Windsor S LivinQ
Costs Up 8 Pct.;
Lose Luxuries
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Windsor housewives may lack
truffles and mushrooms for their
sauces and their hose may be part
rayon, but, in spite of the war.
living costs are up only 8 per cent
for them.
The Dominion Bureau of Sta
tistics is authority for this figure.
Import bans rule out truffles
and mushrooms among other
luxury items on the menu. Con-
servation of silk means that fash
ionable Canadian women will soon
wear hose with tops and feet of
Isle or rayon.
A factory now under construc-
ton at Kingston will manufacture
wellknown chemical substitute
for silk used in hose.
The Canadian woman now buys
English gloves. instead of French,
and she no longer dabs on French
perfume unless it is from a supply
the merchant had on hand before
the fall of France.

Highest jump in living costs is
1875 per cent in clothing.
Next highest is in home furnish
ings, for which Canadians now pay
104 per cent more than between
1895 and 1899.
Linens. china and earthenware
are among the items in this group
which are expected to rise most in
price.
One Windsor merchant reports

china and 1915 per cent in semi.

Because china and earthenware
rank first among England's export

empt in the first draft and still
may return from service TO their
craft if they are needed, the
Windsor merchant said.
Bone china. such as Americans
have brought over from Windsor
I for years, is going to soar even
higher in price. the merchant said,
because britain no longer can
spare boats TO transport the needed
waste bone from South America.
But all these items are decided

made no attempt to control their
prices.
However. prices of necessities
are controlled by the war time

which is making new regulations
constantly TO meet new situations.
Foods'uffs have jumped an aver

Government control is exercised

WASHINGTON-N pleasant to contemplate is the fact that almost every war disabilities from venereal disease rival those from actual bat tie. And although this country is not at war, has only begun to mobilize it's new army, already this ugly prob lem is worrying Army chiefs.
 Already, also, there are serious dif- ferences as to how to deal with the problem. The Public Health Ser yice-not part of the Army-is viz orously opposed to segregated ols- tricts around army camps, contends that if disease is to be suppressed, prostitution must be suppressed.
 But some hard boiled Army com- manders incline to the opposite view. Officially and formally the Army, Navy and Public Health Ser vice have signed declaration of policy pledging cooperation with To- cal police in preventing prostitution. But many camp commanders have treated this as a scrap of paper.
 Partial solution to this problem in the last war was entertainment. But in the present emergency the Army decided to rule out the diver sified system of camp entertain ment by the frequently pickering YMCA Salvation Army Knights of Columbus and Young Mems He brew Association which prevailed in the last war.
 So much friction and rivalry de- veloped among these organizations over camp entertainment in 19l7-16 that camp commanders spent lot of their time ironng out disputes. So eventually their entertainment fea- lures were merged under one direc- tor Harry Harrison then head of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and the man who later put across the 100000 advance ticket sale for the Chicago Worlds Fair.
 It was Harrison, together with Paul M. Pearson of the Swarthmore Chautauqua, who organized the Smileage Books, which for about ten cents each admitted soldiers to con- certs, lectures. light opera, and Broadway productions.
 Secretary of War Stimson is con- vinced that similar organized en- tertainment is the best solution for the new army's recreation. Further more, he considers it all-important from the viewpoint of the nation

TAKES TO FAME
 LIKE DUCK TO WAFER;
 E FIRST PET OF LAND
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON. March T. = This is the tale of Falla, the most fam ous dog in America today.
 Falla is jet black scottie. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt calls him the "wigglingest bundle of fur you ever tried to lay hands on" Presi- dent Roosevelt calls him "Falla."
 His formal name is "Falla of Murray Hill" It was appropriated from one of the Presidents old Scottish ancestors. Falla of Mur- ray Hill, so the story goes, was an outlaw in the days when being successful as Scottish outlaw was as much of an achievement as being elected President of the U. s. for third term.
 Falla came to live at the White House something less than a year ago. He was a gift from one of President Roosevelts Duchess county relatives.
 The President doesn't say from whom and he doesn't say any, thing about Fallas parents, ances- try or kennels either. The reason is obvious. Many persons would pay fabulous sums and burst with pride if they could say: My purp is sister (brother, cousin, newhew, niece) of the dog who lives at the White House" The only thing I could dig out was that Falla was born in Indianapolis, of pretty royal scottie blood.
 OTHERS CUME AND GO
 Aside from the squirrels that scamper around the White House lawn and the pigeons that bum a luxurious living along the White House paths, Falla has in bid for the only permanent animal resi- dent in the Roosevelt administra- ton.
 Jack and Jill, two beautiful brown cocker spaniels that belong to Mrs. John Boettiger, daughter of the House of Roosevelt, have been popular guests, but their ten- ure never was long. There was an- other scottie, but he was a snappish sort and had to be packed off to the country before he had got to first base in Presidential affec- tions.
 With Falla it's different. There hasn't been a day that he hasn't wagged his way a little deeper into the Presidents heart, and if there is any one on the White House staff who has ever thought, Darn that dogl," it never has been uttered in whisper any one could hear.
 One of the ceremonies of the Presidents day is giving Falla his evening meal. No one else dares cut in. Mrs. Roosevelt commented recently that Falla is rapidly be- coming one-man dog. There's no doubt about 1t. Who else would

big, innocent and clumsy, seemed
to have no chance of tying this
glorious feat. He tied it, all right,
but was thoroughly beaten young
man at the finish.
An Honest Verdict.
Donovan is one of the pet hates of
the Baer stable. He refereed the
fight between Max Baer and Primo
Camera, when Max won the title
but was showed around by Mr.. Dono-
van He refereed the fight between
Max and Louis when Louis knocked
the great man out in four rounds
and Donovan criticized Maxs cour-
age.
Baer's camp had asked specifically
before last nights fight that some
body else than Donovan be referee.
There are good referees in the Dis
trict of Columbia, any of whom
could have done as good job.
On the other hand, none of them
could honestly have done anything
but what Donovan did. Baer was
battered into a pitiful pulp. Before
he went out, he gave his best. He
knocked Louis out of the ring. Then
he succumbed. He made a braver
fight against the Brown Bomber
than his brother Max did. He met
a Louis who was only SO per cent OF
the Louis Of five years ago, and he
fought well and honestly. and lost.
