THE COST OF LUNCH

A group of business men in Youngs-
town. o., decided that their lunches
were wasteful and unpatriotic They
therefore adopted a plan which as
sumes that the normal cost of a lunch
is Is cents. Whenever any members
lunch check runs over that amount, he
has to pay the difference into a gen.
eral savings fund. which reverts to
him in the form of thrift stamps.
Thus for % cent lunch he is taxed
10 cents, and for a so cent lunch Is
cents.
1t may be good idea. The stan
dard, however, seems rather low.
Making all due allowance for the re-
puted fact that we all eat too much, is
it really possible for any normal
American to get enough to eat, even
in business lunch. for Is cents?
Maybe what those men really want
is to accumulate thrift stamps. And
for every nickel they save at noon
they probably eat an extra dimes
worth of food at night. Have you ever
observed the evening dinners con.
sumed by men who never feel the
need of lunch at noon?"
