HIGH COST OF LIVING
IS FELT MOST KEENLY
BY ITALIAN PEOPLE
ROME, Aug. 14 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—Italy is the most
expensive allied country in which to
live, according to statistics pub
lished by the Populo Romano, which
observes that “the human body must
be furnished with 3,500 calories a
day” and that this would require a
ration equal to 500 grams of bread,
150 grams of meat, 20 grams of oil,
500 grams of potatoes, 75 grams of
rice, 75 grams of vegetables, 250
grams of milk, 25 grams of sugar and
60 grams of fats.
“Such a ration costs 26 cents in
London, 30 cents in New YorK, 49
cents in Paris and 60 cents in Italy,”
says the newspaper, whose estimate
is confirmed by the statistical society
of Berne, which shows the rise in
the cost of living in various countries
as follows:
Italy, 481 per cent; France, 368
per cent; England, 240 per cent, and
the United States, 220 per cent. Of
course, it must be remembered that
the cost of living, before the war,
was higher in America than in
Europe.
ANCIENT CHURCH
HOLDS OUTDOOR SERVICE
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 1—Ten
miles from a railroad and five miles
from a trolley line, St. Ignatius’
Catholic church, of Buchanan’s val
ley, Adams county, Pa., which is 103
years old, recently held its annual j
field mass under a wide-spreading
tree. Later there was an old-fash
ioned picnic followed by a big dinner
which was enjoyed by the former
members of the venerable flock and
their friends who had come in
response to an invitation which read
in part:
“See our little cameo church. She
recently celebrated her 103d birth
day and time hasn’t written a wrinkle
on her placid brow7. Come and wor
ship God in His temple not made
with hands. The robins will be there,
hymning, and the butterflies will
breathe their tiny prayers. ‘The west
wind will harp a lyric that is older
than the sea.’ ”

LABOR SITUATION
CHANGES IN FRANCI
«
PARIS, Aug. 1 (Correspondence o
Associated Press).—The recent col
lapse of the movement for a genera
strike is explained in some quarter!
by the saying that, while the ex
tremists were getting control of th<
Socialist party, they were losing thei
hold on the labor unions, which, 300,
000 strong befoi% the war, now haw
a membership of more than 1,500,000
The 300,000 were well in hand, it i;
said, but the 1,200,000 have brough
with them a certain independence o
thought and action. The conse
quence is that the vast majority o
union men are not ready to accep
such radical meaures as a genera
political strike.
The national committee of the labo
federation has issued a sort of plal
form declaring that production shoub
be stimulated and increased by al
possible means, and demanding cue
toms barriers be broken down, tha
inflated paper circulation be sui
pressed, that a national economi
council be organized together with
national organization to control th
provisioning of the country.
; BIG WAITERS’ TIPS

L LONDON, Aug. 17 (by mail)—The
- disappearance of German and Aus
trian waiters from the hotels and
3 restaurants of fashionable London
> with the beginning of the war has
l left the field open to English waiters,
- who are said to have been reaping a
; harvest.
* One Piccadilly waiter says he earns
i $5,000 a year, a considerable amount
) above the average; but investigation
shows that it is not unusual for a
good waiter to gather, in salary and
tips, $3,000 annually.
