By ROBERT J. PREW,
rnlvena! Service Staff Cormpondtnt,
London, Oct. IS. The "high cost
nf livinsr in Enclaiid is at an end.
"The war boom is over," accord
ing to the London newspapers,
which announce the fact with prom
inently displayed streamers across
their front pages. They indicate
that the English are optimistic of
giving the knockout blow very soon
to the remaining high prices.
Durine the last six months the
averagevfall in prices on raw ma
terials has been 30 oer cent. Rub.
ber products have come down SO
nir cent, tin has tumbled 25 oer cent,
coDDer 6 per cent, merino wool 45
per cent and American cotton 30 per
cent.
Suear on Decline.
The only sensational decline
imon? food staoles. however, was
the 30 per cent drop in the price of
declaring that the output has now1
outstripped the purchasing power,
the London. Times says that the
"high tide of artificial prosperity"
has at last bgun to ebb in the
United States."
"The decline in English has been
more rapid, the Times points out,
"This was caused ov the reduction
in quotations by the selleis of goods
in this country.
Industries Hard Hit
That a serious industrial depres
sion accompanies the slump in prices
is shown bv the fact that only 2U per
cent of the-total number of woolen
worker in England are being em
' ployed at full time. Cotton oper
atives are working only half time in
Lancashire. There is also an acute
depression in the automobile, leather,
Hosiery and lace trades.
The bankers are paying serious at
tention to the statement from the fi
nancial conference at Brussels that
11 out of 12 European states will
have budget deficits this year. They
declare this necessitates further mon
etary inflation, preventing the fall in
the cost of living on the continent.
The "further riddling of the ex
change rates has resulted in anorher
curtailment of exports trom the
United States and from England

employ a special stenographic forcei
to send out notices to tnese men ic
tell them when they are to appear
and what crimes they are accused
of."

Child Falls Into Manhole
and Is Rescued Unharmed
New York, Oct. 15. Katie Helig,
aged two years, six months, did not
have a looking glass to walk through
into wonderland, as the immortal
Alice had, so this afternoon the "cute
little thing" stepped through a man
hole into a sewer.
And what adventures she had ! She
would not tell pf them. Children
never do. What is essential to this
story is that she fell for a consider
able distance, just as Alice did,
landed safely and then ambled along
for a considerable distance. She was
found clinging to a damp wai' past
which a powerful hydrant was pump
ing a powerful stream flowing
toward the East river.

exporter of manufactured articles in
stead of the raw material.
