PAGE FOURTEEN ': ": " AMERICANS IN CUBA FIND COST OF LIVING HIGHER THAN AT HOME

(By Associated Press) HAVANA, Nov. IS. American vromrn, disturbed by the mounting cost of living, ought to come to Cuba. The trip would make them satisfied with conditions at home. Broadly speaking, prices In Havana

are just about double the high mark in top notch American cities. One cause, according to dealers, is the unprecedented port congestion, apparently with little hope of early clearing, and which resulted in the ruin of hundreds of tons of necessary products. Whatever the cause, the island is going through a period -of high cost described by papers here as more burdensome than that found elsewhere on the face of the earth. Even here where it is produced in sufficient bulk to supply millions elsewhere, sugar retails on the Havana market around 24 cents a pound. Mrape fruit, going to waste a few wiles from town, sells at New York quotations. Financial depression, the demand for ready and available cash, and the moratorium, under which banks limit withdrawals to ten per cent, have Tailed to start price reductions in the hope of unloading luxuries to meet weekly pay rolls. Until the moratorium ends December 1, hotels will not permit patrons to sign bar and cafe checks, a time honored custom here. Cash is needed and a man pays when he eats. Need Big Bank Roll. Conditions in Havana are of little concern to the wealthy element from the states that will be coming here soon by the thousands for the winter and racing season. Cut for folk of ordinary means, with two weeks for recreation, a big bank roll is needed. About .the lowest hotel rate is $7 a day for room and bath. And this is not at the best places, for there rates are much higher, and along toward the middle of November the ?7 rooms will letch $15. Americans living In Havana pour out a tale of woe to friends from the rtates. The women seem to be hit the hardest. Price tags in stores selling men's wear show that a good pair of men's low shoes costs as high as $28. The rainy' season is not ended, and $8 for a cotton umbrella is a "bargain." Flannel trousers are there for $25 and silk shirts for $30. A lot of odds and ends that a man needs cost more than twice the mark at home. The correspondent saw a panama hat valued at $450 and the dealer "declared that sugar men pay it without blinking. Cigarettes selling for twenty cents a package at homo cost CO here, and for a $2 box of American candy they ask $7. Two cent American papers, three days old, cost 12 cents. You may get a reaonably fair suit of clothes out of stock for $100. In most cases women's shirt waists, it was explained, cost three times the home figure. The only exception in the upward trend is the straw hat, the cost of which in about on the American scale. The only paper money in circulation here is American. The bills are so worn and utterly filthy that a man parts with them rather gladly. RANK OF TENNIG PLAYERS IS BEING WORKED OUT (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 13.

Metropolitan Tennis association here i is beine now worked out and an-'

NEW COAL MINE OPENED. ENGLISH, Ind., Nov. 13. Tho English-Princeton Oil company of this place, which last week paid a 4 per cent divident to stockholders from earnings from its gas well in Gibson county, has opened a coal mine tn one of its leases in Crawford county. The mine is located on tho farm of Henry Wright, about one mile souUi of Taswell, and it is reported that the vein is 43 inches thick, and that tho coal which is b?ing ruined is of a very fine quality, containing more than the average amount of carbon for Indiana coal. H. S. Spurling has charge of the mining operation for the company.

CRUSADE IS PLANNED AGAINST HOME BREW; RESTRICT HOPS SALE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 The internal revenue bureau in formal statements, today confirmed reports that a crusade against home brewing of alcoholic beverages is planned by the government's prohibition enforcement agencies. The bureau did not reveal, however, the means it proposed to employ in the campaign nor admit that it had approved preliminary instructions by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer directing that sales of malt and bops be restricted to bakers and confectioners. "If malt extract, hops, isinglass gelatine or other materials are sold or advertised for sale in circumstances which show that they are advertised or sold for use in the unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor," said a statement issued tonight by Commissioner Williams of the internal revenue bureau, "it is the purpose of the bureau to prosecute persons so offending. "The so-called home brewed beer manufactured in the home for beverage purposes, even though for the sole use of the family and bona fide guests, is, under the bureau's construction of the law, illegal, and the sale of materials for the purpose of such manufacture is likewise illegal. Ban Not Denied. Commissioner Kramer was still absent from the city tonight. No author itative statement, of the nature of the instructions as he has already issued in the anti-home brew campaign was obtainable. The statement of the Federal prohibition directors of Ohio, however, that he had received instructions from Mr. Kramer to prevent sales of malt and hops except to bakers and to confectioners has not been denied by the Internal Revenue Bureau, although it is understood that Commissioner Williams has not as yet approved these specific orders.

There was an apparent difference of

opinion between the officers of the bureau and Commissioner Kramer's

staff officers as to the powers granted under the Volstead act with respect to prohibiting the sale of articles employed in the manufacture of beer at home. Commissioner Williams conferred during the day with aids familiar with the act and this was followed by numerous other conferences in the bureau, the nature of which was not disclosed. Officials of the prohibition unit declined to discuss any phase of the question. Assistant Commissioner Bliss of the prohibition staff was among thoe who talked with Commissioner Williams, but neither would say what conclusions were arrived at.

(By Associated Press) ROME. Nov. 13. In the middle ages when parchment cost even more than paper costs now-adays, it was the custom to scrape old documents in order to use the parchment, again for writing. Thus manuscripts of inestimable value were lost to the world. Students and archaeologists have devoted much time and labor trying to decipher these palimpsests, as they are called, and the work has usually been done by removing the later writing with some chemical and then trying to decipher the half-erased script underneath. Professor Giuseppe Perugl, of Viterbo, distinguished by his studies in

the church who recently pledged their paleography, has lately announced the

support to the movement, the men adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, the most important issue for the church of Christ today is the strengthening of Christian colleges; for as go the Christian colleges, so goes the church of Christ, And, whereas, Wittenberg college is the Christian school dependent upon our efforts and our assistance to maintain and strengthen our church life, And whereas, Wittenberg college is today entering upon an expansion program that is both justified and promising of success; Be it resolver, that we, the laymen Appeal workers of the Second English Lutheran church of Richmond, pledge our utmost endeavor that as far as we are concerned, Wittenberg's appeal

whereby the original script returns to view entirely distinct from what has been written above it. One of Professor's Perugi's latest achievements has been to reproduce from under an uninteresting religious composition of the 15th century, the entire sixth Canto of Dante's Paradise The erasure of the poem took place about the middle of the 15th century, little more than 100 years after the death of the great poet, and the manuscript will be of value for students to ascertain whether any alterations have crept into the text since that time. There is no saying what treasures may not eventually be discovered by this means. It is believed that the system will
