LIVING COST PROBERS
HERE MEET DIFFICULTY
Housewives Confuse Local Inquiry
With Proposed Federal Food In
vestigation, and Retard Work.

Investigators of the bureau of labor
statistics are being hampered in their
inquiry into the cost of living in the
District of Columbia because house
wives have confused this investigation
with the food cost probe throughout
the nation proposed by President Will
son, Department of Labor officials de-
c1ared today.
'Ihe sixteen young woman agents of
the bureau who are now In all sections
OF the city, are met daily at the door, as
they apply for statistics on what it
costs to live in the District with some
such statement as this:
No. can't give you any information.
thlnk 1t foolish of you to be spend
ing 100000 to investigate what it
costs to live when that money ought
" De used to help poor, starving folks"
ana so the unfortunate agent is
forced to lose valuable time explaining
10 the housewife that the probe into the
cost OF living here is an entirely sepa-
rate and distinct investigation from the
proposed one into food costs in the
United States
Ihe investigation into the cost of liv-
ing IN the District now is in it's second
month, with more than half the work
done. More than 1000 completed sched-
wives, and. as now contemplated. but
l;ooo more need be gathered to complete
the investigation.
Congress failed to appropriate the
100000 requested for the inquiry into food
costs in the United States. and so that
inquiry hasn't even been started, although
Such an investigation is still a possibil-
ity, it was learned at the federal trade
commission today. The commission now
Is considering whether it is practicable
TO undertake the inquiry on a limited sca 10
with its present staff and without extra
funds.
1t is understood that fpthe federal trade
commission should find it possible to re-
lease from other work enough men to
make the attempt worth while, the COM
mission will go ahead with the proposed
investigation, and probably will so in
form the President.
This investigation in contemplation by
the trade commission hordly would touch
the District of Columbia, except generally,
it is believed, and would be nation wide in
it's scope.

HElPMEETS ARE NEEDED YET
Testimony Of suffraaist Plainly Shows
That Mere Man Cannot Do
Without Them.

There is no use denying it, mister
man cannot exist without helpmeet,
a New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. The wom-
en- themselves admit this much, but
they deny emphatically that they are
dependent upon the sterner sex. No,
indeed. 1t was over at the votes for
women headquarters recently that the
well-known and oft accepted theory
of the dependency of women upon
mere man was attacked.
Someone had volunteered the fear
that women will always be regarded
as weak and dependent as long as it
is necessary for friend wife to call
upon hubby to button up her waist in
the back or see If the hooks are all
tight or If her hat is on straight, and
II her hair is all over her head. The
very fact that man is at all times able
to care for his sartorial self alone was
cited as an example Of the varying in
dependence Of the two. "But that isn't
always So" replied one of the state
campaigners. my husband went away
on a campaign trip this summer for
two weeks and every single night he
had to wire me to ask where he would
be likely to find his pajamas."

eennIe Kent in Ignorance.

The western districts of the vilayet
of Monastir and a large part of that
of Kossovo are inhabited by a race
wilder and more primitive than any
to be found in Europe-the Albanians.
Very little is known of this strange
and interesting people, save that they
speak an Indo-European tongue, but do
not belong TO ANY of the recognized
groups of the Aryan family. 1t is
probable that they are descended from
the ancient nlyrians, who were driven
westward by the advancing waves Of
Slavs. Their language, like the people
themselves, is wild and lawless, and
has practically no literature. Even
the popular songs are very few. The
Turkish government has deliberately
kept them in q state of barbarism and
ignorance, and makes use OF them TO
overawe the neighboring peoples.

Old Apple still Fresh.

Apples may come and apples may
go, but this one goes on forever. This
may be said of an apple belonging TO
George VI. Reade, OF St Paul, Mimi,
which he picked from q tree in New
York in 1868.
Mr.. Reade lived on a farm in Cort-
land county, n. Y, when boy. One
day, just for amusement, he climbed
one of his fathers apple trees, picked
the largest apple he could find and
stuck cloves in il, says an exchange
It was merely an experiment, he
said. He had heard Of preserving ap-
pies by putting cloves in them, but
thought it only a joke.
He gave the apple TO his mother, and
when she died and some goods were
shipped TO him in Minnesota, the apple
was found among them, sound and still
fragrant from the spice.
"This apple" 5fr. Reade said, has
been from New York to Dakota, and
from Tennessee to Minnesota 1t has
always been exposed TO the air. 1t Will

WHAT SOLDIER BOYS EAT
Meat Served Twice Daily With Good
Supply Of Other Substantial
Food-CrsVe Dainties.

The old idea that army diet should
consist largely of beans, bareback and
coffee, Is no longer approved. In the
present training camps meat, prefera-
bly, beef, is served twice day, with
white bread baked In the general camp
bakery and kept "a hours before sery-
ing. Where green vegetables can be
obtained they are used, otherwise
canned goods are substituted. Coffee
Is served at breakfast and buttermilk,
lemonade, tea, cocoa or water at other
meals. Meals, which in the vernacu-
lar are "mess" or "chow," are served
cafeteria style. Every soldier is fur
nished with an outfit which consists
of meat pan, knife, fork and spoon,
and long handled cup. The cover Of
the meat pan serves as a plate, and
the outfit Is so arranged that each man
may do his own cooking in case of an
emergency.
Each man takes his meat pan and
passes before a table where he is serv-
ed with the various dishes prepared.
He then goes to table, or if there is
none, drops down on the ground, and
eats In absolute contentment. Don't
feel too sorry for the boys, even if they
do write longingly home wishing for
mothers cookies or James fried chick
en-, Belle Case Harrington writes in
Leslie's. Men in outdoor training have
good appetites, and they are far better
off physically than If fed on the salads
and Ices and sodas they probably
would have at home. What they miss
most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put in cookies, can
dies and jams or jellies. Milk choco-
late is one of the things a soldier seems
TO crave, and a jar of matted milk
will come handy if he is not feeling
well. Be sure not to send food that is
too rich. The boys are on plain diet,
with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when 1t comes TO
eatingi

as a great shock to her parents
when the little life passed quietly
away. due to prostration. Wanda
was 10 years, l mo. and Is days OF
age, an unusually bright and happy
child, always wearing a smile for
every one. She possessed very
sweet voice and used it often in
song at public meetings in our com
munity. We can imagine at this
Christmas time the little voice which
SO often gladdened our hearts with
its song, blending with the great
chorus in Heaven in its Carols to

member of the Baptist Sunday School
and was president of the Junior B.

sItka P.ne cemes Into be- own.

A steamship that arrived in Seattle
recently brought the first shipment Of
Sitka spruce from Alaska for use in
making airplanes. This wood is supe-
rier TO any other for lightness and
strength, and rods go feet long without
a knot or blemish are easily obtained.
Much of this spruce has already been
shipped to Europe from British Co
Iumbia, Oregon and Washington. Sit
ka spruce is the dominant tree of the
Alaska coast region, and was for a
long time regarded with contempt by
lumbermen and used only for fish
boxes. Now it is the hope Of the Unit
ed States for paper pulp and airplane
frames.
