What is your explanation about the
dear cost Of living to people in large
towns and cities?"
Prices are Influenced. of course, by
a reduction in production as compared
with the increase In the number of
consumers The principal cause of
dear living however. is to be found in
our bsrbaric methods of distribution.

President Fallieres is again being sub
jected to criticism on the score of parsi
mony. When a few years ago the King
and Queen Of Norway were guests of the
republic an accident happened at Yer
sailles which might easily have had fatal
consequences for the Queen and Nine
Fallieres.
The postilllon who was riding one OF
the horses drawing the State landau. In
which they sat, took too sharp a turn in
crossing bridge spanning the ornament
al lake near Trianon. and fell with his
mount into the water. Happily the car
riage remained on the bank
II was stated at the time that since VI.
Fallieres' installation the Elvse- stable
was farrned out and that horses and
servants were supplied by q contractor.
Thus the accident was explained on ths
ground of the postillion's inexperience.
NJ. Fallieres was then accused Of farming
out his stables in order to reduce the ex-
penses OF his occupation Of the Elysee.
and a part Of the Paris press denounced
his efforts to economic at the expense
OF the prestige of the republic
Similar attacks are being made now in
connection with the visit OF the Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievftch. who with
his suite has been provided with vehicles
of shabby appearance, poor-looking horses
and coachmen in ill-ftting old hveries.
VI. Fallieres popularity with Parisians
Is not enhanced by this official nisgardli
ness at the Elysee. the blame for which is
laid upon him. One paper SAYS:
The Chief Magistrate cannot urge the
poverty Of his allowance. Counting cred
its allocated to his civil list. he receives

sufficient to guarantee a certain magnifi-

SUGGESTIONS FOR TRANS
FERRINC THESE PATTERNS.

THE window pane method Is
perhaps the simplest and is
particularly successful when the
material is thin such as batist, lawn,
or handkerchief linen. the bes, plan
is to pin the sheet of paper and the
material together and hold them up
against the window pane and with
sharp pencil trace the design on the
fabric. or else lay the material on the
pattern on top Of a table or other
hard surface, and carefully trace the
design with a we'll pointed pencil, the
design may also be transferred to heavy
material by using . piece Of transfer

These patterns are transferred by

All that is necessary is to iay the pat

UNITED STATES STEEL

With declining price and shipments,
the United States Steel corporation in
the last half of 1913 will be smaller
than in the first half In the third
quarter it is estimated earnings will
be around s3S.500, 900, making a total
for the three quarters of approximate
ly s114.000.0O0- Some very low esti-
mates are being made on the fourth
quarters earnings, but assuming that
they reach $4,000, 900. the total for the
full year would be $14S,00O,O 900. This
would leave the Steel corporation with
a surplus after afll charges. including
dividends, of between S35, 000. 900 and
$4,000. zoe Estimates to earnings
in the fourth quarter are purely guess
work. as everything will depend upon
prices and shipments.
The various steel companies hold to
the opinion that within the next two
or three months there will be a furth-
er decline in steel production. While
many mills have sufficient business on
their books to keep their wheels turn
ing without interruption until the lat
ter part of the year, the fact that new
business is not coming in in sufficient
volume to replace the orders worked
| off the books is commented upon.
