is what builds up values in general-and also
bank accounts.
And what is spent for luxuries? Well, there
can be wide difference in the classification of
luxuries; for what may be luxury to one
person may be a necessity to another. The
majority of automobiles are utilized for both
pleasure and business, particularly by physicians,
farmers and statesmen Pianos and other musical
instruments, watches, some jewelry and even
furS cannot all be placed In the category of
luxurious expenditures.
However these articles must be classified as
such in the budget because they all are not
absolutely essential to the mere cause of liv-
ing. Such expenses totaled $10,572 900, 600 in
1924, apportioned as follows, according to sta
tistics from the United States Treasury De-
partment:
The public paid 1894 900 to be amused
and entertained in theaters movies and other
places; it consumed $689 900 900 worth of candy
and $500 900 worth of ice cream and bever-
invested $431, 100000 in cameras, toys and
sporting goods; wrapped itself in 1898, ,0o0,0 900
worth of furs; adorned itself with $453 900, 900
worth Of jewelry; gloriied its women and girls
with $261 900 900 worth of cosmetics and exer-
gum; which may be pardoned in the balance
by the practical use of $153 900 900 worth of
toilet soaps
Automobiles and accessories, exclusive of
trucks, added $4,057, 100000 of pleasure and
service musical instruments contributed $40
GEO 0e0 to the same cause, and the firearms
and shells cost $67, ,000, ,000.' These figures, by
the way. refer to the year 1924, when the
Evening star., 1931-12-27

combined national income was only $77,135,-
900 900; today, with the total income much
higher, these expenses must have increased
proportionately.
from surveys of living costs of Federal em-
] ployes, made in five cities by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in 1923 it was discovered that
those of the lowest income group Investigated
which was under ST 500 and averaging four per-
sons per family-spent $685.. .03, or 25.3 per cent
of the annual income for miscellaneous ex-
penses; while the highest income group-S3,60 900
and over, averaging 461 persons per family
spent 81 484 ST. or 34.4 per cent of their annual
income, in this manner.
Such items as street car fares, gifts, charity,
servants, health expense, moving expenses den-
tai work, insurance premiums music lessons,
etc, classed under miscellaneous expenses.
In the table this page, however, they are
grouped differently.
Some 1926 estimates reveal that florists
f1ourished to the extent of $4,000 900, for
which they supplied the means of thrilling deb
utantes with offerings from their admirers, pro-
vided shower bouquets for brides and center
pieces for dinner parties and expressed SYM
pathy to bereaved ones. Milliners in that year
profited by $31,000,o00.
Evening star., 1931-12-27

During the past decade, there has been
trend toward the patronage of bakeries for
the family supply of bread, cake biscuits, etc.
Everywhere, there has been increased ten
dency toward the best of necessities and many
more luXurleS.; laces, silks, furs, the choicest
cuts Of meat expensive night clubs and theater
productions.
Price has lured the public rather than quail
ity. If thing cost enough, it must be good.
Waste and excessive use of telephones, electric
lights, gas and water have revealed appalling
figures that contradict any effort at economy.
Although the figure for sporting goods is
placed in conservative Millions some estimates
reveal that several billions have been invested
in sports in a single year, with elaborate courts
and links and stadiums and innumerabe other
items relating to sports all included in the list.
1t IS interesting, too, to note that the smaller
the income, the more the husband spends for
clothing as compared with that used by his
wife; and that, as the family resources increase,
the wife gains the greater monopoly on the
clothing allowance. Which fact may be a proof
of womens loyalty to struggling husbands or
the penury of the male when he holds the reins
in his hands
According to figures obtained from 100 FAM
lilies in Detroit having the same income it
costs about fourth more to clothe girls than
1t does boys, and the most expensive age for
either of them is the period between the ages
of and - years.
Statistics also reveal that the family budget
must vary according to location, to some ex-
tent. From observations of given number Of
families in the same income class in five diff
ferent cities food expenditures varied from
$716.69 per family in Baltimore to $92688 in
New York New Orleans food costs averaged
$779.70 and Chicago and Boston about the
same at 1913, according to the United States
Labor Bureau of Statistics
DENTS and fuel costs vary according to loca-
N ton, natural resources and facilities af-
fecting these expenses more than do climate
and transportation problems.
Variations in prices of single items in diff
ferent localities in June, 1880 and 1881, cover
an interesting range Sirloin steak the
highest in Boston at 72.9 cents per pound and
lowest at Butte, Mont, at 305 cents. Butter
prices were highest in Baltimore at 481 cents
and lowest in Omaha, Nebr., at 26 cents. Fresh
milk ranged from 18 cents quart in Savan-
nah Ga, to 88 cents in Houston Tex Potatoes
commanded cents pound In Texas cities
and 1.8 cents In New Orleans, with oranges at
50 cents per dozen in Virginia and 10 cents
IN Los Angeles.

THRILLING EPISODE
 WITNESSED ON DOCK;
 SPECTATORS CHEER

All that was needed on the dock last night when the SS Yukon pulled out was a movie camera in order to have accorded a thrill ing episode of daring upon the high seas.
 The principals in the cast were Maurice "Swede" Anderson, well known Scotchman and travelling representative of the, Pacific h. ternational Airways of Alaska, Inc, (that name is too long) Mate Tom Healy of the SS Yukon and two members of the crew.
 Scene I: Final whistle footed and away goes the gangplank and the vessel slowly backed out.
 Scene II: Furious uproar heard; multitude on dock and decks of steamer turn heads and see man running to dock, waving arms widely and splitting air asunder with yelps. Aha, thinks the skipper, another live one" Or ders Mate Healy swing bow sling over side.
 Scene III: Sling, with crew members and plank, swung out on boom; "Swede" panting and with prespiration streaming, but with a smile akin to a rising sunset, gracefully steps onto plank and is put aboard.
 Scene ": Multitude burst into tremendous cheering. Everybody smiles; fadeout.
