The Morro Castle, however, car- ried enough life boats to meet just such an emergency that befell it in the early, gale-sw hours of Sep- tember 8 off the New Jersey coast. That lesson had been learned. Another result of the Titanic's loss was development of the Coast and 'Geodetic survey's present sys- tem of charting daily movement of ice in ship lanes. The Titanic collided ‘with an iceberg and sank quickly. When tne ‘1wanic went down the S. 8.

Some food prices will rise, partly because of the drought, in ‘the case of meat and poultry But we are doing everything pos- stble to keep consumers informed of supplies.” ‘What To Remember Howe lists four food prices which bei are Dr. the 1.

Food price changes have not been uniform. South Atlantic states showed an average drop of four per | cent; western states showed the largest increase, one of 3.7 per and the rest of the country had an advance of about three percent. 3. ANl foods have not changed in price equally. Meats went most, 6.7 per cent. Cereals came next with a 3.5 per eent incre Dairy products advanced 26 7 cent. There was an average drop of 0.2 per cent in the prices of all other foods. 4. Farmers still are getting only a little more than one-third of the consumers’ food dollar. From 1924 to 1920 he received almost one- half. The problem is to keep mar- keting costs down, and consumers can help by questioning any mark- ed increase of retail price which is out ‘of line with ‘the advance in prices which the farmer is recetv- | Iing for raw food materials. i e MRS.
