Figger, Niger, Figger

The war will end in 1912 be-
cause 1912 is half of 1884, accord
ing to some unknown mathema-
tician whose deductions are an
other proof that figures won't lie,
but liars will figure.
Here's the figgers:
Hitler was born in 1889, came to
power in 1888, spent 9 years in
power and attained the age of SO
this year. Add up these figures and
they total 1884.
Mussolini was born in 1883, came
to power in 1922, spent 20 years
in power, and this year BECAME So,
again these figures total 1884.
Churchill was born in 1873, came
to power in 1910, was in power two
years and was So this year. The
total once more is 1884.
Roosevelt was born in 1882, came
to power in 1898. Had nine years
in power and this year became 60,
bringing the total to 1884.
To wage war there must be two
factions, so if the figure 1884 is
divided by two, the result is 1912.

CHECKS LIVING COSTS

For the first time since No
vember of 1910, the steady rise
in living costs has been checked
as a direct result of the general
ceiling on prices established at
the retail level on May 10 and
the accompanying measure to
reduce rents, price administrator
Leon Henderson announced this
week. Commenting on a recent
survey, Henderson said: 1.-THE
first returns are in. They are
good. They show that at least
the upward movement in living
costs has been checked and that
those costs actually declined in
the period under study. The sur
vey demonstrates that if we are
really serious about it, the bat
tie against initiation can be

safely. The accident that shocked
the world didn't even jolt Rosen'

some tips about strengthening the

dirigibles Akron and the Macon were
lost, and public sentiment was such
that the ideas Of dirigibles as practi-

renewed interest when the linden
