The upper berth is not, primarily, a
place Of rest. It's humble. Like po-

The main idea Of the Upper is first,

to stay there till morning without

The chances are So a piece and 100

the porter a quarter. IF you lose, you

Life in the upper is just as calm as
life in bathtub on a fagpole in cy-
clone.
IF you insist on trying to sleep in
one, put your clothes to bed and hang
yourself on hook.

THE COST OF HIGH LIVING

The success attending the boycott on
eggs and turkeys serves to remind us of
tie remark OF a recent writer who ven
tured the opinion that it was not SO
much the high cost of living as it was
the cost Of high living that was trou-
bling the country at this time.
That writer placed his finger on one
Of The sorest spots in our domestic
economy.
We ere the NEST extravagant people
on earth.
Fifty years ago our fathers would
have sworn mighty but righteous oaths
had any been guilty of our extrava-
gance. They lived in manner that
we Of this day would consider the ex-
treme of hardship.
= Our grandmothers, could they come
back, would be thoroughly scandalized
at our profigate extravaganza, and yet
the strange thing to Us is that they
managed to extract about as much has
piness from life as We to-if not lit
tie more.
It has been said that the luxuries Of
one generation are the necessities of the
next.
If this be true the outlook in a few
generations is truly appalling. Given
all our Injuries as their necessities.
with proportionate luxuries Of their
o~vn of which we have not vet even
! c.@G,ned, to what gigantic extent will
ct -avagance have been reachede
The picture is not a promising one.
In fact, it is by no means attractive.
It has been said that an European
peasant s family would live in com
fort on what the average American
kitchen consigns 20 the swill barrel.
And we haven t doubt Of the truth
Of the assertion.
Here's the American pace: Mr.. and
Mrs. B, worth half million, ASPIRE to
live on the same scale as Mr.. and Mrs
a., who are worth a full million. And
Ny. and Mrs. G, With only a quarter OF
q million, would keep pace with the
BIS, who have hale a million, and SC
on down the line.
Really, isn't it time for the sober
intelligent citizenship Of the country to
call hatj on the useless, senseless and
even idiotic extravaganza Of the age?
There is an end to every string, and
the American people are mighty long
way from the beginning.
