RUMANIA IS TRYING TO

Bucharest, June 29.-Rumania is
being swept by vast wave of spec
ulation, the object of which is to ov-
ercOne the high cost of living, which
harnesses the richest ana poorest
alike. The primary cause of the ad-
vanced price of necessities is found in
the fact that all manufactured pro-
ducts have to be imported, whereas
there is sufficient amount of food
grown in the country to support the
population and this food has not risen
in proportion of dress goods.
The cost of living in Rumania has
been the occasion of many strikes, but
in every other country in Europe peo-
pie seem to find unexplained ways of
buying fine clothes and keeping them
selves well dressed. s
