COMMENT UPON
RETAIL PRICES
Dependable Information Is Hard ia
Seeure-3Prc. War Prices Defin.
Cd In Central Trust Report.

In very interesting review of
the retail price situation, the Cen
trail Trust company of Chicago
makes the comment in a circular
just issued that it is manifestly
impossible to get together the same
dependable information on average
retail prices that can be compiled
on average Wholesale prices. Re
tail prices differ greatly on the
same article in the same city. I'VE
have found" says the review, in
stances where standard brand No.
l bacon sold at AZ cents per pound
and Is cents per pound in different
markets few miles apart in the
same city.
THE selling price depends upon
the class Of store, the kind OF serv-
ice, the form of delivery if any,
and the question of cash or
charge"
FOOdstuffs Drop.
The bulletin notes that at retail
the price decline is not yet well
spread. Retail prices are said to
be somewhat lower on about hall
the things, while on the other hall
they have not yet started down
ward. The great declines at retail
have been in foodstuffs, all o.
which are considerably cheaper
than they were a year ago.
1t is claimed that the presen
movement downward from the higi
point began in the late days o
August, 1919, became apparent t.
most people about June, 1929, be
came acute about November, 1926
and the precipitate drop ende'
about March, 1921.

i "Pre. War" Prices.
The question as to what pre-
war" prices actually were is rails
ed.
It Is affirmed that the prices pre-
: vailing in 1917 were not pre-wa
: prices. 'Pre-war prices" says tn
bulletin, "as officially recognize
by the United States government
are the average prices for the yea
: 1913, which were Just per cen
lower than the average prices 70
the year 1914, but which were 6
: per cent lower than the averag
: prices for the year 1917"
Consumers would be intereste
in perusing the long list of article
on which heavy" considerable
and some" reductions in reta
prices may be expected, and if the
care to consult the deductions an
conclusions of the bulletin it ca
doubtless be secured from the Ger
; trail Trust by application for a cop
of its special report. on the reta
price outlook.

NEWS NOTES FROM
 AMERICAN LEGION

Two hundred and fifty members of the American Legion, headed by Franklin D'Olier, former national commander, and representing every state and every branch of service, will sail for France August 8 on a pill grimage to the former battle zone of the world war.
 The pilgrimage is at the instance of President Millerand, who on behalf of the French Government, invited the American Legion to send a represen- tative delegation of former service men to attend the unveiling of the Flirey monument and to participate in a series of events planned especially for the Americans.
 The Flirey monument at Flirey, France, is a tribute of the citizens of that town and Lorraine to the valor of the American troops who delivered their soil from German occupation. F'lirey is in the old Foul sector and once was the regimental headquarters of several American divisions.
 A replica of the Flirey monument was presented recently to President Harding by Ambassador Jusserand, who at the same time transmitted President Millerand's invitation to the American Legion through it's national commander, John G. Emery. Because of stress of Legion matters in this country, MT. Emery will not go to France with the Pilgrimage, having selected MT. D'Olier for the leader ship.
 A trial trip of the American Legion" the new 21,0O0-ton twin screw passenger-cargo liner of the Munson Lines, was the occasion for gathering of American Legion of ficials from Eastern States. The trip lasted two days. It started from Camden, N. J., and ended in New York. The ship was built for the United States Shipping Board by the New York Ship Building Corporation. It was dllOCdIcu Io tilS muhSoh AhS for service between New York and South America.
 The 25O members of the American Legion who tour France this summer as guests of the French Government will visit the battle-scarred town of St. Die, we'll known to Americans who served on the old ,Luneville front. Not many of the defenders of St. Die knew at the time that they were de- lending the house in which America got it's name. In St. Die lived the Alsatian monk, Waldsee- Muller, whose suggestion it was that the Western Continent take the name, of the navigator, Amerigo Vespucci. - rr, x x , w&
 Marshal Foch, who is coming to the United States this fall to attend the national convention of the American Legion at Kansas City, will meet the American Legion delegation in France this summer. If possible he will re- ceive the Legionnaires in the old house in whie hhe was born. The house is in the Pyrennes and the Legion men will mark it with mem- orial tablet.

tsThe Father of Jests"

'The Father of Jests" is Joseph Miller, an English comedian, who was born in 1884 and died at London in 173S. The collection of jests known as "Joe Miller's Jests" appeared orig inally in 1739 as "Joe Miller's Jest Book, or the Wits Wade Mecum, etc." It was made by John Motley and re- ceived its name unwarrantably from Joseph Miller. It was popularly said that Joe Miller never made up joke in his life and could neither read or write. Most stale jests are now known as "Joe Miller" from the fact that it is supposed to have at some time emanated from this source. .''*. .
