The greatest crowds besieged the schools at 161st Street and Brookyn Avenue. There were about 1,000 women in lime at both these depots when the doors were opened. Additional sales clerks and cashiers were on duty in all the schools and the distribution moved smoothly and rapidly. Small boys with hand wagons and pushocarts and beby carriages reaped & barvest taking goods from the schools to the homes of the pur- chasers, The charge for this ser- viee ranged from a dime to a quar- ter and housewives were glad to pay it Bronx seekers for bargains were able to buy bacon, canned peas, corn, soup, tomatoes, pork and beans and condensed milk. BROOKLYNITES OUT EARLY TO LAY IN STOR Brooklyn folk went early to to.day's sales. At Public Schoo! No. 7, in York Stroet near Bridge, where yesterday the sales totalled $496.06, condensed milk gold rapidly this morning, there having been many inquiries for it on the first day, Rich and poor were! represented in the line, and among them wero three firemen from a near- by fire house. Youngsters brought | home-made wagons and pushmobiles | with them to help carry the food | home. When Mrs. Mary Wise, Democratic Jeader in the Eighth Assembly Dis- triet, and in charge of the sale of Army food at P. 8. No, 83, Hoyt and President Streets, Brooklyn, declared | the sale to be on this morning, more | than 150 persons were in line armed with all manner of can-carrying con- trivances. Yesterday $1,062 worth of Army food was sold at this school, and indications at noon to-day pointed to a breaking of that record, Many dealers who appeared to-day at the sale at Public School No. 147, MoKibben Street and Bushwick Avenue, were recognized and no sales wore made to them. Commissioner Day said it was evi- dent from yesterday's experience that the rich as well as the poor feo! the effects of the high copt of living. Many eapensively dressed women who came in automobiles topk thelr places be- side their pooreg sisters, who had broysht baby carriages along to carry ay purchases. It was found at the clowe of the day that the demands had been greatest in well-to-do sections, But this was partly due, it was thought, to the fact many of the poor 4id not understand the sales as yat. DEALERS PLEDGE GUT IN PROFITS ON FOOD TO WAR BOARD MARGIN 3,000 Grocers Promise Action— Some Butchers Protest, but Accept Compromise, Representatives of 3,000 retail core and of twenty-two branches of the Master Butchers Association of the five boroughs stand pledged t- day to a reduction of food prices. The price of leas expensive cuts of meat will be reduced at least two cents o pound within the next few days. Many food dealers have already cut prices because of the sale of army food. The various Federal, State and city agencies working for ‘ower prices were elated to-day over the success Of their campaign, and over the outlook for further relief. Following the announcement that wayg.and means aré being sought for placing on fale more than 4,000,000 pounds of frozen army meats here, came word from Washington to-day that New York will be able to get much more army food than at fivst indicated. The War Department made public that plans have been made for sale to the public of practically all the surplus food i possession of the army, This Includes about 213,000,- 000 pounds of bacon and canned THE EVENING worfp,/ PRIDAY, ‘AUGUBT a2,” ii FOOD om WANTED BY PUBL ASSERTS. WITESS Dealers Who Charge Most Sell the Most, Senate Com- mittee I Told. WASHINGTON, Aug 22.—-People ought to be eatisfied with present food prices; there Jan't any profiteer- ing’ in the retail meat and grocery business, and consumers want to pay high prices. Thomas Duan, a st. Louls meat dealer, told the Senate Agriculture Committee to-day at the hearing 6n legisiation to control the packing jndustry, “Retailers are hard working people, eating themselves what other people won't use,” Dunn said, “There isn't & retail food profiteer in the country.” “Do you think the people are satin- fied with present food prices?” asked Senator Kenyon, Republican, Towa. “If they are not they ought to,be,” Dunn answered. ‘The trouble is they ant to pay more, They tell’me they set finer cuts of meat by paying five cents more a pound at certain shops. “They rather like high prices, then?” Senator Kenyon continued. “They do, ‘The working peopig are the worst offenders, ‘They absolutely Won't have anything but the finest and best. ‘The only good this investi gation can do is to make thege people think and get the fool ideas about food out of their head The five big packers are not mo- and needed no regulation, Dunn sald. “Well, it the five shold get 100 per éent. of the business,” Senator Har- rison, Democrat, Mississippi, put in, ‘would you want them regulated” “Oh, that ‘If stuff,” Dunn exclatmed. “You want to do business on facts, Rot ‘ifs’ and ‘ands'.” “I understand most of this com- mittee are farmers,” Dunn continued. “I want to learn something. A bul- lock's carcass costs $70 more to-day than it did five years ago, What 1 | want to know is who gets that extra $70. ‘The farmer? a'm the gink that pays them $70 and i'd like*to Know. It ian’ the packer I'm gure." Rxclusion of ‘products other than meat from “packer refrigerator cars would result in increased living costs, 3. B. Heinemann, secretary of the National Livestock Exchange, told the committ#e, He declared that fuil- ure of wholepale grocers to get as Prompt a service from the railroads as the packers was due to the fact that the grocers bad not properly ap- proached the problem, Criticising President Wilson's “ef- forts to establish some sort of con- nection between the present high cost of living and the League of Nations,” Representative Rodenberg, Republi- can, Miinols, declared in the House to-day that amendments to the Food Control Act to punish profiteering woud not be necessary “except for the imactivity and incompetency of the Department of Justice.” “In 1912,” said Mr, Rodenberg, “President Wilson said the high cost of living was because of private un- derstandings, and the causes now he Aopolizing anything, or “robbing any- | ‘Buyers of Army Food at Schools And How Some Got,Pu e TO-DAY’S MAXIMUM FAIR PRICES, BASED ON ‘CASHAND CARRY’ PLAN Se ge to dag gue 22 > Ta Pr a QUOTATIONS FOR AUGUST 21, 1019.

I ‘appeal to the President to forget Article X. and instruct the Attorney General to solve the problem of living costs.” James Blakeslee, assistant postmas- ter general in charge of parcel post} food distribution, to-day presented | the Attorney General with two canta- loupes which he said cost him one ‘and one half cents each f. 0. b, Wash- ington via the parcel post, direct from the farmers who grew them. “I bough: twenty-five cantaloupes for twenty-one cents," said Blakes! “The parcel post postage was one- half cent for each.

Seventeen-yeur-old Bobby, trying for great brilliancy, lost several holes through bis recklessness. Fownes, who was a golfer of national fame ‘before the Atlanta youth was born, saved himself on frequent occasions through superior steadiness and headwork. Both Jones and Fownes had medal scores of 81.
