Fight Stories High Prices.

Paris already possesses an organiza-

1t is proposed to establish in London
in order to control the cost Of living.
The baker extracts IS cents from them
for a four-pound loaf of household
bread, and as much as 20 cents in
some districts. while better quality
bread is never sold at less than six
cents a pound. Other necessities Of
life are equally dear in proportion. In
a manifesto issued when the League of
Partisan Consumers was formed to
fight these high prices it is stated
that the d~earness Of food is not due
solely to high tariffs and octroi duties.
The average Partisan shopkeeper
wants to retire from business at the
age of forty or ~thereabouts, and bleeds
his customers as much as possible. If
tradesmen could be persuaded to keep
in harness a little longer they would,
it is thought, be content with smaller
profits.

Buddha In their midst? The Dalai
Lama then discovered that the son
Just born into the house Of Tushetu
Khan, the most powerful of the Mon
golian princes, a direct descendant Of
the great conqueror Of Genghis Khan,
was himself a reincarnation of
Buddha.
The marvellous boy was taken to
Lhasa, there brought up and after
ward sem home as the first Khutukh-
ia (grand abbott of Urga.
1t was from this great appointment
that the present Khutukhta, the eighth
In the order Of succession, has de-
scended-though not in the flesh. For
the Khutukhtas have no business to
marry and to establish a dynasty but
are selected each time on the death
Of the last holder of the office from
among the babies born at that very
moment.
None of the previous seven Khu-
tukhtas was allowed to live too long.
1t is a sign OF d~ecadence OF the old
Pekin authority that the eighth Khu-
tukhta, who was born in 1871. has sue
ceeded in asserting his right to live so
long as this.
But his life has been a worthless
one. He has a great prediction for
strong liquors, he is very fond Of
cards, he likes the yellow, g~littering
metal more than anything else in the
world, and, so far from passing his
time in pious devotions. he rides in a
motor car, plays the piano, listens to
the photograph, and has surrounded
himself with a little harem.
1t is these worldly qualities which
have made him accessible to Russian
influences, but It would not surprise
the Mongolian world to learn that
they also have brought upon him his
ruin.
For when 1t really proves true that
Russia has withdrawn from him her
protection nothing will save him from
the Dalai Lama's accommodation
and then a new baby promptly will
