putting into practice his own version Of that
scheme.
Thirteen years ago he gave up the excavating
business which he was then conducting in Chi
cago, bought himself q 50-foot lot at 1887
Ernest street in the suburb OF Franklin Park
and improved 1t with 14-room house of his
own construction. Then he leased &C acres
close by, planted them with tomatoes and
peppers and green beans, all the essentials Of q
well-rounded Italian diet, and started raising
chickens
TRUE, 1t wasn't so easy at first. That was
in 1921. when only II pairs Of stockings
dangled from the family mantelpiece on Christ
mas eve and the pink-frosted birthday cake Of
his first-born, girl, boasted a bare 13 candles.
There were no "sons big enough to help" him in
those days. Neither were there any sons-in-
law to shoulder the support of his five Oldest
daughters.
Still Mikes back was as strong as his resolu-
ton which. then as now, was to bring up his
rapidly multiplying family without benefit Of
charity. With the aid Of his ingenious wife
Rosa, who worked alongside him in the fields
whenever she could spare time from the house,
he managed to keep his children's plates we'll
filled with fresh vegetables In season. And to
meet the other expenses Of his suburban Utopia
ne got hlmSelt Job In the Milwaukee Ra1lroad
repair shop, which assured him Of steady cash
income.
During the seven years that ensued years
when Mike, working that double shift, got no
more than two hours sleep a night" and Rosa,
spelling him OF on the farm, added q new star
to the family service flag each year or so. the
Latorras frequently lived on less than $50 a

which the family subsisted.

perative for health had better not enunciate
their new-fangled notions in Franklin Park.
One could circle the whole globe without ever
encountering children roster of cheek brighter
Of eye or straighter of limb than the 10 Lator-
ras. From the 26-year-old eldest daughter to
Baby Benito Guy, age 1 year. they are today
the epitome of health, happiness and good
manners.
Nor are they throw-backs to some remote
Roman ancestor. Mike, although he was born
40 years ago in Carbonare, Italy, and has
worked hard all his life. could easily pass for
a carefree bachelor Of say 40. And Rosa?
When that 44-year-old matriarch, whom Mike
knew as q child across the sea and married ~
years ago in Chicago, deserts her kitchen and
dons her smart black crepe Sunday dress, well
she looks more like the older sister Of her
married daughters than the grandmother Of
their IL children.
Perhaps her amazingly young looking ap-
pearance mirrors the New Deal in the Latorra
household. Nineteen thirty-four has been kind
to the occupants Of the weathered white wooden
house on the dusty fringes of Franklin Park.
The three oldest sons and the Oldest unmar-
ried daughter are working now, and their wages
the N. r. A. mininum-have lifted the pail
which shrouded the gallant household in 1888.
when their income never averaged more than
$40 week and work was SO scarce that to
maintain that low level, Mike took a Govern.
ment job in the forest preserves at $50 a month
rather than let his family 60 on relief.
THE eldest Latorras. elated over this success
in weathering the depression on their scant
budget, ascribe 1t to different reasons. Mike
says 1t was hard work. Rosa credits it to thrift.
He explained:
without our truck garden, Of course, we
couldn't have done It. But even with hail last
year, we raised enough vegetables for our own
use, and sold q few besides.
"Then, too. we had plenty of ham. sausage.
salt pork and bacon from our own hogs. Last
year we butchered IS hogs, each one weighing
more than 300 pounds. And we ate them all.
"Our COW was also Q big help. It gives 2
gallons of milk twice q day, which took care Of
our needs. We used to raise chickens, but Of
late feed has cost so much that we've kept Just
enough hens to supply US with eggs.'

wore out and what was the total of their Easter

remembered Facts" They are among the hg-
ures that Mike doesn't recall.
Statistically speaking Rosa is more articulate
than her husband. Her great brown eyes sparkle
like black jewels in her alert intelligent face as
she recounts how 1t took 400 pounds Of spa
ghett to keep her family's plates filled last
Winter. Said she:
I'VE live of the farm as far as possible but
we have to buy staples like spaghetti, -four, sugar
and salt. In the Summer and FAN we eat a lot
of vegetables from our garden-as much as We
can What's left over, though, Mike sells or
can. Last year canned 900 quarts Of tomatoes,
$50 jars Of green beans and bushels of peaches
and pears. That helped a lot.
II do most of the cooking but Isabel-she's
19-stays at home and helps me- so it isn't
as hard as it was when the children were small.
Cooking lot of food isn't much more work
than cooking q little, but it's much harder to
pay for. Usually bake every other day, and
figure I use up at least 100 pounds Of fov q
week."
h lExT to food, Mrs. Latorra says clothing
constitutes the largest item on her famfys
expense account. In buying clothes, as in buy
ing everything else, they buy in large lots. She
explained:
I'VE buy overalls shirts, sox, underwear and
such by the dozen, and get them cheaper that
way have a sewing machine and when I see
some good cloth ct Q bargain, get whole
bolt and make dresses and clothes for the
younger kids. When outgrown clothes can b
handed down, they are, but most often the
ones they were made for just wear them out.

their own clothes and help me with those fer

cost"

it: Mike and Rosa; Sarah, age 21; Isabel. 10:

IA /ITHOUT such winning combination, he

tials for his family, whose 1888 needs, pared to
the bone, included such irreducible minimums as

ton and a half Of pork, more than 5000 pounds
OF flour and at least 700 dozen eggs.
Exact facts and figures, showing how Chi
cago's ace perambuator pusher blocked the
demons of the machine age on less than 90
day, are unfortunately lacking. Balancing
his budget took all his attention; he had neither
the time nor training for keeping books on
his remarkable fiscal feat.
Yet entered on the tablets of his memory is
a mental record of what he figures his family's
1888 expenditures must have been; an estimate
based on U) his positive recollection that the
sales Of his surplus vegetables and the contents
OF his working childrens shrunken pay en-
velopes never added up to more than $40 in
any week." and (2) the knowledge that he ended
the year out of debt and without aid from any
charitable organization
This statement unique and unStatistcal as 1t
Is, discloses that 1t cost him an average Of SIG
a month to maintain roof over the glossy
brown heads Of his children-"the cost Of fuel,
taxes and repairs" Another $25 more or less
went for clothes, infrequent doctor bills drugs
and gasoline for the family truck The rest
the neghborhood grocer got.
Before breaking down these figures delving
deeper into the economics Of the Latorra house,
hold, one fact should be noted. A half dozen
years before Henry Ford began theorizing aloud
about moving industry closer to the farm SO
that factory workers might supplement their
inadequate cash wages with foodstuffs cult

Yet during the same calendar period
Mike Latorra, obscure Chicago truck
farmer and father Of what is recorded
as the largest and healthiest family Of
italian parentage in the United States,
managed to feed and clothe himself,
his wife and IA of his 10 hale and
