There is, obviously, only one
answer. 1t is the answer we have
applied in many problems that
have had us flabbergasted as a ma

gether, through our Government,
what cannot be done by groups
and individuals for the entire coun
try. The report calls for "requir-
ed contributions to the social-secur
ity fund and payments from gen.
eral tax revenues. In other
words, because the people who
need the service aren't always in
a position to afford it, the differ
ence will have to come from the
employers and the generally bet
ter-heeled citizens, but each white
! collar or industrial worker or far

mean very much to some folks,
such as some high-placed persons

ANNOUNCES NEW PRICES

Beer sold for consumption on
the premises in bars, taverns, re-
s~taurants and hotels is still under
price control, the Office of Price
Administration pointed out this
week in granting a ceiling price
increase of n cent for a glass
or small bottle and two cents for
a large bottle. The increases be-
came effective August 16, 1916.
The one cent increase is for
draught beer in glasses of eight
ounces or larger, and on sever to
II ounce bottles or cans. A two
cent increase has been granted for
80 ounce bottles. These amounts
may be added to the sellers ex-
listing April 4-1O, 1e43, freeze
ceiling prices. Ceiling prices in the
Dallas and Atlanta regions, that
are set at dollar and cent amounts
for the areas, are being revised
at once by the regional offices to
allow the same increases.
The reasons for this action. OPA
explained, is that those drinking
establishments that depend almost
entirely on beer sales are suffer-
ing hardship because % the lin
tied available supplies of beer are
preventing them from maintain
ing normal. sales; (2) ceiling pri-
e of brewers were increased re-
