COST OF LIVING INCREASES AS
 PRICES CONTINUE TO SOAR

Steady increases in the cost of liv- ing and general unemployment are the conditions reported at the begin ming of winter in practically every section of the United States. In a statement issued by the U. s. De- partment of Labor it is shown that between September 15 and October l 5 the retail prices of food in twenty six representative cities advanced from less than one-half of one per cent to per cent. This was contin- uance of the previous upward trend
 Along with the rise in the cost of food and supplies for the household there was an increase in the prices of clothing and fabrics of silk, cotton and wool. The price of overcoatings is 25 per cent above the quotation of 1922. A $3 fabric, it is announced from New. York, has been raised to $4' in the preliminary 'showings of for 1923. Dealers are at

! tributing the increase to the higher 1 cost of wool.
 ] The report of. the Department of l of mems and women's clothing of all
 materials and qualities. The New
 York Journal of Commerce in a re- view of various markets, says:
 Rising prices continue in primary dry goods markets. The demand for cotton goods was stimulated by a sharp advance in raw cotton. Sheet ings, print cloths, and combed yarn goods in the gray are higher. Wool goods are firm and rising. Silk goods have been showing advances and sales are steady"
 Meat dealers in Philadelphia com plain that the packers have created artificial conditions in that city to force prices to higher levels.
 The cost of practically every ma terial and commodity that was "pro- tected" by the Fordney-McCumbe profteers' tariff law has mounted no- ticeably since it's passage. The Cotton Textile Trust, the Wool Trust, the Beef Trust, the Steel Trust, and all the big monopolies which control basic commSdities have apparently begun to turn their protection" into big profits for themselves.
 No reports of increases in wages have been issued by the Department of Labor, and there is no sign that l the thousands of workers now out of | are soon to be given | work by the industries which, it was aid, would be guaranteed prosperity ,y the enactment of the profteers Jill.

SIX IS HALF-DOZEN WHEN
 BRAZIIIANS TELEPHONE

"Six of one and half a dozen of the other" may not be a common ex- pression among Brazilians, but they accept it in principle when telephop- ing, if the required number contains six. In Portugese, the mother ton que of the native of Brazil. "six'' is t'seis'' and seven" is ''sete" And unless enunciated with extreme care the two numerals frequently cause telephone errors, much as five and nine sometimes do for English-spealz- ing telephone users.
 7 The Brazilian telephone user: therefore, seldom or never calls for "seis" but instead uses "meia duzia" which means "half dozen.'' He would ask for 1267 as 'tum dois mela duzia sete." Just what he does when the number happens to be 6666 does not appear.
