Railroads are deferring improvements as much as possible “on account of high prices.” They report for the past eleven months an increase of many millions in gross receipts, but they are alarmed at rapidly rising costs and uneasy for the futuro, i¥o one man can check this rising tide of costa, No law can compel it to go down. If the United States is to avoid prosperity puncture; if we want good times to come to all of us and stay with us, then every artificial inflater, every usurious grabber for gains, every blind booster at his neighbor's expense will have to put on » emergency brakes. The speed law of prices is being violated too flagrantly in too many lines.

If they intend that prices in the United States shall be main- tained at the level of what they can demand of war shattered Europe reverse gear on their application for remedial legislation. It is not alone President Farrell of the Steel Corporation and his eminent associates in the Foreign Trade Council who are to blame. It is every greedy manufacturer, every producer, every seller around the board, each raising the ante of the other, For the first year of boosting the public alone was fleeced and made to pay. Now the price gamblers are robbing each uther as woll. Food products and completely manufactured articles ready for use were the earliest to be marked up. Recent reports show that raw materials and partly manufactured articles are being put up in price. The big producer is squeesing the smaller producer. One manufacturer is pinched by another whose products he must use in making his own, Then both endeavor to pass along the doubled cost to the ultimate tonsumer, It fs net prosperity but increased cost that Is being passed around, It is not a solid foundation for good times that is being laid, but a balloon inflated with artificial prices, Captains of Industry, Bosses of Big Business seem interested only in getting away with the swag while a swarm of little follow in their trail, cleaning up the leavings.

To give up smoking for a girl may once have been the ultimate proof of @ man’s love; but to share his last cigarette with her {s a much more convincing sign of devotion nowadays. Alas! A man never can be happy in a love affair. If he is not suffering from nervous prostration for fear that a girl may not have him, he is always euffering from heart disease for fear that she may GET him. Always “turn the other cheek” in @ lovers’ quarrel—but don't turn all the way round so that a man can stick pins in your back. Ah, me! If a woman could only have two husbands—one to pay her bills and one to pay her compliments, one to take her seriously and one to take her to tango teas, one to support her for life and one to make life supportable!
