\ Pretty Hat in
Italy Costs 400 Lire

Rome, Oct. 15.-Italian women are
complaining that, while prices for
food and clothing are steadily if
slowly decreasing in other countries,
in Italy they are still going up till
it is wonder where the money comes
from for all the charming frocks and
hats one sees.
In the good old days a pretty hat
could be bought in any Of the large
towns of Italy for from 25 to IS
lire; now anything from 12O to 400
lire is cheap. Woolen stuffs that
used to cost lire yard, now cannot
be bought for less than from 40 to 60
lire yard, and the quality is ques-
tionable at that. OF old q good pair
II walking shoes could be bought for
25 lire, now from 40 to $50 lire
are asked.
A good suit of clothes for a man
could be bought before the war for
from rs to 100 lire; a pair of good
shoes for from 25 to SO lire; hat
for 8 lire; and shirt for from 6 to
10 lire. Today the buyer would need
from 400 to $50 lire for the suit;
100 to 200 lire for the shoes; 46 70
$50 lire for the hat; and from 25
to 60 lire for each shirt. These
prices are bringing forth much pro-
test.
Articles of common food also have
increased in price four, five or even
six times what they were before the
war. Olive oil, which used to cost
under one lire quart, cannot now be
obtained for less than 10 lire; wine,
which cost 40 centimes a quart, is
row 4.20 lire; eggs, which cost from
one to two soldi each, now cost from
60 to 70 centimes; milk has advanced
from 40 centimes to 1.50 lire a quart,
md butter, once 1.50 lire pound,
has risen to 10 lire.

TWELVE MEN, with grave faces,
were met to decide an issue of life
death.
No burly criminal stood there to receive pun
ish1nent for his crirnes,-only little child, beg
ging for life.
Her sin was hunger and nakedness.
She trernbled, and almost fell, as she stretched
out thin, bare arms in supplication.
"Hunger!-Bread!" were the only words she
spoke
long time passed. while those men fought
to escape the verdict they must render. But then
the words carne
1--WE have not found anyone who will give
you bread, little girl. We have told great many
people about you, but they have given to many
other boys and girls that they tired Of giving
There is not enough bread, now, to go around
no, not even crust. We very sorry, dear
little girl, but-uOe must let you die. :
A cruel jest? No! A cruel fact, multiplied
thousands upon thousands Of times! IF only one
such pleading child were condemned to die be-
cause we are stired of giving it would be enough
to blanch the cheeks of every and woman
who reads this page. But upon many thousands
of boys and girls the sentence of death has just
been passed.
In Armenia Christian race is being blotted
out-whi1e the world looks on. In Armenia peace
did not come when the rest of the world stopped
fighting. Last year 14O villages were destroyed;
thousands of mothers and grown daughters
violated and slain; fathers herded into build
ings and burned; multitudes of orphaned children
were driven into the wilderness to wander and
die, unless perchance, they might be gathered,
like lost lambs, into folds of safety by the Near
East Relief. Conditions are worse than at any
time since the arnistice. Frantic appeals for more
cover their naked bodies, for more hospitals and
over the cables to kind, generous America" the
hoped-for savior of Armenia.
And in the moment of this crisis when the
question of life death for unnunbered thousands
of children must be answered, the tender charity
of American mothers and fathers has begun to
fail Their answer to the multitude of little
orphans whose only sin is hunger, and nakedness,
and irnmeasurable grief, has been,-in December,
and January, and February and March-not
money, and more clothing, and more food but
less. And SO the cruel order has gone forth from
the offices of the Near East Relief to reduce all
expenditures twenty-five percent. Twenty-Five
children from every hundred now receiving
must be turned away. Among the many thou
sands whose walls of hunger and sickness, and
cold have not yet been answered, not one can
be satisfied
And now the cries of terror and dismay
reachinc America.

Country America will probably
ask concerning the classes of people
who are supporting the wet cam
paign. The situation, summed up,
is about as follows:
Few Americans, comparatively,
are out in the open fighting against
prohibition, although it is the truth
that many Americans in the cities
are enjoying the fruits of bootleg
work. Most of the captains and
lieutenants in the fight that is al
ready raging for a wet Congress, as
well as the rank and file, are foreign
born. There are millions Of them
who are bitterly against prohibition
and they and their wives and fam
lilies can be depended upon to go to
the polls this fall to vote for the
fright" candidates.
"The question is: Does Country
America care enough about prohibit
ton to put up the stiffest kind of a
fight to nip in the bud this first des-
.perate effort to nullify part of the
constitutional law of the land?
The answer is due on the night OF
November Z.

GREAT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
PLANNED FOR UNITED
STATES.

A system of highways that will
serve the whole country and will be
far superior to any other in the
world is being mapped out by Fed
eral and State engineers. 1t is estf-
mated that the system will comprise
100000 miles of road. The Federal
highway act recently enacted spe-
officially requires that all Federal
aid be spent on connected system
of Highways consisting of not more
in each State, and that this system
shall consist of interstate or pri-
mary roads and intercounty or sec
ondary roads.
Proposed systems have been re-
ceived by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture from all but
eight States. They are plotted on q
large map of the United States ana
carefully examined as to co-ordina-
ton with the roads of adjacent
States and service to all sections OF
the country.
Many States have already adjust
ed difficult problems with their
neighbors. Since the Federal high
way act of last November became a
law, only roads certain to be on the
system have been approved for con-
struction.

THE LowLY POTATO.

Do you know the highest price
flight attained in war imitation by
any food product, any necessity OF
life-any commodity of genera
consumption?
Sugar touched the clouds, but il
wasn't sugar that made the eleva-
ton record. 1t wasn't coal or coke
Nor was it cotton print cloth, hides
steel or lumber, with all the climb
ings any of that list did. 1t was the
humble potato.
By the index number of the De
partment of Commerce showing
wholesale prices at the war peak
the price of wheat for the producer
got up from normal 100 to 800, as
compared with 40 last February
Cotton print cloth reached $50; il
was down in February to about 100
Hides just missed scaling 500; now
about 80--below the index number
normal. Sugar rang the bell al
600; now little better than 100.
Coke topped 900 and went on a bit
higher to about 630-down now to
about ITO.
But the potato-the farm price
to the prOducer-got just beyond
700! And having broken all the
price flight records, the champion
high price flyer of the war has since
refused to get down to earth again,
still being at 200.

BETTER LAWS AGAINST DOGS
NEEDED TO PROTECT SHEEP.

Although 4S States have dog laws
designed to protect sheep, many OF
them are so poorly planned or sc
poorly enforced that dogs still dc
much damage to flocks, especially in
the farming States where focks are
small and dogs are plentiful. There
is need for improvement in these
laws, but, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, poor law
that is enforced with energy may
produce better results in sheep con
servation than a much better Law
that is half-heartedly enforced
Dogs keep many men from going in
to the sheep business, which is prob
ably a greater setback to the indus
try than the actual damage done by
them.

"WETS" SEND OUT QUESTION.
MARIE.

Adopting the methods hitherto
employed by the Anti-Saloon Lea
que, the Maryland Division of the
National Association Opposed to
Prohibition is sending out question.
naires to all of the congressional
candidates, in which these are asked
to answer specific questions relative
to the enforcement of the dry
law. Failure to answer these within
10 days will be accepted as negative
replies and the candidates will be
rated accordingly.
There are four interrogatives The
first asks the candidate to state
whether he favors an amendment to
the Volstead act permitting the
manufacture and sale of beer and
light wines and cider.
The second calls on him to state
whether he would have whisky made
for medicinal purposes sold by phar-
macists on prescription as are other
medicines.
A third would have him say
whether he will vote for repeal OF
the Volstead Act, leaving to the re-
spective States the power to regulate
and enforce the prohibition amend
ment, but these to be without au-
thority to bring about the return of
the saloon.
The fourth and last question asks
him to state whether he would vote
for the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment.

ROAD BUILDING COST LESS.

Construction is now being done
by the State Roads Commission al
about the price level obtaining be-
fore the war. According to John
N. Mackall, chairman of the Com.
mission, concrete road, Is feet wide
is costing about $4,000 a mile.
In 1920 the Commission let sons
contracts averaging $4,000 the
mile. Prices went much higher
and the Commission called a halt
resuming construction in the spring
of 1921.
Contracts for building $50 miles
of State highways have lately been
awarded.

PENNSYLVANIA FOREST WORK

u
Figures compiled by the State De-
partment of Forestry show that this
spring % owners of forest land set
out a total of $1,000 forest trees in
Lancaster County. More trees
would have been planted but the big
demand for planting stock exhaust
ed all the available nursery supply
early in the season. Orders were
placed for total of more than seven
million trees. Reports indicate that
most of the planted trees are grow
ing well, and in time will produce
excellent lumber.
In Chester County 20 tree planters
set out 65,723 forest trees, and in
York County 27 different owners of
Forest land planted 4O,006 forest
trees.
The nurseries operated by the
State Department of Forestry ship
ped out more than three and one
half million trees this spring, the
largest number ever sent out in a
single planting season. This spring,
for the first time, forest trees were
planted in every county of the state.
This years nursery output is fifty
times greater than the total ship
ments ten years ago. The three
and one-half million planted trees
will reforest more than $500 acres
of idle forest land and when grown
up should produce 265,OOO cords of
wood.
