FOOD PRICE JUMP SLADTOA A A American Liberty League! Cites 32 Per Cent Increase | During Agency’s Life. | By the Associated Press. The American Liberty League in a | statement yesterday declared retail | food prices have advanced on an average of 32 per cent during the life | of the A. A. A. and that the “con- sumer is the ‘forgotten man' of the New Deal.” The league asserted consumers al- ready had contributed $920,000,000 in | processing taxes, $280.000,000 appro- priated from the Treasury and faced possible heavy losses from operaticas of the Commodity Credit Corp. Tak- ing 33 per cent as the food share of the small wage family budget, the league said: “On this basis, the normal outlay for food from a $2,000 income is $660. An increase of 35 per cent in food D REAMING happily of her recent engagement to George, Laura was miles away mentaily from the s kitchen. Her rev- eries were abruptly broken by the jingling of the front door bell. Stopping for a mement before the tall, old-fashioned oler glass in the hall she surveyed her reflection. A not especially pre- possessing ~ double smiled back at her. The image was just a trifle dowdy and unkempt, clad m the usual fash- jon of the women . a 'Washington prices would add $231." A 148 per cent boost in lard price | was listed as the peak advance during the A. A. A, while pork chops were put at 118 per cent and bread at 26. The league said that if Secretary Wallace “decides to attempt to en- force” the potato control act, it mean a very considerable increase to the budget of most consumers.” It added: “The consumers of the country, who comprise the entire population, are paying the costs of misguided ex- perimentation. The picture is by no means as rosy as painted in President’s speech at Fremont, Nebr. “The A. A. A. has achieved no last ing benefits for agriculture. the economic structure which coun- terbalance any possible temporary ad- vantages. The experience of potato growers, whose market has been de- moralized by the products of land diverted from cotton, tobacco, wheat, | peanuts and other controlled crops, | has demonstrated that it is impos- gible to stop with half-way measures. “The inevitable end is complete regulation of all agricultural produc- tion. Consumers then would pay the prices fixed by a socialistic govern- ment.” RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE INDORSED BY PERSHING U. S. Must Return to Spirit of Asserts Religious Liberty, War-Time Leader. Gen. John J. Pershing has ex- pressed approval of the work of the Interdenominational Committee on Religious Life in the Nation's Capital. In a message from Paris to Rev. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of Wash- ington Cathedral and secretary of the committee. the A. E. F. leader said: “The founders of our Nation in- herited from their American ancestry the very spirit of religious liberty. and it was in that spirit and based upon | that spirit that they established the United States of America * “We have been prons in the past few years to wander from this concep- tion of our Government. bu: if we are to transmit its institutions to poster- ity. we must return to this basic idea as our guide.” Gen. Pershing wished the committee every success and pledged his personal assistance. “BIKE AND H.|KE TRAIN” DRAWS 191 PASSENGERS Boston and Maine Innovation Furnishes Novel Outing and Revives Bicycling Interest. By the Associated Press. FABYAN, N. H.. October 7.—Bicy- cling made a comeback here yesterday after the first “bike and hike train” of the Boston & Maine Railroad ar-| rived from Boston.

Forty-two of the wheels used were rented in the “bicy- cle” car of the train. Said to have been the first train of {ts kind on an American railroad, the excursion will be operated regulariy, along with its “snow trains,” which visit Winter sports centers.

Watching her walk away down the sidewalk, Laura’s mind returned to speculate upon the subject Anne had brought up. She realized that in a ! week she had only seen George twice, instead of the regular evening visit. It was 8 o'clock when his small car | pulled up before the Carlton home | and he came striding up the shaded walk. Laura, meeting him at the | door, held up her face for the usual greeting. Kissing her, George sug- gested, “Let's just go for a drive to- night, what say?” While they were driving Laura no- | ticed that he seemed, to be pre- occupied, merely staring ahead at the road instead of chatting gaily as he usually did. She decided to discover just how the land lay. “By the way, George, have you met that Miss Pritchard yet?” she casually inquired. “Why, slightl; peared startled at the question.
