Before the war cutlery stamped
“Made in Germany” was common in
South America. Now “Made in U. S.
A.” is the stamp noticed on the cut
lery in Brazil and other south Ameri
can countries. American cutlery is
finding a good sale there and the
American razor is about the only one

WOMEN TOOK THEIR PLACES
The elevator runners in the Wool
worth Building in Manhattan struck
lor more pay and shorter hours, but
they forgot that during the war many j
women learned to run elevators. Im-!
mediately after the runners struck,
their places were filled by women and
when half of the men were ready to go
to work they found that women held
their jobs. The elevators kept on
running, much to the chagrin of the
former operators.

POTATO SELLS FOR 18 CENTS
Years ago, when the housewife took
or sent her kerosene can to the gro
cer to be filled, the grocer was in
the habit of sticking a small potato
•n the spout to prevent the kerosene
from spilling. Today potatoes are too
high to be treated so lightly. Only
the other day in Muncie, Ind., a gro
cer sold a potato for 18 cents. The
spud weighed two pounds and the
gTocer made two cents on the trans
action. Today it is cheaper to spill
the kerosene than to waste a potato
by sticking it on the spout of the
•an.
HAS ELLA CHANGED HER MIND?
A woman claims to have been in
communication with the late Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and to have received
a poem from the latter in Spiritland.
A Holyoke man, in the Springfield
Republican, calls attention to the
warning given by Mrs. Wilcox, when
alive, that she would send no poems
from the other side. Perhaps in the
ether land women change their minds
as often as they do in this old world.
The poetry communicated through
mediums usually is not up to stand
ard and it is to be hoped that Mrs.
Wilcox will stick to her determination
made in the flesh.

NO, THEY DON’T WANT TO SELL
Prominent Chicago women are not
above doing a little profiteering when
they have the opportunity. The ho
tels of the city will be crowded dur
ing the five days of the Republican
national convention and an appeal
was made to householders to rent
their homes, or rooms in their homes
for the five days. One woman offers
her house for $3,000 for the week of
the convention Another asks $2,500.
A third wants $2,000 for her house of
11 rooms and three baths. Others
ask $1,000, $800 and so on, but all
the figures are high. The treasurer
•f the convention says that so far the
Chicago hospitality offered is of the
profiteering variety.
WHEN MONEY IS CHEAP
A reader of The Times asks for an
explanation in simple English, why
the dollar to all intents and purposes
i* worth only about fifty cents.
There are many reasons, and to ex
plain them fully would take a great
deal more space than is available.
Kconomists have written scores of ex
planations of this one subject, and
then have not touched upon all the
i
reasons, and their relation to one
another.
Back of the entire problem, how
ever, is the matter of supply. Every
one knows that the less there is of a
i certain product, the more it costs.
Diamonds are more valuable than
coal, not because one is white and the
other black, but because diamonds are
rare and coal plentiful. It is the same
way with money.
From 1914 to 1919—the period of
the war—fifteen of the leading govern
ments of the world caused to be
printed and issued about $36,000,000,
i 000 in paper money. This money was
nothing but promises to pay, and it
is worth recording that the United
States issued more than two and one
half billons of this amount in addi
tion to floating 22 billions in other
promises to pay called Liberty bonds.
With so enormous an increase in
supply, is it any wonder that the mon
ey of the world is held cheaply?
