CHICAGO, Oct. 3. — "When '
business settles down to nomal
again, the new average level of
prices and wages will be 60 per
cent higher than in 1913..
I made that prediction last
March. Recent business develop- '
ments are proving its acturacy,"
says Halbert P. Gilette, economist I
and editor of Engineering and
Contracting.
Gillette calls attention to the f
price index compiled by the gov-1
ernment's Bureau of Labor Statis- '
tics. This index shows that, on '
the average, the wholesale price
of a given amount of commodities
has been as follows:

ready t stabilize, are pointed out
by Gillette, as follows:
“ONE: Between June, 1920

declined about 25 per cent. But.
for the 'past four months, they
have remained almost stationary.
“TWO: A similar constancy in
the number of freight cars 'load-
ed weekly has occured during the
game four months, while the tons
caried one mile (ton-miles) have
increased slightly.”
* . MONEY DANGER
“Most economists hold that the
wage and price levels change with
changes in the volume of money
and checking deposits—the two
combined being the measure of to-
tal buying power," says Gillette.

been the case, wage levels would

of stories with the Cinderella
theme. •
All of us plodding mortals lore
that some day some fairy goi-
mother will relievo us of our
drudgery. So we like stories and
filns that tell the story of raga-
mullin 01 orphan lifted to wealth
and happiness.
Sncli a story is “Queenie,” Miss
Mason s'latest vehicle.
Queenie lived in the basement
of a miser’s mansion. She was a
"patch and darn” girl and an or-
phan. Life was presented to her
only in its seamiest aspects.
Then one day her hat blew off
as she struggled with a double
armload of groceries. A struggling
poet picked it up and placed it
on her head. Thus romance came
Ihto her life.
She won the heart of the old
miser, but a conspiracy of his ser-
vants removed him from the
scene. Queenie was almost mar-
ried to a worthless nobleman
thru the machinations of the ser-
vants.
But this was to be a Cinderel-
la story. The old miser returned.
So did the poet. The only thing
