COBLENZ DAMAGED
BY BRITISH RAIDERS
Two Munitions Factories Were Set on
Fire and Firemen Had Hard Time
Coping with the Flames.

London, Wednesday, March l3.--Mon
days air raid on Coblenz caused heavy
damage in that city, according to Ger.
man reports, says the Exchange Tele-
graph correspondent at Amsterdam. Two
muntion factories were burning, he
states, and vast quantities of explosives
were continually going off, rendering the
efforts of the firemen to extinguish the
flames unavailing.
On the other hand, Reuters Amster-
dam correspondent qutoes the Cologne
Gazette as saying that the bombs
dropped by hostile airmen caused only
slight material damage, none of which
was military. Two women were killed
and 20 persons injured
The raid on Coblenz was by British
aviators. They were officially reported
by London on March IL to have dropped
a ton of bombs on this city of nearly
10000 population, attacking factories,
stations and barracks.
Amsterdam, Wednesday, March ID
The French assertion that works were
hit and fires caused in an air raid upon

however, that 10 persons had been killed

GRUMBLED IN OLD TIMES.
Our Grandmothers and Their Mothers
Found Fault with Prices.

Detroit, Mich. March To- HOUSEWIFE,
who have protested against the prices
they pay for food these days, may real
ize some consolation from the fact that
their grsndmothers and their grsndmoth
ers' mothers also did that same thing on
more than one occasion.
Two.dolar wheat in Michigan is not
by any means a Goth century innovation
| Neither is Sl5 -four, nor is 81 corn. A
hundred years ago some foodstuifs cost
more in Detroit than they do now; 80
years ago prices also were meteoric-in
fact every generation since the dawn of
the 10th century has felt the pinch of
high prices But the result has always
been the same, The cost of living flashed
skyward with whizz and eventually
crashed earthward with a bang
Startling comparisons with present
day prices for food were shown in the
market reports of June, 1917. Here are
some of the quotations:
Flour, per barrel, 81 TO Sl2.
Pork, $26 to $50 a barrel.
Wheat 50 bushel; corn, So oats, 81
Potatoes, 81 % bushel
Butter, 81 cents pound; eggs, 81
cents dozen.
Much has been written about the sen.
sational price fluctuations during the
Civil war. For short spaces of time dur
ing the late sixties prices were sky high.
In the spring Of 1867 wheat was quot
ed at S2,95, Winter brought war prices.
Coal cost Sl3 a ton, more than it has
cost in Detroit thus far during the Eu.
ropean war. -Four was Sl3 a barrel
From that tirle until % years ago, the
trend of prices usually was downward.
In February, 1898, -four sold at S3.95 per
barrel
