ANOTHER UNNECESSARY RISK.
Tsn't the chv taking an unnecessary risk in allowing the wall

path where the sidewalk formerly was? During the soft weatl

comparatively little danger f anyone using ordinary care tailing
over the wall, but a coating of snow and ice will pul t very different
phase 00 the matter, and if someone takes a sudden drop ol ten,
twelve or fifteen feet off the wall there is very likely to he a damage
suit that will le expensive. And unfortunately the street at that
point is not always well lighted. Ofi at least one ccastOn the safe
ty isle lights have been out for the greater part of the night, if not
for all nifht. When that is the case the place is dangerous for
anyone not familiar with the ground. This portion of the side
walk could le temporarily closed without great hard-hip to anyone.
People living east of State street could go over to Christie tr;et
and down jo public steps without adding much if anything to the
distance traveled. C ustom make- the old mute the popular one
and the steps are objectionahle to many. They are not models ol
comfort or satetv it is true, hut

slippery walk at the top of an unguarded wall. , Walking in thi
nadwav on ( ourtnev street is dangerous at best, and with the roai
way in tiie deplorable 0 ndition it now is. and in which it must in
all probability remain for the balance of the winter at least or until
the necessary settling takes place, it is doubly so. Autos going
up and down the bill between them use the whole street, and upon
the assumption that they are entitled to the whole roadway, pay!
little or no heed to pedestrians. With the unevet

INCREASING PURCHASING POWER OF THE DOLLAR.
The American dollar, the present standard of value for nearly
the whole commercial world, is coming back to its own purchasing
power. The near collapse of commerce Occasioned by the world
war was felt less severely in this

i ins was m -iay, 1920, vvneu wnoiesaie prices reacnea Hie apex. ,-1
It was then that that one dollar would procure only a little more than
a third of what it did in pre-war limes. This is shown bv -1 tabula
tion recently issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics,
which shows that the general wholsale price level in ( Ictober averaged
fifty pei cent, above that of 1913, the year preceding the war.
Wide fluctuations are still shown to exist w hen considered bv groups.
Compared with 1013. wholesale prices, food products as a whole
are only nineteen per cent, higher, while M ine foods are forty-two
per cent, higher; clothing and building materials are away above
the ju-3 figures, in some cases reaching ninety per cent.; fuel is
eighty-two per cent. ; house furnishing goods one bundled and
eighteen per cent., while metals and metal products are but twenty
one per cent. These estimates are based on wholesale prices in the
markets of Chicago. To the consumer the ratio mav have lluctuat
ed still further, it depending in a great measure on jhe disposition
of the retailer. The statistics furnished bj the goternmeni indicate
that while wholesale prices Of food in the year ending October 15th
fell off thirty per cent., the retail prices to the laboring man's
family dn pped but twenty-three per cent. If the figures are cor
rectly stated it seems to be the case of "Get all you can. while the
getting is good."

It seem as though no soldier should

professor. Mr. Welsh, in spite of Ms
rubber tired" glasses, proved him
self to bo, as capable depicting the
character of a middle aged bachelor
professor as he has of playing the
light aud debonair characters on pre

Jimmy, the stable boy, were tho com
