LIMIT IMPORTS
TO INCREASE THE
FREIGHT TONNAGE
Many Articles Barred as Non-
Essential by Govern
ment Order
Washington, March '^3. —Tho first'
list of imports to be prohibited en
trance into this country in an ef
fort to conserve tonnage for prosecu
cutlng the war was made public last
night by the war trade board, un
der authority of President Wilson's
proclamation of February 14, which
j put all imports under license.
By denying permits for the im
| portation of certain metals, food
; stuffs and luxuries which can be ob-
I lained here or can be sacrificed to
j the greater need of putting ships In
| to war business, the board expects to
| add 1,500,000 deadweight tons to
the fleet carrying men and muni
i tions to Europe.
I Last night's list of eighty-two ar
j tides, or classes of articles, consti-
I tutes only those least essential con-
I cerning which there was little ar
! gtiment. Lists to follow will touch
j various interests more closely and
j will not be issued until after consul
tation with the trades affected, so
i that there will be a minimum of dis
| organization and loss. The experi
j once of the allies has been utilized in
| devising the system of restrictions.

SUGGESTS PLAN
TO LOWER HIGH
. COST OF LIVING
Would Have Trademarks
Abandoned During Dura
tion of the War
That trade-marketl goods be elim
inated during- the present wai is tlie
suggestion made by the local gro
cers' committee, which is doing all
in its power to bring lower prices
and to reduce the high cost of liv
ing. A statement issued to-day by
the committee follows:
The problem of lower prices on
l'ood seems as far from a solution as
ever.
A meeting of grocers in Technical
High School auditorium was ad
dressed on Tuesday night by William
Smedley, secretary of tho Retail
Merchants Association of Pennsyl
vania, who is an authority on all
that pertains to the retail grocery
business, and he cautions the gro
cers to be careful in experimenting
with the "cash and carry" plan, and
said the saving by that plan was
small and that some had failed be
cause they calculated too largo a
saving in the no-delivery plan. He
condemned the policy of selling
some articles at a loss to draw trade
and making up on others.
It is unfortunate to publish cost
and selling prices that afford eo
small a margin as to result in actual
loss to grocers if followed. It makes
trouble all around. The consumer is
dissatisfied because he cannot buy
on that basis and it antagonizes tho
grocer because he cannot sell on
that basis.
The cost to a grocer for conduct
ing his business economically is ap
proximately 17 per cent of his" total
sales. Beans bought at 15% cents
and sold at 17 cents, as advocated
in "fair prices," pays tho grocer a
profit of less than 9 per cent, when
it costs him 17 per cent, to do bus
iness, hence he sustains a loss of 8
per cent. On flour "fair prices" he
would make 5 per cent, at a cost
of 17 per cent., and thus have a net
loss of 12 per cent. To advocate
such utter impossibilities antag
onizes those who could give the best
co-operation.
A ready and not difficult solution
of this problem can be found by be
ginning with the manufacturer and
in such effort the food administra
tion would see every grocer fall in
•line. For instance, let the Russell
and Miller Milling Company sell
their flour or a large portion of it
under the name of Liberty Flour in
stead of Occident, then we could
get the same grade of flour for a
dollar per barrel less, for that is
what it costs to maintain electric
signs of extravagant proportions, full
page advertisements in high-priced
magazines, etc. In that way a dollar
per barrel can. be saved and the
roc.er still live— : which ho cannot
do on prices as now advocated.
All tho popular brands of flour,
except those of ldlal distribution
only, could be supplied at 50 cents
to a dollar per barrel less by saving
the cost of advertising. Let break
fast foods be sold at a milling profit
to the manufacturers for the dura
tion of the war. In all breakfast
foods there is an enormous profit;
the material for the contents of the
package costs less than half the
price charged the wholesaler.
A manufacturer selling an article
under a trade mark name which no
competitor can use has a monopoly
and he uses it for all it is worth,
and his policy is to give as little as
possible in goods, get as much as
possible for them and spend a lot
of money advertising to keep the
name popular.
There are numerous arUcles in the
grocery line where large savings can
be had by applying the foregoing
method.
The patent laws of some foreign
i-ountrics do not allow this trade
mark monopoly in business.
Grocers are now making a smaller
percentage of profit than th'ey ever
made within their own recollection.

have suggested
using an abandoned building at the
poor farm.
The building can be remodeled at
slight cost, it has been pointed out,
and will furnish an adequate place
for a morgue at small expense, re
lieving the commissioners of the
necessity of locating a site and erect
ing a structure.
In addition to recommending the
maintaining of a morgue the March
grand jury reported to the Court
that the inmates of the county alms
house are well cared for and con
tented: have plenty to eat and are
treated well. The premises are in
good condition, the report continues.
It is suggested the office should be
repapered. Other repair work is be
ing done for which the poor board is
commended.
A similar report is made about the
visit to the county prison where
some necessary repairs are being
completed.
Eighty-seven bills were presented
to the grand jury, of which seventy
two true bills werej-et arned anl fif
teen were ignored.
President Judge George Kunkel
was pleased with the report of the
grand jury In connection with con
ditions at the county almshouse. In
speaking of the section of the report
in which the Directors of the Poor
and the officials at the almshouse are
commended, Judge Kunkel said it is
flttjng that the inmates who are in
such an unfortunate position should
receive the best of care and atten
tion. He also remarked that it was
a gratification both to the Coirt and
the pitblic to know that the county
officials in charge of the poor farm
were so efficient and considerable of
the inmates.

By Associated Press
New York, March 23—Stocks were
nervous and unsettled throughout
to-day'e short session, investment
rails and industrials breaking 1 to
3 points on the further attack of
the Teuton armies in France. The
decline included all the war issues
and was accomplished by heavy of
ferings which probably represented
the combination of liquidation and
short selling. Occasional support
brought slight rallies, but final prices
in important issues were mainly at
lowest levels.
The losing was weak. Sales ap
proximated 500,000 shares.
Liberty 3%s sold 98.28 and 98.30;

I of a German raider, fitted out at a
I Mexican port, manned by Germans

I nounced last night by Secretary of
I the Navy Daniels. Capture of the

retary Daniels follows;
"The Navy Department is advised
that a small American vessel, the
Alexander Agassiz, which sailed from
; a west Mexican port, wliero it had
t been fitted out under circumstances
which led the naval authorities to
believe that it might be used as an
| enemy raider, nas been seized at sea
and taken to a Pacific port for in
vestigation.
"There were found aboard several
Germans, German flags, rifles and
pistols.
"When seized it had no ship's pa
pers and several articles were seen to
be thrown overboard.
"The Agassiz is a gas-propelled
boat, about sixty feet long, and so
far as present information indicated
carried no mounted guns."
