Cost of Food Now
Highest il 6 Years
Prices Now so Psrcent Higher
Than in 1888 AMI 10 Percent
Above Last Year

The cost of filling the housewives
grocery basket is nov the highest in
six years, reflectilg the tribute
levied against the consumers poe
textbook by the 1896 drought, a
study of food prizes in Chicago
wholesale and retail markets dis
closes.
Prices have risen gradually in the
last few weeks to slrpass the Au-
gust 1886 peak, previous high level
since early in 1881. I'm authoritative
compilation indicated the market
baskets cost is now about 10 per
cent higher than year ago and SO
per cent higher thar the low point
of early 1888.
While a number of food items, in
Guiding butter, eggs cheese, lard,
and some poultry, are lower than
they were last August, these de-
clines have been offset elsewhere in
the grocery list. Higher prices of
many items have accompanied in
creased distribution costs to enlarge
the daily shopping bill, market OBJ
servers said. At the same time, wage
increases, they said, have helped
maintain consumer demand, which
also has strengthened food prices.
Out of Is food items listed, all
were higher than a year ago except
eggs, which were practically un-
changed, cheese, also little changed,
potatoes, poultry, celery and lettuce.
Grains have shown the steepest
advance of all commodities, al
though this has been reflected in
the grocery list in a more indirect
way. Wheat was quoted 36 per cent
higher than year ago and 8 per
cent higher than last August. Bread
prices were advanced one cent a loaf
in several sections of the country a
month ago.

ZEPPELIN MASTER GIVES
HIS THEORY OF DISASTER

A spark from the sky and brok-
en- brace wire-these two things, DR..
Hugo Eckener said Saturday in
Lakehurst, NJ J.-were the probable
causes of the flaming disaster which
overlook the majestic Hindenburg
on May 6.
The veteran German Zeppelin
master acknowledged that his the
Dry called for the coincidence of two
extremely remote possibilities to ac-
count for the holocaust in which SO
died, but he told the commerce de-
partment investigating board:
Since the whole occurrence is ex-
tremely mysterious, we must pro-
coed along these lines"
It was the concensuS of eyeWit-
nesses, he pointed out, that the first
fire broke out in the stern of the
ship From this we conclude that
there must have been free gas in
the rear section of the Ship" he said.
The only like explanation for this
free gas, he went on, was that a
brace wire had snapped a few min
utes before, puncturing an aft gas
cell and causing a sudden leak. The
sharp turn the Hindenburg had just
made in her landing maneuvers
would have created a sharp struc-
tural tension especially near the
stern wires, he said.
