Having gone so far there is no reeason why • they shoud net go farther, and there is no saying •where- the 'end may obs•. Naturally, this condition of things gives rise to _.ttneasinesa,x fu T. ., . tOremOrigaseliite has gone Up .. tri 40e. per gallon;, sugar to' $17 ,per hundi•t 1weight. • And if gasoline goes to 50c. and sugar to $20, what are you go pg to do about it? Shoes and clothing also are getting up to prices which look prohibitive to the average man. While the war was in progress t'nd millions of gallons of gasoline were being consumed each week in the tanks and areo sonable explan Jars ,'Lilr\ ::11111' :sho anes there was rea- iuu of u scarcity suet <1t ties, i r+ t t i 1 T1'w e•yl►latue(iurl uj,elii"1 clothing anti- other things —ev erything wasbeing consumed by the armies. - When the war ie over, we said, prices will come down. But it is since the war ended that the real advances inmanyy common necessities have taken place. It is said that in Russia, where organized industry has, largely broken down, the peasants have gone back to primitive methods of 'gaining a liveli- hood. They spin and weave their home-grown wool into cloth- ing in the home. They are also mak- ing their own footwear, and grinding their wheat in the, little old• -fashion- ed mills on the farms.. The flour will be black, but it may be wholesome, and the clothing and shoes will not be stylish, but they will be war.n and will wear well. The Russians were not far removed from the primitive mode of living, and had little difficulty in going back tg it when prices of factory made articles became outrageous. That remedy is not open to the people of Canada and the United States. In Russia modern manufacturing methods broke down; here the few who specialized in a line of work got on to the idea that no matter how they raised the price of essentials the people would buy. They can't make their own shoes and clothing and grind their grain as the Russians are doing, so they find the price. People can do without sugar, though they think that they cannot...As for gaso- line, it is so largely used in industries •end in travel that to many it is abso- lutely necessary, and there is no sub- stitute. Another outrage is the Brice of lumber. Good pine.lumber at Ottawa is up to $125.00 per thousand feet, and hemlock is not far behind. It is d.fF- cult to believe that there is good rea- son Tor such a price -as this. But the lumbermen have the lumber, the peo- ple must have houses. and what are you going to do about it? None but the backwoods settler can escape„ This price -boosting cannot go on in- definitely. There must be an end; and what then? It looks as though it must end in a general paralysis of business w.th very hard times for all those outside the very comfortable classes• LATEST NOTES OF SCIENCE 'One of the newer English • automo- biles has a five -cylinder, air cooled engine. all of Peru's 700.900 square miles• of territory there are only about 1,700 miles of railroad. • e Layers of steel asphalt, asbestos felt and a water proofing compound make up a new rooting material.
