around her arm in warning. He
smiled down at her. his old sar-
donic smile. "Now don't start cry

weakly and shook her head in a

to Fran and offered his condolences
on her bad luck.
Fran had noticed nothing. The
shots they had given her were
making her momentarily more
laxative even than usual. She
raced on through a recitation OF the
accident. Burke had started to
bring her home and they had tan

Pre-war Prices Doubled i'm
Iceland as Initiation Hits

Although the initiation so far Is

ready is squeezing foreigners who
must exchange hari-earned pounds
or dollars for the Icelandic kronur.
Butter st.31 a Pound
In this country which produces
considerable amount OF dairy prod
ucts, butter sells wholesale at sl.3l
pound and cheese at 70 cents n
pound Milk is % cents a quart. and
eggs are Is cents each. Tomatoes
grown in hot houses-the only ones
ayailable-are IS cents a pound. In
all. the index Of food prices is 24S
per cent OF the 1889 level
Prices on imported articles follow
the same line. \ street dress which
would cost about $40 in the United
States sells for s45 in Reykjayik. A
good American fountain pen brings
s2l. A can OF American asparagus Is
priced al $l.39. \ mans shirt OF in
ferior quality sells for S420.
\ lightweight American automo-
bile, in fair running condition and
not more THAI five years old. sells
for about $4,000. Later and better
models sell for about $4,000 each,
secondhand.
Laundries charge 80 cents for
washing a mans shirt. Having a
mans suit pressed costs Sll5; hay-
ing it cleaned and pressed. $2.77.
Restaurant prices have been
stepped up several times in the last
year. Twelve months ago. the Hotel
Borg charged Sl.45 for its large
dinner. Now the price is $40,
plus Is per cent service charge. A
two cup pot Of coffee at the Borg
costs ~ cents.
Hard To Keep Farm Hands
The price on luxury articles Is
almost prohibitiye. A bottle of hair
dressing which sells for ten cents
in the United States is priced at
S12O In Reykjayik.
The increasing prices have been
paralleled by increasing wages. A
worker who earned about $3.50 a
year before the war now gets about
$1,000, lcelandic seamen, who re-
ceive war risk allowances, do even
better.
High salaries at the water front
have attracted so many farm hands
that the farm labor situation has
been disrupted.
The workers were forbidden TO
strike for wages above the levels
fixed through government regula-
tons. However, the workers adopt
ed the tactic of merely quitting
their jobs, and waiting to be rehired
at better pay. With this situation
tending to break down the law. the
parliament, facing an election in a
few weeks, repealed the law out
right.

ures. members OF the controlling

predicted IL would reach about 232
by the end OF October.
(This predicted rise OF IS percent
age points during October would
compare with a recent cost OF liv-
ing increase OF about one per cent
a month in the United States).
Business as well as government
circles believed the runaway race
between wages and prices would
continue. Parliament recently re-
pealed an important part OF Ice
lands anti-inflation regulations.
U. S. Army Gives Increase
The law had prohibited strikes
for pay any higher than that justi-
fled by the officially-published cost
OF living index. Under the law. the
present index of 2O7 would have
justified wages slightly more than
twice as high as in l939-and no
higher, except for an authorized
bonus OF 25 or 30 per cent.
Even before the law was repealed
employers were using subterfuge TO
pay higher wages. But since the law
was discarded, negotiations for ad-
justed wages have been carried on
with official sanction. one of the
first developments following repeal
of the law was pay raise for Ice
la die civilians working for the
United States Army forces in Ice
land.

power, together with a scarcity of
goods, has led 10 higher prices,
which in turn may lead TO even big
