Site Illinois result Is the direct con snjurnro of the Michigan result. I'ntll Michigan had defeated Wood. Thomp son vwas on the fence between Wood and iliOTrflrn, and there was no notion of bringing Johnson Into the fljlit by writ ing In his name. Had Wood won Michigan decisively, Thompson would probably have got on the Wood bund wagon and Wood would probably hnve carried Illinois, for it Is to be observed that Lowden even after the Michigan setback to Wood was nble to hold to himself only about GO per cent ot the Illinois vote. May Help Johnson As for the delegates from Illinois. Lowden apparently loses between fifteen and twenty. These antl-liowden dele gates arc primarily Thompson dele gate; that Is to say, they are band wagon delegates. They will try to pick the winner nt Chicago a little before the regular Illinois machine crowd. The Inclination of the Thompson vote will probably be for Johnson. If the Calif o'rnlan goes on winning states and making strong showings in states which he does not get. the Thompson dele ' gates from Illinois will be for him, If Wood looks like the winner when the people get through voting in Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Indiana, it is not Improbable that Thompson will go (6 Wood. Ho has the excuse that Wood carried Chicago. Governor Lowden Is damaged irrepar ably. He has lost primary after primary, and finally gets a bare majority of his own stato where he had tho machine support everywhere except In Chicago and newspaper support everywhere. He Is a candidate for about two ballots Itt the natloual convention. So far as General Wood Is concerned, he made in Illinois a good enough show lng,.lf lie had not been badly defeated in , .Mlcingitn null it lie Kiioiuu mil uc de feated In Nebraska, with It is uitllkel).

A neg ative result in polities where the baud 1 wnK'm sentiment mles Is not a fortunate result. The Illinois icsult indlcutcs thai Wood will milk- tietible for Harding In Ohio If he Is nut stopped there by John son. A defeat of Wood by Johnson 111 Nebia'ka and the entrance of Johnson lit the Ohio contest will probably dam age Wood's chances in Ohio. The veasons for thinking that Wood will. If loft to hlmsilf, destroy Harding lit Ohio ore these: In a three-cornered contest In Illi nois, Wood got one -third of thcvotc. In Ohio Wood is admittedly much shonger than In Illinois and the Hard Inn machine is not ns strong as the , I.nwd'ii machine On the face of it, 'it louks as If Wood would split Ohio with Harding. Hut a defeat of Wood b Johnson In Nebraska will itueet Wood's chances adversely In Ohio and, furthermore, the 'sweet of the write In movement for Ts.l..,ii it, IIHnnta will iinrnurnip the JoluiMm people to entet Ohio; Johusou can enter the Ohio contest with posters.

Jolin.son Develops Strength Johnson Is coming forward as rap idly now us Wood was n few weeks ago. He Is developing large popular support. The band wagon movement Is toward him. If It were not for the incurable opposition of the old-lino Republicans and the business interests to him his nomination nt Chicago would now be more likely than Wood's. It will take overwhelming victories for Johnson in Nebraska, New Jersey and Indlnnu to put him In the position where It will be difficult for thn Old Guard to refuse him the nomination, LOIVDEN'S PLURALITY IN ILLINOIS 64,574 Chicago, April 1 1.

WOULD CUT FOOD DISTRIBUTION COST Federal Trade Comrnlsslon Rec ommends Improvod Marketing Facilities to Lower H. C. L. MANY INCOMES INADEQUATE By Hie Associated Press Washington, Atirll 14. Declaring that the costs of food distribution are too great, thn Federal Trade Commis sion today recommended Improving mar keting facilities and processes at the grcot consuming, centers ns n long step toward lowering the high cost of living. "The movement of food should be made most direct from field to factory," the commission declared in a report on wholesale marketing of food, one ot the series In the food-price Investigation or dered bv tho President. Elimination of unnecessary costs and tosspN in food distribution, the report added, would not only "act ns a coun ter-agent In checking disparity In food prices and money Incomes, but would strengthen tho nation's position in Its competition for. world trade." The report assert! that the rapid rise In food prlceM in recent years la not so significant ns ''that the money Incomes of large numbers have fallen far short of a proportional Increuse." "The weekly wage of union -organized labor in 1018 bought but 77 per cent, according to the Department of Labor, aa much food os In 1013,". tho report continues. "The larger number of serv ice incomra do not fall within this or ganlxed group and arc much slower to respond to the pressure of n higher cost of living, Moreover, theso incomes are for tho same reason usually less in amount. It follows that for very large numbers of people receiving relatively small Incomes a week's wage In 1018 was purchasing much less than 77 per cent ot the food It bought In 11)111. "Food absorbs .13,2 per cent of the average American household's Income. It. therefore, constitutes no inconsider able pnrt of the wage and salary cost In all production. Of two communities whose products enter the same markets otherwise equally that one which sup plies its working people with food at a lower community cost either will pay Its working people a higher real wage or will have n market ndvuntngn In un derselling the other through lower pro duction costs. Both results may In homo, measure follow. "A wise governmental policy 'toward the, food Industries may lower produc tion ami distribution costs, together with tho final sales price, without propor tionally Increasing governmental costs, thus reducing tho national cost of food."

For it is well known that, in Paige cars, beauty and efficiency go hand in hand. The same skill in car building which is responsible for making the Glenbrook a vehicle of exceptional grace is .likewise responsible for making it an exceptional car from the mechanical standpoint. In body, power plant and chassis, it is distinctly a Paige product setting standards of comfort, economy and dependability such as have never before been present in a car of moderate price. Although it has been before the public no more than four months, it is des tined, we believe, to revolutionize the Light Six field. Its new six-cylinder motor designed and built in our own shops is a feature which, in itself, entitles the new Paige Glenbrook to a place at the head of America's finest five-passenger motor cars. When you see this latest Paige model and ride in it, you will agree with us, we believe, that, from a mechanical, as well as an artistic point of view, there is no finer five-passenger car on the market today. That this is now quite the general opinion among motorists is indicated by the number who have already made arrangements for Spring deliveries.
