e- Facts tending to show that the ex-
ez cess profits tax is not responsible for
lat present high prices formed the topic
of Prof. David' Friday's talk before
the feshman assembly Monday aft-
ernoon in Hill auditorium.
ac- "It is the general opinion among
°n, business men, bankers, and many oth-
m ers, that the excess profits tax is re-
ar- sponsible for present high prices," he
ile stated. "They say that prices, niust
ne be raised to cover the amount of
ce money the government takes in the
in form of this tax.
'as "The first rise began about the end
pie of 1915," he said. "Prices ha I risen
ids about six per cent by Detember of
that year., By the end of 1916 they~
had risen 40 per cent, and by March,
he 1917, at the time we entered the war,
.za they had risen 61 per cent, and at this
v- time there was no excess profits tax.
ite Since then they have varied, with an
increase amounting to about 197 per
on cent at the time of the armistice.
Les This, of course, is based on a general
ns average. Prices have risen more than

by income tax was only one-half as large
.in- ?s in 1917."
S. The present price system, whereby
ists some make an enormous profit and
be- others make practically nothing on
the same product' was declared by
Professor Friday to be a big fac-
_ tor in high prices of today.

French Play Characterized by Smooth-t
ness and Lack of
Monotony .
DIFFICULT PARTS CARRIED
EASILY AND ARTISTICALLY3
(J. I. D.)
Smoothness that can come only as,
the result of painstaking direction was
the outstanding characteristic of the
14th annual production of the Cercle
Francais, "L'Ami Fritz," which was
presented last night in Sarah Caswell
Angell hall. While this year's com-
edy lacked the opportunity for action
of last year's "Nos Intimes," the play
was so unusually well done that
breaks- and monotony were very lit-
tle evidenced.
David A. Watts, '21, as Fritz Kobus,
the high living bachelor bore the bur-
den of the acting with a vigor that
was pleasing to sa'y the least. Vie
demonstrated a marked sense of dra-
matic values making the most of this
part and repeated on a larger scale
his success of last year Watts pos-I
sesses a fine stage presence and cre-
ates a character that holds the audi-
ence's attention for every minute he
is on the stage. These qualities
make up for any slight deficiencies in
his accent.-
/ Jiras Scores Hit
B. C. Jiras who upderto6k the dif-
ficult character portrayal of the Rab-
bi David Sichel scored a decided hit;,
his pronipciation was excellent and
he exhibited a good sense of balance
in his acting.
Margaret Beckett, '22, in the part
of the demure little da4rymaid-
heroine, was self-conscious when she
was supposed to be, and fitted pre-
cisely into a part that wa ultra-
ingenue.
Difficult Part Handled Well
A. J. Himmelhoch, '20, made a suc-
cess, of a very difficult part of the
overly enthusiastic gourmand.
W. G. Sharp, Jr., '22, played the
