REPTILES ARE COLLECTED BY
 CALIFORNIAN

LOS ANGELES, July 30 (by Asso- ciated Press)e-Jobbers prices for reptiles, f. o. b. Los Angeles, quote rattlesnakes at 40 cents pound (more than some cuts of beef); Gila mon sters, S10 a dozen, and lizards, $3 a hundred.
 Needless to state, these creatures are not in demand as food, but, ac- cording to Frank Weinberg, who fur nished the quotations, as additions to collections of reptiles in Europe, where many individuals, as we'll as menageries, keep them both as fads and as business.
 Like almost everything elses the reptile market suffered because of the war, but now that it is ended, MT. Weinberg says, the demand is on the increase.
 He and as many small boys as care to engage in the hunt search the hills and valleys of Southern California for the harmless things that crawl with legs" but he goes alone into the desert for rattlers and Gila monsters.
 He keeps his stock in his back yard, where his wife handles the creatures and helps in their care as fearlessly as does her husband.
 A dangerous business? No, accord ing to MT. Weinberg.
 ''No more dangerous than driving an automobile" he declared. "Of course, you must be careful in han ding the poisonous ones. But most of the reptiles people fear are not dangerous, after all.''
 He reached into a glass box, thrust his hand under some dry leaves and brought out large lizard, squirming and trying to bite He held it's head to his lips. It closed it's ugly mouth there.
 "Perfectly friendly and harmless,' J said MT. Weinberg. See how it kisses me-"
 A long rattlesnake, which had been sounding a warning, struck, but stopped against the glass side of an. other box.
 He's a little nervous" said the rep, tile market man. He hasn't beer handled for some time" He opened the box, tossed a hand kerchief over the snakes head and quickly clasped the creature behind where it's ears would have been had it had ears.
 Hes a pretty good rattle," said MT. Weinberg. "Worth two dollars anyway"
 Talking of the reptile demand, he said:
 Its like everything else-there is more demand for imported serpents than for home products. In Europe they want American snakes. In Amer ica they want European reptiles"

COST 0FLIVINC NOT LIKELY 10
 BE LOWERED

PHILADELPHIA, July 30 (by As sociated Press)-The cost of living is likely to stay high for a long time to come, in the opinion of the Philadel- phia Board of Trade. This view is a result of a compilation of statistics from many lines of trade and industry. vance in prices in this country since 1914 has been about 107 per cent; in Canada, 115 per cent; Great Britain, 133 per cent, and in France, 235 per cent. It is pointed out that, in spite of material reductions in the price of steel, the advance in other cOmmOdi- ties since the armistice has been so great that the average price schedules have been reduced but 5.7 per cent below prices prevailing October 1, 1918.
 k The following are given as reasons why wages will not be much less for a considerable period of time:
 Practical stoppage of immigration since 1914, depriving this country of several millions of workers who would normally have come to us, and thus have relieved the labor shortage which confronts American industry upon the resumption of capacity operations.
 Retention in the government mili- tary service of nearly 100000 work CTS, which, it is declared, will doubt less continue an indefinite period.
 Creation of new industries, such as shipbuilding, manufacture of chemi- calls and dyes.
 Urgent demand for building and con- struction of every class, due to their having been forcibly held back for several years.
 Shortage of world food supplies and uniformly high prices.
 Proportionately higher levels of commodity prices existing throughout Europe.

the class, all of whom are physical in structors in various institutions. They are learning baseball so they in turn can teach it to their pupils.
 Their first lesson was attending game here between the Vernon and Sacramento clubs of the Pacific Coast league, after which they returned to the class room for discussion.

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS TO ERECT ELABORATE

LONDON, July 1 (by maiD .-Repre sentatives of the principal labor or, ganizations have taken steps for the erection in London of a building in tended to be the finest headquarters of any democratic movement to be found in the world, as Arthur Tender son, labor leader, explained to the meeting which launched the project
 It is to be erected in Westminster district, near the parliament houses, and will contain the headquarters of the Trade Union Congress, the Brit ish Labor party (which is a political party with an organization distinct from the trade unions), and the CO., operative trading bodies, which are powerful in the industrial centers.
 There are to be committee rooms, offices for the staffs, reference library, reading rooms, hotel and restaurant. It is proposed to establish a perma- nent exhibition of cooperative prod ucts.

After asserting that there Is nothing

the commercial and industrial welfare of
this country as a definite governmental
railroad policy" Mr.. Lovett declared
that the necessity for exclusive national
control, as against State regulation. was
now too obvious for discussion and
that "the only debatable question IL
whether such control shall be through
Government ownership or by exclusive

00,000-which have been loaned to
railroads to help them pay for the ex-
tensive program OF Improvements and
purchase OF new cars and locomotives.

Compensation Is $3.50 900. 900
The Governments loss cannot be
stated exactly until the compensation Of
each road is finally determined and until
the interstate commerce commission
complies figures on earnings and ex-
penses for November and December. Of
ficials believe, however, that the aggre-
gate Government compensation for all
roads will be about $3.50. 900. and
that the net income from railroad opera
tions, credited to the Government, will
be a little more than Ss00,000.000. For
the ten months up TO November l the
Governments net income from the rail-
roads, as reported by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. was $605, 100000.
Operating revenues for the entire year,
