FOOD PRICES HERE

Increase Shown for Month,
But Some Other Cities Show
Sleeper Upgrade.

Food prices in Washington are still
on the upgrade. The Washington
householder during the month from
May Is to June Is paid l per cent more
for food than during the previous
month. the Labor Department an
nounced today, although the increase
in this city was not as large as in sew
eral others, in one of which food in
creased per cent in price and in
others per cent.
prices in the Capital on June Is of this
year were per cent lower than on
the same date year ago, with 80 of
the 81 cities surveyed showing a de-
crease in the average family expendi-
ture for food.
As compared with the average cost
in the year 1913. food in June, 1924,
was 49 per cent higher in Washington,
Baltimore and Richmond. only two
cities showing a greater increase over
the 11-year period than Washington.
TaHhlating the various food articles
by changes in price. the department an
nounced that the decrease in all articles
of food combined for the year period
from June Is, 1923. to June Is of this

RUSSIA PLANNING ISSUE
OF new GOLD CURRENCY
One, Three and Five Ruble Notes
Proposed-Feasibility Is
Doubted.

MOSCOW, July 19.-The Soviet gov
ernment recently promulgated a Sc
ries of DEGREES adding one more re-
form to the Russian currency. 1t will
be recalled that in October, 1922, a
new state banknote was issued called
the< <chervonets, in denominations of
ten rubles gold or more. These bills
were protected from depreciation by
a gold reserve and have circulated at
about par up to the present time. The
old Soviet paper money, which has
deprecated almost to the point of in
visibility, >still remains in circulation
as fractional currency. 1t is now pro-
posed to issue a new series of legal
lender notes in denominations of one,
three and five gold rubles, receivable
for public taxes and limited in
amount to one-half the chervonets
notes in circulation. The old Soviet
paper money may be exchanged for
these bills at the rate of one kopeck
for 500 rubles. Small change is to be
the minimum denominations, and a
series of silver pieces ranging from
ten kopecks to one ruble in value.
Some skepticism is expressed as to
the ability of the government to
maintain at par the chervonets and
the new bills of smaller denomina-
tions in view Of the chronic deficit in
the budget:

Company of New York has under

The canal would follow the approx

southeasterly into the basin at the
head of the Cooper River. In addi-
ton to the diversion dam, three or
more earthen dams would be con-
Structed to create an equalizing res

race, @scharging into the Cooper at a
point 70 miles above Charleston.
The development would be in two

of development, providing for the
raising of dams ten feet to develop

AS there is an existing navigation
project on the lower Santee which
provides for maintenance of a nayi-
gable depth of six feet from its
mouth to a point above Ferguson,
the chief engineer of the commission,
in recommending a license, declared
the licensee be required to construct
a lock in the diversion dam to per-

Provision also was made for the
construction of locks by the govern

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY

NEW YORK. July 15.-Today's best
story is told by Jacob Richman.
Among the Jews animals and poultry
by a rabbi. If they prove to have
been unhealthy, malformed, or in any
way departure from the normal.
they are rejected as not kosher. A
client. according to Mr.. Richman. ap-
preached the rabbi:
Il want you should look at my
chicken. All the time it picks for
bread crumbs under the table
But Why not?"
For three weeks / have had no
bread. 1 think maybe the chicken is
crazy"
Every one knows something that isn't
so-that there are no more cowboys in
the west. If one gets away from the
farm lands in a dozen states there are
just as many and just as good cow
boys as there used to be. Only they
are and always have been cow
puncherS.
But the stock is continually shift
ing. Youngsters grow up and become
cOWDuncheTs and their elders go. 1t
used to puzzle me what became of
them. Now L know. They come to
New York and become policemen
some are assigned to the scooter cars
and prowl for bandits. Sometimes for
other things.
