How Would You House, Feed
and Clothe Yourself, a Wife and
/ Two Children on $40 a Week?

LOW a a family of four-man,
wife and two small c~hildren-best
live on a weekly wage of $40? In other
words. how should that amount of
money be divided to purchase the ne
Acessities of life, to permit a little rec
reation and to set aside a small amount
for incidentals M emergencies?
For the six best letters answering
this problem the STAR will give cash
prizes. To the writer of the best an
swer $40 win be awarded: the second
and the third, S. each; the fourth 50
and the fifth and sixth, 81 each.
The contest will be kept open for two
weeks and the judging will rest in the
hands of the editor. Should two let
ters be deemed of equal worth the prize
will go to the one received at this Of
flee first.
Day by day as they are received the
letters will be printed in the evening
edition of the STAR. They must not
be more than 200 words in length and
should be written only on one side of
the paper. The full name and address
of the writer must be given, but if
so requested only the initials or a
nom de plume viii be printed in the
paper.
This is a problem that should inter-
est every woman and many men. 1t
is open to both sexes alike. 1t is not
alone a problem in economy but one
Of economies; for underlying the home
question is this one: if the heart of
the government is in the home, then it
is good logic to say that if the home is
an unsatisfactory one, those who COM
prise that home circle will be dis
satisfied with the government.
You would be surprised to learn how
many families in Newark are living
on $40 a week-and less. There are
men in this city who are supporting
large families on Sc and 81 a week, ant
the man making $40 is comparatively
