HIGH COST OF LIVING STILL GOING STRONG—ASCENSIONS IN SOME PLACES, SMALL DROPS IN OTHERS.
In Germany, Wholesale Prices Rise Ten-Fold, With Living Costs
Sixteen-Fold—Austria Only County Where Definite
Decrease Is Recorded.
(Special to The Jeffersonian.)
A general downward movement of wholesale (but not retail) prices all over the world is, evidenced in figures published, although it is shown also that prices are rising to a small extent in Australia, Belgium and New Zealand, while the increase of prices in Germany and Poland is described as "violent." The falling of wholesale prices is noted, we are told, in South Africa, Austria, Canada, Egypt, the United States of America, India, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia. The higher cost of living in Germany causes no surprise to observers in that country of present political, financial and economic chaos. Press correspondence and news photographs from Germany have familiarized us with the grim spectre of bread lines as an inevitable apparition of every day in cities once among the most comfortable and best fed of the world.
In Germany, during the month of August, the wholesale price level rose teifoldt and the cost of living sixteenfold. If the movements of wholesale prices in Germany be compared with those of retail prices it is seen that retail prices have continued to follow wholesale prices, but only after a certain interval. At the beginning of 1923 this 'time-lag' was about seven weeks, but as the increase in wholesale prices grew more rapid, this period was reduced to about one week.
Apart from the change in retail prices in Germany, no other country has shown any marked change in retail prices. The downward tendency noted in the level of wholesale prices is not yet reflected in that of retail.
DUNDAIJf POLKS VISITING IN PITTSBURGH.
In fact, Austria is the only country for which a definite decrease is recorded.
In the United Kingdom slight increases in the cost of living have taken place in August and September, due to an increase in the price of dairy produce. These are the first rises which have taken place in the United Kingdom after an uninterrupted decline for twelve months.

"THE WONDER MOTOR FUEL'
In severe weather, it insures a quick, sure start, speedy pick-up;more mileage and less carbon than any other motor fuel.
The markers are similar to those on the State roads. Three or four way markers or box signs are placed at important intersections and at hills, points of interest and turns among the improved roads. At some intersections there are fan signs, giving the destination and name of each of the two ways.
According to Club officials who just completed the system after weeks of study of County roads, it is now practically impossible for a stranger to lose his way in the irregular maze of highways that covers this section. At every doubtful point he is confronted with a distinct marker in black and white that tells him where and how far he should drive. Many expressions of appreciation have already been received at the Club headquarters for this service.
