however, is by far the most strenuous test of ability that has fallen to the lot of any prosecutor in many day.
 The numerous details of the case, abounding in suggestions of medieval witchcraft - evil spirits" carved daSgers and mysterious potions, with its overwhelmingly rapid develop ments, have kept Prosecutor Stanton 'on the job" night and day.
 A good nights rest and regular meals mean nothing to Edward c. Stanton when following a clue.
 Rather under medium height slight figure, sandy-bI own hair, blue gray eyes that seem always to see the truth, a remarkable store of good humor, and a firm, determined jaw, giving evidence of his grit and stick to-it-ivness,'' there's a thumb-nail DOT trait of the prosecutor.

p RICES REMAIN AT PEAK IN
 FRANCE
High Cost of Labor Injures B ui l d i n g Enterprises France Only Nation Unaf- fected by Post War Rever- sion to Pre-War Status.

Paris, June 2S.---High cost of labor IS one of the principal fa ctors which is keeping the cost of living in France at almost the maximum point at tained after the war, while other countries are reporting perceptibIe de creases.
 In not a single important industry in France has there been any wage reduction since the war. nor is there likely to be for at least another six months. On the contrary, salaries are still on the increase in some indus triess with consequent increases in the cost of manufactured commodities.
 Several attempts have been mad by big mauufa cturers. notably in the automobile industry, to negotiate wage decreases with their employees on the lines of those recently agreed to in the United States and in Bel gium. In each instance the labor leaders have refused to enter into any negotiations and have insisted on a revision of the wage scale upward, if any revision at all is made.
 Labor holds the situation well in hand at present, because labor is in big demand and labor leaders know it While England is confronted with a grave problem of unemp1oyme ent French workers have had no difficulty at all getting jobs since the war, and for that reason they are not at all disposed to accept any salary cuts, whatever the arguments advanced by the employers.
 In B6lSlu1n a serious effOrC IS DelnS made to bring down wages as a first step in lower cost of living, and the Government has achieved some re- suits. Each month an index list reporting variations In prices of the chief elements entering into the cost of living, is published. and manufac- turers and workmen are invited to discuss wages on the basis of these lists. The laborers have consented to some reductions, though they have es- tablished as a principle that in no case shall their wages drop below those earned in 1914. and that in every case they must earn more in an eight-hour day than they earned in ten-h our day in 1914.
 The high cost of labor in France has made it's effect felt largely in the building industries. Many new man ufacturing plants have been set up since the war, but the erection of dwellings and business houses has been carried out on a very limited

 For the first time in it's long and picturesque history ''the curb'' to quote one of its chief officials. twill will find shelter within it's own four waI1s.''

 Already the executive offices of the association have been installed and although the financial district is pass ing through a period Of postwar de- pression the guiding spirits of the curb believe the new headquarters will mark the beginning of a new and prosperous career.
 Of the entire membership as now nstituted-variously estimated at 400 to 600-almost 25 per cent of the old guard of veteran members have threatened to hold aloof and continue their operations in the road way of Broad Street.
 This faction may find itself baked, however, by the attitude of the city authorities. The police long ago found it necessary to "corralF the members within an irregular square because their increasing numbers ob- structed street traffic.
 Among the members of the Curb Association -s-e a number of men more or less directly connected with the Big Board" as the Stock Ex- change is known in the Wall Street vernacular.

 Cholera exists pretty much all the time in India, especially in the Delta of the Ganges, where the Mohamme- dan faithful are prone to bathe in that sacred river" At intervals it becomes epidemic in various 1ocah- ties, in Southern China, in the Phil tppines and other oriental regions For many years it has been a pretty regular Spring visitor in Russia, where it is called by the peasantry the Asi- atic guest. It's term is the cholera vfbrio; and like typhoid fever, it is an indigestion infection, contracted only by taking in contaminated food and drink.
 Here are the saitary precautions that should be used during an epi- demic: All persons affected. and their attendants, are isolated; strict quarantine of infected districts and houses is observed; all a,ccumulations of filth and ezrcreta are disinfected and removed; the bodies of those who have died of Asiatic cholera are ere mated; water supplies are guarded to prevent further contanination; all the drinking water is boiled before it is used; and the patient is protected from flies by means of screens.
