The Government view is that bust- ness of all kinda hag been warned re- has taken a ¢ that y, 40, peatedly since the Sarmistice that a ‘ash in high prices was coming ooner or later, and that caution hould’ be exercised. Those who re- fused to heed the admonition and have been holding their goods for high prices, ignoring the downward march t prices, are suffering the conse- suences, Opinion in Government cir- vlea jnclines to the view that in most commodities the bottom has beer eached in the price curve, but that ihe consumer has not felt the drop in prices materially because so many re- iailers have naturally enough sought to get rid of their goods at prices somewhere near thelr original cost. RETAILERS NOT BLAMED FOR GETTING MONEY BACK. Nobody in the Government blames the retailer for his human desire to get back what he paid for goolla on hie shelves, but at the samo, time of- fictals point to the strike that the consumer himself initiated against high prices, For months people havo een refusing to buy until prices came down to reasonablo levels. Government officials think the} “bristmas shopping will naturally help out the retaler, olearing his shelves for new purchases after the first of the year. in order to do business next year, buying is expected to be resumed after New Year's with intensity, yet with conservatism. Menufacturers who have had or- dere cancelled because retailers were holding their goods in a vain effort to compel the ocon- sumer to buy are expected to ad- just their prices to fit the now conditions and the prediction here ia that the cost of living will come down even more in the firkt months of 1921 than ever before, While there is sympathy for the farmer there is no disposition to help nim maintain the price of wheat any more than there is to assist the re- tatler in keeping up the prices of his wares Suggestions of a farmers strilee were frowned upon by the Government when they were first inade, and there is @ feeling among responsible officials that those who!

Theré is no other nation that could have put conscription through in forty days, or have des- patched a regular army overseas to France in so short a time “We In England look to the United States to take up her full share and wo believe she will do #o in the great work of safeguarding the peace of the world,” NOME WAS THE MECCA OF HER CHILD DREAMS. Questioned concerning her motive for travelling from Vanoouver to Nome on the firat ship sailing aftor Armistice Day, Mra, Cameron ex- plained that coming from generations of seafaring people and travollors, as a child she had felt the cali of the wandorlust, and Nome had been the mecca of her dreams, ‘This most intrepid woman traveller told @ reporter for The Evening World of having travelled tho entire 2,220 miles of the Yukon Rigar, one of the four mightiost rivers of the world, to the Bering Sea, and she told of meetings with Indians and Kekimos and of the lives they lead. These Indians are not like the American type, but regemble moro the Mongolian. They have down- slanting, oval eyes, wide cheek bones and rather thick, outetanding upper lips. Their principal industry ts fish- ing and they greatly rosent the can- nerlos. ‘Mra. Cameron appeared to have taken a keener interest in the Esic- mos than in the Indlans and spoke of them as follows: Eskimos are very docile and extremely simple. ‘They live almost entirely for food and clothing, They belleve tn reincarna- tion, Consequently, they never spank a child, feeling that perhaps they may bo ohastiafng the spirit of a re- «pected grandparent, When they grow too old to hunt or fish and focl ready to depart to the Happy Hun! ing Ground, @ #on er near reliative is selected te send them there by whatever method they choose, MARRIAGE NO MORAL PROBLEM TO THE ESKIMOS, “ke to the morals of the Eskimos continued Mra, Cameron, “when couplé reach sixteen or eighteen years of age, they just wandar off and oon- sider themselves married. ‘They eet up housekeeping ‘Igtoos.’ = Should the ‘father’ of the estabiighment tire of thiy arrangement, he fust naturally neg away. Very convenient plan, is it not? “Ona the growing Industries among these people,” said Mra, Cam- eron, “is that of reindeer breeding.
