RUMAIff FIGHTS"
HIGH COST LIVING!
Bucharest. ? Ruman'.a is being
swept, with a vast wave of speculation,
the object of which is to over
ccmo mo ni^rn cost, 01 nvin^, wmtn
harasses the richest and poorest
alike. The primary cause of the advanced
price cf necessities is found
in the fact that all manufactured
products have to he imported whereas
there is sufficient amount of
food grown in the country to support
the population and this food
has not risen in proportion of dress
goods.
The cost of living in Rumania has
been the occassion of many strikes
hut as in every other country in
Europe, people seem to find unexplained
ways of buying fine clothes
and keeping themselves well dressed.
The wealthy women of this country
make bi-annual .trips to Paris
and return with their trunks filled
with shoes and silk stockings and
dresses of the latest fashion, which
they bring into the c-untry despite
the prohibition against the importation
of such articles and a'so a
25 per cent customs fluty which is
paid when special permission is obtained
to bring in roods. When such
permission is not obViincd, the goods
are smuggled in autmobibs over the
frontiers.
Princess Elizabeth went to Paris
last winter and bought herself
three huge tunks full of new clothes.
but ,nv:iv^d home heart-broken.'
While naising through Jugo-SVivia '
^during the customs examinati >n, the
trunks we e stolen.
The Am^i if an Red Cross has con-'
tributed to the clothing of a good j
many thusands of peonl? in Rumanvi.
.Some of llvs clothing found
its way to the shops. It is not un-j
common to find women who have
converted Arneii an army shirts
into skirts, fist dyeing them another
color. Blankets have also been used
for the making of cloaks and overcoats.
The American shoe is pract:cally|
the onlv article to ho found in the
shops. These shoes soil at a price
of $4 to $8, cheaper than in the
United States. Prices of clo'hing
have been increased about tenfold,
as comparer! before the war.
Women's dresses which formerly
cost 200 leis or about $.'15, now cost
2,000 leis.
The actors and actresses are still
underpaid. Rumania's greatest comedy
actress, Mmc. Marie Giurgca,
receives 3,000 leis per month, or
half the price of an expensive dress.
Music hall artists receive 20 to 50
leis a night. It is difficult for
them to live and dress themselves
well, as they have no means of mak
!- -U. li 1
ing money in sine lines, suen as in
the movinp picture industry, which
has not yet been developed in Rumania.
Cabinet members are practically
the only ones who have not had
their salaries raised. They still receive
the erfuivalent of about $200 a
year. The former minister of the
interior, Nicholas Lupu, was nearly
bankrupted on one occasion when he
was compelled to buy a silk hat to
appear at a royal ceremony.

the statement: "None of those contraptions

the supply of cotton to be exceedingly
short and said that the prospect
is for a very short crop in 1920.
The following statement was issued
by him.
"Sometime since I called your
attention to the fact that the largest
and most influential combination
ever formed was actively at work
to break the price of cotton during
this summer. We have seen the
effect of this combination in the
decline of New York futures within
the last two weeks of several hundred
points.
"This onslaught was for the purpose
of frigtening the holders of
cotton and causing them to fling
their holdings on the market. In
my former article I asked you gentlemen
to hold firmly and not be
stampeded by the activities of this
combination. After fighting down
the New York market, several hundred
points they have failed to get

is that for several days the trend
of the market has been upward, and
on yestenVw prices advanced from
40 to 140 points.
"All you have to do ?o get your
price is to hold firmly. The spinner
must have cotton. Tie cannot make

SAYS PROHIBITION
HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Washington.?America has had a
year of prohibition. Has it been a
success ?
John F. Kramer, head of the prohibition
enforcement division here,
says it has been a marked success.
We have figures to show that
theie are only about 800 saloons run
ning in New York," said Kramer.
Deer so cms to have almost disap*
pearccl, except in Pennsylvania. Intoxicants
are more plentiful In
Pennsylvania and New Jersey than
in any other states.
"As to the greatest* 'benefit
brought by a year's prohibition, 1
would say that it has been getting
strong drink out of reach of theboys
and girls who have developed
no appetite for it.
"A toper with an insane appetite
tor liquor will drink up his wife's
perfume, but one never heard of a
normal boy contracting the habit
of drink by attacking a perfume
bottle. Nor is codlive*- oil and raeo,'

The year preceding prohibition, <
Americans spent $2,000,000,000 for t
booze. The Anti-Saloon League |
claims to have figures showing that (
the past year the drinkers have ,
placed $1,000,000'000 of this in banks <
spent $1,000,000,000 of it for candy \
and that the other $900,000,000 ,
went for soft drinks, moving pic- f
turos, theatres, tobacco, bootleg, au ]
tomobilcs, clothes," shoes, groceries ,
furniture, etc. But the bulk of this *
second billion went for soft drinks !
and movies. '
Kramer says most of his troubles
have come from former saloons that
kept hanging on to see what the Supreme
Court was going to do.
