector for the bureau of measures. & This young woman goes from store to store ostensibly to make purchases, and while she is thiere she watches the dealer as closely as every purchaser should, but few do. Her plea is sin- gular. “Let Dealer Bo Honest.” “Please let the deaier be honest," she asks us to say to the housewife: »It is your fault that he s dishonest. Ir the first place unfair competition makes him cut his prices, ostensibly. And when he cuts his pricés un- He is forced to d6 so in self-cefense. “Take a dealer of good repute who sclls a certain cut of meat for 26 cents a pound, and is thriving and carrying on an honest business. But you hear of another dealer who sells his for 22 cents. He ig able to do thi§ because he gives a poorer quality, or because his methods in some way are objec- tionable, and on threat of 10sing your trade you force your own dealer to lower his pricés. He makes up the Geficit by manipulating his seale, call- out the wrong weight, or through ny other of the half dozen methods «f which the housekeeper may be ignorant. Most Helpful Sign. “The pedlers have asked us to send inspectors two or three times a week in order to straighten them out. They are gick of being dishonest, or under- cutting and overcharging. - But no one j can afford to raise his marked prices te what hé actually charges the un- knowing customer unless he is cértain that the eothers will. Tt would meatn &n entire loss of trade. Their sénding to us for aid is one of the most hope- ful signs we have had.” Commissioner Joséeph Hartigan, re- sponsible for the drastic measures now carried on, says: “The question of weighits and measures is at the bot- tom of the modern high cost of living problem.” And further, to illustrate his meanihg, heé makes this astound- ing statement: ~ “THe average care- lees housewife loses 8 cents on every $1 through shert weights and meas- ures.” When one campuzes from this the average daily, monthly and year- g By Weight. | i loss, the problem assumes start- | ling proportions. I Encourage Honest Dealer. “The first and most obvious method of discuraging dighonesty,” contends Miss McCormick, ““is by encouraging ! the honest dealer and rerusing to pa- ironize the dishonest dealer. That is being dome so much now, particu- larly becauseé of the care of the com- mission, that the dealer wants to be Lounest. He seeks opportunity to tkfow off his ‘tricks of trade.” Really 1itost dealers who did the questienable things did not realize tnat they were stealing. They thought it was dif- ferent. It was convention to de those things, and now the convention is changing, and honesty makes for reputation, and that means a steéady trade. And a steady trade is the only cne that is profitable. You will find that the dishonest dealers, as a rule, are continually changing not only eus- temers, but their locations.” Miss McCormick then spoké most strongly of the criminal negligence of the housewife. Carelessness to Blame. “When she is careless she is being Cheated,” she says. ‘That wrongs the dealer éven more than it wrongs | her. 1 can explain that to you. For- merly the tricks were simple. They wetre. the faulty scale, the false bot- tomed basket or liquid measure. But that is not the case now. There is not any more of that deliberate and consigtent thievery. There is other kind of thievery, in which thé deéaler pits his brains against yours. And you must be on the alert. But Really, there ig' room for a great deal of carelessness. And when the house. wife leaves it all in the hands of the merchant she is placing too great a responsibility upon him. It is not fair to him. It is very easy not to look at theé scale correctly. 1 does not indicate the deliberate de- sire to steal. when he sees that the scale says eleven and a quartér ounces and calls out roughly, twelve ounces. But to you there may in some cases be the différence of 7 cénts in a sin- glé purchase. Buy Yeur Own Seales. “When a dealér is dishonest today. said Commissionser Hartigan, ‘‘hé is clevérer than you are. And that is an- | there is still room for carelessness. “OVER THE WIRE” | By DOROTHY CLARKE Did you knew that Gladys spending the week with me?

A few hours later the postman brought me a letter, and after ] read it I knew I had judged the magazine article too hastily. Por, letter was true (and it plainly was), the article might easily be. No, the letter wasn’t about another girl who fed her soul penge of evervone about her. But it was as unthinkable ih its Washes, Sews, and Cooks for Ten. : Tts writer was the mother of five children. “I take care of it ones,” she wrote, 1 wash, sew, and cook for them all and for g' who help my husband do the work about the place. 1 have cent I could get for them to give them a good edueation and a good MJQ. Now what do they do in return for all this? ‘Well, here are a few of theé things they do: They tell her that she doesn’'t know how to epok (because she time to make fancy cookiés and cake). They laugh at her, before outsiders, when shé makes mistakes grammar. They make fun of her friends if she brings them (o thé house. Tell Her How Old She Looks, They tell her how old she bhegins to leok. They laugh at her voice when she sings in church. . They say that her hands are a fright and ask Wer whén she last cured them. 1 They seold her when she forgets. »rd These are just a few—not anywhere neat all—of thé ways that children find to repay a mother for going down into the wvalley of shadow to get them and for devoting every moment and every { of her life to them. g But to me the most pathetic senténce of ail was this: “When £ 4w in the next room 1 can sometimes hear them talking of thi love to have them tell me, or say in my presence, of the events of the progress they are making in their work and things like that” If your child asks for bread, will you give him a stone? * Parents Aren't Like That But Children Are.
