HI COST OF LIVING
IS ON HIS WAY BACK
Prices Generally Have Started On
Climb Upward, According To
Atlanta Housewives

ATLANTA, April 25.-"Old High
Cost Of Living" is on his way back,
according to Atlanta housewives.
Prices generally have started in on
he climb upward.
There already has been a swing
Upward o. some eighteen points in
the index number, representing 4o4
commodities THAT enter largely into
the cost OF living of the AVERAGE
family, from the low point since the
war,
Using 100, the prices as of 1913.
before the war as the starting point,
the peak in the cost Of living in the
United States was reached in Nav
1920. Then it started to slump
slowly at first then plunged down
ward like a thousand of bricks. In
May 1920, the government figures
based on these 4O4 commodities to
represent fairly the cost Of living of
the average person, had reached 203.
or more than twice the pre-war level.
The slump downward continued
until February last year, when the
index number averaged only 140. It
held around that figure some time
and then began to rise again, with
steady climb last fall. December is
generally a high month, because Of
Christmas shopping and its effect on
prices. But January this year saw
the price level stay at the same point
as December, the high peak of last
year, and February followed with a
certain increase oven January, indi-
eating that the upward trend was
here to stay March figures reveal
cd further advances.
These increases are not only far
ing in food stuffs, but in clothing,
housing, lights and heat, and as a
matter of fact in ell factors entering
into the cost Of living.
