The judiciary committee Of the SEN
ate has favorably reported the bill
known as the national motor vehicle
theft act" 1t provides penalty of
five years imprisonment and $4,000
fine for the stealing of automobiles
1t is probable that the measure will
receive early consideration, and be-
come law in the not distant future.
IL will provide an additional safe
guard against the increasing number
OF automobile thefts.

REPORT ON HIGH COST OF LlV.
ING IN MONTANA.

The Montana trade commission, af
ter an extensive investigation of the
high cost of living throughout the
the opinion Is advanced that the great
er portion of the increased cost of liv-
ing is due to the abnormal increase in
the cost of raw material, but that the
fact can not be denied that to a
certain extent the local jobber, whole
saler and retailer, in demanding ex-
cessive margins of profit, are also re-
sponsible for the present condition"
The commission calls attention to the
campaign that is being waged
throughout the country to buy now"
as prices are going to advance fur
Their" This, the commission says, is
pure propaganda for which manufac-
turers and dealers are responsible,
and should be ignored, for prices are
bound to decline. Against this pro-
paganda, the consumer is advised to
economic and refuse to pay the ex-
cessive prices demanded. For the in
formation of consumers, the commits
sion gives the following gross per-
centage of profit on certain lines of
goods, from which must be deducted
freight and operating expenses: La
dies clothing and shoes, 10 lines, 81
per cent; mems clothing and shoes, 7
lines, SO per cent; dry goods, toweling,
table linen, ETC., 8 lines, 81 per cent
comforters, blankets, rugs, etc, 6
lines, 81 per cent; childrens dresses,
girls coats and boys suits. 8 lines, so
per cent; average on all groceries, "a
per cent. Here are a few specific
prices as reported by the Montana
commission: Mems shoes that cost
$3.50 to 1886 retail for s12 to SIG;
cost 1885 to Sc retail for IS to $40.
Ladies' shoes that cost from $40 to
$1065 retail for $12 to $40. Mems
ready made suits that cost from SASS
to $3.50 retail for $3.50 to $45. Mems
overcoats that cost s24.92, 1856 and
$44 retail for $40, $50 and $40. Ladies'
dresses, cost price $3.50, $3.50 and
s42.5O, retail price s37, $55 and 1880.
Ladies coats, cost price SIS, $3.50
and $3.50, retail at $3.50, $40 and
$40. Ladies' suits, cost price $25,
$3.50, $425O and $40, retail for $40,
$49.50, SIS and $125. On the question
of the right of dealer to advance
prices on his stock on hand cores
ponding to the advancing market
prices, the commission says.
Before the war and under nor
NAL conditions, II the prices Of
commodities were advanced, as a
rule the increase amounted to on
ly small per cent over former
quotations. 1T was considered
legitimate practice for the mer-
chant to apply the advanced cost

As Summer Passes
III T. Sudduth in New York SUM

sweet June with all her roses long
since passed, =
Passed too her radiant dawns and
dew sprent flowers;
Her roses budded, bloomed and then
at last
Loft fragrance that still haunts fair
summers bowers.
And then in regal pomp sun crowned
July
Passed DER the fields that waved
with golden grain.
Her tiger lilies glowed the streamlets
by.
And shocks Of wheat she LETT on
field and plain.
Now, last of all the summers fio"-
cry train,
The Rose Of Sharon blooms beside
the way.
Summers last month is here, though
brief her reign,
For she too passes, all too short ner
stay.
The golden splendor Of the August
moon
Spreads its effulgence wide DER all
the land;
The landscape in its radiance lies
a-swoon,
And summer, rapt in dreams. now
seems to stand.
The browning leaves hang silent on
the trees,
But lightly held as in dreams
sweet thrall,
Save when there comes fitful, rusti-
ing breeze
That loosens them and then they
slowly fall.
For now sweet summer stands at
browning height
OF all the glories of her golden
sway,
And seems to pause while ere she
takes flight
To southern climes that wait her,
far away.
Now even while she pauses, calm and
bright.
And Ger the landscape fair in sill
ence broods,
September waiting stands on nearby
height
Her golden rod slow brightens in
the woods!

HE CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE ALL
THE TIME.

In 1912 when he was candidate for
the presidency, Mr.. Wilson told the
country that democratic tariff law
would reduce the high cost of living.
He was elected upon that ISSUE the
tariff was reduced, but the high cost
of living continued steadily to ad-
vance, even before the. outbreak of
war in Europe. He surrendered Am
erican markets to foreigners, but the
cost of living did not come down. Now
he soberly tells the country that II
hey will ratify the peace treaty, lea
que and all, the cost of living will
come down., He is just as confident
now as he was in 1912. But surren-
der of American sovereignty to for
eigners will not reduce the cost of
living in 1919 any more than surren-
der of American markets reduced 1t
| in 1918. 1t is one more instance of
Wilsonian camouflage-on par with
his kept us out of war; slogan in
1916. But the people have had
enough.

SPECULATION upon

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
HITS WALL Street

New York, Oct. 13.-(United Press.)
People who want to make money
there being several of them in the vi
cinity of Wall Street and elsewhere in
this city-are struggling to adjust pa
.triotic scruples with possibilities of
"cleaning up" ON the low exchange
value of the German mark.
Marks have hit the bottom in their
spectacular drop, it is felt by many,
who have followed the tumble in value
of the German unit Of exchange from
twenty five cents to three and quar-
ter cents. Much exchange on German
banks is being bought at the low price
Most of the purchasers are bank en-
ployes, people connected with business
houses and those who ''play the
game" on the outside looking in at
Wall street. Many bankers consider the
mark a good buy, but cannot purchase
except as individuals, since reliable
and conservative banks cannot specu-
late on unproductiye values.
Specializing on the mark is consid-
cred purely gamble, but usually a
good one, since the exchange depends
largely on trade, and it is thought

county. offers better pheasant and
quail shooting; but as n region for
the shooting of man, particularly by
his mate, Nassau undeniably has bit
on Suffolk.
How any individual can live in the
delightful rural parts of Long Island
and still remain 50 evil ns to invite

biologists. The fact remains. SIMS
ter male humans, whose natural hahi.
tat would seem to be the cities, go to

and themselves. or perhaps because
they wish to be well separated from

And yet. as we have seen in recent

A HIGH SCHOOL NEEDED.
Prcdirament OF the Youth Of WASH
ington Heights.

To THE EDITOR oy THE SuE-ST: There
are more than 5000 boys and girls on
Washington Heights who are required
TO Journey to distant points 10 attend
high school because the city has over
looked the need OF such a school in a
community OF 100000 persons popula-
ton larger than that OF city tho size
OF Cleveland For these children II has
been a case Of either attending a school
far from home. requiring car fare and
lunch money, or staying away from high
school altogether.
From time to time during the last
five years efforts have been made by
individuals and civic organizations TO
have the Board OF Education build n
high school in a central part OF Wash
ington Heights for the convenience Of
the children OF this fast growing SEQ
ton, but all have been unavailing. on
one pretext or another the suggestion
has been laid aside. And so to-day the
Heights is still without a high school.
The Board Of Education has practI-
cally admitted that the demand for a
high school is we'll founded and plans
for the school will be submitted to
the board some time this month. But
until such time as definite action is
taken the people of the Heights will
continue their fight. for promises have
been mado before and not kept.
