PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFIT-TAKING Speaking of the high prices pre vailing in tlu shoo Industry, Ike New York World says: "There has never been a monopoly In this Industry. It has been among the most compotltlvo of the country's great manufactures. That Is appar ently true today, though symptoms of concerted action may bo detected among the suppliers of shoo materlul. "What we seem to have Instead of a psychological condition, created by the war, which soino manufacturers and Jobbers are tailing the fullest ad vantage of.'whllo with the multitude of retail dealers a rich Held is opened for charging all the trallic will bear." There is little question of the ac curacy of this anulyHls. And the same explanation would hold true of many Industries today. In the case of shoes, thero Is no longer the ex cuse of costly raw material. Hides are plentiful und havo dropped In price, and are expected' to go much lowor. leather-proiliicllon Is thcre foro cheaper. Shoe-production is therefore cheaper. Shoes thorefore ought to be chenpor. Hut shoes still are sold at prices based on the high est prico of hides, und the public lias been encouraged to go up rather than down. Profits all along tho lino wore liberal enough when hidos were Bell ing ut 50 cents a pound. Tiioy are said, by frank loaders of tho leather industry, to bo fnr more liberal now. Tho shoe dealers, however, aro proba'bly no more to blame than the dealers In many other Important coinomdltles. Tho World Is right It's ".psychological." Tho old prin ciple of competition Is no longer de pendable as a price-regulator, not be cause wo are trust-ridden, but be cause nearly ovorybody, In nearly ovory branch of business, has been Imbued with tho notion that It's lime to mako big prollls, and that ho's Justified In making thein, "Everybody's doing It." Therefor1 everybody does it. IN.irSTICU TO "IHtl'l VICTIMS. New York is having a serious time with its "dope" victims. Tho fed eral authorities have been gettng aft er tho Illegitimate trallic in llahlt formfng drugs. As a result of their raids large numbers of dispensers of morphine, heroin and cocaine have heon taken Into custody, and many shady doctors and druggists have been scared out of the business. Tho effectiveness of the crusade has been Increased by tho efforts of tho local authorities to enforce the state drug regulation law. All this Is very good. Hut tho re form has hail some startling results. With the curtailment or the Unfile great numbers of drug addicts, un able to obtain their accustomed "dopo," havo swarmed Into the ol lices or the revenue collector, mar shal and prosecutor, pleading for re lief. The officials face a perplexing ill lemma. The victims nnisl cither have their drug, or they must have the craving for It removed. The drug cannot legally he n-ovidoil. and there Is no provision in tho federal nntl-narcollc law for taking care of the addicts.' The state law, too. falls lo pro vide remedial treatment. Tho locul health department Is doing what It cnn. supplying treatment lo many pa tients lr. the city hospitals and other inunlcipal institutions. Hut It Is un able to cope with the situation. Ex I Special Announcement! MISS E. M. MATTHEWS Special Representative of The Pictorial Review Company of New York Will be at Our Pattern Department Thursday, October 4th This Is hii i'et'l.enl opMr(unlt y to leurn more iilnutt them most popular piitteruH, MISS MAI 11M WS will ho plcofioil to explain why PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS tiro mnro rhle, in ore graceful ami moiv viiuitiiral than any other I Nit lorn.

VI nil J mi.mnrii"."."ii"."i'ii"iiiiiii"ri"ii"i"rii"i -i perts say that there are 200,000 drug addicts in the metropolis. The evil is not confined to New York, nor to the large cities in gen eral. It exists to some extent in near ly every community. The number of men and women enslaved by bablt formlng drugs often through no fault of their own is appallingly large. The moment any honest effort Is made lo restrict the trafllc that Is responsible for their predicament, the victims are left in a precarious and pitiable plight. It should bo universally recogniz ed that no antl-narcotlc legislation Is either effective or Just unluss It adds to drug regulation some provision for taking care of the drug habitues. Thero are well known treatments of proved efficacy to removo the abnor mal craving and give the victims a fresh start In life. It should be mado possible for every sufferer to obtain such treatment in public in stitutions. SINKING 1 HE M I I I I.E I- KLIJWS. Blnce Juno tho U-boat bltuatlon has shown almost continuous improve ment. Tho laat two weekly reports are especially encouraging. They show tho smallest losses aince Ger many bean her campaign of intensi fied ruthlessness. Only 12 ships of more than l.ltOO tons were sunk dur ing the week ending September 12, and only 8 during the week ending September 19. This substantial decrease was ac companied; last week, by a notable Increase in the destruction ot small shipping. Twenty vessels under l.iiOO tons were sunk, as against an average of about three In recent weeks. Hut that fact gives no cause for alarm. Taken along with the conspicuous drop in big ship fatalities, it is really reassuring. The small ships are, in general, unarmed craft, sailing .with out escorts. It is natural, then, to conr-ludo that Germany in finding It harder and harder to deal effective blows against the bulk of allied ship ping, which consists of large ves sels, armed and traveling in fleets convoyed by destroyers. It Is only the little, helpless folk of the sea that the U-boats can overcome. The German public Is now repre sented ns having lost its taste for scrapping to a degree that enables It to Join the rest of tho world In a do Biro for peace. If food should becomo as scarce as a number of experts fear, the ama teur gardener will have a right to consider himself pretty close to the professional class.
