NEW YORK, Saturday.
IT ONWARD the end Of June the

T ONWARD the end of June the
New York newspapers re-
: corded briefly, as part of the
days grist of minor metropolitan
events, that one Vincent Sa1emi, pass
ing the tenement numbered 1853
Third avenue, had been shot dead by
two men who were secreted in the
hallway. They escaped by running
up four flights Of stairs, scuttling
across the roofs, and thence, by way
of the fire escapes and back yards,
passing out in East Ninety-seventh
street. where all trace of them was
lost.
The reports added that Salemi was
a brother-in-Iaw Of one Vincent Mo-
relic, who about eight months ago was
killed on East 116th street between
First and Second avenues by shot
fired from a. passing automobile.
Thus prosaically was chronicled a
killing which carried further toward
its unpredictable end one of the most
persistent and murderously pictur-
esque Of all known vendettas, a raven
ing blood fedd, which had it's birth a
full quarter century ago in the sunny
countryside near Palermo, Sicily, emil
grated under our easy laws to the
United States, and has Powered here
in uncounted murders on the lower
East Side and the Little Italy of Har-
lem.

b. M. Jewell, head of the shop

in presenting a budget requiring

use the same principle in supplying
energy to their employees that they
do to their boilers. The railroads
budget was substantially less than his.

low nuch it should cost to live

had been subject Of
L I economic debate centuries
before Omar Khayyam concluded he
could get along with his loaf of bread,
His Jug of wine and the lady in ques-
ton.
But the question of a reasonable
cost has never been settled and the
answer to it seems to depend entirely
on who is to do the living, the econ
omist who writes on the subject or
the victim who has to practice the
preachings of that economist. There
have been elaborate surveys by em-
p1oyers Of all classes, Investigations
by professors and students who "have
tried it for awhile and there have
been numberless experiments by
scientists. None Of them seem to agree,
but that is not strange, since there
is an almost entire lack of agreement
on the part of housewives themselves
on the same subject.
This article doesn't attempt to get
at solution but rather aims to show
where the money goes from incomes
of few dollars week to those Of
hundreds of dollars week.
A Chicago Judge Who Figured
$25 a Week Enough for Couple
Here's one question that was asked
Judge Asa G. Adams of the Domestic
Relations Court in Chicago: Can a
couple live on $25 a week?" The judge
has had many a glimpse behind do
nestle scenes and should be in a po-
sition to know. He says the couple
can do it easily.
But no one could BE- found in Chi
cago who agreed with him.
1.-THE woman must be the right
type" Judge Adams said, but any
couple can get along on 800 month
if they love each other"
He was asked for a budget.
We'll" he said, "the fiat ought to
cost $50 "a month"
He was interrupted, and admitted
he didn't know where such a flat
could be found, but added that it
probably could
That's item number one," he said,
"rent $780,"
Married people must eat" he was
reminded.
"We1l allow them 81 a week for
food" the judge said, but when he
began to figure it by the day he de-
cided to be more liberal and made it
$40.
The he figured hubby's car fare
and lunch downtown and found that
left 1872 for clothes, recreation and
I all incidentals.
"That would give them SIS each
for Clothes" he said.
"Of course, they couldn't have a
Rolls-Royce, but naturally they would
have to be modest in their desires, and
love, of course, would smooth all the
difficulties"
Yet, here's another angle:
Six young women attended the
school of household economics at the
Pennsylvania State College, and as
the result Of successful experiment
in their course these six young
women lived beautifully and well upon
SO cents day each--47.1 cents, to be
more exact. Three man sized square
meals a day they were, too, as the
menus for the week, which they have
submitted, prove.
"Six girls and an instructor lived at
the house." one of the girls explained.

cook. waitress and hostess"
Here is how the books stood for the
week during which the menus that
follow were served:

NOW as TO large incomes. Inefe IS
one place Of finding where some of
them go. 1t is the Surrogate's Court.
Last year Surrogate Cohalan APP
pointed a referee to decide whether
two girls, aged 20 and 10 years, ac-
tually required $4,000 a year to keep
them comfortable. Their mother said
they did 1t should be noted before
any snap judgments are announced
on this problem that these children
were girls, which is another serious
factor. Their father, Jacob Wertheim,
left a large estate, and it was lucky
he did, for some girls need a large
estate, and these were among the
number. What Mrs. Wertheim really
asked the Surrogate to accord them
was $4,000 apiece, because she said
income had accumulated for each of
them to the extent of $4,000.
How Rich Girls Thousands
Are Spent During a. Year
There are women4even women with
expensive traditions-who might have
thought it wise to let it go on accumu-
lating, but this again is merely
phase of the complex. Mrs Wertheim
preferred to get it into circulation;
and besides, there is a difference in
girls. These young ladies had annual
necessities more or less similar TO
those of a movie empress, as the fol-
lowing schedule per girl will indicate:
share of rent for city and two
country homes, $4,000; clothing,
$4,000; travelling expenses, $4,000; edu-
cation, $2,400; horses and stables,
$4,000; sports and country club dues,
$1,000; food and miscellaneous mainte-
nance, $4,000; entertaining and social
duties, $1,000; doctors and dentists.
SIS 900; automobile and upkeep, $4,000"
Analysis of these figures would
make Back Bay, Boston, which isn't
wholly insolvent, open it's eyes, for
three houses, clothes, travel, horses,
club dues, food and maintenance. en-
Pertaining and automobiles totaled up
s2s, 500, as against $4,000 gross for
education. And again, from New
York standpoint, $4,000 for the total
automobile account seems hardly pro-

the Legion itself shall exist.
Shortly after the close Of the war,

income from this amount has not been
found sufficient to do the necessary
work annually, 20 that the endowment

Az result Of the operation Of this
fund, American Legion representatives
will visit the graves Of the dead In si1

and see to It that the grave Of every
soldier, sailor or marine is fittingly re
