the war. OF course, people can't live on sugar.
but it is a fact, nevertheless, that sugar is one
of the basic products that enters into the cost
of living.
When it is realized that a year or two ago
sugar was selling at anywhere from twenty-five
to thirty cents a pound. and hard to get at that,
we begin to get some idea Of how prices have
fallen. While other living costs have not come
down anywhere near as much as sugar, the fact
remains that the cost of living is much below
what it was a year ago.
There is much significance In the fact that
in this economic upheaval the cost of living
came down before wages. Heretofore In all
such establishments the average man found his
wages reduced first while the cost of things
responded more slowly. The man who Still
insists on wartime wages because OF the hisn
cost of living hasn't much of an argument these
days.
1t is exceptionally gratifying to find sugar at
four and three-quarters cents a pound at this
particular time of the year when the canning
season is Just upon us. This ought to heip
greatly in reducing the cost of living next
winter.

HOT WEATHER PROFTTEERS.

In Chicago it was found that the dealers were

for hot weather commodities costing not more
than $3.50 entire, including the froth on the
glass and the spoon in the dish. 1t IL a form

LOGICAL TIME TO BUY.

While the Board of Aldermen are considering
the proposition to buy the Meredith property
at the foot of Market street it would be well
to bear in mind the fact that should they turn
down the offer now before them and the prop
erty pass into other hands, 1t is more than
likely that the new owners of the Meredith
tract ~wouldinsist that Market street be opened
between Water and Front streets. While the
grade may be too steep for vehicular traf1c'
nevertheless it would have to be opened Tor
such traffic as could use it.
Market street today is curbed off along water

A NEW IDEA FOR EDUCATION
By Frederic j. Haskin.

D. c., July 11.-A man mas
arisen in the Middle West with a new loea
concerning the teaching of the exact scenes " f
engineering who Is attracting the attehtion :.
educators all over the United states ana :"
centers Of learning abroad. He mas no epo1ri,
making method of supplying brains to dull
students. or filling their minds with knoWieuSe
that will stick regardless OF the stuuenls
capacity, but he has worked out a systeni
whereby his school is turning out petter siau
uate engineers. .oarirc
This man is A.. A. Potter, Dean of Engineering
at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Ihat
the benefit of his system is appreciated ny youms

bv the enrolment IN the Engineering ocnool o.
Purdue. In the college year just closed thsrs
were 1.S45 Students. ranking the schooi tniro
among institutions of it's kind In the uniteo
States in point of numbers.
Summed up, what Dean Potter Is seeking anu
getting is to make competent professional men
interest at high pitch; to see that his time -
spent where he can best excel.
When a student takes up the englneerins
course at Purdue it is soon ascertalned Whesner
he knows how to study and memorlze ellec-
lively, If he does not, 1t is the nrst thlns ne

is set forth, to pick out the essentials OF a stuuy

will be clear and practical to him always;
After he has been at work for two or three
months in his first year the engineering stuoent
has his character inventoried by nve OF ms
fellow students and two of his teachers. ihis

UNLUCKY DAYS

Some days the luck is all against
us; misfortune with barbed wire mas
fenced us. At early morn we leave
our couches. and feel possessed OF
sgrevious ~grouches; we step upon a
tack on rising. and hand out langu-
age most surprising, such adtectives
as start pink blisters upon the ear
drums of our sisters. We do no smil-
ing and no joking: the breakfasts
late, the stove is smoking; the soft
boiled eggs are hard as thunder. the
biscuits are an asphalt wonder. And
when we leave our homes. proceed
ing to daily tasks, our bosoms bleed
ing, our bald and beastly luck con-
tinues: we fall a block and sprain
bme sinews: an auto hits us with its
fender and lea es us bruised ana sore
and tender; and all the bores we have
been stunning come round US now,
and come a-running; and oon we
note with ire and loathEg that rain
has spoiled u new spring clothing;
and bill collectors sternly a us,
and threaten they will u and jail
US. We meet all accidents that bore
most. and everything is hind enc
foremost. You've known such days,
and did you weaken and let the briny
tears start leakin'? Or did you rear
on end serenely, with grace and dig
nifty most queenly. and say, Though
fate be raw and clammy. I'll show
that I am Sunny Sammy"

VACATIONS
By DIR. W. e. BARTON

Some Of them succeed in having q
good time. Others merely try hard.
Vacations do not do US all the
good they should. Many people
need to rest up afterward to get over
the effects of their vacation.
It will do little good. probably, to
advise them. If they think they are
resting when they burn large guam
titles of gasoline and burn up the
public highway. the good they obtain
is largely in proportion to what they
think they are getting.
Might Read Book.
But a summe outing might be
made more profitable than 1t Is to
some people.
It might be the time for the read.
ing of a really good book; the time
for some genuinely bodybuilding
recreation; the time for the storing
away of vital energy for months to
come.
But if people think they get moro
out of their summer in the rushing,
hysterical way in which some OF
them rest, it is no purpose Of mine
to take any OF the Joy out of their
life by telling them they are mis-.
taken.

The annual vacation has come to
be a marked feature of modern life.
Are you going away this sum
mer is a question which is asked
of everyone, except Of those who are
known 10 be going away.
Perhaps statistics would show
that a minority of the people in the
United States really go away for
vacation.
Perhaps If we were able to take a
census in the summer months when
we are accustomed to hear h a
"everybody's out OF town" we should
learn that the town has in 1t nearly
as many people as usual.
Perhaps it would surprise US and
maybe do us good to. learn how
many people keep steadily on the
job while others go away.
What They Dc.
Nevertheless, the summer outing
Is with us, and 1t has the grip upon
an increasing number of people.
They splash in the water, they
motor along country roads, and they
do a variety of things somewhat dit
ferent from what they are accus-
toned to do. and they try hard to
have a good time.
