The Dollar Todau

THE famed economist, Professor Irving
Fisher, of Yale, announces that last
weeks prices averaged one hundred
and fifty-one per cent of the pre-war level.
A dollar is worth, in terms of its buying
power, sixty-six and two-tenths pre-war cents.
The world now looks back to the plenty
and peace of 1913 as to a far-off paradise
from which flaming sword sent mankind
packing. Yet, we can remember as if it
were but yesterday that for years prior to
the catastrophe which broke upon that tran
quill time, we were protesting against an
eyer-mounting cost of living. A dollar then
would buy notably less than it would a
decade before, and the burden of every po-
litical song was "back to the good old days. -
But now, we fancy, if we could return to
the high prices" Of 1913, that were para
disc enow." SO goes the world-and human
nature.
