Charge il to the Woman.

That cheerful farce known to the
public as an inquiry into the
causes Of the cost OF living" as.
sumes more amazing proportions day

TO blame for the prohibltive prices
which mock our indigence, and under
no circumstances may the sens
tive feelings of the protectionists be
hurt. Consequently political econo.
mists who are not calm enough to
share the frank indifference of con.
gress offer us strange and artless
solutions of problem which has
grown too formidable for play.
The most original of al these sug
sestions comes from an instructor
in economics in the Wharton School
of Finance, at the University of
Pennsylyaia. who holds that food Is
dear because women buy II, and
women nave no basis OF estimating
the values of what they spend%
Money to man represents so many
hours en- days of labor Money to a
woman stands for no economic ef-
fort. The price of all commodities
is unrcdsonably dear because OF
the "eXtraVagant willingness of wo-
men to pay for them"
II this be true, all tia, is needed
