WORLD SUFFERS!
FROM HIGH
LIVING COST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—That the whole world
is struggling with the increased cost
of living is indicated in reports to the
state department. The increases in
Europe are particularly high, al
though in Latin America the govern
ments are anxious over the situation
and are trying to find means of com
batting the difficulties presented by
the high prices of commodities deemed
essential.
In Portugal the government, in an
attempt to lower the cost of living,
has placed, through the minister of
finance, a part of its gold reserves in
the banks of Lisbon.
In England the cost of living above
pre-war level is figured at 115 per
cent for September and 120 per cent
for October as to actual necessities
of life, and based upon average living
■conditions of wage earners. A more
distinct rise has occurred in the fcost
of commodities so far as the other ele
ments of population in England are
concerned, being unofficially estimat
ed by some at approximately 135 per
cent, with a steady upward trend.
In Sweden, figures furnished by the
Swedish government indicate that the
cost of living has increased 157 per
cent over the cost in June, 1914. In
the cities the increase has been very
much greater than the average for
the country.
The Argentine government has sug
gested to other South American coun
tries and discussed with them an in
ternational arrangement with a view
to doing away with import duties on
unmanufactured food products as one
means of cutting down the high cost
of living. Information w'hich has
reached the state department regard
ing this plan is to the effect that a
suggestion has been made that a con
ference be called by the Argentine
minister for foreign affairs to discuss
this question of exchange of real ne
cessities of life free of customs
charges.
In Brazil the tariff is being revised
with a view to reducing the cost of
living in that country. In Uruguay
the percentage of increase of present
cost of living over the cost in June,
1914, is estimated by the Uruguayan
government at: Food, 52 per cent,
fuel, 4S per cent; light, 75 per cent;
rent, no increase.

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., Nov. 14
(by Associated Press).—Spruce logs
which were intended when they were
felled on the islands of the Inside
passage for use in war-time airplane
construction are making their way
into British Columbia pulp mills, and
finally will be made into print paper
for Eastern American publications.
Recently thirteen carloads of news
print paper were shipped from the
Ocean Falls plant, near here, to New
York for the New York Times. The
paper was made from spruce logs cut
on the Queen Charlotte islands for
airplane purposes.
Barge amounts of lumber left over
from the airplane stocks have been
sold to the Ocean Falls mills for the
making of news print paper.

SUFFRAGISTS
MAKING FIGHT
FOR BALLOT
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14 (by Associated
Press).—With the national suffrage
amendment pending before numerous
state legislatures throughout the coun
try, the annual contention of the Na
tional Cpuncil of Women of the Unit
ed States, which opened here Wednes
day, bids fair to be the most im
portant gathering of this organization
since its birth.
That the national suffrage amend
ment will be one of the leading topics
of discussion is a foregone conclu
sion, according to leaders of the coun
cil, and it has been announced that
all of the reports to be made on this
subject are decidedly favorable.
The National Council has local coun
cils throughout the United States,
and even extends to other parts of
the world. It has ten million mem
bers in the United States. It is af
filiated with the Young Women’s
Christian Association, the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union, the
Woman’s Suffrage party, the Wom
en’s Peace party, the National Con
gress of Mothers and the Interna
tional Federation of Musical Clubs,
as well as the two women’s political
associations.
Delegates will be chosen at the pres
ent session to represent the council at
the international council which will be
held at Christiania, Norway.
Mrs. Philip N. Moore of St. Louis
is president of the National Council, .
and the sessions here will last until „
tomorrow.
