the Big- Bisters, an organization of Jew
ish women, that tho prices fixed by 111"
office offered produco and grocery deal
ers a chance to raise prices, and showed
io reason for decreasing prices, today
hotly declared the charge to be wltbojit
foundation.
"There, may bo noine dealer who pell
t prices low or than tliovo fixed by this
ofllco," ho eald. "There Ih no doubt,
however, that It Ih dono merely to In
duco customers to conic Into their store,
made possible because, they haV made
a. specialty In that one commodity. It
items to mo thnt such n. proceeding
should causo no complaint on tho part
f tho public; rather they should seize
It as an opportunity."
Still angry nt what he said was a
toollsh" charge, ho Iseued an answering
Statement offering to lwr representa
thtss of his olllce meet a committee of
tho womon, to rerele their buggestlons
nd complaints. Tho statement follows4
TVo would bo ory glad to meet a
tBommlttoo of theso women at nny time
to receive their suggestions and com

Tho protest of tho Hlg Sister", which
waa forwarded to tho fcod administra

In part, as follows:
"You begged the people to stop buying
veal cutlet and lamb : but no measures
were taken to precnt tho fish "gougers
from Increasing the price of fish to the
extent that you can feed a family
cheaper today on eal cutlet than ou
can on anything but the .ery cheapest
kinds of flsli, and ery often not even
on that.
"Tho prices quoted on jour list was
a chanco for produco and grocery men
to ralso prices. It showed no reason for
decreasing prices Tliu price on that
list was in "o way cheaper than what
was asked In tho usual stores, and theso
stores wcro ulrcadv charging all the

"The fact that tho people selling the
food to tho consumer are dictating the

is now in your possession to get a clear
Idea of the subject, Is proved by tho fact
" at tho publishing of Philadelphia prices

TnUNTON', Dec. ."..
Unusual activity In manufaeturlni;
nnd Industrial lines Incident to Mar con
ditions Is reflected hy the falling off In
tho number of applicants for certain
kinds of civil service positions In New
Jersey, the fitate Civil Service Commis
sion today Informed Governor Kdjje In
Its tenth annual report. In n Urea
number of the least Important nnd least
desirable positions, It Is stated, It has
been necessary to follow quallfjInB ex
aminations owlns to the lack of candi
dates willing to enter the service at
low pay. Tho attendance has nlao been
smaller than In former years at the ex
aminations for the more Important posi
tions. Despite periodic attacks on the Integ
rity of the civil service svstem and dis
satisfaction with the method of Its ad
ministration, the commission sa.vs tho
system lias become a recognized mid
effectlvo part of the machinery for carrv
ing on the business of the State. Since
thn beginning of Its work ten venrB
ago, the commission savs, the referen
dum principle for the adoption of the
civil service act has been applied and
successfully carried out In six tf tho
most populous counties and live of the
largest cities In tho Stnte. together with
threo other smaller municipalities, and
that tho Initial step In the Instituting
of this reform has Invariably been taken
by a group of progressive and unselllMi
citizens for the purpose of preventing
tho further exploitation of locat gov
ernments by selfish Interests; for the
protection of capable omplojes In their
tenuro of service, and for the Insuring
of better qualified and more efficient
public servants.
The report adds that a standardization
has been worked out with the aid t
an expert, by which civil service em-
nloves will have eoual nay for enual
detles and all inequalities will bo film

wants to keep on being- one, nt lewt for
a while. Once n man gets Into the Sen
ate his blood becomes Infused with a
spirit that Is aptly expressed by par
aphrasing a well-known saying thus!
Let him make tho laws of a nation, I
care not who writes his songs.
Well, Senator Sauubury wants to keep
on helping make tho laws of this nation
at least for n while. The Senator has
been mentioned hy some of his friends
as a presidential possibility. Whether
or not he thinks of himself a one no
body knows The Senator Is not being
Interviewed these days on the subject
of political ambitions, cither his own or
other people's. Howeer, everybody
knows that while the soldiers stng loud
and rouslngly a popular war song there
among the Senators a great silent
chorus, "Where do we go from here?"
So, een If Senator Wlllard Saulsbiirv
does not care to bo lnterl"wed at this
time, It Is reasonable to presume that
he Is wondering where he will go from
tho Senate If he Is renominated and
re-elected he will loom moie largely a"
a presidential possibility, If he loses
his toga next year he will be losing his
chance for the presidency at the same
tlm.
Now, the Senator will have a fight
for renomlnatlon In his hnnds next jear.
The fight really Is on already. There
i i v '.'.: : j' ,-;
ate no avowed candidate against V
but oulte a. . few men are "Hootcen 'of?
and everybody knows that when tlm
Democratic, convention meets at Dover
next autumn to make nominations there
will be a political battle royal that wilt
bo nt least as fierce as any In the his
tory of the Slate.
There nre six men In Delaware who
are frequently mentioned as opponents
of Saulsbury for the renatorshlp. As
time passes some of these may posl
thely refuse to seek the nomination! all
of them may Reek It. Nobody knows
whether others will get Into the fight.
There may be a dark horse and seeral
bays and sorrels
The sli outstatidlrs possibilities are!
In Kent County
Henry Itldgley, the blind lawj.er of
Dover.
L Irlng Handy, of Smyrni, a silver
tongued lawyer, with ofllces In Wil
mington. In Sussex County
Andrew J Lynch, lawjer.
James M. Tunnell, lawjer and some
thing of a political leader In the county.
In New Castlo County
Andrew C. Oray, Wilmington lawyer,

I HE TREND has been toward gifts of this kind for sev
eral years now useful, sensible, lasting gifts that are
real remembrances of the donor because they are of
real service to the recipient. Undoubtedly the more
serious sentiments of a war-time Christmas will definitely estab
lish this worthy custom and, though as much, and perhaps more
money will be spent this Yuletide as in former years, the indica
tions are that far less will be thrown away. Thus the Van
Sciver Store assumes its logical place as the Greatest of All
Gift Shops, for here in surpassing abundance and variety
are the useful and beautiful things that go to make the home
more charming and comfortable, and the home;lovers truly
happy. Come in, look them over and sec what pleasing gifts
