STATISTICAL PERPLExITIEs.

g. IGURES are certainly funny things.
Here is the chief statiscian OF the Food Admin
lstratlon demonstrating that from May. 1917 10 May,
1915 wholesale food prices fell fourteen per cent
And then along statement issued by the De
parment OF Labor showing that in the six cities, Wash
ington, Baltimore Philadelphia, New York. Chicago and
San Francisco, food that cost dollar in July 1915
could have bought for eighty-six cents in July,
1917.
OF fourteen cents food that cost eighty
six cents, would be sixteen per cent. Now won't
some explain TO just what advantage we get if
wholesale prices OF food go down fourteen per cent from
May 1917 to May 1918 but the retail price Of food goes
up sixteen per cent from July. 1917 to July 1918?
One exasperatng feature Of the figures is that the
Food Administration complies statistics for period
and the Department Of Labor for another
The Food Administration gives wholesale prices
which the does not pay while the Department
Of Labor gives retail prices which do pay
The Overman act gave the President unlimited power
