FRENCH PRICES
! MOUNIING HIGH
DESPITE PEACE
l
—
PARIS.—Americans arc cheer
fully paying the exorbitant price?
charged them for necessities in
France, while the natives pay ar.d
groan, declared an Associated Press
correspondent who has been making
an investigation of French high
cost of living. Three American
j newspaper men recently paid $2 for
: a taxicab ride that the taximetei
, showed should cast about 70 cents,
A meal without wine for the three
hungry scribes cost $20.
The following figures show the
difference between the prices now
prevailing in France and those ot
the ante-war days.
Butter $2 a pound against 30
cents before the war, eggs $2 a
dozen versus twenty-two cents, and
; vegetables langing from fourteen
to fifty cents a pound could be ob
tained for four, five and six cents
previous to he war. Cheese has ad
] vanced from forty cents to ninety,
coffee from forty cents to $1.90,
Meat has advanced three hundred
per cent; chickens which were sixty
j cents are now $2 and very slim
; birds at that.
The cheapest business suit can
| not be obtained under $50 to which
must be added $10 as a luxury tax.
i Silk stockings sell for $3 a pair
and one must be careful to use the
j subway as much as possible in
order not to walk through them on
! the first day*, especially when the
fourteen dollar pair of shoes which
'Jone is wearing absorb dampness
like a four dollar sponge. Washing
comes high with soap at thirty
cents a cake and a bath is a luxury'.
Monsieur Jusserand, the French
ambassador in Washington, has re
cently returned after a long ab
sence. The collars for which he used
to pay thirteen francs the dozen
now are thirty-nine francs fifty in
the same great shop at which he
has been trading twenty years and
his sixteen franc hat has mounted
j to forty.
J Frying a $2 steak for two in a $4
j saucepan is a privilige enjoyed only
| by the rich, and a glass of beer at
j twenty cents plus a five cent tip
to the waiter tastes very bitter to
a thirsty wayfarer.
The laboring class at one time
was eating much rice. But lately
that commodity reached figures out
of proportion to the salaries of the
working man.
j Recently Food Minister Boret
! caused the arrest of speculators
j who were offering rice for sale
| at forty cents per pound. It turned
I out that the rice has been obtained
from the food ministry at the legal
price of sixteen cents a pound.
But it had had a circuitous journey
before reaching the consumer, pass
ing through six alleged brokers
who in turn levied a percentage on
the rice. They were each fined
two hundred francs and costs.

BURNS COAL WILL
BE TESTED OUT
A! POWER PLAItl
One of the three carloads of Lig
i nite coal from the Burns mine,
! which reached town last night, was
sent to the bunker at the back of
the power plant this morning, and
just as soon as the coal remaining
| in the bunkers has been used up,
I the new' coal will be dumped in
them and a test commenced.
One of the cars has been sent
into the engin house for the use of
the locomotives and the other is
I held in reserve for the present.
Several more carloads of this coal
is due to arrive in town with the
train tonight, and every effort will
be made by the A. E. C. officials
] to haul in as much of the fuel as
! possible before the breakup occur
I it is the intention of the A. E. C.
I to have a large coal reserve in N'e
nana. The elevated track in he
yard having been built for that
purpose.

I contents discharged on either side
of it.
