AMI as people quit buying anything

cot the money now to pay for such
things, prices are sure to settle down,
ID was Ute wild and unnecessary we
might ly almost foolish, craze for
spending money that sent prices up
ia the first place. 1t is the same
thing which has served to keep them
there But apparently the people
lave commenced to sober up and now
realize that the end Of such a carnival
is near. They are putting money in
the bank now, against the day when
a dollar will look a whole lot bigger
than it has at any time within the
past eighteen months. The tendency
to buy that which they do not need is
declining And now that they have
commenced to spend their money for
necessities, and to put the other away,

WAR COST 10000, 900 PEOPLE
tion Estimated by
Statistcians.

Washington, u. C.-Due to war in
fiuences, ten European nations en-
gagged in the world war show poten-
tial loss in population of 35,320, 900
persons since 1914, according TO a sta
tistieal research conducted by the So
ciety for Studying the Social Conse-
Quences Of the War, which has its
headquarters in Copenhagen.
AT the end of 1913, the society re-
ported these nations had population
of 400, 850,000, and under normal con-
ditions this population should have
increased by the middle of 1919 to
494, 10000. However, it had fallen by
that time TO S9,03O,O00. which led to
the conclusion by Danish statisticians
that the loss of actual and potential
human life in these nations approx
mated 100000.
Causes OF the abnormal falling off In
population were attributed in the so
ciety's report as follows:
y, Killed in war, 9,sl9O00; deaths due
to augmentation of mortality, economic
blockades and war epidemics, 5,301,-
600; fall in birth rate, due to mobiliza-
tion OF 56O0O,000 men between 20 and
45 years of age 20,200,000.

Sebastopol, Crimea.-One million

10000 more for a short cab ride and
at the close of the day was a bank

there is little to buy here.
The harbor is filled with idle and

There are no cargoes on the docks
street cars have been stopped because
Of the lack of coal, stores have no
stocks and streets are deserted except
for an occasional carriage, some
wounded soldiers or armed patrOlmen.
The only life here is on the beaches
at the park at the entrance to the har-
Dor. There bathers, for the most part
women and wounded officers and SOL
diers, pass the time when not reading
bulletins from the various south Rus
sian fronts at the official news bureau.
These bulletins afford depressed
Crimeans much encouragement. Most
women here have no hats, but wear
wells or kerchiefs about their heads.
Many are without stockings, but are
charming, nevertheless in bright, in
expensive gowns which they dignity

ian naval base has lost all its bril-

closed. The civilian population is
awaiting resumption Of export trade,
which is necessary to the exchange
situation and the restoration of nor

WAYS to Clean Books.

Speaking Of books, most family IL
braries are disfgured by one or two
once-lovely volumes in impractical
bindings Of pale silk or white leather,
long since dimmed by CRIME. Art gum
or soft kneaded eraser may clean
them. If aot, try fine powdered pumice
lightly applied with clean chamois.
This is what picture dealers use to
clean the margins of old prints. II

To clean Pewter.

An excellent way TO clean pewter
is to make paste of one ounce Of
soft soap, one ounce of rottenstone,
one ounce of ammonia and half a pint
of boiling water. Mix thoroughly and
keep in a covered jar. Rub a little
of this on the pewter and polish with
soft cloth dipped in whiting.

HARMONY IN BUILDING.

huge building cries out against the contour of its

individually and in the mass. but perceive that
the thrill Of appreciation that goes with instant
perception OF things beautiful is sadly lacking
item gives the key. Plans for $1O.-
100000 building TO be erected in London, for an
county council for approval and the architect has
stepped across the pond TO argue for this ideas.
Here is the point: The architect wants known by
London. and by the county council, that Somerset
house. which faces the Of the proposed build
ing has had great influence upon his plans, has
also FIshmongers' hall, at London bridge
IN other words he draws plans for business

already there. He doesn't take Somerset house and
how far above it he may pile his skyscraper.
He doesn't aim TO dwarf Somerset house. so that
the architectural beauty OF its design viii be

neghbor. He conforms TO the demands of unity, and
bows the placid command expressed in the grace

American cities are acquiring a consciousness OF
awkwardness and conviction of vulgarty. They
taking unto themselves coming commissions. but
as a rule the commissions struggle hopeessly
against purblind councils and unappreciative
mayors We lack the anchoring sense of stability
