This is a relic of war days when those able to supply commodi- ties could sell at their own prices,.| and those who needed these commo- | dities got into the habit of paying without discussion the prices asked. Tnstead of looking forward to the traditional life of hard work, with the | hope of retiring atter saving enough to pass his last few years free from toil, the French dealer in meats or vegetables, for instance, expects today | to retire in five or ten years, Inves- tigation in small towns or P'aris sub- urbs, where conditions can be more watched than in the capital it- hows that bread, meat and vege- table shops have all changed hangds since the war, some more than once.
