 In the announcement, it is de- clared that among the objects sought in the consolidation is the placing of racing on a higher plane in the state, and the belief is indicated that this can best be done by widely scattering the stock among breeders and racers of thoroughbred horses themselves.
 The capitalization will be divided into s1,OOO,0O0 of preferred stock and s2,000,OO0 of common stock.

increase up to November, 1918, as indicated by the boards study, to these respective items, the average increase in the cost of living as a whole is 65.9 per cent.
 "The boards estimate of changes in the cost of living should not be confused with changes in whole sale price index-numbers such as Bradstreet's, Dun's, and those of the New York Times Annalist. As shown in the boards previous re- port, such wholesale commodity price changes do not necessarily run parallel especially, wholesale quova- tions tend to advance faster than retail. Furthermore, such wholesale commodity price index numbers, while valuable reflection of mar ket conditions, do not take account of the fact that different items have varying importance in the family budget. In short, they are not a measure of changes in the cost of living"
 Somebody or some interest has got to take loss to start the down. ward process in notion" remarks the St. Paul Dispatch, and Judge Gary, chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation, seems to have been the first to volunteer, in the name of his corporation, for this sacrifice. To quote the Minneapolis Journal:
 From Judge Gary comes the re- markable suggestion that as the opening move in the general down ward trend the steel makers of the country agree to a moderate re- duction in prices, but at the same time maintain wages where they are.
 Steel is proverbially the bara- meter of trade Is it not right, then, that it should lead the way in price and wage readjustment?"
 In other lines besides steel, ac- cording to the latest monthly cir cular issued by the Peoples Ma tional Bank of Pittsburg, "the de- cline in commodity prices has al ready begun" A price decrease is reported for both cotton and cotton goods, but we are warned that all decreases will be gradual

$4,500, making a total of S36,000. To this must be added the pensions of the seven ministers who were re- moved, also s4,50O each, making a grand total of S62,500.
 The salaries today are consider ably more modest than those paid the old cabinet which, with pensions totalled sS4,25O. The new state of affairs is therefore, so far as the cabinet is concerned, nearly $2O,0OO cheaper, This may be almost equal ized, however, by the expected ex- penditure of S15,000 annually for the new ministry of social affairs

CCSI If LIVING GRAVE PROBLEM
 IN 1HE STATES
Literary Digest)

The ballooning movement of prices in the United States, as the St. Paul Dispatch reminds us, be- gan long before the war, but an in crease of nearly 70 per cent be- tween July, 1914, and November,
 1918, seems to indicate that the war was a great accelerator of this movement. And with the cessation
 of hostilities comes a growing de- mand that soaring prices be checked and brought down to levels on which the consumer can meet them without suffering from financial vertigo. 'The high price of living has got to come down, and we have got to do something" observed the governor of Minnesota to the gov ernor of Maryland during the re- cent conference of goverors at An nanolis on the problems of recon struction. And the Grand Rapids News agrees that "the biggest prob lem before the nation is the prob lem of reducing living costs" Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, serves notice on industry that wages will not be permitted to decline, and the Knoxville Journal and Tribune sug- gests deadlock when it remarks that Fin the industries generally the cost of labor is the largest item in the cost of production, and lower prices will depend upon lower cost of production.
 The occasion of these comments is the publication of statistics gath cred by the National Industrial Con- ference Board, whose headquarters are in Boston. From an advance summary of this boards report, we learn that during the war the cost of living for wage-earners in the United States increased 65 or 70 per cent, the greatest increase be- ing in the price of clothing, which showed rise of 93 per cent, while food Jagged only little behind with an increase of 83 per cent. But since food occupies a much more prominent place than clothes in the family budget, it is the increase in the grocers' and butchers bills that bears most heavily on the pocket book. To quote the boards tabu- lation, with a couple of explanatory paragraphs:
 "The budget of the average work ingman's family, according to care ful investigations by government and other agencies, is distributed among the different items approxi- mately as follows: food, 43 per cent of the total; shelter, IS per cent; clothing, 13 per cent; fuel and light, per cent; sundries, 20 per cent Applying the percentages of

the actual number of laughs in hui

begins to look that way. Frederick
Calvin, bushes manager for MIR. and
Mrs. Coburn, has started the fashion
by unique and unprecedented pro-
cedure
There has been q controversy as to
the number OF laughs per minute at
performances of 1.-The Better Ole" at
the Cort Theatre. Calvin has contin-
uously stated that the number of
laughs per minute easily averaged
three. This statement was disputed,
and finally, to prove his contention,
Calvin made u test last Thursday
night. He recorded the number of
laughs during the entire performance,
using an automatic counter. Then
he went before a notary public last
Friday afternoon and swore to the
truth of the following statement:
To-day there personally appeared
before me, Frederick Calvin, business
manager for Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn,
who declared that last night, March
10th, at a performance of The Better
OLE he recorded the number OF
laughs during the performance of the
play, using for this purpose an auto
matte counter. This counter record
ed 194 spontaneous laughs during the
first act and 202 during the second act,
making total of 396 laughs. The en-
tire length of the performance il $50
minutes; therefore, the record shows
that there were nearly three laughs
to the minute"
And these were not smokers, gig

were genuine, hearty laughs"
