rMprloN OF Foop PER tvpIvIDuAL ADULT
In spite of the far higher standards

In spite of the far higher standards of
living in the United States, we find that
the average cost per family of all kinds
of food is proportionately much less,
being $243.65 in the United States and
$222.5 so in Europe.
OF 2,490 families reported for the
United States, $40 own the houses in
which they live, or about one in every
five: while of the 40 European families
reported only thirty-one own the houses
in which they live, or about one in every
twenty-five. Again, when we consider
the number of rooms to each family
(among those families who do not own
their own houses. we find that among
1882 families in the United States the
average is Al rooms TO the family, while
in Europe the average number Of rooms
per family is only 81, and on the other
hand the average European family is
larger than the American. In 1917 Of
the 2,490 American families the husband
supports the whole family; in the other
families, keeping boarder or two is the
principal other means Of support, the
wife and children contributing to the in
come of the family in comparatively
few cases. Of 10 European families
the husband is the sole source Of support
in only PSI; in the remaining families
the other source of support is the work
of wife and children.
Another interesting table is the table
of expenditures for incidontals. The
average sum spent per family for differ
nnt itams is shown as follows:

WORKERS In IRON.
THEIR MODE OF LINING HERE AND
ABROAD DESCRIBED.

The Kind of Food They Eat and How

Spend Their Earnings-Faets, Not The
cries.
The sixth annual report of the COM
missioner of labor on the cost of produc-
ton Of iron and steel gives some inter-
esting facts about comparative income
and cost of living among American and
European iron workers. Judging by the
statistics coming from this reliable
source, our protected iron workers live
more comfortably and save more money
than their European brothers, thus show
ing that, while under Protection we have
become the greatest iron producing
nation in the world, this has been ac-
complished by no grinding down of
labor in order to curtail cost of produc-
ton. But paying our workingmen near
ly twice as much, we have outstripped
Great Britain in one of her most cher
ished industries, and have proved the
truth of Projections cardinal doctrine
that the best paid labor is in the end
always the most efficient. One of the
most important tables is the following,
which shows the comparative standard
of living:

Tommy White makes a Monkey"
of q Heavy Antagonist.

The monthly entertainments at the Henne-
pin Athletic club. Minneapolis, improve IN
interest each month. The one given last
night was The best since the days OF the
old Twin City Athletic club. 1t began
with a four-round setto between
couple of local featherweights, LeMeyer and
Gilchrist, the latter a colered boy. Honors
were even until the last round, when the col,
oTed lad laid the other ont with well di-
rected swing. The second contest. of four
rounds. w0s between a white man Introduces
as Young Stinson, of Chicago. and black
man, called the Rhode Island Comet. The
Comet did not leave trail of fire
behind him. The set.to was tame but
amusing. The event of the evening" was
between Tommy White, the indicated
featherweight of Chicago, and Charley Webs
Der. of ST. Paul. At the start Weber, who
weighed fully fifteen pounds more than the
Chicago man, tried strangle holds. half-Nel-
sons. back holds, hip-locks, ana almost every
thing that would enable him to exert bruie
strength, to tire White and SO beat
him. He failed utterly. He seemed
able to neither lead nor counter. line
best he could do was to take every punch
that White offered, and. through his greater
strength, stand up. Nothing expresses
Whites treatment of him better than to say
that White made monkey of him." Web
Der landed not one clean blow, and White
pushed his left into the St. Paul mans face
whenever he pleased and swung his right
much oftener than was relished by Webber.
White is one of the cleverest little men ever
seen in Minneapolis. Tom Gallagher was
referee.

down before the assembling of the ma

Manager Robertson explains this by
saying that the company cannot afford

as yet, how the underground system
will work. All Of the other companies

theirs down first. Those of the North
