What Makes the Food Costs.

Food price changes compared from
month to month do not tell the true
story OF the trend IN living costs.
There are always seasonal ups and
downs. Vegetables and fruits can
not be so cheap in the autumn and
winter as when they are rushing 20
market fresh from the farm in large
quantities.
When the Department Of Labor
bulletin shows an increase Of 2 per
cent. for November over October i
means nothing at al measured
against the fact that in the year the
retail food price average was down
about ! per cent. And this de-
crease OF retail prices was in spite
Of q slight increase OF wholesale
prices, showing that the last dis
tributor in the long chain from first
producer TO ultimate consumer Is
slower to make readjustments.
What is OF prime concern to the
American wage Garner is the way his
living costs OF to-day compare with
the normal costs OF before the war.
III the average American family food
is the cardinal factor in the living
cost problem, and in respect of this
the Bureau OF Labor figures tell diff
ferent stories OF different communi-
ties. As compared with 1918, for ex-
ample. retail food costs were 81 per
cent higher In Richmond than they
were in 1913, and "a per cent. higher
in New York. Boston, Buffalo, Wash
ington and Providence. In Scranton
they were so per cent. higher, III
Baltimore so per cent, in Philadel-
phia 49 per cent, in Detroit and New
ark AZ per cent, and 46 per cent. In
Chicago and Pittsburgh.
But, at that, the food costs OF the
American people are not so much
above the pre-war level as many, IL
not most, of their other costs are. The
farmer got his dehation first and got
II hard. 1t took time for the lower
basic food costs to be reflected at the
distant retail end. They did finally
come out there, however, in some
thing like a corresponding percent
age decrease to the decrease Of the
price at the farm. Yet the differ
ence between the actual price of food
at the farm and the actual price OF
food on the consumers table is start
ling. 1t long has been.
1t is not the crop raising cost, 1t
IS the distributing cost-railroad
freight bills, warehouse charges,
trucking charges, other handling
charges, with wages and profits added
in all along the line-this Is what
makes the food bills OF the American
PEOPLE 1t is problem which awaits
the attention OF the country. IL Will
rot be long in coming up for solu-
tion after the American farmer has
the benefit OF his primary coopera-
tive distributing agency TO begin the
work. And that is not far of.

Our Killing Shipping Costs.

While hundreds of ships in the
American Merchant Marine have been
turning to junk for lack of business
TO support them, the earnings OF ship
ping employees have gone steadily
up. Reports of the National Bureau
OF Economic Research reveal that
when the country had 7,3SS,755 tons
afloat in 1909 the average annual
earnings OF the employees were $733.
in the period of war imitation, with a
peak of nearly $4,000. 900 tons Of ship
ping, wage earnings get up to en-
average OF s1,532.
These earnings OF s1.532 were not

fore the war. But expressing the
purchasing power of tho dollar OF
1918 and 1919 IN terms OF the dollar
oi 1918 the actual purchasing power
wage during and Immediately follow
ing the imitation was s1,0i2 In 1917
and 1865 in 1918, as compared with
$50 In 1909.
II is no argument to say that be-
cause an industry Is not prosperous
II ought not to pay its workers what
they can get somewhere else. Either
1t must pay men what they can get
elsewhere or they will go elsewhere
and get It. That is not the point
about the rising labor costs and the
falling earning power of American
shipping. The point is that when
foreign ships because OF their lower
building costs, lower maintenance
costs, lower labor costs and lower
general operating costs can take car
goes at given rates and make a llv-
ing at those rates, whereas those
rates spell bankruptcy for American
ships--the point IS that the Ameri-
can ships cannot stay IN business.
Our shipping costs are nothing less
than killing costs. And when Amer
lean ships are driven out OF busi-
ness by these costs their employees
lose their jobs at the higher wages
than are paid by the ships OF other
countries. In the long run there is
nothing in that for anybody.
The laws OF economies work with
the precision OF clockwork where
there is nothing TO obstruct the
grinding competition OF the whole
maritime world against the country
whose costs, all OF them, are higher.
and much higher, than the costs OF
anybody else. That Is the seat OF the
trouble OF tho American Merchant
Marine.

Romance in Polish Politics.

freedom may not nave SnTlekeu
when NARUTowIcz fell, but the assas-
sination OF the new President OF
Poland is a disturbing reminder OF
the fact that liberty and independence
form a heady brew. Irish Free State
leaders who now have their field OF
action clear before them have a task
simple when compared with that
which confronts Polish patriots.
In the Free State the only elements
10 be recopciled are Protestants and
Catholics, Republicans and Free
Staters. In Poland the Government
has to deal with Jews, Russians,
Ukrainians, Germans and Poles. and
almost as many religious beliefs. The
interests Of the old landowning
Polish nobility, OF the industrial en-
ployers, OF labor and OF the farmers,
clash, and sections OF the army are
prey TO pretorian politics.
Assassination as a political argu-
ment is singularly absent from Po-
llsh history. and although the name
OF General HALLER, the Nationalist
army leader. has been linked up with
the murder OF NARUTowIcz 1t is not
suggested that HNLEE himself Is
concerned in the crime. As has
so. often happened a weak mind
has snapped under the strain and
excitement Of bitter political con-
test and has conceived in murder a
national and patriotic duty. But
there would seem to be no doubt that
much Of the propaganda 70 which
this mind succumbed had It's origin
among General HALrER's sdherents
His former Adjutant. Colonel Mo
pELsKr, and number OF his veterans
have been arrested.
Political romance is inevitably q
by-product OF struggles in distressed
countries. and few persons, even IN
Poland, have led more adventurous
lives than General HALLEa. When

lar officer in the Austrian army.

Mrs. Abou ben Adhem.

Once upon time, perhaps yester-
day, Woman living In the city OF
New York rose early, made list of
the things she wished to buy as
Christmas gifts, and went to the
shopping district shortly after 8
o'clock
Finding plenty OF room at the
counters and knowing just what she
wanted to buy, our heroine made her
purchases quickly. Knowing the
bulk of each. she asked the sales
people TO, send only those too large
for her to carry. Then, taking her
parcels, she was away and homeward
bound before the thousands of women
who find shopping an agony, even
when they carry nothing, were on
their way to the stores.
Anybody who wishes to duplicate
this performance can do SO.

Walk on the Right Side.
An Ordinance Requiring 1t Might
Cause Less Grouchiness.

TO TIE NEW YORK HERALD: You are
walking south on a crowded thorough
fare, keeping to the right and close to
corner OF the cross street you receive a
sudden Jolt which almost takes you off
your feet. A man coming around the
corner, on the wrong side OF the walk,
Is the cause OF your discontinue, Per-
maps he apologies most frequently he
does not. Had he kept to the far side
Of the walk the collision would not
have occurred.
Regaining your equilibrium you pro
ceed on your way feeling more or less
wrathful. You may be In a hurry TO
reach your destination. individuals i'm
pede your progress By insistently wall-
the opposite direction. thereby further
Increasing your wrath.
A little further on four or hve young
women leisureiy walk along abreast, oc-
cupying the sidewalk from curb TO build
ing line. You do not wish TO be rude
but you are finally compelled TO pus.i
one OF them aside so you may proceed
on your way. This does not add to
your peace OF mind.
Then you are confronted with the
pest who is constantly lodging from
one side of the walk to the other. You
try TO pass him. AS you step to the
left he does likewise. You try going
TO the right OF him. Again he blocks
your way. Finally you have to push
him aside. You become still grouchier.
But the worst offenders are the
lately arrived foreign born. who seem to
have no feeling whatever for the rights
OF others on the sidewalks. They amble
along in punches, first on one side, then
the other. BY The time you reach your
destination You. are IN an ugly mood and
are likely TO make things unpleasant for
your associates in the office.
Cannot something be done TO compel
people to keep TO the right side OF the
walk? Cannot the City F'atners pass an
ordinance requiring pedestrians to keep
to the right?
Some critics may say that such a
regulation Is not feasible. ANY reSu-
lation that Is based on common sense
is feasible.
Tho regulation compelling drivers OF
vehicles to keep TO the right side of the
road has been found possible OF en-.
forcement and has expedited traffic con-
sideraa5ly In congested streets all over
the land. No doubt there, were many
drivers OF vehicles who were opposed 10
the regulation when it was first pro-
pesed. Would they wish to 20 back TO
the old haphasard way to-day
Neat little signs requesting pedeo-
trians 10 keep to the right side OF the
walk could be placed at street corners.
and people would coon learn to obey
the request. OLD CROUCH.
