traordinariIy High Prices for All
the Necessaries of Life.

Rio de Janeiro, the most wonderful
~ reconstructed city in the world, was
also, until recently, one of the most
pleasure loving. Today the president
is endeavoring to instill war economy
into the nation before it feels the brunt
of War-a by no means easy task.
Economy is not easily preached in a
country where state lotteries are of
daily, and public holidays of all too
frequent, occurrence The most popu-
lar of the latter is the carnival, which
occupies the four days preceding Ash
Wednesday.
Brazilians who complain of the high
cost of living will probably wish to see
war economy continued in times of
peace. 1t costs about $720 a day to
live at all comfortably in Rio. Some
manufactured articles are now difficult
to obtain, and the cost of everything
owing to the waS" and the colossal
protective tariffs, IS such as to make
unaccustomed English folks feel faint
with terror. A ready-made drill jack-
ct, though cheaper in back streets, will
be commonly priced at $1,000 in shops
on the Avenida Rio Branco. A tailor

Almost Lost Precious Gard.

One of those absentee registrants'

An amazing instance of the unex-

ended in French and German
pilot landing together. The French
man and the German were circling
and dipping for battle position.
Suddenly, the French pilot think
ing he had the advantage, charged
his enemy from the rear. But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing of the French
machine struck the right-hand
struts of the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently unit! it's tail whizzed

or perhaps too astonished-to shoot
at each other, the opponents spiraled
side by side in a close embrace, ulti-

some trees. Neither pilot was hurt,
so they clambered out. looking at each
other-and the German was reminded
that he was a prisoner.

Elijah as their patron saint, is per-

The thin line between courage and

for it rides astride fear. And it must

be either a coward or courageous
man, depending altogether upon which

step, but the formula has held good
in actual practice in our very best war.
