53 to f.3 when voted upon last week.
The community chest ballots are
printed on blue paper and are the only
ones that will be counted. These are
returnable with the final election bal
lots in the numbered envelopes pro
vided for that purpose.
A greater interest in the referendum
is being displayed ecause of the
closeness of the previous vote and it
is the desire of the board of directors
that a greater number of the members
avail themselves of the privilege of
voting in order that a true expression
of the membership may be obtained.
Both ballots arc absolutely secret.

"The Education of Elizabeth," which

education is in progress, there are
scenes of exceptional interest and up

the feeling that he has made the

true. The supporting company head

PARIS. The Fu-ncli householders
are still paying more thai: four times
the pre-war prices for the necessities
of life, although there has been a big
decline in the ccst of living.
The French government has made
public figures comparing the living
cof;t in France with those in the Unit
ed States as given by llnidstreet's and
for Great Britain, as given by the
Statist. These show that the peak of
the cost of living in all three countries
was attained in April, 120. Taking
the prices of 1913 as normal, or 100
percent, the prices of necessities in
April last jear are given as 687.5 per
cent in France; 225.1 in the United
Suites and 313.1 in Great Britaiu.
According to the government fig
ures these percentages had declined in
December last to 434 percent in
France and 243.5 in Great Britain. Tho
figure for the United States in No
vember last was given us 147.!) per
cent. The December figures veto not
given. Most of the French newspapers
find the joy of the reduction in the
cost of living tempered by knowledge
that It is still more than four times
higher than in 1913 and that it is ac
centuated by much unemployment.

Your dollar, paid out for a necessity, does

"Good times" are coming back with the
sunshine and the flowers, with the hum

In the automotive industry the news is
encouraging. Passenger car and truck manu

spring with increased activities to satisfy
.the coming demand.

The island is 13 miles long, ami
