FIGURES OF NATIONAL INDUS
TRIAL BOARD SHOWS A TRE
MENDOUS ADVANCE.
An increase of 104.5 per cent in
the cost of.living*of American wage
earners between July, 1914 and July,
1920, is shown in a statement issued
by the national industrial confer
ence board. This figure is based on
the board’s most recent investiga
tion of changes in the cost of living,
a complete report of which will be
made public shortly. This increase
marks a rise of nearly 19 per cent
within the last year and of 5 per
cent since March, 1920, the date of
lthe board’s last survey of the prob
em.
Increases between July, 1914, and
July, 1920, in the cost of each of
the five major items making up the
family budget were as follows:
fißd: o co el penicant
Shelter -000 00 W hßpercent
Clothing ... __=-.__-_.166 per cent
Fuel, heat and light____ 66 per cent

Retail food prices in June and
July, 1920, showed an identical in
crease above the pre-war level and
‘represent an average increase of 119
per cent above prices in the year
1913. Between July, 1919 and July,
1920, food prices increased 15 per
cent, the most marked rise within
this period beginning in April, '1920,!
and continuing to June and July, in
which months retail prices of food
were higher than ever before record
ed by the bureau of labor statistics. |
The largest increases reported for
food items between July, 1913, and
July, 1920, were as follows: su;’;ar.!
382 per cent; potatoes, 368 per)
cent; flour, 164 per cent; corn meal,!
188 per cent; rice, 114 per cent,]
bread, 113 per cent; ham, 112 per |
cent. l
. Cotton Goods Advance. t
Cotton yarn goods, especially the |
cheaper and heavier grades, contin- |
ued to advance in price between
March, 1920 and July, 1920. Hos
iery, knit underwear, men’s shirts
and overalls, as well as gloves and
hats for both men and women, ad-|
vanced in price within the ‘four-'
months period. The average price of‘
certain other articles declined. The
most marked falling off in prices
noted was in the case of men’s and |
women’s garments made of wool. |
Woolen yard goods, shoes and wo-i
men’s blouses and muslin under_wear‘
dropped slightly in price between
March and July. I
Doctor’s fees and the prices of |
newspapers has been raised uneven-'
ly since 1914. Candy, tobacco, house
hold furnishings and supplies showed
large increases in cost. More insur
ance was being carried, church con- |
tributions had been increased and or- |
ganizations had been increased and |
organization dues had been raised. |
All of these factors indicate that thel
tota] increase in the cost of sundries
between July, 1914, and July, 1920,
average 85 per cent. _

A SINNER
SAYS SEXES ARE
|
~ NEAR EQUALIZATION
IMEN ARE BECOMING EFFEMIN
{ ATE; WOMEN ARE DEVELOP
ING MASCULINE TRAITS.
CHICAGO, Ill.—The two sexes are
‘coming to a point of equalization, in
| the, opinion of Dr. E. N. Schoolman,
| psychoanalytic expert, expressed in
‘an interview given today. .
Men are becoming more effeminate
and women more masculine, Dr.
Schoolman said. However, he doubt
ed if there was danger of either sex
going to the extreme in adopting
the other’s mannerisms.
“TI do not believe woman will ever
supplant man,” he said. “I think the
situation will be readjusted some
way.”
Dr. Schoolman pointed to the in
creasing number of men who are
taking positions as servants and do
ing house work as evidence of the
tendency toward effeminateness.
“I don’t mean to infer that all
men who do house work are effem
inate,” he said. “There are many
men doing it because of economic
reasons. But there are particular
cases where men are doing house
work to satisfy their craving for
things effeminate.
“Modern conditions make it un
necessary for men to be aggressive
and aggressiveness is the essence of
the necessities of life may be ob
tained without using musele in open
competition with other men also
causes effeminacy.”
On the other hand, Dr. Schoolman
said, women are balancing the situa
tion by a tendency to become mas
culine, |
“When you put a woman in the‘
position of a man she must assume
the characteristics of a man,” Dr.|
Schoolman said. “She cannot’'remain
passive, but must assume an aggress-‘
ive attitude.” |
ON COMPLAINT OF POLICEWO
MEN THAT IT’S “AWFUL” OR
DERS ARE ISSUED.
ATLANTA.—The declaration of
independence, attributed to some un
trammeled Atlantian when reproved
for dancing in a somewhat too un
trammeled fashion runs as follows:
“] shake my shoulders, |
I shake my knees—
I’m a free-born American,
And shake what I please!”
But this won’t go in Atlanta. Not
from Tuesday morning on. Chief
Beavers has considered the shimmy,
and he says it won’t go—or rather,
he says it must, go. Hereafter if
vou elect to shake a shimmy, you
must take the chances of being
shaken down in the recorder’s court
for a fine ranging from a dollar up.
It can be classed as a disorderly con
duct, charge.
Mrs. W. W. Evans and Mrs. J. C.
Davis, special: police-womeny known
techincally as the ‘“Beauty Squad,”
went in a body to Chief Beavers’ of
fice and requested authority to put
a stop to the shimmy in Atlanta
dance halls and theatres.
“It’s getting just awful, chief,”
said Mrs. Evans. “Don’t you think
8077 :
“gSo far as I know, I never have
seen a single shimmy shaken,” re
turned the chief. “So I have to take
expert opinion of others.”
Chief Beavers asked if Mrs. Evans
and Mrs. Davis could demonstrate
the shimmy. They could not, they
said—at least they would not try;
but they could describe it. Mrs.
Evans said it was like the jelly-roll
from the waist up, only more so. The
chief was not certain about the
jelly-roll,
“Well, some called it the ‘jelly
wobble,” ’ explained Mrs. Evans.
“It’s pretty awful, too, but not so
awful as the shimmy. The shimmy
is positively immeoral. It ought to
be stopped.”
The chief decided that the time
had come to put a stop to the mod
ern Babylonish tendency, or-at least
a check.
“I have heard it said, ‘On with the’
dance, let joy be unrefined,” ”” he ad
mitted, ‘but I didn’t know it was
getting as bad as this.”
Chief Beavers thereupon author
ized Mrs. Evans and Mrs, Davis to
inform all theatre managers and
dance hall proprietors that the
shimmy could not be shaken in At
lanta any more, and that any per
son caught shimmying would be
subject to arrest on a charge of dis
orderly conduct.
CHRONIC CATARRH.
Our manner of living makes us
very susceptible to colds and a sue
cession of colds causes chronic ca
tarrh, a loathsome disease with
which it is estimated that nine
ty-five per cent. of our adult popu
lation are afflicted. If you would
avoid colds or having contracted a
cold get rid of it as quickly as pos
sible. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is highly recommended as a cure for
colds and can be depended upon.
