Prices of food at retail in Washing- | ton decreased 3 per cent in the month between February 15 and March 15, the Department of Labor announced today. Decreases ranging from 4 to 2 per cent were recorded in 27 other ties, the department said, crediting the drop with a falling off in prices for eggs. For the year ending March 15, 1923, food prices here remained at practi- cally the same level, increasing less than half of 1 per cent. As com- pared with the average cost in 1913, however, food at retail in Washington on March 15 was 49 per cent higher than in 1913. -— WILL PLANT TREE. ‘Women to Honor G. A.

All kinds of grief are passing brief, whatever is is right; now Congress whacks the in- come tax, and makes our burden light. “It’s always so,” said Richard Roe, “with men who have the price; the skies are blue, their cars are new, and everything is nice. You walk abroad and have a wad to buy what you desire, a mustache cup, a pointer pup, a rubber plated tire, You have the dough,” said Richard Roe, “and everything is grand, the breezes sweet are good as wheat, birds sing to beat the band, But I am broke; I'd like to smoke, but can't afford cigars; my tired feet burn; in vain I yearn for rides in motor cars. I am in debt, and bailiffs get like hounds upon my trail, they bring their writs and throw their fits and rag me for the kale.
