Almost a 3 -Point Increase in Au- gust Over Same •'11Iontli in 1J13r. A despatch from,.. ,,,a awa slays: the cost of living number took •another jump upwards last month from 135.9, the figures for July, to 136.2. In August, 1912, figures were 133.3, so that there was nearly a three point increase in August of this year eompared with the same month ayear ago. "And," say the officials .at the Labor De- partment, who compile the average cost of priers every month, "the prospects for any pronounced drop in the average cost of the commodi- ties classified under the list of necessities of life aro not very bright." The cause for the advance in the average cost last month was prin- cipaily due to the increase in price of potatoes, eggs, canned lobster, anthracite coal, grains, and fodder. Such things as beef, lamb, lake trout, whitefish, canned peas, and coffee dropped a few points. Meats are a little higher in price than they were a year ago, but grains and fodder are lower. ed- A NEW DIRIGIBLE. British -built Ship Has a Lifting Capacity of Fit Ton.
