AMUSEMENTS.
Hero worship exists, and will forever among mankind,
but there are times When virtue ceases to be a joke and
right here it is. A fellow as brave as brass knobs, simply
because he knew no feaK, yet he shied at "this Hero Stuff"
and his acts of dodging the worshipers (nuts as he thought)
makes one grand uproarious comedy drama.

RETAIL STORES
U. S. PLAN T0
LOWER H.C.L
Government to Continue Pur
chasing Necessities That
Public May Buy.
Washington, Aug. 26. Further
steps to bring- down soaring prices
were taken today by the government
th War dpartment announcing plans
for opening retail stores in 14 zone
centers and some other large cities
through which surplus household
commodities and clothing will be
made available to consumers
throughout the country.
Meantime congressional eommit
tes continued consideration of legis
lation designed to reduce the high
cost of living. This included amend
ments to the -food control act to
punish profiteering and hoarding;
bills to regulate cold storag, and ap
propriations for the federal trade
commission to investigate stocks
and give the information to the pub
lic. Through the retail stores to be
opened by the War department, the
army's large surplus stocks of
socks, underwear, shirts, raincoats,
blankets, gloves, tobacco, soap and
other household commodities will
be sold. Consumers in the large
cities where the stores will be oper
ated will be able to purchase over
the counter, but the stocks also will
be made available to persons in
other communities through the par
cel post.
Price lists are being prepared and
these will be furnished to all post
offices for the convenience of the
public. While no announcement
has yet been made, it is expected
that the -prices, like those on the
foodstuffs now being disposed of,
will be considerably below the pre
vailing market.

Not Been Notified of Action

no official notification from Wash
ington that one of the 14 federal

Hofmann, in charge of the dis
distribution of army foodstuffs, it
was stated yesterday that the mat
ter of establishing a store here had
been under consideration 'for some
time, but that nothing had been
done officially.

PLEDGES AID OF
FEDERATION TO
STRIKING ACTORS
Gompers Urges "Fight to Fin

He Says.
New York, Aug. 26. Samuel
Gompers tonight pledged "every
service and aid" of the American
Federation of Labor to the Actors'
Equity association "until there
comes an honorable and justifiable
end" to the actors' strike.
He appeared unexpectedly at a
meeting of 2,000 members of the
association and delivered his prom
ise of unstinted assistance in per
son from the speakers' platform,
urging a "fight to the finish." He
was given an enthusiastic ovation.
"The time has come when kaiser
ism and autocracy, commemal or
industrial, has passed away, he de
clared. "This situation in which
you stand today is similar in char
acter to that of the German peo
pie. I hold that the companjr-of
men which has not learned that au
tocracy is a thing of the pas., that
it has gone by the board, has not
learned the lesson of the war.
"The future depends not upon the
managers, but upon you. Many a
good cause has gone a-glimmering
because of the failure of the men
and women to maintain the spirit
of the cause. If you now, and for
whatever length of time it may last,
make up your minds to stick, noth
ing in this world can prevent your
success."
