Throughout known commercial history they have been slow in moving upward, and always slow in coming down again. It was the same in the Na- poleonic period, and in the Civil war inflation and deflation. “Qr, if one wishes to look at the definite puchcl-l causes whxch are operating right now, the answer is that tens of thousands of new landlords through- out the United States cannot atford to reduce Tents, while most of the others do not want to. Bllfln‘ the years of 1918 to 1920, both inclusive, there was a craze for buying real estate. Millions of dwellings, farms and business properties cl}anged hands at prices anywhere from 50 to 200 per cent above the pre-war values. These new owners paid so much for the'r rroperties that if they reduce rents they cannot get a fair return on their invest- ment. Of course, they paid too much and 'ulti- mately they may have to sacrifice a fair return as a penalty for their mistake; but the pnmt is fimt they wxll not do so-until they are compelled. “There is_another practical reason why rerits are slow in falling, and this is that even now thag ‘arg. only a little above incomes, Statistical mdlcltwns are that wages and incomes are now about 59.2 per cent higher than in 1914, while rents are 60 or 61 per cent higher. Therefore, people. in aver- age circumstances are still able to pay the average increase in rents; and this condition, \togethar with the unwillingness of the landlord to cut and.'the unwillingness of the tenant to go back to the kmd of quurters he used to live in, keeps tents up.” DANISH MAIDENS HAVE CHARM Pretty Giris In Profusion to“Be Seen on the Famous “Streak” in Copenhagen, Nowhere except on. Fifth avenue, New York, do you see so_many pretty girls In the space ‘of a short walk as you do on the “Streak.” The maid-of Copenhagen 4s nothing at gll like one's preconcelved notion of, what & Scandl- navian girl should be. Up In Norway you encounter the flaming red cheeks and yellow locks. and robust. forms which! Anders 'Zorn has. immortalized on cahvas. Bt the mald of .Copen- hagen; the typlcal one, the kind that you will always remember when your thoughts dwell on the Danish capital, is not like any of these. She is petite and trim, neatly dressed, with hair that is copper brown ag .often as yellow. A wilk along the “Streak” on a sun- | ny afternoon at the shopplng hour re- veals to perfection ' the ‘charm of Co- penhagen, And if you stroll up to the Langelinie, the celightful park that skirts the harbor, or venture into the grounds of the Rosenborg palace, it will be much the same; pretty girls, dozens of them, alone, or in twos and threes, or escorted by devoted swains; girls as chic and Parislenne, with com- plexions that the Togd aud -winds of the Baltic have made intg worthy ri- vals ,of those of England, chattering like magples, bursting into smiles that reveal whole nests of dimples, tripping along with life and mischief in. their eyes and charm In every Inch of them, No wonder a wisitor to Copenhagen can never get too much of afternoon promenading!

The bureau of mines says that coal mines are not warmer in winter and colder in summe. The heat of the earth increases one degree for every 100 feet 91 depth.
