CHRISTMAS PRICES IN
...-. ENGLAND REMAIN HIGH

London, Dec. 10. (By mail to
United Press.)-The third Christmas
since the piping days Of peace finds
poor pa still paying the piper.
A survey of the shops, aristro-
cratic and democratic, proves that
priceA remain in pretty much the
same places as they were last year.
Such things as dolls houses, dolls
perambulators, childrep's tricycles
and scooters are priced just as high
as in 1919, which means that for
the ordinary citizens they are out Of
reach.
Numbers of German toys have been
imported, but these are of the SMALL
er variety, such as clockwork engines,
motor-cars, etc. However, they are
finding a ready sale, for Britain has
not yet learned to compete with Ger
many in the matter of price. There
is small doubt but that Germany will
reap a goodly harvest from what the
British child calls stocking pre-
nts'-comprising all the small
things which give those exciting bull
ges from the toe to the knee OF the
stockings which Santa Claus so kind
ly fills each year.
The Christmas trees, too, will be
bedizened with frost and sparkling
ornaments which hail mostly from
Germany.
For the most part, parents here
seem to satisfy themselves with the
knowledge that the war is over and
are buying indiscriminatingly with
out looking at trademarks, just the
things which they know will gladden.
theshearts of the tiny tots at Christ
mas-time.
hi other commodities there is a
perceptfble drop. The buyer of a
big fur store told the United Press
that this years prices for furs are
a great improvement over last years.
The most marked decrease in prices
shows in all classes of boots and
shoes. The salesman in a big boot
store, known equally we'll on both
sides of the Atlantic, said that some
Of his goods had come down as much
as 100 per cent, and that he had not
a single pair of boots in his store
which had not dropped at least $500

that there would be a further de-
crease.

In the same way the name
of Volta. another LATHAM,
who developed: the first sue
cessful electric battery, is
used to designate "Voltage,
which is:
The electrical pressure
which sends electric current
through a wire; just as
"pressure" designates the
force which sends water
through a pipe. Thus a 80

differs from a "120-volt". cur
rent of electricity as a 15-
pound water pressure differs

Water-is trans m j t t ed
through hollow pipes; cleo
trio energy through SOLID
wires. Water runs through
the hole in the pipe, the out
side of which confines and
presents the loss of the wa.

electrical energy the copper
core of the wire corresponds
to the "hole" in the pipe, and
the, insulation corresponds to
the pipe itself, combining and
preventing the escape OF
