progress is out of the question, was
proven last Sunday by Lou Starr, the

Starr was at loss to know what to
DO next. Finally he happened to no
tlce the business end of a grasshop-

removed it. Still the car would not
revolve. Another search disclosed one
more hopper" still further inside the
mechanism Mr.. Starr will rig mos
quito netting hood for his car when

Special Dispatch from
HARRY B. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 4.-The
relative increase in the price OF staple
foodstuffs in Germany. England, Can
ada and the United States. since the
beginning OF the war, is graphically set
out in a chart prepared by experts in
the ONCE Of the Canadian Food Con-
troller A COPY has been received by
Food Administrator Hoover
This chart shows that whereas the
cost Of foods has increased IN THIS
COUNTRY on an average OF slightly
less than 40 PER CENT. the increase
in CANADA has been 60 PER CENT, in
ENGLAND 206 PER CENT. and IN Ger
many-ln November OF last year, when
the last authentic figures for German
foodstuffs were obtainable-2i0 PER
CENT.
While prices IN Canada and England
have tended constantly upward, with
the exception Of a brief period from
June 10 August this year when the
new harvests were coming In, the peak
Of high prices in the United States was
reached in May, 1917, just before the
food control bill was passed, and that
since June there has been a decline
Of approximately 10 per cent. on the
basis Of prices July. 1914, when the
war began.
In preparing the chart, staple foods
such as would form the basis Of the
average family's diet were taken and
the cost Of this group Of commodities
as Of July, 1914, made the standard Of
Evening journal., 1917-12-07

comparison for each country.
The cost OF the same group was then
taken for each month since, and ex-
pressed as a percentage OF the prewar
cost OF July. 1911.
AS the starting point Of each line in
the chart Is the price level In each
country In July, 1919. the chart shows
not the difference in dollars and cents
between the cost Of foods in the dif-
ferent countries. but the rise OF prices
in each country as based on ils own
pre-war level
The most significant thing shown by
the chart IN the opinion Of w. ]. Han
ma, G. c.. Food Controller for Canada.
Is that prices M the United States
turned downward al a time when this
country was tremendously increasing
It's war activities and floating billions
OF bonds.
This, he believes, indicates that the
food administration Is getting a firm
grip on the situation and that this
country will be saved from the ex-
treme imitation IN food prices from
which England and Germany have suf-
fered
