EVEN WoMEN'S HATS ARE GOING
UP IN THE AIR IN PRICE

New York, Aug. 11.-The cost of
living is going upward by leaps and
bounds already as result of the
European war; New York butchers
quoted meats today and cents
higher. Butter has scared. Sugar
has reached new top prices. ii,
These are purely domestic food
staples. On those imported the prices
have shot upward to record figures.
Not only in food has the high cost
of living scared. Here are some other
staples affected because of the cut

EVERYONE BLAMES EVERYONE
ELSE FOR HIGH PRICES

ELSE FOR HIGH PRICES
The high cost of living is going
higher. Since Saturday nearly all
fresh meat has advanced 2 to cents
a pound. The butchers blame the
packers, the packers blame the farm
ers, and the farmres blame the war.
The situation is so serious that the
Chicago Butchers Assn has called
a meeting for tomorrow night at the
Hotel LaSalle to discuss the problem.
"The packers, in one week have
boosted the price of pork loins 9
cents" said Mr.. Levy, whose shop is
at 1449 N. Clark ST., former presi-
dent of the Illinois Master Butchers
Assn. But they are paying less
than cent more a pound for live
hogs this week than they did last
week. People should refuse to buy
pork. Today have one loin of pork
in stock. l usually carried Is. l am
advising my customers not to buy
pork for the time being"
Ten days ago local butchers were
paying 16 cents a pound for pork
loins. Now they're paying &c. cents.

obviously left-overs from last season.
Women wear so many doodads and
dinguses this year, their garments are so
slashed and cut and rufIled. that when the

fiuttering strips OF CLOTH he growled.
Nevertheless, some eccentricities of past
years were absent yesterday, and there
were signs OF a safe and sane reaction
from the sort Of dressing that has Of
Tended Puritan tastes. Few slashed
skirts were to be seen, and Of trouser-
cites. harem skirts and the like not one
could be spotted. The big hats that once
weighed down women's heads were not
worn. Small, smart hats, not over
trimmed, were the rule, and If some OF
them defied the laws Of gravitation In the
way they tilted over one ear they were
picturesque at least. Many quiet and
tasteful costumes were seen, especially on
women coming out Of the doors used by
pew-holders Of St. Thomass and other
churches. Some Of the costumes showed
the growing influence OF artistic dress re-
FORM One lovely one was OF fawn col
ored silk, the skirt falling In soft, straight
lines from the waist, and with this was
worn a rather loose, plain cut coat Of dull
green silk.
Walking with their elders were many
little girls. and for them silk coats
ruined at the bottom, seemed to be the
thing. Some OF them showed the first
bare legs OF the season above their short
socks.

ALIMONY QUESTION
OF CHIEF INTEREST
Views of Lawyers in Suit Vary
as to the Amount Justice

Justice Greenbaum Is expected 10 decide
this week the separation suit OF Mrs.
Ethel Lindner Belmont against Raymond
Belmont, son of August Belmont The
on the ground of abandonment and nom
support.
The foregone conclusion is overshad-
owed in Importance by the amount OF
alimony that Justice Greenbaum will
award to Mrs Belmont
Delaney Nicoll, attorney for Belmont,
and Edmund L. Mooney, for Mrs. Bel
mont, filed their briefs a week ago and
their views on the question Of almony
were at variance. Mr.. Nicoll asking the
court 10 base its finding on the testimony
OF August Belmont on the trial OF the
action that his sons income has been
reduced to 1912 a year.
Mr.. Nicoll sought to correct the intima-
ton that Belmont remains in England to
avoid paying his wife alimony. The at
torney also mentioned that if Mrs. Bel
mont had desired 10 learn directly from
her husband about his finances for the
purposes Of her SUIT she could have had
a commission appointed to take the tes-
timony OF Belmont in England.
mo award of aiimony," said Mr.. Nicoll,
"can be made upon the theory that II II
becomes necessary to enforce 1t by con-
tempt proceedings the defendants father
will probably come to his aid rather
than allow him to be imprisoned
Mr.. Nicoll referred TO the money which
Mrs Belmont said her husband gave her
and about the low state of his own
finances. During the existence OF their
relations" said the brief she admits
having received over $4,000 in cash from
the defendant; how much more he &C
tually gave her the evidence does not dis
close. His fortune has meanwhile melted
away, so that to-day his entire posses
sions are worth but $4,000 and produce
an income OF not more than $500"
On the other hand, Mr. Mooney in his
brief called TO the attention Of the court
the fact that Belmont continues 70 live
in luxurious fashion, Notwithstanding
his s6l2 year income. Mr.. Mooney also
reviews the testimony given by Mr.. Bel
mont that he turned over to his son a
/ policy on his life which will insure Ray
mond a life income Of $500 year He
asks for a substantial amount OF alimony

These disturbers were also dragged
