the Interstate commerce commission

Concession to the Poles

ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.-The
abandonment of the compulsory use
of Russian and imparting instruction
in Polish in the schools of Poland, one
of the main features of the govern
ment's Polish policy of the last thirty
years, was recommended at a special
meeting OF the committee of ministers
yesterday. A large majority, headed
by President White, favored a discon-
tinuance of the attempt to Russify Po-
land by this method and asked the
minister of education, NJ. Glasoff, to
submit a plan whereby instruction may
be conducted in Polish and the native
language be made one OF the principal
subjects of study instead of. as at pres
ent, requiring Polish. If taught at all.
to be studied from Russian text books.
1t was pointed out that this measure
accentuated instead of healing the
breach between the two nationalities.
Another meeting of the ministers held
at the office of Minister of Agriculture
Yermoloff, under whose supervision are
the higher educational institutions, de-
eided that Ii was inadvisable to at
tempt TO resume work at the UNIVERSE
ties and other closed places OF instruc-
ton until Sept. IA. The announcement
of the ministers attitude was received
at Warsaw with the liveliest satisfac-
ton. The school strike there win prob
ably be speedily ended.

Linen Of every price and weight is
being more extensively used this spring
than ever-before. for fully two-thirds OF
the summer frocks now ordered are
made of IL.
That of medium weight is most used
for separate skirts, while heavy quail
ties are used for suits and sheer hand
kerchief linen for dresses. Embroidery
is seen on all of these linens. but that
worked on the very fine handkerchief
variety is the most beautiful, as 1t is
necessarily fine and dainty.
A rather unusual gown Of this latter
linen is illustrated. The skirt Is made
with plain front breadth and the sides
and back are very full and gathered at
the top. Just below the hips three
small tucks are run in. and at about
knee depth a wide band of material is
embroidered in a flower design of pad
.ded work with the back ground fiecked
with eyelet hole embroidery. and at the
top and bottom of this band are run
three narrow tucks.
Both the bodice and sleeves are en-
broidered and tucked to correspond to
the skirt. The former is made with
surplice fronts that are open over a
chemisette of yalenciennes lace and

NOW this comparison shows conclu-
sively that the cost of transportation
has no important bearing upon the
actual selling price of commodities"
How Arrived At
BY what system is this record of
prices obtained?"
Monthly fluctuations OF fluctuations
of all commodities are made as well
as OF freight rates In order to OBJ
tain a single figure representing the
average cost a tabulation of these hum
dreds OF articles was made represent
ing the average cost at wholesale of q
years supply for one person.
Were IL possible to secure retail
prices. the tabulation would not only
have a greater scientific interest, but
one OF more value to the casual read
er. But unfortunately the wide varia-
lions, even in different parts of the
same town on the same day make this
practically impossible. So we have
taken the readily ascertained and prac-
tically uniform wholesale prices at
points of the greatest importance as a
basis to work from.
With these tabulations secured, II
became necessary to add together these
hundreds of articles. AS pounds
quarts and yards have no common de-
nominator, each article had to be treat
ed separately and its price at a given
date, multiplied by it's annual per cap
tia consumption, which is a constant
and unvarying factor, and the index
number thus obtained. For greater ac-
curacy third decimal is added.
There seems to have been some
confusion caused by the fact that the
per capita consumption. used to null
tiply each of the many hundred COM
modify quotations. does not change.
But ii should be seen at a glance that
there would be no accurate record of
the course of prices if the ratio of con-
sumption changed.

FREIGHT RATES AND

Editor of Dun's Review Denies
That They Are Intimately
Related

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK. March 23.-"The as
sertion Is persistently made" said n. C.
Watson, editor Of Dun.s Review and q
recognized authority on the cost Of liv-
Ing. that there IL an intimate relation
between railway freight rates and the
price OF commodities of everyday life.
Nothing can be more erroneous, In my
opion, and that the conclusion is incor-
rect can be readily proved. Take the
period from 1897 to 1903, covering six
years OF unprecedented prosperity for
the country. During that period the
cost OF living increased. owing to the
rise in prices of commodities, 37.2 per
cent. Now. If the theory be true we
should at least find a corresponding in
crease In the freight rates during that
period. On the contrary. the statis-
tics show that there was actually q
decrease In freight rates per ton per
mile of "A per cent. And 1t is note
worthy that this was practically the
only item entering into the cost of liv-
ing that did show a decrease in that
period. ] can better illustrate this,
perhaps, by q table of statistics Of the

ties based on the records compiled by
