SWEEPING WAVE
 0FSPECULATI0N
 HITS RUMANIA

BUCHAREST, July 10 (by Associat- ed Press) ).-Rumania is being swept with vast wave of speculation, the object of which is to overcome the thigh cost of living, which harasses the richest and poorest alike The primary cause of the advanced price of necessities is found in the fact that all manufactured products have to be imported whereas there is suffi- cient 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 as in every other country in Europe, people seem to find unexplained ways of buying fine clothes and keeping themselves dressed.
 The wealthy women of this country make bi-annual trips to Paris and re- turn with their trunks filled with shoes and silk stockings and dresses of the latest fashion, which they bring into the country despite the prohibition against the importation of such articles and also twenty-five percent customs duty which is paid when special permission is obtained to bring in goods. When such per mission is not obtained the goods are smuggled = in automobiles over the frontiers.
 Princess Elizabeth went to Paris last winter and bought herself three huge trunks full of new clothes, but arrived home heart-broken. While passing through Jugo-Slavia during the customs examination, the trunks were stolen.
 The American Red Cross has con- tributed to the clothing of a good many thousands of people in Rumania. Some of this clothing found it's way to the shops. It is not uncommon to find women who have converted American army shirts into skirts, first dyeing them another color. Blankets have also been used for the making of cloaks and overcoats.
 The American shoe is practically the only article to be found in the shops These shoes sell at price of $4 to S8, cheaper than in the United States. Prices of clothing have been increased about tenfold, as compared with before the war. Wom- ems dresses which formerly cost $200.
 The actors and actresses are still Snderpaid Rumania's greatest com- edy actress, Mme. Marie Giurgct, re- ceives 5000 lei per month, or half the price of an expensive dress. Music hall artists receive 20 to 50 lei day. It is difficult for them to live in side lines, such as in the moving pictures industry, which has not yet developed in Rumania.
 Cabinet members are practically the only ones who nave not had thelr salaries raised. They still receive the equivalent of about $2O0 year. The former minister of the interior, Mich Olas Lupu, was nearly bankrupted on ore occasion when he was compelled to buy silk hat to appear at royal ceremony.
