PROBLEM OF ADVANCED PRICES

Apparently there is to be no let-up
in the investigation of the high cost Of
living; and If prices cannot be re-
duced. there will at least b. the sat
~isfaction Of knowing the reason why.
If commodities are now selling at
reasonable prices, it will be a comfort
to be assured Of the fact; and the dis
covery Of such a truth will help in in
augurating a period Of retrenchment
and economy.
The housewives ave associated in
many places, and are adopting the
hard and fast rule OF not buying those
commodities which they believe are
being held at excessive prices. If
eggs cannot be had reasonably, for
example, they al be dispensed with.
And whatever may be said as to the
justification for present prices, it
needs no philosopher to perceive that
an era of lower prices is bound to fol-
low a diminished demand for any
given article.
B. F. Yoakum, who has become an
expert in economic problems, and
whose observations and conclusions
are now being sought by officials in
Washington, appears to have hit upon
one Of the most practical methods Of
reducing the cost of living, so far as
a reduction can be effected.
He has urged the establishment of a
national market bureau, the function
of which would be somewhat compli-
Gated, perhaps, but which would aim
at one highly c~ommendable reform
namely, the reduction in the cost of
bringing the producer and the con-
sumer together.
Mr.. Yoakum a discovered that
only about one-third of the price paid
for food goes to the producer, while
two-thirds Is dissipated among the
numerous middle men who appear to
be thriving while the public is gasp
ing at the incomrrehensible advance
iE prices.
Possibly there is no nope of bring
ing prices down to the level which
prevailed twenty years ago; but-to
repeat-it will be comforting aad
helpful to know the reason why.

For several months a band of
highly efficient auto bandits has
been engaged in the profitable bus
mess of collecting rare coins, Jew
elry and treasury certificates from
the citizens Of Chicago. Each
bandit was obsessed with collec-
tors craze, and allowed nothing to
interfere with the humoring of his
hobby. These twentieth century
buccaneers came and went in tax
les and touring cars; hence their
title. But the Chicago police have
them beat at their own game by
employing benzine broughams in
the chase, and have succeeded in
rounding up most of the dangerous
thugs. The photograph shows
James A. Perry, who has confessed
that he has been relieving citizens
of their cigar and lunch money.
He has given the police a detailed
account Of a score of his more spec
tacular exploits, and has limited at
many other robberies in which he
has played a leading part, but the
precise circumstances of which
have slipped his mind. He had
specialized in cafe, d~elicatessen
store and ice real parlor work,
but on occasion has broken into
private residences. His largest
haul, he states, was something over
$1,000, while his least profitable
venture was holding up Assistant
States Attorney Barnhart-the
swag consisting of a meal ticket
that had been punched so thor
oughly that it resembled Irish lace.
