Wholesale Prices In Last 150IU-S- improves
Years Rarely Stable More
Than Few Months At Time
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, July 19.-01 If
you are confused today about
price trends some going up
while others come down and
long for the good old days when
they were always steady, you may
be surprised to learn:
1. Wholesale commodity prices
have rarely been stable for more
than a few months at a time, in
the last 150 years.
2. So far prices this time have
fallen neither as Jerkily nor as
far as they have after our other
wars.
3. Some products important
now In the cost of living played
little or no part after previous
wars, wnue some old star per
formers are now retired from the
scene.
Many believe that the props
which have been placed under
prices in recent years win pre
vent any such collapse as followed
each previous war.
However, u wholesale prices
continue along the same path
they took after the first World
War, they are due to go still low
er, on the whole, before starting
up again generally.
UI course, some prices have ad
vanced already. Copper and lead
in recent days have regained a
fraction of earlier losses, and
metal circles expect zinc to fol
low suit soon. Textile prices are
lime nigner in isolated cases.
Wholesale . food and livestock
prices are stronger now than
they were a couple of months ago.
Tne course of wholesale prices
in America can be traced in the
department of labor's wholesale
price index, which economists
have stretched back to 1800 by
using historical data.
How Prices Seesawed '
Retail prices show up in the de
partment's consumers price in
dex for moderate-income families
in large cities, which slide-rule
experts have been able to push
back to 1820. Traditionally, retail
prices have been much less er
ratic than wholesale prices, ac
cording to a study of the two in
dexes to be published by the na
tional Industrial conference
board.
During the first World war
prices doubled, only to break in
1920 for perhaps the sharpest de
cline in our history. They settled
nnany at aDout two fifths high
er than the 1914 price level. They
were low again in the thirties but
started up when war broke out in
Europe. During this war, how
ever, commodity indexes were
based on controlled prices, Ignor
ing the much higher black mar
ket prices, and perhaps clouding
the true price picture.
Our changing ways show up In
these indexes. Prior to the gay
nineties the miscellaneous group

dex made up about one per cent
of the total In weight and Import
ance. Now it is 10 per cent. The
main reason is a newcomer, tires,
and the greater importance of pa
per products.
House furnishings and housing
were the hardest hit of any group
in the 1930's fewer young
couples scraped up enough
money 10 get married.
Most important erouns of all in
the indexes are still farm prod
ucts ana xooas, out iney nave lost
ground over the years relative to
the other commodities. And build
ing materials have lost almost
half their former value in the in
dex. Fuel and lighting, and the
miscellaneous group are much
more Important today as stan
dards of living change and yester-year's
luxury becomes today's
necessity.

several hundred opened new
facilities for recreation in the last
two years. They range Irom soft
ball diamonds, playgrounds and
tennis courts to wading pools,
drama groups, and arts and
crafts classes. The fastest growth
is in more activities lor older
people.
iNew nigns in lacinties, lead
ers, and funds spent on recrea

Recreation Year Book Just is
sued by the National Recreation
Association.
Expenditures for community
recreation in 1,635 cities in the
U.S. and Canada exceeded $96,
000,000. Taxes and other funds
paid 88 per cent of the bill. Near
ly one-third went for leadership
salaries. Sixty-seven cities pass
ed recreation bond issues total
ing more than $21,000,000.
There were 48,548 men and wo
men employed as recreation
leaders, and 5,899 had fulltime,
year-round Jobs. Another 89,234
volunteer workers pitched In.
Men outnumbered women in both
paid and volunteer leadership.
Playgrounds and Indoor centers

Greenland's Tip
WASHINGTON UPl New in
dications of quiet moves by the
United States to improve its mil
itary iookoui in tne far north
have been disclosed in official
quarters.
Among the projects is work on
a small naval operating base lo
cated in a fiord at Grondal, near
tne soutnwest tip oi Greenland.
This little-known installation is
used to provide limited repair
and general supply service to
ships operating in that area, the
navy says. So far as is known,
this is one of the most northern
of the navy's secondary bases in
the Atlantic and Arctic regions.
Increasing emphasis is being
placed on the possibility of air
attack on the United States
across the polar regions. Thus
both the navy and air force have
been intensifying efforts to main
tain patrol of those regions.
The navy, since the war. has
begun building or conversion of
ships and submarines Into spe
cially designed radar picket
craft. Their mission is to watch
for strange planes stealing in
across the top of the world. The
worn oi tnese crait operating on
ordinary survey missions along
the lonely coast lines of the far
north. Landing, craft and vessels
uj to 50 tons do much of this
coastal surve- work.
The air force already has asked
Congress for funds to build a net
work of radar aircraft detection
stations along the northern rim
of the North American continent
It also is seeking funds to im
prove aerial navigation of its
planes.

Soviet Explains Concealment Of "Inventions"
MOSCOW, July 19.-(m Why
are Russians Just beginning to
assume credit for inventing ev
erything from the steam engine
to the airplane?
Because the czars concealed the
facts to please foreign capitalists,
says the Soviet newspaper Trud,
organ of the trade unions.
Recent Soviet announcements
that great discoveries and Inven
tions previously credited to west
erners were actually made by
Russians will encourage Soviet
patriotism and discredit the re
gime that concealed them, the
paper said.
Further, said Trud, they will
combat the "repulsive disease"
of "sycophancy before bourgeois
culture."
("Sycophancy" is defined by
Funk and Wagnall's dictionary as
"base flattery.") "
Trud charged that Russian
landowners and capitalists want
ed to help western capitalists
encourage the view that Russia
was a backward country which
must remain dependent on west
ern Europe. Therefore, says the
paper, they suppressed news of
scientific advances in Russia.
Now, Trud declared, a list of
these inventions has become an
effective means of combatting
"cosmopolitanism" and theories of
"Anglo-Saxon superiority," which
the paper called dangerous weap
ons of Anglo-American war
In dividing recipes so as to
make fewer portions remember
that there are three teaspoons in
a tablespoon and four table
spoons in a quarter of a cup.
If it is ever necessary to di
vide an egg beat the yolk and
white together then divide by
spoonfuls; a large egg will mea
sure about four tablespoons.
