Washington, Aug. 2S.-wholesale and retail coasts of food and other commodities took an upward jump during the month of July, retail prices averaging a l per cent. increase, while wholesale prices registered a gain of about Ia per cent, as compared with June prices, the Department of Labor announced today.

 The tri-corne shapes are en- chanting. Pardon the adjective, but it's really appropriate here, for these new tri-cornes are repli- cas of the old Venetian things worn centuries ago; and somehow, modern as they are, they have an old-time look about them that is fascinating. They have falls of lace gathered around the head size (when they are designed for evening wear), but in the daytime they are seen with no other trim ming but a small cockade slapped up against the side of the crown. Extremely smart for the serge suit, or the more elaborate tail- leur.

RECOGNITION OF
 VOICE MAKES FOR
 PHONE CONFIDENCE

Historians delight in dwelling upon ne progress made by mankind during the past half century. To explain the radical changes in our social customs, our new standards of living and our improved business conditions there are theories galore. Few of them, however. are as sound or logical as that offered by Edward B. Craft, chief engineer of the Western Electric Co. MT. Craft looks upon the telephone as one of the greatest factors in aid Ing the much discussed forward movement of the past fifty years.
 'But for the perfection of the in- vention of that farseeing genius, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell" MT. Craft says, "the world might yet be in that stage where everything out of sight Is practically out of mind. Within the memory of most men the tele- phone has grown from an interesting novelty to become the important servant of each of us in the vocal ex- pression of ideas to individuals or au- diences located at distances over which earlier generations scarcely dreamed speech ever could be trans mitted and it is to this means of making all the universe neighbors that civilization owes much of its stimulus.
 'swe are arf thoroughly familiar with the fact that we are living in an economic world which is based on credit and mutual trust. In many instances business dealings are con summated as the result of a word spoken into a long distance telephone system which carries from one city to another, from one individual to another, a contract to buy or sell Such f1exibility and speed in business transactions is made possible by the fact that the telephone serves to transmit not only the speech content and meaning of the speaker, but also all those peculiarities Of voice and information which are characteristic ot the individual speaker and which would be observed by an auditor in a direct conversation.
 ''This power of reproducing in the ueighborhood of a listener the char acteristic tones and infections of 8 distant speaker is the telephones marvellous contribution to our socia ufs. We all know how the finer meanings of speech are inevitably conveyed by the infection of the hu man voice. The same words may represent widely different shades ot meanings. Our most usual methoc of recognizing and evaluating word: depends upon vocal sounds which are not in themselves essential to audi ton or to the intelligibility of tht speech. With an improperly con structed telephone system human speech might be as impersonal an6 as devoid of finer infections as thu typewritten telegraph message.
 '"This capability of transnittins over long distances the full meanin' of words the Western Electric Chic Engineer declares in conclusion, 'i what has made the telephone such al important influence in drawing to gether into closer aggregation tn hundred million individuals who peo ple our widespread country"
