EXPECT LIVING
TO STAY HIGH
Philadelphia Board of Trade
Compiles Scores of
Statistics
Philadelphia, July 25.—The cost of
living Is likely to stay high for a
long time to come in the opinion of
the Philadelphia Board of Trade.
This view is a result of a compila
tion of statistics from many lines of
trade and Industry.
According to these figures the ad
vance in prices in this country since
1914 has been about 101 per cent., in
Canada 115 per cent., Great Britain
133 per ceht. and France 235 per
cent. It is pointed out that, in spite
of material reductions in the price of
steel, the advance in other commodi
ties since the armistice has been so
great that the average price schedules
have been reduced but 5.T per cent,
below prices prevailing October 1,
191$.
The following are given as reasons
why wages will not be much less for
a considerable period of time.
Practical stoppage of immigration
since 1914, depriving this country of
several millions of workers who
would normally have come to us and
thus have relieved the labor short
age which confronts American in
dustry upon the resumption
capacity operations.
Retention in te Government milt
tarv service of nearly 2.000.000 work
ers which, it is declared will doubtless
continue an indefinite period
Creation of new industries such as
shipbuilding manufacture of chem
cals and dyes. .... „ an ,4
Urgent demand for building and
construction of every c, f ß ® .*? bck
their having been forcibly held back
for several years.
Shortage of world food supplies and
uniformly high prices
Proportionately higher levels of
commodity prices existing through
out Europe,
Says Country Must
Save Its Forests
Washington. —"Plans for the per
petulatlon of the forests in Now
England and the Ead, and for the
restoration of the denuded forest
land should be thoroughly discussed
hv the Association of Eastern Forest
ers which meets at Kineo, Maine, on
July IT." declares Charles Lalhrop
Pack, president of the American
Forestry Association in issuing a call
to the Eastern Foresters to express
their view of the need of a national
forest policy. .
"The people of this country must
he told how our forests are disap
pearing." said Mr. Pack, "and must
be aroused to the need of a pohci
which will result in our watersheds
being protected for all time and for
our forests to be managed so that
thev may provide for all our future
lumber and forest product require
ments.
"New England is no longer a tac
tor In our lumber supplies, and its
pulp-wood supplies are being rapidly
rthaustcd. The paper mills of the
country already import 3 per cent,
of their raw material in the form
of wood or pulp. Our hardwoods in
the North and East are being rapidly
used up and many wood using in
dustries are already embarrassed for
supplies.
"The Eastern Foresters are experts
who should be able to offer a practi
cal solution to the problem of how
to conserve what forests we ha\ e
remaining, how to restore what for
ests have been destroyed, how to
protect our forests from fire and
how to provide for perpetuation of
our forests so that the lumber re
quirements of the nation may be as
sured for the future.
"We have the example of France
which was able to successfully re
sist the onslaughts of the Hun be
cause she not only had the men
and munitions but also had a plenti
ful supply of lumber for her allies
and herself because she adopted a
practical forest policy over one hun
dred years ago.
'The American Forestry Associa
tion heartily supports the demar.fi of
the United tates Forest Service for
a national forest policy and calls
upon the lumbermen. timberland
owners and foresters of the country
to suggest plans for a policy which
will be practical and which will as
sure the nation of ample forests for
its future needs."
Prohibition Closes
Famous Old Inns
Philadelphia, July 25. lnns in
existence since colonial days are
among those closed by the wartime
prohibition law.
One of the most noted is the Gen
eral Wayne Inn. on the Montgom
ery pike outside of Philadelphia,
which was opened in 1704 as the
Wayside Inn by Quaker settlers.
"Mad" Anthony Wayne used the inn
as his headquarters during the
Revolutionary War and it has been
a polling place for more than 200
years.
Turk's Head Inn at West Chester
has closed its doors. In revolution
ary times it was visited by General
Washington, Lafayette, "Mad" An
thony Wayne. Colonel Taylor and
many other officers of Washington's
army.
Porto Ricans Are
Receiving Re-education
Washington, July 25.—The Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
is leaving no stone unturned in its
efforts to find every disabled sol
dier who may, if he so desires, re
ceive education from the Govern
ment. In Porto Rico there are at
present 110 soldiers disabled in the
service, who should be beneficiaries
of the rehabilitation law. The spec
ial agent of the Board in the Island
is interviewing these men with a
view to their future vocations. Porto
Rico has no trade schools, but train
ing and placement may be made in
shops and industrial establishments
for those who desire it, and the
Government Agricultural College at
Mayaguez provides training for
those who wish to go on the Island.
