HOW PROTECTED" MEN LIVE
tts 6eneflcfarles Surely Have, Reason
to Rejoice That They Exist In
Its Shadow.

Two-thirds of the steelworkers re-
ceive a wage not greater than $12 a
week; only one-fifth receive more than
SIS. Let us e what a wage Of $12
will do in Pittsburg. Fortunately we
are able to draw upon Miss Byington's
careful study of the budgets of 80
Homestead families. Thirty-two Of
these had less than $12 a week. Their
average weekly expenditures we're
$9.1S-or at the rate Of $477.3 8 a year.
How do the families fare who spend
from $12 to SIS a week? Miss Bying-
ton gives us the items for 16 families
in this wage group, with an average
total expenditure of 1892, or a scant
$500 a year. These families pay about
$40 a month rent, but ten of them live
with more than two persons to a room
and only Ave have city water in the
house. They pay on the average "a
cents per man per day for food, but
four Of the sixteen spend less than 20
cents. Clothing they buy at the rate
Of $81.64 a year. Fifty cents a week
for insurance provides only for burial.
should death occur. The only item
that looks hopeful is the margin Of
$3.50 for all other expenditures. But
the families in this group were not
self-indulgent; 20 cents paid the week
ly bill for liquor and tobacco, At cents
went for medical service, AZ cents for
furnishings and minor household ex-
penses, leaving only $1.23 for car fare,
papers, recreation, education and mis-
%cellaneous expenditures.
It is no wonder that some of these
16 families reported but three cents a
week for recreation.-Survey.

Another arithmetic of the same GATE
had the famous fish problem with
which Johns teacher had troubled him
for six weeks before he himself finally
explained it to the class. The fish
problem Is:
THE head Of fish is ten inches

one-half the body. The body is as long
as the head and tail both. How long Is
the fish,

"A hare starts up twelve rods before

till she has peen up one and one-fourth

ty-six rods a minute. and the hound
runs at the rate Of forty rods min
ute. How long will the race last. and
what will be the distance the hound
runs?'
What difference does it make how
far the hound runs?" John asked as he
turned to the Scholars Arithmetic.

John concluded. The problem was as
! follows:
IF | give eighty bushels of potatoes
at q cents bushel and 240 pounds of
fax at IS cents pound for sixty-four
bushels Of salt. what Is the salt worth
q bushel?'
Another problem was:
! "A good man driving his guest to
