COST Of LIVING IS
HIGHER THAN EVER
Government Statistics Show That
Prices of Necessities Are Going
Up Each Year
Bv Associated Pres

Washington, June 16.-The cost of
living is higher than ever before in
the United States, as far as govern
ment statistics show and is increasing
each year. In 1914 the years cost of
filling the market basket of the aver
age American workingman's family
was S6.6S or two per cent. higher than
1t was in 1918, and $60.43, or 24.5 per
cent. higher than it was in 1907, cal
culating on relative price figures an
nounced to-day by the Federal Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, as a result OF
its most recent investigation of retail
prices.
These figures represent prices OF
fifteen articles aggregating approx
mately two-thirds of the expenditure
for food by the average workingman'
family. The cost of these articles ir
1913 was s333.90, making the 1914
cost s340.5S, while in 1907 it was
$2S0.15.
Calculating these amounts as two.
thirds of the workingman's family
food expenditure, the total spent fol
food and in these years would be: Ir
1918. $500.S5; 1914, $510,S7, and 1907
$4,000. The bureaus investigation
covered prices in forty-four import
ant industrial cities, representing
| thirty-three states.

Bv Associated Press

London, June 16, 1908 p. ma
Zeppelin airship visited the northeast
coast of England last evening and
dropped bombs.
Fifteen deaths are reported from the
district in question and fifteen persons
were wounded.
Some fires were started by the pro-
jectiles from the Zeppelin, but by this
morning they had been overcome.
This information was contained in
an official announcement in London to-
day.
Beginning with the German raid on
the municipal area of London May 81,
in which four persons were killed the
past sixteen days, have brought re-
ports of number of aerial attacks by
both sides, all of which indicate a de-
termination to force the fighting from
the clouds.
An air attack by the birdmen of one
side has been followed so closely by
a counter attack from the other, al
though on a different locality that re-
taliation is strongly indicated. For
instance, yesterday morning twenty
three aeroplanes delivered an attack
upon the German city of Karlsruhe,
killing nineteen persons and wound
ing fourteen, and innIcting material
damage. The raid on England men,
toned in the foregoing dispatch follow
ed this onslaught within twenty-four
hours.

GAY PARIS IS LIKE GRAVE

Following a six months business
trip through Russia, England and
France, Mr.. and Mrs. j. X. White, 1872
Walnut street, returned to this city
last night. Mr.. White spent a major
portion of the time in France and
Russia in the interests of the Harris
burg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works
which since the war started is manu-
featuring large quantities of shells for
shrapnel.
Mr.. White, it is believed, brought
back with him large orders for NUM-
tions of war but this could not be
verified, as he spent the entire day in
conference with the heads of his firm.
Mr.. and Mrs. White left here last
January. They spent some time in
England and after the German raid
on Paris had been checked went to
that city. Paris had been strongly for
titled and the residents were badly
frightened. Streets and boulevards
were practically deserted and the gay
night life of the city, so much heard
of, was conspicuous by its absence,
Mrs White said.
After closing several deals with
French military officials, they ste rted
back for England. Things had then
