(Special to Gateway by United Press)

bullet shattered his leg. As he drop
ped the Villa band turned and fled.
Jesus said today: “I thought
Americans killed everybody they cap
tured ami l was afraid. I crawled
away and hid in the brush. After a
while a big soldier came and got me.
He was good to me. They had to cut
otf my leg, but it didn’t hurt much.
Now 1 want to stay here ami be a
real American.” Deming folk will
give the boy a chance.
TOMMY ATKINS IN
GARDEN OF EDEN
LONDON. April 17.—An officer
serving in Mesopotamia wrote home
today as follows: “The Garden of
Eden is not many hundred yards from
my camp. On the river front grows
a tree which has long, yellow beans
and feathery leaves. It is the only
one of its kind here, and ‘T. Akins’
has named it ‘The Forbidden Tree.’
In its vicinity small Arab boys hawk
cheap cigarettes, biscuits and tinned
milk and the locality is known as
‘Temptation Square.’

IT COSTS MORE TO LIVE IN
LONDONTHAN IN NEW YORK
By CHAS. P. STEWART
Special to Gateway by United Prcfcs.
LONDON, April 13.—It costs more
to live in London today than it costs
to live in New York.
It costs more to live in the smaller
cities and towns of England’s pro-,
vinces than it costs to live in the j
cities and towns of the United States. |
Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburg,
Milwaukee, Dallas, San Francisco,
Portland are cheaper place to live
than Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester,
Hull and English cities like that.
Nevertheless, Britishers returning
today from the United States insist
their country still is the cheaper for
the masses.
Their mistake lies in the fact that
the English do without many things
Americans consider absolute necessi
ties. Most such things are so high
in England today that only plutocrats
can have them.
Practically the only exception in
England’s favor is clothing; and even
clothing is higher. A good sack suit
English fit, which used to cost $20,
now sells for $22.50. The price is still
rising.
So are other prices. It is not a
gradual rise. Hardly a day passes
that an advance of 5 or 10 per cent is
not announced in some staple.
Beef 43 40 cents, mutton 28, pork
28; hardly any lamb is to be had; the
killing of calves is prohibited; bread
9 cents a 2-pound loaf; good butter
42 cents; tea 52 cents; very soft qoi*
$7.80 a ton; anthracite $11.28.
Rentals arc about the same as in
the United States but include nothing
Cooking and lighting gas in a 5
room flat cannot be kept below $10 or
$12 monthly.
Telephone calls are 6 cents each.
A five mile street car ride costs 7
! cents.
Cigars which would be dear in the
United States at a nickel a piece, re
tail in England at 14 cents.
The distilleries being used by the
government for munition making, it
is predicted that wiskey which sold at
78 to 06 cents a bottle will soon re
tail at $2.40.
The income tax has risen until it is
a fearful burden. It begins with in
comes of 130 pounds ($624) yearly.
The assessment increases more than
proportionately as the income grows
larger. A man earning $2,500 an
nually, pays 36 cents on every $4.S0.
If his income is from invested capital
the rate is much higher.
The net result is that an English
family, moving to America and con
tinuing to live according to the
English standard, would have more
money than at home, while an Ameri
can family moving to England and
continuing to live according to the
American standard, would have
materially less.
