WOMEN WANT OXE
HALF OEM PIECES
Cleveland, June 7—Clubwomen
are behind a statewide movement,
which may become national, having
<u its object insistence that the
.1,1 Yeranu-nt coin ball cent pieces.
Mrs. Annie L. Motts, chelrman of
li e committee on .household econ
omics ol the Women's club, and
one of thee leading agitators of
the idea, asserts that consumers
get the worst of it in buying small
quantities of any commodity that.re
calls. for a sum like twenty-five
cents, because, if they buy half. a
pound of buttetr at 25 cents, they
are always charged 13 cents for.it.
Mis. Motts Bays these extra
half cent# which consumers are
forced to pay amounts up to con
siderable suras in the course .of a
year. Coining of half cent pieces
*ould eliminate the evil, she be
lieve*.
