Ceiling Prices Set On Luggage
Maryland OPA fixed ceiling prices on luggage to take effect December 1 and revised low priced women’s garment ceilings to aid retailers facing supply cuts due to war conditions. Luggage may be sold at 1.82 times producer cost or 1.54 times the jobber price when producer cost is unavailable. The revision allows stores to price skirts, coats, and athletic wear to restore small profits, with some prior high-price ceilings unchanged. Also notes county Pomona Grange events and the death of Judge Bernard B. Young in Cumberland.

Gold Riches and Decline Among Early Hollywood Stars
Hollywood, Nov. 27 Charles Ray, once as wealthy as Chaplin, died penniless after independent production failed his fortune.
