WAGES AND PKICES. U seems unfortunate that the relation ot wages to production ran not be discussed without arousing antagonism from organized labor on the oue hand or frosting suspicion or opposition troru employers. Tfie tendency of prices to find a lower level involves changes lr wages In order that activities which are practically at a standstill may be given new lire. It Is an economic fallacy to hold to the belie! that prices of essential commodities may he lowered to meet the demands of consumers-, and wages he maintained at the heigbt reached as the result of Inflated standards of talue. Much of this inflation is the result of conditions created by the war, based on uuuslal demands fcr production in many lines. Wage earners demand that the cost of living he materially lowered before any suggestion Is made rej yarding the lowering of wages, and manufacturers and other producers reply by stating that as wages enter largely into the cct of production, they cannot sell cheaper until they ecu produce cheaper. The two views create a situation that can only be met by compromise. The merchant who is forced to sell his gocds at a sacrifice in order to get the ready money to meet his b;ll3 is the victim ot a condition that ts Just as artificial. nd therefore unhealthy, as forcing prices to a level that is not warranted by the law of supply and demand. Severe losses are suffered and some failures result, but general conditions are slightly. If at all. improved. In a few cases of the steel industry the scale of wages is based upon the selling price of the product during a certain period, and it Is a plan that has been found to work well. The merits of the plan partly consist of the recognition or both sides to the labor questionthe obligation, also of the employes to share In the losses or the gains of employers In meeting conditions of the market. It Is a form or co-operatlOD that would appear to be practical In many industries confronted with readjustments that will be difficult unless they are faced In the spirit of concession by bote employers and employes.

MILITARY CORDON CLOSES IN ON DUBLIN CENTER

A FREE-FOE-ALL GAME. Award of t!e Nobel literature prire for 1120 to Knut Hatnsum, former street car conductor In Chicago, hould be encouraging to aspirants fcr authorial honors who have not served the traditional apprenticeship and enjoyed the benefits of academic education. Hamsun today is the foremost writer of Action in Scandinavia. His works hare been translated into 'i'i languages. He wa.? discharged by tbe Chicago traction conipan; for incompetency. Instead of calling the streets, bis mind would be wcol-gaihericg and it was observed thai bis geueral inattention to his duties per-

Hamsun worked a while on a New Foundiand tishing smack and eventually found his way back to Ncrway, v.htre be began to climb the ladder of literary fame. His career somewhat suggests that of John Wssetield. who was a bartender in a New York Uowery saloon before be became a poet. Whether he saw prohibition coming and determined to enter a more secure profession, or his natural genius caused him to break loose from bis sorijid surroundings he quickly Tounfl fame and fortune in treading the sometimes slippery slopes cf Parnassus. In our own country the recent death or William Dean Howells called attention to the fact that the two rucst distinctive American writer following the school of Boston literary giants were men who not only bad never been at college, but had been deprived of even the ordinary high school education. And both were consummate roasters of their art: Mr. Howells and Mark Twain. Brander Matthews in a recent critical article paya tribute to Mark Twain's possession of the unerring instinct for the right word. Academic instruction played no part In this accomplishment. As for Mr. Howells, he confessed in his autobiography that he was ashamed sometimes to realize how deficient was his knowledge cf some of the simplest subjects taugbt la the elementary schools. Charles Dickens' schooling ceased when he was about 14. It i seen, therefore, that no budding author need despair so long as he ia able to procure a bunch cf copy paper and a lead pencil though a typewriter is more favored by long-suffering editors.

JUST A DOG. Some people love horses, some people love birds, some people love cats, some people even love seme other people, but where Is there a man or woman who does not love a dog? Not a petted, pampered, primped show dog. but Just plain dog nothing but dog from the tip cf fcfs ncse to the tip of his tall. Give a youngster a dog for a companion, and the k!d will never go to the dog:?, a dog win be loyal and friendly, bappy and obedient, mischevoue and lovable, a doggone good friend for any one. Just a plain dog will do. A dog without pedigree, without price, without anything to boast of except that he Is only a flog, with a dog's instlrcts, a dog's manners, a dog's sincerity, a dog's unswerving faith in and klndneps to anyone who will be loyal and kind to him. Just a plain dog. Jn other words, a mult, a mongrel, yes, a cur. Tie wll love his lt?t! master or His little mistress. Every boy and girl, at some time in Hte, is surely entitled to one plain, everyday, ordinary dcg.

DISTRIBUTION AND COST. The increase in frt-igbt rates ii only a part cf the Increased costs attached to the distribution of tool and other products to consumers. The freight is an Important item to be placed upon the retail cist, but it can be distributed ever p number of a nicies, thereby Increasing each article in proportion. The matter of packing merchandise for "si-sipment Is one which is causing considerable concern to producers and distributors. There was n time when appie barrels could be purchased tor MO or 4 0 rents each, hut barrels for such use now cost on n average ot $1.6, which means about 40 conts a bushel tor packi&g alone. noxes for the shipment, of dry goods were once obtained st so low n price that the merchants would give them away In order to get rid of thorn, rturii hexes HWeW i mil I I n

EMMA GOLDMAN and Alexander Berkman do not seem to be hapry In Russia, where so many persons have ideaa as crazy as their own. PERSONS WHO take tbemselve too seriously and others who do not take themselves seriously enough arji veually annoying. DR. WILEY says that Americans eat entirely too much, but no restaurant keeper is throwing out warnings like that.

A MAN MAY enjoy running into debt, but he does not show any glee over being dragged out by toe sheriff. THE PROFITEER may be depended upon to oppose attempts of the old firm of Supply and Demand to resume business.

Venizelofl intimated that, some other representative of royalty other than Consiantine might be acceptable to the noti-monarehlst population of Greece and the powers.

SUNBURN. This painful inflammatory condition results from undue exposure to the sun. and in the dryer states, it is eaused by the dry winds. You should not attempt to massage your face until some of the inflammation has subsided, but a treatment of a cooling nature, such as glycerine and maewater, or glycerine and witch hazel will be very beneficial. When the skin begins to peel a gentle massage may be followed by the application of a pure cream, leaving on a sufficient amount at night to keep the skin soft. A good powder may be then added to Keep the face from the exposure to the elements. Although it is very well to treat unburn after it has set in, an ounce of prevention is worth a pftund of cure, and a delicate cream, like the sweet cream from milk, or a rosewater cream without wax, rubbed on the face before going into the open, is a good preventative. Powder has not only a cooling effect, but protects the skin from sunburn and freckles. If the skin bums very readily the following lotion should he applied to the skin the roughly and allowed to dry on: ' Sunboni Lotion. Calamine Powder 20 gT. Oxide of Tin H dr. Glycerine lh oz. Lime Water dr. Rose Water 4,oz.

. Mix the powders with the gtycerir.e into a paste and add the lime and rose-water. Shake well before asing. The use of thismixture leaves a powder upon the skinwhich acts as the protective agent,-thas saving you the trouble of using face powder afterwards. FRECKLES AND TAN. Freckles are caused by the sun and winds, the same as sunburn. They can be removed quite easily, but the first time you are ayrain' in the wind they will reappear. I shall give you several good lotions, and yon may use the one which will better help your skin. Freckle and Taa Lotion. Lactic Acid lz Glycerine 1 oz. Rosewater 6 oz. Freckle Lotion. Rosewater 2oz.
