BUYS MORE
CLOTHES THAN NORTHENER

Washington, october "a Special THE
bureau of statistics. labor department,
still pursuing it's study of the causes
producing tie present state of exorbitant
living expenses. finds that the family
of average income, north and south,
spends cely enough for clothing in
course OF a year to maintain standards
of health and decency.
In this connection, the rather remark
able fact is unearthed that the southern
err spends moro for clothing for himse;-
and wife tina. the northerner. which fact,
on account of the difference in climate,
should ararcatly be reversed. In north
ern cities, S6S.33 is expended for clothing
of the husband and $50. Is for clothing
for the wife. Southern figures are s75.5
and s62.0s. respectively. In both sections
it is fact over which women will prob
ably Ieicice that the husband spends
more for clothing than the wife.
Says the bureau report: while the
clothing purchasee for these figures may
be sufficient to keep the wearers warm
it is certain that decency and health
cannot be maintained on such a small
outlay for clothing"
There is no evidence of extravaganza
on the part of the people of average
means, according to the bureau, which
continuing its report, says:
But 44.6 per cent of the total number
of white families included in the inves-
tigation were receiving annual incomes OF
$500 or more, and were probably getting
an adequate and reasonably balanced
Diet 227 per cent of the families were
receiving annual incomes of less than
$500, which is wholly inadequate to per-
init of the purchase of sufficient food for
a family of average size, leaving 1911
per cent of the families in the income
group of 5000 to $500, where the food
necessary for an average family would
be subject to serious curtailment.
Miscellaneous items which include en-
penditures for care of health, education.
amusenents, insurance premiums and
numerous other items of miscellaneous
nature comprise from II to "a per cent
of the family budget, the amount increas-
ing uniformly with increase in income.
penses for 80 representative cities have
been compiled. In these various cities
the yearly expenditure per family for
health, which includes doctor. dentist,
hospital oculist. medicines, ranged from
an average of 1927 to 1921, the mean
being approximately $8.
1.-THE corresponding figures on amuse-
ments which includes movies, plays, con-
certs excursions, vacations, ranged from
an average of 1895 to 1859 per year per
family, with a mean of between ST and
$1S.
'The average yearly expenditure per
family for education and uplift, which
includes newspapers, magazines. books,
school tuition, music, ranged from 1857
to s2757 the mean being approximately
ST." N

EFFORT OF CITIES
TO REDUCE COSTS

washington October 24-(Special)
There are cities in the United States,
the heads of which are actually trying to
reduce the cost of living for their con-
stituents, according to the department of
agriculture. in statement released this
morning.
From establishing curb markets remod-
cling or building retail market houses,
efforts of cities have expanded until
some are actually selling food supplies,
while one city of about 5000 population
is operating a farm and selling produce
from it at retail
Houston, Tex, which has a municipal
ly-owned retail market house. has taken
over three stalls in the building and is
handling fruits and vegetables in compe-
tition with it's tenants. In order to be fair
to other retailers it chages itself with all
overhead expenses paid by other deal
ers, including rent, and also pays wages
higher than those paid in other stalls.
Reports on 10 weeks operation of the
city-managed stalls show that it is pos
sible 20 buy and sell produce in compe-
tition with local merchants at both a
Greet and indirect saving to consumers.
The experiment is to be enlarged to in
c.ude food products other than fruits and
vegetables and is said to be already
serving as stabilizing influence on
prices in that city market.
Allentown, fd., mas gone INTO ldI IT'LL
on a farm acquired for other purposes
which, through changes in municipal
plans, was lying idle Under the direc-
ton of one of the city aldermen this
farm is producing vegetables and selling
them at retail in competition with
shipped in produce. The farm also feeds
1000 head of hogs on city garbage. Local
advocates of the plan now propose to
include the use of an old brewery as a
storage warehouse for potatoes and other
products grown by local farmers, 50 as
to lessen the city's dependence on
shirped-in products.
Although the bureau of markets states
that it would be glad to hear from
cities, not as yet reached by formal in
quiries, which are working on local food
problems through municipality owned
shops and by other methods differing
from those that have been followed in
the past. The bureau plans to make
available infor maton in regard to the
successes and failures of cities in their
efforts to solve their. food problems in
OF der that municipalities contemplating
special action may have the benefit OF
the experience.

The campaign for the Salvation

who are expected to canvas their COM
munltles. The amount asked of Ter

ty will raise their quota without the
slightest difficulty.

has been widely endorsed. Returned
soldiers speak in the warmest terms
of the great work done by the organ
ization in France Governors, mayors
and business men all over the coun-
try have gotten behind the campaign,
and in some instances well known
citizens will devote their entire time
