The situation which forms the

rarely exceeded in it's kind. The story
carries itself without elaboration, as
proved IN the Hallmark adaptation,
which has the advantage OF an excel

Gladys Hu1ette In the stellar roles.
In spite of the fact that the action
moves slowly at times, and that points

LIVING COSTS
STILL ADVANCING
New Workers Spend S18,o0O,000 More a
Week for Necessities Than Six
Months Ago.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-New York
ers now are spending approximately $751;
100000 a week more for necessities than
six months ago, it was estimated here
yesterday on the basis of government in
designations of living costs.
Living costs for the average New York
family increased Is per cent between
December and June, according to an in
ivestigation made by the labor depart
ment. Six months ago few people in
New York were able to live ON less than
$40 week, it was estimated. At this
for necessaries now is somewhere in the
neighborhood of $l3S 100000
Expenditures by the average New
York family increased l19 per cent. from
December, 1914, to June, 1920, according
30 the labor departments survey. The
biggest increase was in womens clothing,
which advanced 25S.S per cent. The male
of the family, however, wasn't far behind,
since his clothing expenditures jumped
220.8 per cent. Food advanced 1888 per
cent fuel and light COL per cent and
furniture and furnishings POSI- per cent.
TAI other expenditures We're elassed as
miscellaneous, for which the increase
was 100 per cent.
The average New York family divides
its income this way: Food, AZ per cent;
clothing. 1876 per cent. housing, IA;
fuel and light, Al; furniture and furnish
ings. 80. and miscellaneous, 1915 per cent
From the last item must come expendl
lures for illness, education and recrea'
ton.

EXPRESS INCREASE
is GRANTED
Expected It Will Yield Company $685.
100000 a Year-Another Raise
Is Expected,

WASHINGTON, Aug l4-Authority
to increase express rates Il II per cent
was granted the American Railway TX
press company yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission
The increase by unofficial estimates will
add S35, 100000 to the annual income of
the company. The commissions decision,
however, does not take into consideration
the recent award Of the railroad labor
board of increased wages approXimating
Si3,000O00 to express company. employees,
and it is expected application soon win
be made by the company for an additional
advance in rates TO meet the new wage
scales.
Rates on milk and cream under the
commissions decision are further in
creased to correspond with the advance
of 30 per cent for the transportation of
such commodities authorized the rail
roads, except where there are no compet-
ing railroads between the affected points.
In the latter case an ADVANCE of y II
per cent is authorized.
In touching on the fact that the eS-
press company had been allowed only
about half of the increase asked, which
was 25.l6 per cent the commission ex-
pressed the opinion thai the full amount
awarded should be retained by the eX-
press company itself and that none of it
should be allowed to the railroad car
fiers. The commission suggested that the
present express company contracts with
the railroads under which 1928 per cent
of gross earnings go to the roads for the
carrier service should be modified to ac-
/ complish this purpose.
Permission was granted the company
to make the new rates effective upon one
days notice by filing blanket schedules
with the commission, but the company
Is required to reissue its tariffs within 90
days of the effective date in the regular
manner.
