Citizens of Rio de
f'Fight 'Against Hig
Janeiro
h Cost
. . of Living
RIO DE JJANEIRO, Aug. 2--
The millicm and a quarter citizens
of, this city are 'fighting a "gallant
but losing battle against the con
stantly increasing cost ot living.
The besieging army of specula
tors, profiteers, ( corner manipula
tors, and "middlemen" are push
ing the attack with releritless vi
sor, while the desperate populace
is making feeble but bitter re
sistance. . ; .. . . j ,. ' , .
It is estimated that the cost of
living here has increased 100 per
ceui wumn ine-lasi lzimontns.
At the beginning of that: period
it was nearly double what it was
five years ago. Many .commodi-i
ties . "-. which w the common 1 people
considered necessities a few short
months ago now are looked upon
'as luxuries. -;' ".
.Not only have prices doubled
and tripled on food," clothing and
housing, but the quality of all
these things has deteriorated Just
asj" rapidly. Imitation, ' falsifica
tion, and adulteration -."have be
come so common that they no
longer cause comment, Owing to
the cost of materials, only una
voidable repairs have been made
on all buildings, and there, is
practically no new 'constrtlction
going on. .
The local authorities, recogniz
ing the' desperate nature of the
situation, are struggling to amel
iorate conditions. The municipal
council 'has created a committee
to confer with the minister' of
transportation and the agriculture
committee of the senate to seek a
solution of thej problem. .
"The street fairs which were es
tablished in every section of the
city a little more than a year ago
have become tremendously ."popu
lar" institutions; Food, staples and
articles-of clothing-and household
use are sold at these fairs at 'pri
ces considerably lower . than pre
vail in the stores. Richus. well as
poor are patrons. It Is no un
common sight to see, a richly
'dressed lady loading a limousine
with purchases! at a street fair.
Two or three of the popular
newspapers have been conduct
ing campaigns ; against .what-they
term . "The Daily TragedyT . in
which for weeks they have cover
ed their front pages with pictures
and heartening stories of the pov
erty and misery that is found in
all parts of the city, and which
they .assert has not been equalled
here in modern times.
.In- contrast to these gloomy pic
turest however, is, the undeniable
fact that never in RioV history
has there been such display of
wealth and luxury on the city's
downtown .streets, as at 'present.
The Avenlda Rio Branco, on any
.pleasant afternoon, is. almost im
passable because of the fashion
ably dressed crowds that throng
Its sidewalks, j Silks" and jewels
are conspicious, arid high priced
automobiles . 'pass In endless pro
cession. The shop windows, are
lavish in their, displays of luxur
ies sold at fabulous prices. Mo
tion picture shows, theatres, and
amusement crabs are crowded to
capacity by pleasure seekers.
. There is little unemployment,
and while wages have not increas
ed in proportion to prices, there
have been no strikes nor serious
talk of strikes! for more than two
years. Despite the Increasing How
of immigration . from Europe,
both manufacturers and agricul
tural Interests complain that they
are unable to maintain or expand!
their activities because of labor
shortage.

Sarah Bernhardt Home
PARI,Aug. .2. The late Sa
ah Bernhardt often tried to sell
her ' country house on Tlelle-Isle,
off the coast df Brittany but she
never found a purcljaser. Thd
property includes a farm.' an old

Within , a few weeks of her
death, however, a , buyer was
found at. 350,000 francs, some-
where about $20,000. He Intends
to turn 4he house Into a sumraer

and dancing on the first ; floor be
fore the present season is over.

. coin's Day Still Ply Across
White River f i
CHICAGOr Aug. 2. A scow of
the same, sort as that in which
young Abraham Lincoln and his
home-seeking parents- were fer-
Jied across the White River near
Petersburg. Ind., plies : there to
day, propelled in the same man
ner by the current, according to
Dr. William. E. Barton, of Oak
Park, in., moderator of the Na
tional Council of Congregational
churches. - ' j J ' '
The ferryman, Dr; Barton says.
doubtless like the ferryman - of
Lincoln a day, manipulates cables
from boat to shore and swings
bis craft so that I the current,
striking it at, an angle, drives it
in the direction ' desired. He
shortens one cable I and slackens
another until his prow ! points to
the shore; he seeks., The. White
river does the rest. ; ,,i
This survival jot pioneer method
was witnessed by Dr, Barton on a
motor trip from Springfield, Ky..
to Springfield, 111, in which he
traced the life journey ot Lincoln
and his parents from the place of
the parents' marriage to the place
of the son's burial. 1 U
h , While the. White iSver ferry is
representative of early conditions;
the ferry where the Lincoln fam
ily crossed . the Ohio . from Ken-,
tuckjr into Indiana is representa
tive of a .combination of the mod-
ern and -the primitive, which Dr,
Barton reported as recurring along
his route. On the; Ohio, a small
low powered, gasoline launch has
been hitched to the scow; it does
not propel the scow, but, replacing
the cables heads it at the right
angle of the curent. which furn
ishes the real power.
Similarly, a log .church once at
tended by Lincoln's; relatives re
mains: a ..log church, . but few
would appreciate it as it has been
weather-boarded. ; - ' J
Life is still primitive in parH
o tbe Lincoln country. Dr. Bar
ton states, but schools and church
es are better housed. Tractors
are unknown in the broken farm
country of southern , Indiana, he
adds, although motor cars are nu
merous, on the highways, many
of which follow trails blazed b?

Mute Congregation to
Have Church in Chicago
CHICAGO, Aug.! 2. Chicago's
silent church congregation, . com
posed of many of the 2.000 deaf
of the city, will have a permanent
church home I when the new City
Temple is dedicated, according ti
the Rer.' Philip J. Iaenstab, pa-
tor. . s ; ' : ; '
The members of the deaf mis
sion have been without a place ot
meeting of their ; own" sinco the
old First. Church, 6i the site cf
tne new edifice, was punea down.
"But the dear congregation still
holds Ita services once a week,
says Constance E. Hasenscab, as-
sistjant pastor. "Every Sunday
afternoon . they come together
from all parts of the city for their
worship service , of Script are read
ing, sermon and hymns in the sign
language.
"There is an Illustrated stcreop-
tlcan lecture, and by watchiug the
signs of the interpreter the enjoy
programs of readings, plays and
songs. We also have study cour
ses with 35 members of the deaf
congregation enrolled," , '
Twice every nionth the nero
deaf meet at Hartzell Center with
somewhat, similar program to
that given for the other members
of the church. . . ;
Chicago's work for the deaf be
gan in ; 1889, . The. permanent
church' was organized In 1833.
The Rer. Mr. Hasenstab came
here from the state: school for the
deaf at Jacksonville to organize
congregation. Recently the
work haa grown to include tiiree
state schools for the deaf in 50
cities.- ' .

Revelations of a wife
CHAPTER NO, 371
WHAT LILLIAN SAID AT MAR
ION'S COMMAND
My eyes wenti involuntarily to
Lillian's face as. Marlon's weak
littie voice made her plea to see
her "Uncle Robert." To the nurse,
of course, the name meant noth
ing, and what Dr. Pettft knew or
guessed I did not know nor care.
A physician becomes a santiiary
when he is In charge of 'a' criti
cal ' case. But to me. ' with my
intimate, "knowledge of Lillian s
soul, the name of Robert Savarin
on the lips of her little daughter
was fraught with startling signif
icance. How would she react to
the child's entreaty? - j
I . knew that her pol3e under
most " circumstances Was match
less,' but she had just been.through
what was probably the most ter
rible suspense of evenier event
ful life, and she could hot con
trol the rush of color to her pal
lid cheeks at Robert1 Eavarin's
name. But "her voice was firm
as she bent over the child.
"Of course you shall see him,
dear.. Auntie Madge will write to
him right away." j.
I was not surprised at her quick
acquiescence, although I knew
that .she was. permitting no long
ing of her own to influence her
one way or the other. But if
Marlon at this moment of restor
ation to her had asked'' for the
most' unattainable ' thing in ; the
world I think her mother would
have tried to achieve the impossi
ble for her beloved. 1 '
"Can't she I telegraph or tele
phone? Then he'll come quick
er!" . . - ' - , . : .
The little roice, though .weak.
was inflexible and imperious. ,- It
was . not. like Marion . to be thus
insistent. She is usually the most
docile child imaginable , though
one can see that she has her full
Inheritance of spirit and domin
ance. But 1 1 remembered .that the
famous artist, who. lores her moth
er so faithfully .was, nextto that
mother, enshrined highest lfl the
child's adoring heart..

I knew that there bad come to
her , a rislpn" of th'e -way Robert
Sayarin might interpret so yeh&i
ment a summons, and of his prob
able renewal of tbe plea that was
alwirys in " his heart and "on bis1
lips when be saw her. ; ; t ; . j

telegraph or telephone, Marion,"
h said-.;- "And. you. shall have
your uncle as soon as he can get
here."
Lillian looked up at him with
ttartled eyes, and'' for a dismayed
instant I shared the fear that I
knew had leaped into her brain.
Was the reason for the physician's
haste ? Dr. Pettit smiled re
assuringly, and we breathed
again.
"Please don't iumn at nnn1ii-
sjons, he said significantly. "I
; told you that everything was all
right so far. But the more quiet
and peace of mind we can give
this little lady, the more swift
will be her recovery." . -
Marion's eyes twinkled. ,
'. "Suppose I ask for the moon?"
she queried saucily.
"You wouldn't want me to break
my neck climbing for it, and. that's
what I should do Immediately,",
the physician replied, with the
tmile which he reserves for. chil
dren. He Is at his best with lit
tle people, seeming to; shed - the
stiff alofness in, which; be socially
wraps himself, and Marion Is very
iond of him. " -
Blessed Relief. .. .-'.''.'
"I wouldn't want you to break
your neck, but I'd love to see you
climbing for it." . Marion Said
meditatively, and It was T.so evi
dent she was -visualizing tbe jip
ward climb ,of the; dlghified,;.ra
ther awkward physician, that her
mental picture became suddenly
visible to the rest of us.
f. I saw . Miss ? Jones; the nurse.
bite her lips to keep her profes-.
sional dignity, but Lillian and I.
in the relaxation, pfthe. strain jtcj
whlcli we. had been sb je'ct, laflgh
