Opposed to kniuhthood.

Coke of Norfolk, who eventually
went to the lords as Earl of Leicester,
was furious when threatened with a
knighthood, relates the London Chron-
icle. After an attack on the prince
regents life in 1917 Coke was chosen
to present him with an address from
the Norfolk wings. They congratu.
lated him heartily on his escape, but
concluded by beseeching him to dis
miss from his presence and council
those advisers who by their conduct
had proved themselves alike enemies
to the throne and people" On learn
ing the terms of the proposed address,
the regent, who knew that Coke valued
his position as commoner above every.
thing, declared, IF Coke enters my
presence, shall knight him." When
this threat was reported to Coke he
replied, IF he dare try to knight me,
I swear I'll break his sword"

the possible cures is general. In
parliaments and in chambers of
commerce, in pulpits and on the
streets, in shops and factories, in
workmen's homes and international
hotels, one hears the discussion
on every hand. The very skies of
the European continent rain pamph.
lets on the subject and in response to
inquiry, at any national or municipal
bureau, there is a deluge of statistics.
In the major countries, where the gov
eminent reports are comprehensive in
their scope, official figures showing the
cost of living in smallest detail may be
obtained. Even government figures,
however, may be untrustworthy. Let

were three girls, aged seventeen, six.

the available floor space, leaving only
about Is inches for the occupants to

Prices of Necessities Increased.
How does the other fellow, assuming
that he works for his daily bread,
live? The disputed Sauerbeck figures
for England and Wales show a grad
ual increase in wages, but in the last
ten years much greater increase in
prices of necessities. The consump-
tion of wheat and wheat four-a mark
OF q standard living in western lands
has remained about the same in
Great Britain, decreased in France,
and increased In Germany and the
United States. AS to the amount of
consumption, France comes first, the
United States and Great Britain sec
ond, and Germany last. The importa-
lions Of meat, coffee, tea, sugar and
rice into northern European countries
have necessarily increased in the last
ten years. This shows an increase
in the standard of life of the people
which, to a degree, explains the higher
cost which the other fellow must pay.
"more People Want More Things"
1.-THE question Of the increased cost
OF living" said Harold Cox, the Brit
fish authority, us an extraordinarily
difficult problem. l believe, however,
the general explanation is to be found
In the fact that wages have been ris-
ing throughout the world, especially
among the poorer classes and the
more backward races, for example, in
India and in eastern Europe. The re.
suit is that the labor cost of produc.
ton has been increased This may
have been Offset to q limited extent
by the increased use of machinery and
the wider cultivation of the new coun-
tries of the world, but the improved
economic position OF the poorer class
es-their increased demand and in
creased consumption--is the root
cause Of the rise in prces. 1t must be
remembered that these classes are

eating more and dressing better than
they did ten or fifteen years ago. 1t is
question Of supply and demand-we
always get back to that. To sum the
matter up in an instance, you can say
that because the Poles, who formerly
lived on rye bread, are now demand
ing wheat bread, the world has to
pay more for its wheat" Which, be-
ing interpreted, means that living is
higher because more people want
more things. But do they get them?
Here are some replies that each may
interpret for himself.
German Metal Workers. Budget.
The German workman, better situat-
ed than his comrades in industry in
other countries of the continent Of
Europe, is shown at his best in a re-
port issued by the Metal Workers
union. This report gives the actual
budgets of income and expense of 800
of the workmen in this best-paid in
dustry. The average was an income
Of $3.50 year, Of which 1915 was from
the workmans own labor, the rest
from that Of his family and aids and
benefits. His annual expense was
$475, divided 1855 for food drink and
tobacco, SOS for rent and taxes, $55
for clothing, $25 for sick, trades and
other subscription, $40 for sundries,
and, leaving a saving of about S. a
year.
Budget of Unskilled Laborer.
The figures Of the unskilled laborer
are not so favorable, of course. They
are also more difficult to obtain. A
case Of factory laborer's home at
Dusseldorf is not exceptional, how
ever and serves for testimony. In this
case the fiat which was the Workman's
home was on the third floor and con-
sisted of three rooms. The occupants
were laborer and his family, a wife,
and eight children. His wages were
SIS week of 60 hours. The rooms
were IA by 10 feet in size, the rent
81 a month and the local taxes Sc
year. In this case, therefore, the Ia
borer received $3.50 a year and paid
in rent and taxes more than one-third.
His wife said that they bought lit
tie meat for Sundays-about two
pounds; children never ate the meat
but they had the soup. She would
like, she said, to get the children milk
and eggs but could not afford to buy
