Higher prices at home and abroad
characterized the 1928 import and
export trade OF the United States.
While the advance is less striking
than in many earlier years it is
still true that the monthly average
prices in considerably more than
one half of the representative
articles entering and leaving the
country were higher in December
1923 than in the corresponding
month of 1922. A compilation for
The Trade Record OF The National
CITY Bank of New York shows that
about $3.50 of the principal articles
imported in 1928 showed higher
prices In December of that year
than in the corresponding month OF
1922, and that $3.50 of the principal
exports also showed higher prices
in December 1923 than in the same
month OF the preceding year.
This statement is based upon the
average import price named by the
Department of Commerce in the list
OF " articles for which il gives the
monthly average export price. and
81 articles named in its list OF i'm
port prices. While the advances
are as rule less striking than on
former occasions. the fact remains
that the proportion of the articles
thus enumerated which show higher
prices is considerably greater than
those showing a decline. Of the 81
articles included in the above named
list, IS show higher prices in De-
cember 1923 than in the sarLe
month OF the preceding year. and
of the II representative articles in

pert. We have read ii carefully and

of an endless typewriter duel. Both
have had their day in Court. We sug-
gest that they either make exchanges

get together for heart to heart talk
ON the subject in dispute.

ing who Coach Thompson has in

sity and Dick has a bright outlook
of representing the Bowdoin nine at

necessary for the coach to manu-
facturc II new string of twirlers A
number OF the green pasture artists
were also lost to the school last year.

HOSPITAL HONORS
STATE WAR DEAD
Memorial Institution To
Open At Montgomery
On Jan. Is

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 23.-
The Montgomery Memorial hospital
which will be opened here January 10
as a tribute to American soldiers who
made the supreme, sacrifice during the
World war, will be one of the most
convenient and perfectly equipped of
its kind in the United States, according
to officials of the general hospital
board of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, under whose direction
the hospital was built.
All equipment is either at the hos
pital or on the way and the installation
is going forward rapidly, according to
Mr.. Frank w. Brandon, superintendent
of the institution. Accommodations for
exactly sixty-nine patients can be made
at the hospital and equipment to care
for each one of them will be installed.
The surgical equipment, X-ray, etc,
will be in readiness for the formal
opening January Is, DIR. Brandon says.
Especial attention is called to the
X-ray apparatus that will occupy two
large rooms in the Montgomery hos
pital. The apparatus has been pro-
nounced as one of the most powerful
and efficient machines ever purchased
in the south.
A third building for children is be-
ing planned for the near future to be
erected by the city of Montgomery, thus
completing what is regarded as the
most commodious and attractive group
of hospital structures in the state OF
Alabama.
Applications for positions as student
nurses in the nurses school are being
received in large numbers by Miss Celia
johnson, superintendent of nurses.
