"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 ay 3.-T .e Carran y gave re argest st& fi light ac- 50 per cent in the last year, when the 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.

WATTS A lND IIRASM SI N ,, 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.
