The ruling was handed down in a case involving major cement mariufacturers. The FTC had charged them with using the system to rig prices.

But in most instances, the women ‘had been reared without proper training for occupation.” Dependency Shifted “This creates morbid attitudes of dependency,” Dr. Rotman explained, “and the dependency is shifted from the husbands to the social circle fof which she was once a part.” Actually, he pointed out, the dependency takes the form of a “high-toned begging—much more | vicious and deteriorating than the out-and-out street-begging type.” The story of 71 “ritzy moochers” is told in a commemorative volume of Dr. Rotman’s papers, published by the psychiatric institute and edited by Dr. Agnes A.

Belated ‘Victory Party’ Held by GOP Club

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11 (UP)—The 23d Ward Republican Women’s Club last night held a subdued “victory card paity” which had been planned confidently in October. “We can still celebrate,” said club President Eleanor Albrecht. “We elected a State Representative.”

“Whenever one deals with these women whose psychology is imbued with the ‘I-played-fiddle-for-the-Czar’ attitude, one knows that he has a very difficult

case. They are resistant to psychotherapy,” Dr. Rotman wrote,

He listed in this group the exvoice teachers, concertists, those holding higher secretarial positions, former real estate operators, etc. “One can easily detect them by their overdressing and their tragic dependence upon the drug

Murderers Pin $1000 On Tattooed Victim HARRISBURG, Pa.

Meeting Called On Weight Laws |

dismissed the cases of seven grocers and a coal dealer charged with selling short weight merchandise.

~ No Malicious Intent

Judge Clark found no fault with Mr. Martin's evidence against the merchants but held there was no malicious intent to cheat the public on the part of the merchants. Judge Clark also ruled the affidavit in the case of the coal dealer was not prepared correctly. Mr. Martin charged today that if the affidavit was not prepared correctly it was the fault of the

‘|Marion County prosecutor’s office,

which prepared the document. He said he had told a deputy prosecutor before the case came up he would like to amend the affidavit. Mr. Martin said the deputy told him “as long as I am deputy prosecutor, there will be no amended affidavits.”

Driver ‘Disappeared’

The coal dealer contended the shipment in question was full weight when it left his yard. He charged his driver had disappeared since the charges were filed. The grocers contended the potatoes they sold were sacked and weighed by wholesale houses. They contended dehydration can cause the sacks to be underweight. Judge Clark declared, “These men are reputable businessmen and there certainly doesn’t appear to be any malicious intent on their part to cheat the public.” The meeting tomorrow was called by Mayor Feeney and the Safety Board. Representatives of chain stores, filling stations, coal firms and other establishments which sell by weight will attend.

asserted, “but it lends an important assist to the producer. Profits or losses in livestock farming determine to a large extent the standards of living of farm people in the corn belt today,” he said. Marketing of livestock by farmers through their co-opera-tives is one of the best known means of insuring reasonable profits in livestock farming, he added. Setting the Pattern “Indiana and Ohio farmers are setting the hog marketing pattern for the corn belt,” Mr, Ketner told the delegates. “By developing near-at-home interior co-operative markets and combining their operations with those of terminal co-operatives, they are making possible benefits never before available.” A Farm Bureau clinic dramatizing the problems facing township bureau members was conducted by Hubert Elison of the Farm Bureau organization department. H. C. Fledderjohn Jr., director of Indiana Farm Bureau distribution, spoke on “Our Co-Ops and their Public.”

Slusher, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau Federation, declared that the government's farm price support program was a principal factor in boosting food production 40 per cent during the war and today provides agriculture with security and stability. Commenting on the recent elections, Mrs. Emily Taft Douglas, former Congresswoman from Illinois, said farm groups must choose representatives through a dual standard—from the standpoints of their special interests
