One of the strongest critics of gov
ernment estimates before he became
part of its personnel, DR.. Isadere Lubin,
present head Of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, has found his bureau in
creasingly under fire. The Relief Ad-
ministration, for instance, discovered
that their dollars didn't do everything
they should have on the basis Of esti-
mates furnished them by the official
estimators. The Department of Agri-
culture ran into similar trouble when
they tried to tell the housewives how
much they needed to run their homes.
Overhaul Index List.
AS a consequence, DR.. Lubin assigned
to some of his best estimators the task
of overhauling the index list. The F.
E. r. A. is cooperating by supplying
| II statisticians and crews of white COL
| lar relief workers for help in conduct
| ing q field survey Of purchasing
habits. Believing the food list to be
comparatively accurate at present, en-
phasis will be placed upon the other
costs of living.
Hitting SO cities, this survey will
make its inquiry through contact with
merchants Of all classes. With WASH
ington among the number, q group Of
eight relief workers will spend about
10 days covering this city. Decided
upon about two weeks ago, the field
activity is expected to commence with
in a few days. Results, in the form of
a revised index list, however, are not
expected to be available before several
months, DR.. Lubin says.

proposal of Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman for adoption Of q
magistrate system for handling minor
trafic and police violations. Gus A.
Schuldt, presiding Judge Of the Police
Court, opposed this plan, and pointed
out, that with an additional Judge
the magistrate system would not be
necessary.
There also will be in the report
certain recommendations with respect
to jury service, although the commit.
tee has not indicated definitely the
changes it will suggest. There is little
likelihood, however, that compulsory
jury service for women will be urged
In view Of the opposition Of Chief
Justice Alfred A. Wheat Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
Changes in the age Of those eligible
for jury service, and elimination Of
many Of the exemptions by which
prospective jurors escape service are
likely to be suggested.
Chairman Randolph has requested
Fitzpatrick TO draw up the rough draft
of the committee report as soon as
possible so that any Of the remedial
legislation recommended can be acted
on at the current session Of Congress.

the first bird in the ZOO, which is still
there, having a record of so years in
captivity.
The collection of bears at the local
ZOO is the finest in the world, Mrs.
Mann said, mainly because the Gov
ernment has permitted the retention
here in captivity of all varieties of the
Alaskan bear. These animals are
guarded by the Government, and their
capture is not allowed. Mrs. Mann

Liviing Costs to Be Revised
Auto and Radio Expenses to Go Into
Bureau of Labor Estimates.

THosE of you who have reached
the tearing stage be-
cause of inability to make
L your budget figures corre-
spond with Government esti-
mates on the cost of living may take
heart. The Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Official estimator for the Government,
has decided to make its system con-
form to your figures. .....
Recognizing that life Is not what
it used to be 20 years ago, officials
of the bureau have come to the
conclusion that the items on which
they have been basing their cost-of-
living statistics for, 10! these many
years are no longer reliable.
Adopted in 1918, after q survey
among $4,000 families of wage
earners and low salaried men, the
list of 1873 items upon which coSt-of-
living indices have been computed
overlook such modern menaces as
the automobile with the incident ex-
pense of tires, gasoline and oil, or
the radio with its need for tube
requirements.
No Shoe Shines Allowed.
They take no account. for instance,
of milady's barber shop and beauty
parlor requirements, items which TO-
day are accepted as necessities in the
family Of less than average income.
They restrict the men, even, to 10
haircuts each year, allow him no
shoe shines, and the average family
index has no department for an oc-
casional highball, insurance payments,
taxes or magazines.
Gathered when men were men and
| women didn't smoke, the list allows
purchase of 20 cuts Of plug tobacco
per year but limits cigarettes to so
packages, hardly a months supply
| for the average couple of today.
AS for clothing, the man Of the
family is allowed IL pairs Of socks a
year, one Winter and one Summer
suit each three years, an overcoat
every four years, six shirts and two
neckties each year. The average
woman is limited to eight pairs Of
silk or chiffon stockings year, one
wool coat every other year and two
pairs of low shoes every year.
No Place for Antiseptics.
For incidentalS, the typical family
estimated at two adults and two chill
dren-may pay $50 street car fares
and buy 10 orchestra section admis-
sions to the motion pictures each year;
it can have the doctor IA times, con-

several years and in more than 200 of
them the defendants are fugitives
from justice and cannot be brought to
trial.
1,244 Criminal Cases.
The records at the close of the last
fiscal year showed that 1.244 criminal
cases were started during that period.
OF these cases, 1,166 were terminated,
755 by pleas of guilty, 1866 by verdicts
of guilty and 40 by acquittal. The per-
centage Of convictions IN trials by jury
for the past five fiscal years follows:
1880. GIT per cent; 1881, 67.2 per cent;
1882, 75.2 per cent: 1888, 70.5 per cent
and 1884, 77.2 per cent. When the
courts recessed last June, there were
only 10 criminal cases In which the
defendants were in Jail awaiting trial
and 81 bond cases awaiting trial out
OF total Of 1,454 indictments handled
by the prosecutors Office during the
year. r
It is also disclosed by the records

being: 1880, 379; 1881, I72; 1882. 2o7;

The records also show that the
United States attorneys Office has
won; 189 civil cases for the Govern
ment since January %, 1884, and
lost 46. These 46 include 80 consent
judgments in war risk cases approved
by the Department of Justice. In
other than war risk cases, the Gov.
ernment only lost three suits.
Garnett and his assistants have also
been successful in the Court of Ap-
peals during the same period, winning

cases lost was the Sigma Chi Fra.

minor infractions Of the police
manual.
Other Suggestions Seen.
Ten or more additional recon-
mendations are expected to be made,
but the committee is not yet pre-
pared to indicate their nature.
One complete section of the report
is expected to be devoted to condi-
tions in the Office of United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett which
were criticized by number of wit
nesses who appeared before the COM
lnfttee. Developments before the
committee in connection with the
Office of Karl Kindleberger, assistant
United States attorney in charge Of
police court prosecutions, also are to
be discussed, although, it was said,
there will be no disposition to engage
directly in personalities. This will
apply likewise to the police depart
ment, it is understood, although
there is q strong desire on the part
of several committee members to
comment on the so-called gentle
mems agreement" between Maj.
Brown and Representative Blanton,
Democrat, of Texas to force the re-
tirement of Inspector Bean so In
spector Headley could be promoted to
an assistant superintendent.
Undecided on Traffic.
The committee, it was said, has not
definitely decided whether to recon-
mend the decentralization of the
Police Department Traffic Bureau,
although a half dozen police officials
said such a plan would provide better
distribution of motorcycle officers
throughout the precincts and make
traffic control more effective. The
only objection to this proposed step
came from Inspector B. A. Lamb,
commander of the Traffic Bureau.
The gambling section of the report
is expected to be quite extensive, and
while enactment of legislation putting
teeth in existing gaming laws is to
be strongly recommended, the COM
mittee Is not expected to agree with
the suggestion of Representative
Schultz, Democrat, Of Indiana, that
pari-mutuel betting on horse races
be legalized. .a
Objection to gambling has been
placed, in the main, not on the
ground that it S a heinous offense in
itself, but because the gambling racket
breeds ether vicious crimes, including
murder.

"A yeast is approximately twice

This fact - so important to

To another group they gave the

The response shown by the
