PRICES WILL DROP in FALL
Let-up In Luxury Buying VIII Cause
Wholesale PrIbes to Be Reduced.

Wasbington.-A general reduction
in retail prices of foods emo clothing
is forecast for this fall by government
price experts here. Economic cOndi'
lions now seem to indicate war tnfla-
ton is subsiding.
Wholesale prices dropped an aver
age of slightly more than / per cent
in the past 80 days, labor department
reports showed. Meats, fish and vege'
tables now are stored in quantities
far greater than one year ago.
Bumper crops of wheat and other
cereals are in prospect, In fact, are
partially harvested in the southwest,
and farm labor Is plentiful except in
few sections.
Luxury tax receipts are falling oft,
showing the stampede has stopped at
stores selling Injuries, including au'
tomobiles, diamonds and extravagant
clothing. Reduction in luxury buying
is a certain indication, government
officials say, that the national wave
of extravaganza has passed. Extrav'
agant buying was blamed for high
prices by officials, who say 1t brought
ON profiteering. An end OF luxury
buying means "exit the profiteers,
officials say. Diamond importations
have dropped off more than 20 per
cent. Reduction of purchases by
Americans Is blamed in part for the
strike of 900 cutters recently in Ant
werp. The men struck because their
hours were reduced, they said. The
employers said this was necessary be-
cause business had dropped off, &C
cording to reports to the commerce
department.

lnventor al the Letter.Box.

The inventor Of the letter-bOx was
Anthony Trollope, the novelist, who
was a surveyor Of the post Office, In
England, from 1941 to his retirement
from the service in 1857. One sure
way Of arousing TrOilope's Ire was to
suggest that he neglected his post
office work for the sake Of his novels.
He took, as a matter of fact, an In
tense pride in his official work, or, as
he put 1t, he had passion for letters.
In his autobiography he enumerated
various benefits for which the public
had cause to be grateful to him. First
came the arrangement by which the
people living in little villages could
buy postage stamps; secondly, the free
and early rural delivery, and the put
ting up Of pillar or acknowledging
boxes. OF that accommodation he
says: 'In the streets and ways OF
England was the originator having,
however, got the authority for the
erection of the first at st. Heller, in
Jersey"
