 NEW YORK, Jan. 15-The cost of ilving decreased 5.6 per cent from July 70 November and the decline was Drought about by drops in the average prices of important food and cldhing aFticles so great as to offest concur Tent Increases in other items, the Ma xional Industrial Conference board re- ported today. This four months de- crease, however, left the cost of living Higher than in July, 1914 by the fol- lowing percentages: Clothing. 12S; fuel and light. 100; food, 9S; sundries. Ss; shelter. 66.
 ing expenses from last July, said by tho board to be the peak of high prices to November, followed .steady rise which began in 1914, it was explained, except for 3 per cent drop in the four months period imme- diately after the armistice.
 -The average price of food dropped nearly 12 per cent" the report said but the average price of potatoes dropped 6S per cent and sugar 51 per cent. Eggs rose 51 per cent.
 'The drop in clothing prices was over IA per cent, but average prices of many items fell more Cotton yard goods dropped 26 to 43 per cent Hos iery, mems shirts, womens blouses. muslin underwear and mems coats fell 20 to 25 per cent. Shoes. mems and women's suits and women's coats. un- derwear and hats decreased less than 20 per cent Cloves scarcely changed. Other items increased but not enough to offset the decline in food and clothing. According to figures furnished by 151 coal dealers in DO cities, the average price of coal con- tinued to advance except in New York and four other eastern cities where b;tumtnous coal dropped somewhat In those places the average cost of an thracite increased 10 per cent or more andNin number of cities the advance was 20 per cont or more.
 Increases in the cost of gas were considerably less than the rise in the cost of coal. although number of i'm portant rate increases were noted. In Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, the in crease was 90 per cent, no change be- lng reported from many of the largest cities.
 "The average cost of electricity fol domestic use decreased in five east ern and central western cities.
 Rent increases continued to appear but were less sensational, and for tho first time in many months decrease: were reported. Detroit, Lansing anc Flint, Mich: Akron, O., and Elkhart Ind, reported a falling off up to 2l per cent in some cases. The largest advances noted were m Sacramento Calif.. and Dillingham;, Wash, where the rise was somewhere between 31 and 70 per cent
 -The average cost of all sundries rose slightly between July and Mo- vember. Rate increases were allowed traction companies in important cen ters such as Portland, Ore, and small CT places. Practically no decreases in car fares were reported. Church orr Eanization budgets were increased. No table decreases were reported in the cost of furniture. house furnishings and supplies"

 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Recalied to London for the announced purpose of consulting with Premier Lloyd George and Earl Curzon. secretary of state for foreign affairs, Sir. Auckland Geddes quietly slipped away last night and sailed today from New York for Eng land. He was accompanied only by H. V. Tennant, his private secretary. Lady Geddes remained with the chill dren. bearing out the embassy state ment that according to present inten- ton the ambassador will return next month.
 It is understood there are several subjects to receive earnest discussion in London and it is said to be regarded as essential that Sir Auckland be given the benefit of the fullest disclosure of the views of the home officials before Inc undertakes to establish formal com Inunications with tho incoming admin istration here. Some matters receiv- ing close attention by the British au- thorities. 1t Is understood, probably will be made the subjects of express instructions from the foreign office In London.
 Among these Is the project to free American ships passing through the Panama canal from tolls. The British government had believed this matter finally disposed of early fin the Wilson administration. but now that tho Re- publican party platform and the utter ances of Presidcnt-sicct Harding have indicated & purpose ot renew the ef- fort to secure such provision for Amer ican ships. it is regarded as possible that the British government will feel called upon to protest against any such invasion of what 1t has regarded as pledged treaty rights.

 Another subject for negotiation is the refunding or conversion of tho British war debt to America Lord Chalmers who was about to come to Washington. to arrange this with the treasury department. has postponed his visit in view of Ambassador Geddes' absence
 Finally, it is believed, to be probable that the Britishspremier wishes to ae- quaint himself with the trend of pub He opinion in America regarding the naval programs and the Irish question.

Forests in Bohemia.

In the Bohemia lands (Bohemia.
Moravia and Silesia) the needle for
ests predominant The pines and frs
cover 7S per cent of the forest area,
the leaf timber 81 per cent, and the
mixed about 1913 per cent. In Slova-
kia and Carpathian Russia, the new
territories, it Is noteworthy that the
leaf forests prevail, forming about 61
per cent of the whole. and the needle
forests make up the balance, or 81
per cent Ownership of these forests
Is singular. The state owns about L.
100000 acres, charitable institutions
own 100000 acres, municipalities hold
2,500,O0O acres and the large estates,
held by private owners, cover S,OOO,-
900 acres. 1t must not be taken for
granted that the extensive Czechoslo-
yak forests were given over to the
use of the whole people. On the con-
trary, all the benefits to be derived
enured to the foreign nobility and the
wealthy owners, when the mere walk
ing through one of these private for
ests was presumptive evidence of a
wrongful intent. OF the vast estates
held by individuals about 64.35 per
cent of the whole in Bohemia were
owned in parcels larger than 1850
acres in extent, while minor holdings,
those less than 1850 acres in area,
were held by the poorer classes.

REMARKABLE CLOCK.

An Illinois artisan, formerly a
master clock builder and instructor,
has, after five years effort, produced
an unusual astronomical clock in
which the earth is illuminated by
phosphorescent rays from the sun
and moon, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. By means of correctly
designed pinions the miniature earth
is made to revolve 365H times while
making one circuit of the sun and,
rs it is tilted at 231a degree angle,
the seasonal changes are plainly
shown. The moon makes the circuit
Of the earth in exactly the right
time, keeping one side earthward
continuously and going through all
the phases and eelipses. A large
dial above the regulation clock dial
keeps accurate track of the seasons,
months, days and hours.
