EuRoPE's COST OF LIVING.

Kansas City Journal: A recent let
ter by William e. Curtis. giving the
most circumstantisl details of the in
creasing cost of living in Europe, is
pertinent to conditions which have
been made the basis for sensational
reversals of political majorities in this
country. II the tariff is the domfnst-
ing reason for the rising prices or all
those things which comprise "the cost
of living" I'm, the United States, what
is the cause of the simultaneous in
crease of the cost of living in Europe?
In Mr. Curtis own words:
Residents of Europe as well as
travellers complain bitterly of the in
creaAe in the cost OF living 1t is quite
as marked and eyen more embarrass-
ing to people OF moderate means than
in the United States. Food and drink
clothing and household goods. rents for
living and business purposes, and ev-
erything else that is needed by the
human family has advanced In value
Chat Is in cost from Is to 100 per
cent during the last twelve or fifteen
years. Today the cost OF the humblest
accommodations Is equal to that OF the

years ago, and there is no economy for

thing else except Jewels In Europe.
You can get as good suit of clothes
and better fit from your home tailor
as from the fashionable establishments
in London and Paris, and the dress
makers and milliners Of Paris and
Vienna charge just as much as those
Of corresponding reputation in Ameri-
ca.
THE same may be said OF railroad
fares While agitators In the United
States are trying to pass laws cutting
them down to 2 cents per mile the
railways Of Europe are raising their
charges almost every year, because of
the advanced cost of fuel for their loco

eminent, this advance cannot be
charged to over capitalization, but is
made absolutely necessary by the in
creased expense Of operation.
Mr. Curtis comedies the extensive
practice of charging lower prices to
European travellers than TO American
tourists, for obvious reasons, but this
is only drop In the bucket compared
with the conditions which universally
prevail and which are bearing down
SO heavily upon the common people,

RACING MOTORCYCLE WAIT SOME
LUCKY PROVERB RIZE CONTESTANT
Beautiful Machine of Latest
Make Is No. I on List
of Gifts.

When automobiles first came into
use the cry was that bicycling would
die out. The ordinary wheel, 1t was
said, could not compete in comfort or
speed with the new invention. Manu-
facturers realized, however, that there
were thousands of bicycle lovers who
would not care for or could not af-
ford an auto, but who would want
something that would compete with 1t
on its own ground. Accordingly the
motorcycle was perfected. and today
has almost as many staunch adherents
as the auto itself.
That a great number of these are
among the thousands of EVENING
STAR readers was recognized when the
great proverb contest, now running in
this paper. was planned. Accordingly
it was decided that a motorcycle
should be among the chief prizes for
the bright ones, who solve the prob
lens.
The seventh prize on the list is, there
fore. a motorcycle. 1t is of the THOR
make, and is valued at Ssoo. Herpett

1t may be truly said Thai there is a

variety than ever, moss and June roses
generally prevailing, and as far as color
effects go, one nay choose any shade of
the rainbow n yet be in highest
vogue. Black is in more popular favor
ever; also, various burnt colors
are well thought of. Aigrets md sprays
are largely employed in the trimmings;
also, many pretty fancy feather effects,
coclades and some wings suggestive of
the "Chantecler' style. And, as in past
seasons, much gold and silver in orna-
still prevails, and rhinestones are
also employed quite effectively to give
added beauty and brilliancy to the
spring chapeau.
