Believe It Will Be
Years Before Living
Conditions Near Normal
Coblenz, Sept. "3.—Living condi
tions In the interior of Germany are
rapidly adjusting themselves as a
result of the lifting of the blockade
by the Allies. According to the Ger
man newspapers, however, it may be
years before food prices become
normal or virtually tho same as
they were before the war. Some
German editorial writers, complain
ing of high prices at the present
time and during the years of war,
contend bitterly that the low cost
of living enjoyed by Germany for
so many years is forever past.
As an indication of improvement
In the food situation in one Ger
man city the Kolonlalwaren Zoitung
of Leipzig of recent date says:
"Profiteering trade prices plainly
show a falling off since the lifting
of the blockade. The overcharges
on pork have long since been re
moved and the fat shortage has
ceased. Everywhere one finds in

when, at seventy, his country pitted him against
Europe's foremost diplomats, his keen intellect and
oid-fashioned honesty won their victory.
In like manner, his fine old razor was a thing of time-tested virtue
—good heft in the hand, right shaving angle on the cheek, prac
tical working length. All that Franklin's razor lacked to make
it a perfect shaving tool was the double-edged, guarded blade

For Bartender's Place
New York, Sept. 3.—When Jack
Joyce, who dispenses brew of the
2.75 variety, was about to depart
from Foley's cafe at No. 92 Broad
way, Flushing, L. 1., the other night,
and patrons urged him to remain a
little longer, he declared he would
not.
"There are at least a thousand
persons in Bryant Park looking for
my Job; I've got to be back early
in the morning," he said.
More than one thousand men
went to the saloon or telephoned it
yesterday in answer to an advertise
ment which had been inserted in a
morning newspaper:
"Bartenders, two, first class; ref
erences from last employer; $35
1 weekly, meals. Jere Foley, 92
Broadway, Flushing, L. I."
Foley is endeavoring to ascertain
who inserted the advertisement.
They Dance, Then Blister;
Fox Trot Is in Danger
Baltimore, Sept. 3.—The dancers
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and Delaware are alarmed over a
new contagion known locally as the
"fox trot blister" which has broken
out among them and which threat
ens to stop all dancing in that sec
tion unless a remedy can be found.
The "fox trot blister" is a skin
eruption which physicians as yet
have failed to identify by any other
name. It is found principally among
those who dance the latest steps,
as these bring the faces of the
dancers in close contact. Thus the
spread of the malady is easy, phy
sicians say. Tho disease causes
blisters on the face. The ailment
first made its appearance at the
Delaware and Maryland seashore
resorts.
Women Scorn Cheap Shoes
Even if They Are Good
Washington, Sept. 3. —Chairman
Esch (Rep., Wis.) of the House
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, in stating yesterday
that the solution of the high v living
costs and unrest over the country
was in more work and less spending,
cited a conversation with a shoe
manufacturer as an illustration.
The manufacturer told him that
recently the concern decided to put
on the market a woman's shoe at
$6 to $8 a pair. The shoes were
not inferior in quality, but low ac
cording to the present price scale
After a short time the shoos had to
be withdrawn because they wouldn't
"turn over," the manufacturer said.
"What the women insisted on,"
he declared, "was not a good shoe,
but a shoe for which they could pay
sl2 a pair."

Fireman Gives Blood and
Skin; Saves Lives of Five
Philadelphia, Sept. 3.—Ambrose
M. Sherman, a city fireman recently
returned from France, is now re
covering from his fourth blood trans
fusion operation.
Mrs. Catherine White is in the
University of Pennsylvania Hospital
and will regain her health, the doc
tors say, aB a result of Sherman's
sacrifice. Two other women and a
child already owe their lives to sim
ilar actions of Sherman. The last
operation took place yesterday.
"It wasn't much to do to save a
persons lite,' the fire fighter said,
a little pale and weak, but seem
ingly not otherwise bothered by the
loss of almost a quart and a half
of blood.
Anybody Could Do It
"Why, anybody in good physical
condition could do the same thing,"
he continued. "How could I refuse?
A friend asked me if I would sub
mit to the operation. Mrs. White,
he toid me, would die unless some
one volunteered for the work.
"I wasn't in exactly the best of
condition," he said, smiling wanly,
because of his self-sacrificing per-
France, where myself and others of
the north bombing squadron of the
•
Naval Aviation Department had a
pretty tough time of it. But the
doctors examined me and passed
me, so here I am." *
The fireman did not mention that
because of his self-scarificlng per
sonality he had a "tougher" time
than most other members of his
outfit.
He didn't tell of digging back a
wounded comrade in the face of a
galling artillery barrage, and then
offering his blood to save his com
rade's life.
"It's all in the day's work in the
Navy," he said, when reminded of
those things.
