PRICES JUMP
ALL OVER ITALY
Startling Comparisons Between Pre-
War Figures and the
Present Cost of
LiVin1.

ROME. (By Misunderstanding com.
PARSONS between pre-war prices and
the present cost of living in Italy
have been submitted to the joint CEN
tenary commission Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, by DR.. Luigi Lala,
Methodist pastor at Turin. The COM
mission is making a special study Of
the problem, prior to opening a chain
of neighborhood houses in the fac
tory centers of northern Italy and in
the redeemed lands.
Clothes, food and household fllrni-
ture have all undergone a tremen-
dous increase in price, according to
DR.. Lala. A pair of shoes which, be-
fore the war came to twelve francs,
can not be purchased now for less
than sixty francs (nearly $12). An
overcoat which formerly cost eighty
francs is now marked at $50 francs.
Even shoes for baby of six months
have gone up from three francs to
ten francs. A kilo of beef which the
pre-war buyer could get for three
francs now comes to thirteen francs,
which is somewhat over two dollars.
Perhaps the most marked increases
of all Is in the line Of household fur
nishings. A sheet for a single bed
costs forty francs, or nearly eight
dollars, and in the old days the very
best could be bought for only six
francs. An ordinary spoon is valued
at about sixty cents. Nearly forty
dollars Is what one must pay for a
mattress only large enough for a
single bed. Pianos which used to be
worth $3.50, today costs $1,000.
The tremendous rise in the price
Of necessities has caused much suf
fering and discomfort, and many
strikes are taking place.
