The High Cost Of High
Living to be Boosted

Washington, April 30. Thurs
day May is the day the high
cost of living get another boost
On that day and date the govern
ment puts a jack under the price
of everything that is tinged even
family with luxury and gives the
screw a turn or two. In other
words, that is the the date on
which the new excise tax goes in
to effect, and blessed-and lucky
lis the man whose tastes do not
run to frills, who likes plain
things in clothes, food-yes, and
even in the only kind of drinks
sold openly nowadays and who
has brought up his family in the
same way.
Consider the soft drink matter
for example. Ice cream sodas,
sundaes, lemonades, and the like
that today and tomorrow may be
had for Is cents, on and after
Thursday will cost II cents. The
new tax adds l cent for every 10
cents such refreshments cost.
Then the items of druggists
sundries, patent medicines, and
things like that. Your 25-cent
tube of tooth paste will cost you
26 cents, beginning Thursday as
will everything else the druggist
sells that now costs a quarter.
The new tax adds one penny for
every Is cents Of an articles cost
and this includes patent medl-
cines, cosmetics, tale powder and
everything else. Candy, chew
ing gum and kodak films fall in
the same class when it comes tc
garnering the war tax pennies.
If the wife or the daughter in
dulge their love of fnery in the
line of hats or bonnets, try toge'
'em to keep the price down to $ll
If it goes,pger that the tax maj
gets his Upper cent for the ex
cess. You may 60 as high as $l(
pair for shoes, but if you g
higher than that be prepared tt
pay the little old 10 per cent OF
the exta amount, which means
that a SIP pair of shoes on ant
after Thursday will cost $12.2O
And those fancy vests you like tt
wear. You get by with the ex
else tax collector if the vest doe!
not cost more than S.. If it j!
more expensive up pops that II
per cent, on the price above S..
Regulations for the application
of the new excise taxes have no
yet been annouced, though it il
expected they will be ready with
in a few days. Meanwhile how
ever the new taxes go into etfec
Thursday and dealers are char
ged with the duty of collecting
them from purchasers. So dom
say you haven't been warned.

BAN IS LIFTED
Columbia Will Resume Gridiron
 Sport Again Next FalI-Gamcs to Be Played in New Hudson Stadium

New York, Oct. 11.-Beginning
 with next fall Columbia is to cast
 aside it's contining football restric-
 tions and engage in the gridiron sport
 on an unlimited scale. This import
 ant announcement was made last
 evening at a general mass meeting of
 Columbia graduates at the Colum bia
 University club in West Forty-third
 street. at which the subject of the
 football policy, the matter of the pro-
 posed stadium on the banks of the
 Hudson river, and other athletic top
 ics were put before representative
 alumni for discussion.
 Frank D. FaC<enthai. secretary of
 the university, made tho statement
 about tho abolition of tho football
 ban to the graduates who received
 the news With as much surprise as
 elation. President Nicholas Murray
 Butler had asked the university com
 mittcc on student organizations, about
 a week ago, to inquire into the foot ball policy and not only had the com
 mittee reported as favoring the lift ing of the ban on football, but pr. Butler had approved the recommen dations. The sole remaining step, a matter of formality, will be to place the situation before the university council, composed of faculty repre- sentatives, for final appreciation. The council will have a special meeting 1 within a week.
 Under the new conditions. Colum- bia can again meet on the grdiron
 the big fivc"-Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania
 flor the first time since 1905, when football was originally abolished on Morn ingSide Heights. When the game was returned provisionally to the students in 1915, it was to con tnue under strict limitations for five years, during which time the college elevens mentioned could not be met This fall is the fifth and last year un- der the ban. It seemed to be a con sensus of opinion of the graduates last night, however, that Columbia z ! undergraduate student body was too small to develop teams strong enough | to meet Yale, Harvard or Princeton but that the ancient gridiron rivals
 Penn and Cornell, should be included | on next years schedule
 Nicholas Murray Butler, president | of the university, formally took UT i the football question on oct , in q | letter to Frank D. IHackCnthal, sec | retarY of the university and chairman | of the university committee on stu l dent organizations, and the nina | tiOn of the correspondence was re
 vcalcd last night in the announce mcnt that tho committee had rCCom- l mcndcd the resumption Of unrcstriCt- | Cd football.

RUPERT IS RlLED
prcSidcA Navin or Detroit Enters Protest Against lanlkN Receiving Third Place Money.

New York. oct 11.--A reply to the protest of President Navin of the De troit American league baseball club to the National commission against allowing the games in which PltchPf Cari Mays was used after the SuSpcn- sion by President Johnson o1 llc league was issued last night by FreSl- dent Ruppcrt of the New Y Ork cluo' Citing the injunction proceedings 'h which tho Detroit club was restrained, aY well as President Johnson, from m tcrfcring with the playing of Mays and from playing otherwise than in accordance with the established SchC1ulc of games, including those with New York, Col. Rapport says:
 "Dctroit was willing to accept the protection which the court order threw about it's established schedule until it found itself displaced from third place and participation in the division of the world series rcceDts and then in a spirit which it is diff cult to reconcile With good sportsman ship it has made a cry of protest, not to the court that issued the order, but to the commission.
 'Thc Detroit club now seeks, after the established schedule has been played through, to destroy that Srhed- ulc and to refuse to have tn" New York club officially credited With games played in accordance herewith. The New York club holds that. the commission has no authority to en- certain ot act on the protest and that to do so would be in violation of the order of injunction, contrary to law and, to tho rights of the New York Club.'
 Calling attention to the fact that the action of MT, Johnson in pur- posing to suspend Mays was formally rescinded by the board of directors of the league" Col Ruppert adds: ",Fhis protest from MT. NaVin Verifes my opinion of the gentlcman's sporting caliloer and it is my belief, based upon his well known timorousness, that without a suggestion of support from the self-constituted powers in baseball he would not have had the tcmerity to champion his untcnable position so boldly"
