Styles in crookedness change as they

Newspaper reading is a great help in

Merry-Go-Round.
It you think that the problems of
3 city life are new and peculiar to our
generation. ponder this: In New
York city, 117 years ago this month.
the retail price of stove-wood soared
to $21 a cord.
A great howl went up. Public and
newspapers denounced the profiteurs
and demanded a rl‘urn to the normal
price of those times—$11.50 a cord.
Think of this when you groan over the
coal bill.
Prices curing the Napoleonic wars.
and later during the Civil War. soared
to almost exactly the same average
level as we Americans had in 1920 on
the eve of the big crash.
Then. as now. many wise-heads in-
slstu'. that "prices can never go back
as low as they were."
