The athletic contests Of the world

hination Of physical strength. endurance.

In times Of war the men who 60 "over

In industry and In business there are

drastic problem of arising sur

Big question in most minds
today might be- phrased like
this How is the European wal
going to affect meas an indivi-
dual worker, and as a factor in
cur society,""
The answer to that must natur-
ally vary with the work you do,
the way you earn your living,
in what section of the country
you live, and what your station
in life is. And the hazards of
forecastng at this early stage
are obvious. But, going by eX-
perience of the past, it is the
safest bet imaginable that the
average man and woman Is 60
ing to be affected by the war in
Europe, and in certain definite
ways. -..... .s& >.
FIRST, War is al1nost certain
to have an influence on the cost
of living in this country - and
an unfavorable influence, look
ing at it from the point of view
of the householder who has to
pay the bills. However, there is
reason for believing, as thous-
ands of people apparently did
in the first days, of the struggle,
that prices are due for pro-
longed trip to the economic strao
sphere. All over the country
people rushed into stores to lay
in heavy supplies of sugar.
flour and other staples. AS a
result, many localities reported
themselves practically sold out
these commodities. Stores were
forced to ration ration dwindfng
stocks. This was panic buying,
which naturally created a highly
artifial price situation. Prices
scared to completely unreason
able levels from which, at this
writing, they have begun tt
drop. ........ .....,
The truth that we have, and
have long Had, a heavy surplus
of most commodities. Sugar
stocks on hand recently touch.
ed an all time high. This years
world wheat crop was the great
est on record, and the u. S. cror
while it did not set a record fol
US, was very large. We have al
excess of flour in storage. Do no
forget that the government ha.
actually been paying out money
in export subsidies in an effor
to find a market for some O.
these surplus commodities.
AS result, even with heavy
war demand, considerable tim,
must pass before commodity SUI
plies are reduced to normal
much less below normal. TIL,
moral of it all is that the con
sumner has no immediate rea
worry about greatly soaring
prices. Prices will tend upward
undoubtedly, and if the war 20.
es on long enough a very serious
price problem could result. But
