- .v FAIR PRICE UST FOR MEAT DEALERS jro0d Administration Committee 3Iakes Report. ' ' Case of Alleged Profiteering la ! l,j inspector 31. V. Nash of lood Administration. A fflir price rice list for meat dealers was given out yesiejuay uy j. v,. iiqddb, jr chairman of the committee of the committee appointed by the food ad ministration to compile a list of prices conSitiored fair to dealers and con sumer? alike. It covers the various cuts of beef, pork, veal and lamb and is given belouf. Following the meeting held in the chamber of commerce Wednesday ev ening by the food officials end meat dealers, at which it was declared that (fie local markets had not profiteered, it was stated yesterday by M. W. N'asli. district inspector, that one case of alleged profiteering had come to his notice and was being- investigated. He declined to make public the name of the dealer at this time. The tair price list follows, with a statement from the committee: "The accompanying schedule repre sents a tabulation of tne findings of an investigation made by the food admin istration on the matter of prices of meat in Wilmington. The retail prices given are maxi mum prices to be charged on this market, retail, charge or delivery sales, for the better grades of meats usualiy sold here. There Is also given a wholesale price for the various parts of the carcass and the difference be ' i 3 - - T Y - 1 1 . tween the wholesale price and the re tail price corresponding to a given cut of meat by this schedule is to be used as a suitable margin to be added to the changed wholesale price as the whole sale market fluctuates. It should be noted that these prices ire for the better grades of beef sold locally and attention is called to the fact that there has been sold on the market a somewhat .cheaper grade known as native beef, although dis tributed by packers. This smaller price is accounted for by the fact that the type and class of animal slaugh tered is not a high grade type and sells wholesale at about 5o less than the prices here given. This refers to both wholesale and retail prices. It will be noticed that this maintains the same margin of profit or mark up over cost as in case of the better grade of beef and this margin or mark up or profit will be considered, until further notice, to be the measure of Increase over invoice that the meat dealers may charge to their customers. "For instance, from the trimmed round as sold by the packer, there will be cut rump roast, round steak, hamburger, shank, and clear soup meat. The margins are: on rump roast, 13c above cost; round steak, 18c; hamburger, 13c; on shank, 12c less than cost; clear soup meat 8c above cost. The native meats spoken of will be on sale by some of the dealers at 5c per pound less than the prices men tioned for a given cut of the better grade?. "Attention should be called, to the iact mat wnereas porternouse, sirloin ind rounu steaks are .45 and 40 cents per pound, just as substantial and healthful and nourishing steak can be bought from shoulder cuts at 30c per pound. Very little consideration is necessary to see that much of th price of meat can be determined by the buy ing habits of the public. The meat Jealer gets better prices from the wholesaler if he buys the whole car rass and if a sale were found for every part of the carcass he buld sell on a much closer margin than if the "de mand 0f his customers specifies only three or fovr selected cuts. Most of the meat dealers in "Wilmington have had and are having difficulty In dis posing of much of the desirable part of beef because consumers will not use enough of the less choice cuts. "The meat dealers are expected to five 'cash and carry', purchasers a dis count of 5 per cent in the same man ner as do the grocers." 7 air Price List.

Williams yes terday receiveda telegram from Lieu tenant Gilman. United States judge advocategeneral court martial, Camp Greene, stating that he will be here tomorrow for an investigation to get facts concerning George Goss, a negro arrested here November 16 on a charge' of highway robbery, and later deliv ered to the military authorities to" be tried as a reserter from the army. , In order that he may lose no more time than absolutely necessary, Lieu tenant Gilman requested the chief to have members of the family ready for the investigation and in the meantime also gather any evidence he can con cerning the case against Goss. One the night of November 16, It is alleged, Goss and another negro held up J. H.- Jackson, colored, near th corner of Fourth and Taylor streets, between 8 and 9 o'clock. In their haste the alleged highwaymen failed to find the only money, 30 cents, that Jackson had in his pocket. The mat ter was leported to police headquarters and several officers were sent to ar rest the men. Goss was located carry in the night but he succeeded in mak ing his escape after opening fire on the officers with a revolver, but was apprehended later in the night. At tne time or tne arrest uoss was wearing part of a soldier's uniform, the other part being found at the home of his sister where he had, been stopping. This led to the belief that the man was a deserter and the mili tary authorities were notified and Goss sent for and taken to Camp Green. 1 ' WHEN KISSING IS TIRESOME. Sersrt. Turrentine Grew Weary Before "Accommodating" French Ladies. More glials to kiss than 4ie could pos sibly "accommodate" in a day s time was the predicament Sergt. John W. Turrentine, 6on of John R. Turrentine, Jr., of this city, who is with the American forces in France, found him self, in when he attempted to pass through Paris November 11, when the people were celebrating the signing of the armistice. News of the young man's experience was contained in a letter received Wednesday by his sister, Miss straddle Turrentine. Sergeant -Turrentine was stationed at Amiens but was en route further south when his journey was ended by the "paint and powder bar rage." "There were not just a few," the sergeant writes, "but thousands of them and they all had to be kiss ed on both cheeks." Sergeant Tur rentine didn't mean to intimate in the least that he objected to a little of this kind of 'business but acknowledg ed that his task had lost some of Its charns before he had done with the thousand or more. Sereeant Turrentine is witn tne 105th engineers, 30th division, and as the engineers are always equal to any emergency from pontooning the Marne to fighting. at Cambrai, it is quite nat urally supposed that this Paris affair was handled in a manner thoroughly creditable to the 105th.

King of Philadelphia Visits rhif SAhmihben'a Headquarters Frank M. King, of Philadelphia, wlho is in the city for the holidays, a guest rf J A. Snrinsrer, in renewing nis ac quaintanceship with the city where he formerly lived, finds himself the vic time of a joke played upon him by his own memory. Mr. King came back "Home" to spend the happy Yuletide season and cele brate his 73rd birthday, which he did last Monday. The joke came about when he visited Are department head quarters on Fourth s'treet. Mr. King in the old volunteer days was a valiant fire-fighter and he aecmea ne wouia pay "the boys" a call and see If things looked rs they used to. He found thle type of apparatus used by the present paid firemen quite different from that of 35 years ago. He found something else that was interesting. Around n the walls were pictures of '83 and some f o bmu earlier date. Standing gas- ing upon one of them he was calling the names of the men whom he re membered. The face of. one seemed vaguely familiar but he was .unable to connect the face with the name of any of the men. After racking his brain for several minutes it finally dawned upon him that the photograph he was gazing upon wasnone other than his own. ' While he can't, even yet, exactly un derstand why hedid it. Mr King left Wilmington 35 years ago, and after spending two or three years In a southern city went to Philadelphia and has resided there sin.ee, but has al ways kept Wilmington fresh in his memory and b-9 visited "here quite fre quently to renew old friendships, and to make new acquaintances.

Mrs. Burnett Smith Declares That Am erica was Spared Sufferings' of War That She Might he Able to Restore Europe. A warm reception -Was given Mrs. Burnett Smith, the celebrated English writer and lecturer who spoke at the Academy of Music last night. "Mrs. Smith has come to America under the direction of the British ministry of food, sent, as she stated, at the per sonal request of Herbert Hoover, to whom she paia a warm tribute by des cribing him as one of America's ablest and most distinguished men. Mrs. Smith stated that she came to bring a message' of gratitude from Great Britain to the American people, wno, sne declared, came to the rescue of the British people when food ' and supplies were most needed. The morale of a nation depends upon its store of food and .supplies, Mrs. Smith added. We were so .grateful to you- that we taught our children to eay this grace at the titble: 'Thank God, the British navy and Mr. Hoover for this good din ner.' " . "We are still strictly Rationed,"' Mrs. Smith continued. "We are observing meatless days, our butter and bread is allowanced, and we are continuing to conserve food until conditions have been established on a firm economic basis. The British people have learn ed not how much they need, but how little they can get oh with." Mrs. Smith described the destruction of her home in England during a Zeppelin raid n the early part of the war. She and "her family only escap ed with their lives through having gone lnt othe garden to watch the at tack upon the city. When they re turned to the house, they found it a mass of ruins from the explosion of a hjomb hurled from the night-marauders. "The spirit of the British people is fine, courageous. Your nation came with its glorious army of young men, arriving when you were most needed. If you had not come, we would prob ably have fought through many more weary years, but I believe if we had had to fight until the crack of doom, we would have done it rather than surrender."
