The buying of foodstuffs by weight
is being agitated as plan to affect
the cost-of-living problem in favor of
the housewife and enable her to come
nearer getting the worth Of her money.
II It will do either, or both. 1t should
be adopted without delay. providing
It entails no incidental hardship that
would Offset its benefits. But would
such plan produce these results?
Theoretically. one is inclined to an
swer yes, for 1t does seem that one
would be paying for what he got by
buying by weight and not measure, or
article. says the Omaha Bee. Yet In
places where the plan has been In
vogue has it accomplished this? Cali.
fornia has always bought by weight
even potatoes, frult-nearly every,
thing In the edible line-and yet the
people OF California have been caught
by the high-cost-of-living wave along
with the rest Of us. In Cuba, 1t Is
said, the plan works with good results,
1t being applied even more thoroughly
there than in California Eggs are
bought by the pound in Cuba and the
American advocates of the plan pro-
pose that we buy eggs the same way.

AUTOMOBILE ExrRAvAoANcE.

Both the automobile and It's owner
are coming In for very serious preach.
ments these days. The machine itself
Is held up as the direct cause Of much
unhappiness and suffering. and vast
deal OF ethical denunciation is hurled
at It from many sides. It would seem
that there are only three classes OF
people who are at all justified in rail-
Ing against the machine itself. says
the Washington Post. They are the
man who gets run into, or nearly run
into, by one: the farmer whose horse
is afraid OF 'the pesky thing" and.
most OF all, the man who cannot get
one. Those who are outside OF one OF
these classes really mistake the thing
they condemn. What they mean to
get at is the extravagant, irresponsi'
BILE. spendthrift habits of limited
number OF automobile owner, Of which
the machine is only the outward and
visible sign. They forget that II 1t Is
not an automobile, 1t will surely be
something else. OF the man who can
well afford to own and maintain an
automobile there Is nothing by right
to be said: 1t is wholly his own pri-
vate business. II man mortgage his
house to buy one. that Is entirely with
in bis own right, and If he choose to
own an automobile rather than to have
house. It is not at all clear that he
has committed any breach Of ethics or
morality by the exchange.
