THE CONSUMERS ATTITUDE

The editor OF the Iron Trade Review
points out that most Of the sweeping i'll
crcascs i'll price during 1921 were for raw
or goods at. Wholesale. and the cost
of living at present is actually shade below
the level of year ago.
Before the ultimate consumer starts cheer
ing, however, he should hear the sad news
that these primary increases must now be
passed on in higher retail prices.
The question cnsucs What will be the
attitude OF the consumer The editor quot
ed thinks the public will stand for the raise.
"All indications point to easy absorption OF
the advances for some months to come.
That seems likely enough. Labor is fully
employed Wages are good and salaries end
investment incomes arc growing.
There may be buyers strike none thc
less, if TIC increase proceeds too rapidly OF
goes too far. The consumer has learned his
power since the war, and used it twice to
good effect, and will apply it more quickly
than ever ii he becomes convinced that he IS
being gougcd.

HOMES AND CHILDREN

JJp To date, the individual home still ranks
as the best place for bringing up children.
Dr.. Solomon LowcnStein executive director
of the Federation for The Support OF jewish
Philanthropic Societies. and leading au-
thority on child welfare. said recently at Z
welfare meeting
Every resource at the command OF the
community should be utilized in keeping the
child in the home, because home IS every
child's natural heritage.
Instead Of spending huge SUMS to build
and support institutions for children these
funds could be put to a far bette use by
helping parents, keep their children
What about orphans, and children whose
parents arc unable OF unfit TO take care OF
them, and abnormal children? The answer
is still individual homes.
Que organization devoted primarily TO res
cuinc helpless children from misery has de
yeloped an extensive system for keeping
Youngsters in homes instead Of institutions.
II maintains 4 few subsidized homes and 4
list Of more than hundred boarding homes
all carefully Investigated and regularly in
spcctotl. They arc clean and wholesome, ana
the boarding mothers arc chosen for intel
ligence and ability as well as for interest III
children. The children receive the individual
attention and care that any fortunate baby
in a normal. comfortable home would receive
The boarding mother is paid a small sum
little more than enough to cover the child
needs. lin due course OF time as many as
possible Of the children arc placed Tor pcFnla-
nent adoption Only the subnormal and DC
fcctiyo children are put in institutions
With SO many childlcss homes and home
less children needing to be brought together,
the welfare workers ideal OF md'vioual
homes for growing boys and girls should not
lie an impossible one to realize.

Paris, Jan. 30.-The remains OF
an unknown Taxi have been roll

there enshrined for all time.
On the It'll Of September, 1914,
when the Germans were nearing
the gates OF Paris, hundreds OF
taxi-driycrs volunteered to trans

one day and the following night
= continuous stream of these tiny
rcd cars made their way through
shelliire to the firing lines. The
re-onforcemcnts they brought
probably saved The city from cap

The taxi and their drivers &C
came famous as the "Tayis Of the
Marnc'and now after eight years
the government has recognized
their splendid service. One OF
the cars has been given a place
of honor in the Military Museum.
A huge throng including pro
minent officials participated in the
ceremony. Heads were barred as
the battered taxi was moved to
its final resting place.
