 IN GERMANY
 IS DECLINING

Cob1enz. Sept. Living conditions in the interior of Germany are rapidly adjusting themselves as a result of the lifting of the blockade by the allies. According to the German newspapers, however, it may be years before food prices become nor nal or virtually the same as they were before the war. Some German editorial writers, complaining of high prices at the present time and dur ing the years of war, contend bitterly that the low cost of livlug enjoyed by Germany for so many years Is forever past.
 As an indication of improvement in the food situation in one German city the KoIoniaI Warren Zeitung, of Leipzig. of recent date, says:
 "Profteering in trade price plainly shows a decline since the lifting Of the blockade The overcharges on pork have long since removed and the shortage has ceased. Every where one finds in the eating places, beef, veal and pork meat without limitation at reasonable prices.

 IS PRACTICAL. IN THIS STATE Public in General Is Not Buying Wisely or
 Carefully. TRACE H. c. l..

 of High Prices.

Hartford. Sept. Zone of the req sons for the present high cost of liv- ing, according to a statement issued by the Connecticut War Savings Com mittee. is the fact that people are spending money lavishly for luxuries The committees fight on extrava-| gance as a factor in high prices, is part of it's publicity campaign in cooperation with Robert ScovfIIe, Food Administrator for Connecticut
 "Information has come 10 this of flee" says the statement. indicating that profiteeriuE has been and is practiced in Connecticut to a con siderable extent. Its elimination is simply a matter of efficient police work by the Department of Justice and the Food Administrati0 ton. That, however, is only part of the story. This office also has information from time to time showing unmista keably that the public in general is not buy ing wisely or carefully.
 "UnfortUnately, it is not only those of some means who are cxtrav- agant. In many ways the poor are becoming as foolish as the rich. This month, for instance, a woman representative of one of the depart

The coats cost from S1-5 to 800 each, but in this insurance office they were purchased by many girls earning probably $15 a week or less. Some of the girls will be paying on the coats for three or four years. By such reckless eXtrava ganCe as this the prices of luxuries are made 10 soar, and to some extent the prices of ne Cessities follow.
 The committee cites the Instance Of girl employees of the American Thread Mills at Willimantic, who -cashed in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, when they were working out thirty-six hours a week. to purchase expensive cIothiug- Last winter it is estimated 25 per cent. of the Liberty Bonds sold during the war to the girl employees of this fac tory were thrown on the market and a. large percentage of the girls bought fur coats in most cases on the installment plan.

EXPERT ON BAD THINGS FINDS A GOOD THING

An expert with lifelong experience in hunting the bad things of life, wfl- liam A. Plnkerton, dean of American sleuths, recently devoted his attention to seeking a good thing and found it in War Savings Stamps. Something of the reputation he has achieved in locating crooks and evildoers generally accompanied him in his efforts to find the reverse of his usual objective.
 In seeking a safe investment for some of the proceeds of his efforts in trailing bad things Pinkerton made himself a new reputation by pursuing investments, some of which be trailed with more or less misleading elews un- til he got tip on War Savings Stamps Then he quickly gathered evidence of the safety of the securities and lost no time in taking custody of $1Oo0 worth for each member of his family, the maximum limit allowed by law.
 Now Pinkerton not only has his money working for him, but he has added to his enviable reputation as an authority on bad things a name as an expert on locating good things.

house only through semicircular holes
at the bottom Of the wall, not more
than two feet high, for all the world

When guest calls at house he is

hands and knees and crawls through
hole In the wall In search of his wife,

emily comes crawling back, followed

the floggings took place and the in
struments used. These consisted of
pieces of rubber foot hong, with
wooden handles. The rubber for the
punishment of offenses of lesser de-
