War Cost IS, 900. 900 Lives.

The total cost of the World war in
lives has reached the appalling figure
of $780, 600 according to final esti-
mates by the Copenhagen society for
the study of the consequences of the
war. These figures were reached after
an exhaustive study of the decrease in
the birth rates of the countries in
volved, as well as increase in deaths
from causes directly attributed to the
war.
Actual military deaths in killed
totaled 1929, 900, according to the re-
port. Each European nation involved
lost the equivalent of 8.S per cent. of
its population from all causes. Each
nations actual killed equaied 25 per
cent. of its population.
Serbia was the heaviest sufferer of
all the nations involved in the war.

PRICE TREND DOWNWARD
ON CLOTHING AND SHOES

Prices of wearing apparel, which
showed an upward tendency during the
World war and have continued to climb
since the cessation of hostilities, appear
to have reached the peak and now are
beginning to seek lower level.
Leading leather men Of the country
at the annual spring meeting of the
Tanners Council of the United States
in Atlantic City, N. j., declared that
leather used in the manufacture of
shoes has reached it's maximum figure.
1t was asserted, however, that it will
take three or four months before the
consumer begins to enjoy the reduction.
A drop throughout the textile mar
ket is foreshadowed in sale of
5000, 600 yards Of silk in Chicago at
reductions of from so cents to 81 a
yard. 1t is held this makes silks
relatively cheaper than cotton goods,
which fact. it is predicted, will force
an early slashing in cotton prices.
Eleven hundred milliners in session
in Mem York city decided against a
boost in the price of summer hats.
The mlliners made no mention of
prices of autumn headwear.
The heaviest cut in prices has been
in the clothing market. In Topeka.
Kan, an established clothing house has
announced it will sell mems suits for
period of "a days without profit to
the store. The sale will be checked
by the State fair price commission.
In New York and Philadelphia, large
department stores have announced a
reduction of 20 per cent. in all goods,
including shoes, clothing, and other
necessities. Their sales, it is asserted,
are eclipsing all former holiday rec
ords. The theory of the sales, it is
stated, is that the creation of greater
den and will force production from an
easy walk into a stiff trot, with the
result that production in volume will be
cheaper and hence all prices will come
down. Already it is announced whole
salers are quoting lower prices, in an
effort to cooperate with retail mer-
chants.

DROP IN PRICES.

1t does not follow that because
Mr.. Ford has marked down the
prices of his cars to what they
were before the war without
making any reduction in the
wages of his employees, all other
manufacturers can do likewise.
Mr.. Ford may have had a wider
margin of profit before the war
than other manufacturers, and
it may be that he has not in
creased the wages of his en-
ployes since the beginning of the
war as much as other manufact-
urers have. But the action of
Mr.. Ford is very likely, neverthe-
less, to add something to the
force of the influences which are
bI'ingino prices down. If other
manufacturers can not reduce
their prices to the degree that he
has. they must be made to feel,
by his action, that it is unwise
and futile to resist those influen-
ces. Mr.. Ford's example strenth-
ems the reasons for believing
that present prices are swollen
with inordinate profits, and any
thing with inordinate profits,
and anything which reinforces
that popular belief makes for a
reduction of prices. Mr.. Ford
admits that. even at the lower
prices he can make a profit. He
says progress, prosperity and
contentment will quickly follow
a restoration of pre-war condi-
tions of business. Pre-war con-
ditions of business are probably
not restorable; nor would the re-
stOration of them be desirable in
all cases, even if it were possible.
Normal prices of everything,
commodities. services and labor.
are apt to be higher in the fut-
IRE than the normal prices of the
past immediately preceding the
war. But to get prices down to
a level which shall be regarded
as normal will undoubtedly re
beneficial to the country in
every wav. 1t is a sense of
uncertainty that is doing the
damage just now.-Lewiston
Tribune.

Good ideas are invaluable, but
