Almost a 3-Point1ncreasc in Au- gust Over Same Month in 1912. A despatch from Ottawa says: The cost of living index number took another jump upwards last month from 135.9, the figures for July, to 136.2. In August, 1912, figures were 133.3, so that there was -nearly a three point- incrc-ase in August of this year compared with the same month‘s. year ago. “And,” say the officials at the Labor De- partment, who compile the average cost of prices every month, “the prospects fer any pronounced drop in the average cost of the commodi- ties classified under the list of necessities of life are not- very bright." The cause for the advance in the _average cost last month was prin- cipally due to the increase in price of potatoes, eggs, canned lobster, anthracite coal, grains, and fodder. Such things, as beef, lamb, lake trout, Whitefish, canned peas, and coffee dropped a few points. Meats are a little higher in price than they were a. year ago, but grains A and fodder are lower. ,_ a...“ A NEW DIRIGIBLE. British-built Ship Has a Lifting Capacity of Five Ten.
