1.000,000 EGGS THROWN
ON MARKET BY CLUB
WOMEN IN PRICE WAR
CHICAGO, Dec. 20. —One million
storage eggs were offered for sale In 30
different stores in Chicago today by
club women. The eggs were sold at 24
cents per dozen. The sale was an ef
fort of the Chicago Clean Food club, an
organization of society women, to bring
down the price of eggs.
Retailers assert the plan was fostered
by speculators. Speculators say the
sale will show up the retailers as rob
bers. Some retailers have been selling
eggs of the same grade as high as 15
cents per dozen. The women have ig
nored the controversy, but have gone
ahead with the sale.
Pau! Mandeville, an egg exporter,
handled the purchase of eggs for the
women.

$11.75 for Junior Suits That Were $25
• *'■ '
No need to tell the mother of girls that the materials could not be
bought for $11.75. For these are good wool cheviots, serges and faintly
outlined plaids. The styles they have been made into are Norfolks and
variously “fancy” suits—which means they are trimmed with braids, but
tons, folds and the like. Colors are navy, brown, taupe, wine and blacks
Would not your Christmas be the merrier for one of these?
Girls’ $6.00 Skirts at $3.75
Girls’ $7.50 Skirts at $4.75
Those now $3.75 are of a long-wearing navy serge—rather plain tailor
ed styles that girls like to wear with middy blouses.
Those at $4.75 include serges, broadcloths and velvets, very attract
ively fashioned —so much so that you will know at once that the cause of
the reduction is not in the st vie.
