COSTS
 IN GOTHAM ARE
 MOUNTING HIGH

NEW YORK.-The mother of an 18-year-old New York girl, who for several years has kept an account of the cost of her daughters ward robe, in a letter to local news paper, recently complained about these present prices of clothing, shoes, gloves, hats, etc. Some in teresting figures on what it costs to outfit young woman today, as compared with five years ago, are afforded by quotations from a num- Der of average priced local shops, as follows, the first figures being those for 1914, and the second those for 1919:
 Shoes, $5; SIP to SIS.
 Stockings (silD, $1.25 to $1.5o; $3.5O and up.
 Underwear, S3.5O to S5; $1O and up.
 Silk boomers, $25O; S6:5O.
 Undervest, $1 to $1.5O; $3.50 to $4.
 Petticoat (silk), s4 to S5; SIP to $15.
 Waist (georgette), s1O to $15; $25 and up.
 Suit (woolen), $75; $15O and up.
 Hat, $5; S25 and up.
 Fur neckpiece, $35 to $50; $125 and up.
 Muff, $50; s1O0 and up.
 Gloves, $1.5O; $4.
 Total, $193.75 to s217; $476.5o to $486 and up.
 The foregoing applies to what the regard as "moderate" wardrobe. Serges, formerly the cheapest and most common dress material, and which, before the war, could be bought for $l to $l.25 a yard, are now retailing at $4 to $5 for the same quality. Velveteens, another popular dress material, could be bought five years ago for $1 and $1.25 a yard, and now are bringing $4.50 to $6.50. The big gest advances, dealers say, have been in cotton and wool, and not so much in silk. Babies buckskin shoes, which normally sold at S3.50, are now priced at $7 to $9 pair.
 Many women of means, the re- tailers say, are paying as much as p-ou anu up TUT q paii oi Sih stockings, but these are beaded with pearls and are decorated with fine hand embroidery. The public de- mand for furs, in spite of the ad- vance of 50 to 75 percent since last spring, dealers say, is 50 per cent greater this winter than last season. Fur coats costing many of dollars are more in evidence than ever before in New York.
 An artist for New York fashion paper recently sketched a coat, suit, and dress at local factory, the combined wholesale price of which was $975. The coat, coarse wool fabric, was marked $375, the georg- cite dress at $275, and the suit at $325. Here were three garment which, sold at retail, would cost the buyer at least $1,500, it was said. Such instances in Fifth ave nue shops of how the high cost of living has hit the rich are by no means rare. One window displays q rose white blouse for $500.
 Untold millions are being in vested in furs this year by Ameri- can women," said J. w. Argen- bright, Brooklyn importer, land the demand is less exclusive and more widespread than even before, showing that prosperity is general. Coats costing from $50,OO0 to $85,- 900 are uncommon, but they are

ger" collie dog belonging to the j.
r. Long family proved that he loved

on earth and returned after several
weeks absence being almost 500 miles

few weeks it was believed that he
would never be seen again and no one
in the family dreamed of the dog ever
returning to Ordway. But on Mon
day Ranger arrived home, distance
of $50 miles from Dragon, Utah, ana
he was from sometime in February to

FIRE AT BAER MILL
SATURDAY MORNING

Bogalusa came near being thu
scene Of a serious fire last Saturday
morning, and for a few minutes Il
looked as though two hundred men
would be out of employment and q
property loss OF many thousands OF
dollar would result when fire broke
out in the fuel room of the Baer &
Thayer Hardwood Mill.
When the emergency whistle was
blown, the employees rushed to the
building and desperately fought the
flames for several minutes and got
the fire under control.
Both city fire trucks made great
runs to the blaze, but owing to the
distance and the condition of the
streets leading to the mill the fire
was out before the trucks arrive.
The amount of damage was not an

Complaints Made Of
New Parish Highway

During the past month a large
number Of prominent citizens of 30.
galusa have reported to The Enter.
prise that they are of the opinion
thaI the new parish roads are not be-
ing properly built. 1t is the concen-
sus OF opinion that not enough gravel
is Delng used, or too much sand in
stead of clay.
whether the specifications are be-
ing HVed up to, or whether an error
was made in the specifications is not
known, but all citizens realize that
unless these roads are as good as the
taxpayers expect, it will be several
years before another bond issue can
be floated and good road building
extended. .
Building of good roads is one of
the greatest needs of this community
and serious error in the present
contract will retard the development
OF this section possibly more than
any other factor. If you know any
thing about road building, take a
look at the new highway between b.
galusa and FraHklinton, and if you
know that it is not the right kind of
road, whether it be according to-
specifications or not, make the fact
known.
The Police Jury, in justice to the
contractors, as we'll as to themselves,
should at once make an investigation
and, II the work is not up to specifi-
cation, to see that the work is made
good. If the contract specifications
are being fulfilled. and mistake has
been made, to rectify same. If the
work is alright, then the reports
should be STOPPED.

Values Kiss at 7N Cents

Dear Cynthia-Tonight while clearing
dead matter from my files, I ran across
some mighty interesting data that might
be of use to some of your readers:
Some years ago. while still young and
somewhat foolish, I got to thinking OF
what kiss was really worth. Since
money Ia really a standard for compare :
to reduce kiss to this basis.
The method was simple, several fellows
obligingly kept rigid account of their
expenses while paying attentions to
girls. For my purpose period of three
months was taken as the time limit:
From data thus gathered | obtained
some rather interesting figures The
average value of a kiss is seven and one
half cents This Is an average figure.
| find in one case that an expenditure
of S34 was without results, and in sharp
contrast the remarkable sum of eighty
Ave cents netted some 800 kisses.
II was my original intention to chart
the data to cover classification of the
girls. that is. their ages, types. ma
tionalitles and religions. / found that 10
get fairly accurate results would call
for an extensive and lengthy series of
experiments that were entirely out of
proportion to the value of the data. Then
again / found that at certain point
in the experiment a fellow was often
averse to giving the facts In the case,
with these figures a fellow Is able to
Judge roughly whether his attendance on
girl is a paying proposition that is
whether or not he Is paying too great
price for these so desired commodities
Making allowance for the increase In
cost of other luXuries we might put a
figure of ten cents as the present market
value of a kiss. DE JURE.
