Washington Unattended and with
out the knowledge of the public, Eu-
gene V. Debs, imprisoned socialist
leader, came to Washington from At
lanta penitentiary and for three
hours discussed his case with Attor-
ney general Daugherty. The unprece-
denied trip OF Mr.. Debs was made
with the approval of President Hard
ing, who recently requested Mr..
Daugherty to review the case of the
socialist leader and make a recon-
mendaton on it,
The attorney general in announc-
ing that Debs had visited Washington
and was on his way back to the At
lanta pententiary, said that while
there was no precedent for calling a
prisoner to Washington without
guard, it had been decided in confer
ence with President Harding that in
asmuch as Debs had defended himself
at his trial he should come here to
answer in person such inquiries as the
government desired to ask. Mr.,
added that he believed he
had the authority to place the pris-
oner on his honor and that he had as.
sumed full responsibility.

EXPECTED RETURN
TO STABLE PRICES.
CHICAGO EDITOR HAS GOTTEN
UP AN INFALLlBLE FORMULA
FOR CORRECT GUESSING.
TO REACH LOW LEVEL IN MAY
The New Average Level of Prices, Il
is Predicted, viii be 60 Per Cent
Higher Than in 1918.

Chlcago.-The bottom level of the
decline in the price of commodities
will be rachel in May, according to
Halbert p Gillette, editor of Engi-
neering and Contracting.
Gillette has devised a mathematical
formula For determining the average
price of commodities and predicting
prices several years in advance.
Gillette's formula gives the index
or average price Of commodities. His
method involves the use of only five
variable factors, the data for every
one of which may be found in the sta
tistical abstract of the United States
census.
Hence ii is a demonstrable form
ula, which has had added confirma-
ton by the fact that nearly year
ago he did predict the prices which
are now prevailing.
Through systematic study of the
per capita production, bank deposits
and clearings, labor, wages and COM
modities during 10 years, Gillette pre-
diets:
That good times are near at hand
That the lowest point in the slump
in prices will be reached in May,
That the new average level Of
prices will be so per cent higher than
1t was in 1913.
That the new average level of
wages will be 60 per cent higher
than il was in 1913
