time, and while the industries In ques-
tion may temporarily pass on higher
costs to consumers. further broad ex-
pansion OF business activity appears to
be threatened.
The advance fn the prices OF such
basic products as iron and steel ana
other metals, building materials, etc.
may hamper expansion OF production
In certain very important lines. Only
recently have the railroads gotten into
q financial shape that would permit
them to spend much money on new
equipment and the building OF better
roadbed and track. Now, with the price
OF steel rising, and with wage increases
also In prospect, 1t IL doubtful whether
the railroads will be able to carry out
the extensive programs OF rehabilita-
tion which they have planned. SINH
larly, the building OF new houses, apart
ments, ETC.. may be held back by the
rising prices of building materials. II
this turns out to be the case. 1t will
check the unemployment OF idle
workers, and the attainment OF the
higher standards OF living which are
so greatly desired.
Large sections OF the population
would soon suffer as result OF a rapid
rise. In prices. Among them are farm
ers who do not work for wages, indi-
viduals On hIed salaries, and those
living on incomes from investments.
These constitute more than half the
total population. Perhaps the most
serious phase OF the problem is the
| possibility OF new disparity between
industrial and agricultural prices which
may result II wages force industrial
| prices upward.
Stimulation Only Temporary
The adverse effects upon production
may be- considerably delayed, be-
cause rise In prices usually stlmu-
lates business for the time being. With
| prices going up. business men and
| others hasten to place orders and buy
| extra quantities In order to be ahead
OF the price advance. This speeds up
business activity and for time In
creases the demand for labor. Such ex-
pansion OF demand In turn serves to
increase the demand for products and
to raise prices the more rapidly. In due
course. however, price relationships are
80 disturbed that certain groups oil
people lose purchasing power. This, In
turn, sets In motion forces which tend
to reduce prosperity.
Fortunately, the dangers inherent Ia
this situation appear to have been
recognized, and efforts are being made
by both business and the government
to restrain price advances.

Fossil Ape Bones
Show Animal Was
Much Like Humans

Pretoria, South Africa.-NeW
points of resemblance between
man and the recently discov-
cred higher-ape fossils of Sterk-
fontein have been worked out
by their disceVerer, Dr. R.
Broom of the Transvaal muse
UNI here, as he has cleared
away more and more of the
bone from its encasing stony
matrix.
New details OF the cheek bone,
thus made visible, show that the
animal had less Of an ape-like snout
and a straighter. more human"
facial angle than DR.. Broom had at
first supposed. The eyeteeth are
relatively small, and there is no
gap between them and the first pre-
molars-again a man-like rather
than an ape-like character.
Closer Approach to the Human.
In general, says DR.. Broom, the
new findings support the earlier
opinions of both himself and Prof.
Raymond A. Dart of Witwatersrand
university, that this extinct genus
Of apes, though unquestionably real
apes and not men, were not related
to any living type OF great apes
and show closer approach to the
human physical makeup than. do
any other known apes.
DR.. Broom considers his speci-
men to be sufficiently different from
the much more ancient one found by
Prof. Dart to justify a separate
name for it. He proposes the ZOO
logical title Australopithecus trans
vaalensis.

NOT IMPORTANT. BUT

A Michigan newspaper recently
opened a prize contest for house
wives, asking them to submit old
fashioned recipes for old-fashioned
foods. and no mortal who has plod-
ded gamely through the whipped
cream and -cracker-crumbs output
of modern cookery can do less than
hope that the ladies of Michigan
rally round and make great oc-
casion out of 1t.
We might just as we'll face the
fact that some strange fads and
fancies have been flourishing in the
American kitchen of late. Our fore
fathers waxed great and strong on
solid fodder that would nestle up
to a mans breastbone and stay
there, letting him know that he had
eaten something, we. their unWor-
thy descendants, are facing world

began to find out about things like
vitamins. Now vitamins are all very

But once science reared its ugly
head in the kitchen, it opened the
way for all manner of abuses, and
the volunteer dietary advises lost no
time in taking advantage of 1t.
They began with desserts, and the
way their minds work can be gagged
by the fact that they actually tackled
a dress-maker's word like chiffon

bananas in oceans Of mayonnaise, to

What Other Editors Have
To Say
Almost Unanimous

Boston Evening Transcript
Having agreed as long ago as last
March that labor and industrial re-
lations constitute the countrys
greatest present problem, the Ma
tional Economic League IS now en-
gagged in the constructive task of
proposing a solution. According to
the votes SO far received from these
hundreds of men of sound judgment
in all parts of the United States, an
immediate need is to cause labor
organizations to become legally re-
sponsible for their acts. On this
point the verdict is virtually unanl-
NOUS. Moreover there is little dit
ference of opinion as to the methods
to be employed Ninety per cent
of those voting would force unions
to be incorporated; So per cent
would make them obtain charters
or licenses, furnish annual state
ments showing receipts and dis
bursements, and hold annual DEM
ocratic elections of officers; 50 per
cent would modify the labor stat
utes to enable courts of equity to
enforce specific performance of Ia
Dor contracts against both parties,
and in connection herewith to en-
Join strikes which may be In viola
ton of labor agreement
On other points these representa-
tive citizens of the Leagues Coun-
Gil are similarly single minded. They
would forbid labor organizations as
we'll as corporations and employers
groups to make political campaign
contributions. They would amend
the Wagner Act to provide equal
responsibilities and penalties to en-
ployers and employees and to make
it possible for the National Labor
Relations Board to inquire into mo-
tives and methods of labor groups
The significance of this referen-
dunn will not be lost upon the av-
erage man. Here is no body Of
Tories, reactionaries or economic
royalists which is casting its bal
lots. On the contrary, the list in
cludes many men cIassed as rea
liberals and many more whose de
votion. to the public welfare is re
Elected in countless good deeds vel
done. That they are not economI-
cally unprogressive or anti-labor Is
best indicated by their approval, by
an 86 per cent vote, of the principal
that orderly and just employer
employee relations require that en-
ployees should organize on demo
cratic basis, choosing their own lead
ers and representatives.
