SIX LEAKES FOUND
IN CAPITAL CITY
Six Notes, Three Wires, and
One Ticker Also Dis
covered Here.

Thomas w. Lawson's charge that
there are Leakes in Washington was
substantiated today.
Equally interesting was the dis
covery of six notes. three wires, and
one ticker.
Nobody is particularly fused up
over the discoveries. however, as they
were made in the pages of the city
directory. The Eeakes were found
sequestered near the bottom OF page
$50. with a great number of other
names beginning with L piled on top
of them.
The Notes were tucked away be-
meath almost countless names start
ing with N. on page s24.
The Wires were entwined around
the foot of a column of cognomens
on page 1912. The Ticker. silenced
and without tape, was discovered on
page 1908.
Investigation further disclosed the
presence of six Bears, ten Bulls. thir-
ty-four Lambs, six Traders. and ten
Gamblers within the arid wastes OF
the directory. Three Stocks and six
ty-nine Bonds were also listed.
Incidentally, among the los Law

name is Thomas. The whole town

Two Weeks Expected to Be
Spent Collecting Data
From Housewives.
ACCURATE FACTS DESIRED
Rent, Food, Clothing, and Fuel
, Play Big Part in Compiling
Information.

Housewives living in the northeast
and southeast sections of Washington
were today urged by officials of the
Bureau OF Labor Statistics to co
operate in the gathering of informa
ton on the cost of living in the Dis
trict
All of the agents of the bureau en-
gagged in this work have been as
signed to these two sections of the
city for this week. 1t is expected
they will devote at least two weeks
to the eastern part of the city.
The bureau officials not only hope
that today's request will prompt the
housewives visited within the next
twenty-four hours to furnish all de,
sired information. but will cause
others to begin to figure and jot down
items of expense in the cost of living
so as to have statistics handy when
the investigators cal lon them.
Rent Figures Sought.
Accurate information is sought as
to the cost of rent, food, clothing.
fuel, light and the other. necessities
of life. A great many housewives
frankly admit they do not know what
they spend for each of these items IN
a year, and in many cases the agents
have either failed to get a record or
have devoted considerable time ques-
tioDing the housewives to approx
innate the Individual expenditures.
In a great number of instances the
housewives have been able to tell
precisely what sums went for char
ity, including church contributions.

fraternal lodges and other organiza-

tions, newspapers. medical attention,
and funeral expenses.
1t has frequently happened that by
means of reaching a total for these
items the agents have been able to
narrow the remainder OF the bread
winners earnings down to a lump
sum and divide this up into food,
clothing, fuel, and light. The two
items about which specific figures are
most difficult to obtain are food and
clothing.
Weekly Guess Impossible. 4,
The reason for this is the agents
are told in many cases that the
price OF fopdstHffs increases from one
week to another and no weekly guess
can be made. In some cases the
agents are Informed that the famiI-
les spend for clothing whatever is
left after the absolute necessities Of
life are paid for" clothing not being
rated as a necessity by all.
The bureau specifically announced
today that II intended limiting the in
vestigation to families which are de-
pendent upon 81 800 or less a year to
meet all the expenses OF life. The Of
ficials believe that families having
more than $500 a year are not
pipched.

EASTERN SECTIONS VISITED BY
PROBERS OF HIGH LIVING COST
TO HOUSEWIVES

There are nearly a dozen wom-
en- now canvassing the city to Sc
cure information on the cost OF
living. Most of them will be in
the northeast and southeast divis-
ions during this week.
They are agents of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. and are Sc
curing information for that bu-
reau under a resolution of Con-
gress.
To the housewives who are read
ers of The Times. and whose hus-
bands earn 81 800 a year or less.
The Times recommends that you
receive these agents and give
them all the information you can
about the cost of living, as IT
may be greatly to your advantage
to do so.
The information is being held as
strictly confidential.

FUGITIVE'S ESCAPE CUT OFF
War Makes Entrance to Europe
Most Difficult.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-American fugi-
tives from justice can't escape to
Europe any more. They have to prove
too many things about themselves
that it's incOnvenient TO prove before
they can get either in or out.
Probably the only Americans ar
irving in Europe nowadays without
first asking permission of Uncle Sam
are, occasionally, sailors who shin
out of American ports under careless
shippers. AS soon as they set foot
on European shores they are arrested
and held until their ship leaves for
a neutral port.
But che pre-war brand OF extradi-
tion, which provided its almost daily
yarn for American and European pa
pers, iE dead.
