PRESENT PRICES COMPARED
 WITH CIVIL VAR PRICES

corresponding period following the Civil War show more points of differ ence than of similarity.
 During both wars the wholesale prices of commodities in general rose steadily through the war period. The rise during the Civil War period, talk ing the year 1860 as the base, runs up to somewhat higher level than the rise during the present war. In both wars, building materials rose in price, but they did not at either time reach levels as high as the price levels of other commodities.
 Building materials declined in price along with other commodities during the first half of the year 1865. How ever, the fall was less than in the case of other commodities. Whereas com modities in general dropped 27 per cent, building materials dropped only 44h per cent. The recovery during the second half of the year was more marked, prices of building materials returning to the level of the last quarter of the year 1864, and remain ing at that level for a period of a year before the decline set in. The index figure for the building mate rials group remained higher than that for all commodities up to and includ- ing the year 1874"

The U. S. Department of Labor, through the information and educa- tional service, is issuing the results of a study of prices during the war and readjustment period made by the Di- vision of Public Works and Construc- tion and Development. Discussing the Civil War period as a precedent for war prices, the report says:
 "A comparison of the course of prices during the Cicil War and the present war shows many points of similarity during the two war periods. The course of prices during the pres ent period of readjustment and the

FAMILY ALLOWANCE, COMPENSATION, AND
 INSURANCE IN NAVY

By far the most important legisla- tion enacted by Congress for the bene- fit of enlisted men, is the law which was approved October 6, 1917, provid- ing for family allowances, for com pensation in case of death or disabil- ity, and for insurance. Family allow ances are made to the wife, children under IS, for other dependents, to a mininum amount of $25 or not to exceed $50 a month. A compulsory allotment is made from the enlisted mans pay which shall not be more than one-half his wages or less than $15 a month. In case one-half of the enlisted mans pay is not sufficient, gratuitous allowance is made by the government to make up the difference, not to exceed $50 month in all. The family allowance is paid from the time of the mans enlistment to his death or discharge from the service, but not for more than one month after the termination of the present war.
 Compensation for death or disabil- ity is paid at the rate of $25 month to the widow, alone, and increased for each child until the age of IS is reached. In case of mans disabil- ity, monthly compensation paid to him varies from $30 with no wife or children living, to $75 if he has a wife and three or more children living. If he is totally disabled and so helpless as to be in need of nurse or attend ant, an additional sum not exceeding $20 month is allowed; and in certain instances where the injured man is totally blind or helpless or perma- nently bedridden, the compensation shall be $100 a month. A generous provision is made by the government to restore injured men to a condition by re-education and vocational train ing whereby they may earn a liveli- hood; and while men are undergoing such course, if they are not self-sup- porting meanwhile, form of enlist ment may be entered into, whereby the injured man may remain in the naval service, entitled to full pay if actively performing duty, and their family allowance and allotments will continue in force.
 These compensations are in lieu of the death gratuities described else where; and also of pensions; but the retirement privileges are not affected.
 A plan of insurance is also provid- ed under the law, whereby enlisted men may voluntarily apply for insur- ance in amounts from $1 ,000 to $10,- 900, at net rates based upon the Amer ican Experience Table of Mortality, adopted by reputable insurance com panies. This insurance feature will continue in time of peace, and after the war, policies may be converted without medical examination into such (Continued on Page 15.)

nitely higher and more important than the small amount of money involved which you think you could save by waiting. Some men put off the day of salvation, expecting to attend to it on their death-bed; but not many ever succeed in doing it at that hour. Do it now, and do it with all your might should be the motto of every man in America who expects to do any con- struction work in the near future. Do it now and thus do your part toward individual and national business saliva tion-and even more. Procrastination is more than the thief of time; it is the murderer of opportunity. Rich ard H.

cleaning plant, who received a brok-
en- jaw when knocked down by a
thug on South E street last Friday
evening, has been taken to st. Vim
cents hospital in Indianapolis where
he is undergoing special treatment.
Mr.. Chauncey was returning to his
home on South E near Eighth street
about $3.50 O'Clock when a man whom
he did not recognize, accosted him
and gave him severe blow on each
jaw. Mr.. Chauncey staggered to his
feet in time to see the man running
down the street. Chauncey had $40
on his person, but was not robbed
He believes something scared the
man away before he had time to
search him.
Although suffering greatly, Chaun.
cey reached his home few doors
away without help. The attack was
not reported to the police.
DR.. Charles Marvel, the attending
physician, advised Mr.. Chauncey tc
go to the Indianapolis hospital wher
the seriousness of the injury to his

Seuenteen-Year Locusts

States Depa rtment of Agriculture II
might well be supposed that the num-
erous loeusts would provide a feast
for the chicks and they do. but this
feast is not unattended with danger.
Serious losses may result from the
chicks eating too many of these in
sects. The wings and leg parts Of the
locusts seem to be quite indigestible,
and are likely to obstruct the outlet
of the crop in such way as to cause
the chicks to become crop bound.
Little chicks are not troubled be-
cause they are too small to tear apart
and eat the locusts. but chicks that
are more than four weeks old are
large enough 20 devour the locusts
and to have trouble as a result The
only feasible means of combating this
difficulty is to move the chicks. if
possible, to fields where there are
few trees and where the locusts in
consequence do not gather in numbers
Trouble also has been reported from

great numbers with considerable NOR.
