Ferreting out the means of "nor mal" as applied to economics, Web ster's is resorted to, and this is found: "Pertaining r conforming to a piore permanent standard, from which, if individual phenomena de viate on either side, such deviations 1 are to be regarded as self-corroc-tive." This definition was offeied to Cecil P. Elraes, an eminent Chicago engi neer, for translation. ' "It means," he said, "that the 'normal price is aprico which corre sponds to the cost of production. The standard to which a price must con form is, therefore, not necessarily a price that we were accustomed to five years ago. Past experienco Las established no mathematical stand ard to which d price may bo expected to conform. In 1919 the standard is the cost of production in J 919, and not the 1914 cost of produation. .

The only criticism for the present prico of shoes is the present cost of pro duction of the shoes plus a reason able margin of profit to those con cerned in the making and selling of the shoes. Similarly this applies to street car fares, eWtri -light, gas h4 tftlepholM Wl. And sirietly "The fact that a price has been a fixed amount in the past is not nec essarily an indication that it is a 'normal' price in 1919.
