Onr boys appreciate the Y. M. C A.
and take an interest in clean, healthy
sport and its influence is felt In the
moral and intellectual life of the stu

RVRNEY GOES ON STRIKE
Birurh Won't Pay For Needles Shoes
While Poor Men Are "Stuck."
Washington, D. C, Oct. 24. Ber
nunj M, ItariH-h has gone on strike
against the high cost of clothing and.
as bis way of doing his bit, proposes
to make bis present wardrobe last a
while longer. Notice from his boot
maker that $45 would lie the price of
his winter footgear was tbe last straw.
"It Is years since I bouaht any
ein Mug. I bave a man who doe that
t .ne," said the ex-chalrman of, the
W. i Industries Board, today "lie
knows what rwant..bay' ltrnmt T'pay
kthe bills. The other day be came to
me and said I ought to know that
the shoe-maker was. charging $4S for
uev shoes and the tailor $100 for-a
business suit. I told him I would have
to try and struggle tbough with- what
I have.; , ' '
"It Is not a Question of the $45 or
the $10 with me. It is a question of
reducing tbe cost of things. Prices, are
now high because of under-production ;
there are not enough shoes or cloth
for snlts to go around. Tbe man who
now buys' shoes or clothes he cando
wlthontfl, hi slmplys making conditions
worse and moving np prices on, the
man who has to hate' shoes and who
may not be as fortunate as I am . In
having the money.' I, will not buy any
more until I really must hare them, or
production is back to normal."
