CURATOR OF MUSEUM
SAYS FISH HAS SOUL

Fish cannot sing, or dance. or at

fortunate capacity-but they have souls.
SO said DR.. Paul Bartsch, curator OF
the National Museum before the Ac-
quarium Society last night.
If YOU want to know whether a GER
tain fish Is kindly disposed TO you.
look at its face, advised DIR: Bartsch.
"The physiognomy of a fish revels
its character just in the same way
that a mans most secret traits are
imprinted on his face" he declared.
Dr.. r. W. Shufeldt was delivering q
lecture 10 the society on the subject of
THE Physiognomy of Fish" when
DR.. Bartsch was asked II fish have
souls.
He answered: IF human being
has soul, why not concede one Ia
other animals? Man is a physical or
ganism, only different from other Or
ganisms in that his is more perfectly
developed. 1t Is certain that fish are
temperamcntal-some fish are sluggish
others are lively"

Dun's Review says disproportion be-

rise in prices continues apace, and.
though most commodities are already
at an extreme position. there Is no sign
that the crest has yet been reached.
Notwithstanding the high prices, the

Prices of practically everything in the
line OF iron and steel have advanced
during the past week, Advances In pig
iron range from 81 to 81 per ton. and the
minimum on semi-hnished steel Is now
$50 per ton. but much higher prices
have been obtained. The allied coun-
tries have reserved many hundreds OF
thousands OF tons Of steel for delivery
in the last half OF 1917, and coke has
advanced to s. per ton for spot supplies.
In all lines consumers are not receiving
enough material, both by reason OF In
ability or mills to produce, and further
because OF inability of railroads to de-
liver. and have gone into the market "a
buy supplemental lots. resulting In
higher values.
Demand Is Great.
The pressure on the mills for deliveries
is increasing. and the situation has be-
come a grave one to many consumer.
The railroad situation is becomlnS
worse. and every kind OF shipper IS
complaining of car shortages. Prices
have reached a very dangerous level,
but il is admitted that there Is nothing
that can prevent them from going
higher. -

DR.. J. 0. Skinner Prepares Table
Indicating Soaring Cost Of
Various Medicines.
425 PER CENT IN ONE CASE
Average Rise Between 1908
and 1918 ITO Per Cent,
Statistics Prove.

Astounding advances in the retail
prices of medicines have taken place In
Washington in recent years. accord
ing to tabuiated figures prepared for
The Times by DIR. J. o. Skinner, Medi-
cal Superintendent of the Columbia
Hospital
Reaching in some instances as high
as 425 per cent, these increases, In the
case of fifty-six> drugs picked at ran
dom from the ledgers of the hospital
have averaged more than 10 per cent
in the period between 1908 and 1919:
and TIA per cent between 1913 and
1915.
The increases in the price of drugs
necessarily become matter OF per-
haps life and death to every Ill man,
or woman, or child.
Food Price Comparison.
Not lsng ago DR.. Skinner prepared
a similar tabulation of retail price
comparisons OF food. as sold in the
Washington markets. His figures'
which were published in The Times on
October Z, have attracted attention
all over the country, and DR.. Skinner
has been flooded with requests for
further details.
Becoming connected with the Colum-
bla Hospital in 1904, Dr.. skinner at
once began keeping careful track OF
all expenditures from year to year Tor
all food and other hospital supplies
purchased for that institution. While
the prices he quoted are somewhat pc
low the retail rates, because OF the
quantities in which some OF the sup
plies are purchased. they do not rep
resent anything like the wholesale
rates.
Some of the extraordinary increases
in the prices for certain drugs since
1913 are to be attributed to the effect
of the war In preventing imports from
Germany. which has generally sup
piled these particular medicines. In
| certain other cases the figures OF
DR.. Skinner are incomplete owing
of the drugs in 1908 or to the fac,
| that the hospital was not purchasing
them that far back.
IT'S Per Cent Increase.
Digitalis, which is used in the treat
| ment for heart disease. shows an in-
| crease in price from to IL cents an
ounce, or 175 per cent over the thir-
| teen-year period.
Boric acid crystals and boric acid
| powder, used as a common antiseptiC
| and for such homely purposes as
| washing the baby's mouth, jumped lot
per cent in price in the last three
years.
Carbolic acid. another household an.
| tiseptic has jumped from 20 to "a
| cents a pound, or 40 per cent in the
| last thirteen years, and from ~ to u
cents or 33 1-3 per cent since 1913.
The record advance occurs In the
case OF phenoiphthaleia which has In
| creased in price since 1913 TO the eN'
| tent of 425.53 per cent.
! Ordinary aspirin has gone UP In tn,
| last three years from S41S per LOO
| five-grain tablets to 50 per 1000, NJ
| increase of 1881 per cent, while asa
foetida tablets. used In the treatmen
| of spasms. have gone up since thu
| war from $1.0s per 1000 five-grail
| tablets, to $3.02. an increase of APP
