Here is suggestion for straighten.

method Of planning off the bottom.
Drive two heavy nails in opposite cor
ners of the door and run some lengths
of heavy wire between them. Slip a
couple of blocks of wood under the
wire and then take another spike and
use 1t az a turnbuckle in the center
of the wire. This will draw the bot

turnbuckle spike In the center of the

MORE LIGHT ON HIGH PRICES

Never again will prices or wages
reach the before the war level This
is the opinion of Professor H. T. Lew
is, head of the economics department
of the University of Idaho. Profess
sor Lewis said:
Although prices will fall from the
present level in almost every case,
this fall will not be rapid enough
&c be noticed by the consumer. The
share labor will get from the ma
tional income will be proportionate-
~ larger than ever before"
In his analysis of the high cost of
living problems, Professor Lewis has
emphasized the following facts:
The general public Is mistaken in
its feeling that prices will fall i'm
mediately after the signing of peace
although there are many factors in
the situation that would lead to this
conclusion. We have every prospect
for producing the largest wheat and
corn crop the United States has ever
had. The meat packing houses have
enormous holdings of meat and meat
products in cold storage.
Large stocks of goods of every
description which were being held
Tor war use overseas will not be need
ed as rehabilitation becomes fact.
The government purchases will fall
off. England has already cancelled
all her meat orders Finally. the men
returning from overseas service will
materially increase the supply of pro-
duee
There are many forces which will
tend to keep prices up. The cost of
transportation is still high. Ocean
rates have dropped slightly Railroad
rates continue the same. A new tax
levied by the government on almost
every conceivable luxury went into
effect May /.
The uncertainty of European sup
plies will tend to keep prices up.
Finally, the governments price fix
ing policy, adopted as pre-war
measure is being continued in peace
times. This policy holds that it is
uhwise to demoralize industry by
sudden shifting OF prices. The
government believes that If is un,
fair TO compel producers to sell AZ
loss goods that they produced al
the request of the government"
Professor Lewis believes that The
consumer win not notice this change
at once. Retail prices change muct
more slowly than wholesale prices
PRODUCERS are making every effort t,

TO FIX BROKEN INSULATION
Injury May Be Quickly and Easily Re.
paired by Using a Small Guam
tity Of Tar.

When on the road it is found that
wiring insulation is broken with all its
attendant troubles, the injured insula-
ton may be quickly and easily repaired
by using a small quantity of the tar
which is to be found on top of the
battery. Melt the tar, and while 1t is
hot spread it over the break In the
insulation and cover the whole Job
with a piece Of cloth. OF course, If
electricians tape is at hand this may
be used TO repair the break: indeed,
this is precisely the sort of service for
which the tape is intended.

OF AMER
ICAN COLLEGES

The colleges of the United States
are closing what has perhaps been
the most upsetting and confusing
academic year in their history. 1t
was bad enough the year before
with a great number of students
gone to fight for their country, but
there had at least been the COM
pensatory fact that each institution
was able to devise it's own ways and
means for meeting the situation.
Last fall however, the colleges were
used by the war department as la
boratories for en- experiment in COM
bined military and collegiate train
ing. taking orders from Washington
and getting along as best they could
under a succession of conflicting
orders.
Then the end of the war came
suddenly, before the S. A. r. c. sys-
TEN had gotten fairly organized, and

own resources in midterm. 1t is not
surprising, therefore. that theirsworh
since November has been more plan
ming for the future than lfSing-ft1 the
present.
There has been intense. and thor
ough planning, with the general mo-
tive of putting all our colleges on a
basis that will enable them to give
real service TO the nation under new
conditions that have arisen and will
arise. And SO when the. new year
opens next fall changes in academic
routine will be many and far reach
ing.
The most pronounced trend has
been away from the old humanities
toward business and the social sci
ences. Ancient languages are be-
ing dropped or made optional, and
added emphasis given to modern Ian
guages, especially English. Princeton
has abandoned obligatory Greek,
Yale, which did this some years ago
has made Latin elective, and for the
first time in its history will admit
new students without examination in
Latin. Several colleges that have
hitherto admitted by examination
only will give candidates greater
latitude with the aim of giving high
school students an equal chance with
boys who have had the advantages of
special private school preparation.
Then there will be more courses
in such new subjects as business ad-
ministration, sociology, economies
foreign commerce and public service.
An unmistakable change is in the at
titude of colleges generally toward
military training. Having found un-
der the compulsion of the war that
this work is highly beneficial, most
colleges will retain it in one form
OF another,-Spokesman-Review.
