The lower your salary. the greater
percentage OF it you spend for food
and shelter, according to the latest
Government cost of living investiga-
ton.
Tables compiled by Labor Depart
ment experts after study Of hundreds
of family budgets show the actual
cash outlay for food and rent is great
er in families with the higher in
comes but in the average family the
expenditures for these necessities
does not increase as fast as the in
come.
In Baltimore, for instance. thirteen
families with incomes under 5000,
averaged expenditures OF S3S2.95 for
food and S12O.44 for rent. The aver
age was 46.5 per cent Of the total in
come for food and 14.6 for rent. The
families whose incomes were $500
or more, however, averaged 1873 per
cent less for food in comparison with
total income and 11.5 less for rent

PROGRAM POPULAR
Secretary Probable to Work
Out of Central "Y"-Suc-
cess Elsewhere.

The Tennessee Y. NJ. c. A. Is per-
fecting plans to extend It's activities SO
that 1t may reach the young men OF the
small towns and rural communities OF
the state with as many as possible OF
the advantages Il has TO offer the young
men of the cities. This work will be
developed by the recently organized
county work department, under the
supervision Of Fred M. Hubbeil, OF
Nashville, state secretary for county
work.
City associations reach only about 20
per cent of the young men Of the
country. The need for the four-fold
program OF the Y. M. G. Al, namely,
physical, social, educational and re.
llgious, In the smaller towns and rural
communities Is ever more urgen than
In the city, community workers say. in
order to add new interest to the young
men living In such places and to coun-
teract the inclination Of young men to
leave home and go to the city.
The work OF the county secretary Is
described as that OF a social engineer.
| Through the agencies already at hand,
the churches, the schools, agricultural
extension forces and farm clubs, the
county association works as a supple
ment, to their work and introduces such
lines OF activities az the needs of the
field may require. Local committees OF
representative Christian men are
formed In each community through
which the county secretary conducts
the work.
II has been found that association
buildings cannot be successfully main
tained except In cities Of considerable
size on account OF the expense OF the
equipment and staff being excessive for
the number OF people served, so that
the county work department was estab-
lished TO reach the smaller towns along
other lines, Work has been done along
these lines by the Y. NJ, C, A. for about
