SHOPPING HABITS

W. P. A. Project on Larger
Scale Than Before-Busi.
ness VitalIy Interested.
BY HARDEN COLEAX.

What are the spending habits of the
average American family? The reply
to this question, if any adequate reply
can be obtained, will be of real vital
interest not only to the average family
itself, but to the business men who
serve Mr.. and Mrs Average Citizen
and to local. State, and national gov
ernments which are always trying to
regulate their conduct and improve
their status.
An attempt to do this sort of thing
has already been made several times
and the income studies of the Depart
ment of Commerce and the National
Industrial Conference Board have
thrown some light on it. However.
this new project is on larger scale
Labor Officials in Charge.
known as the study of consumer
purchases, the w. P. A. is carrying
it out under the technical direction
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the Department of Labor and the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
Department of Agriculture. Some of
its objectives and benefits have been
summarized by DR.. A. D. H. Kaplan,
who is in charge of the section de-
voted to urban investigation.
He said recently that there is no
disputing the fact that a knowledge
of what families with different in
comes and occupations are buying is
of vital importance to business men. "
Moreover, social agencies and civic
groups need more information about
the relationship between income,
health and education, when they plan
welfare programs, help families with
budget problems. raise money for COM
munity chests and undertake hous-
ing programs.
Finally labor groups, which in the
past have had to rely on limited data
for wage and salary negotiations, now
will have complete information which
will help to prevent maladjustments
in wage levels and the labor market. "
100000 to Be Included.
It is proposed to collect informa-
ton from some 100000 families in
various parts of the country with an
nual incomes ranging from $3.50 to
$4,000. This information will be
broken down later, on the basis OF
size of family, income, nativity, color
and occupation. From smaller num-
ber of families, details will be OBJ
tanned as to food consumption.
The first actual work on this prof.
ect was begun last January when the
first ALLEGATION of funds was made
Officials in charge believe that the
tabulation on results will be ready by
January / next, and publication OF
these results by the following June.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3d.
Senator Lonergan Cd Connecticut,
announced today that he will intro
duce in the 18th congress his bills
making income from U. 8. Securities
subject to income tax law, and pro-
posing a Constitutional Amendment
to provide for taxing state securities
which are now exempt.
Expressing a belief that tax
exempt securities will b taxed in the
future, Senator Lonergan said that
these proposals have been recon-
mended consistently by the treasury
and other government officials for
two decades. Doubt concerning the
willingness Of the people to adopt a
constitutional amendment to provide
for taxing incomes from state Sc
curities as well as federal securities
has been the only barrier for sew
eral years, he said, to collection Of
such taxes. The recent election, he
asserted, has greatly emphasized
that the people Of the country are
willing to accept constitutional
changes II necessary in pursuit Of
social and economic progress. The
two bills which the Senator will in
troduce are as follows:
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House OF Representatives Of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That notwith-
standing any other provisions Of
law, all income derived from Sc
curities issued after the date Of
enactment Of this Act by or under
the authority Of the United States
shall be included In gross income
within the meaning Of section %
(a) of the Revenue Act Of 1882
for the purposes Of taxation under
title ] Of such Act, and shall also
be subject to taxation under all
income tax laws Of the United
States hereafter enacted.
That the following article Is
proposed as an amendment to the
Constitution. which shall be valid
to all intents and purposes as a
part Of the Constitution when rati-
fed by conventions in three-fourths
the several states, which conven-
tons shall be composed Of each
state Of delegates elected by a
majority vote Of the electors OF
the state voting at such election:

TEACHERS CHANGE
POSTS ON ISLAND

Honolulu CUP - Sixteen island
school teachers this year are taking
part in :. teacher exchange" pro-
gram with cooperation Of mainland
schools, one of the most unusual de-
velopments in recent instructor
training.
Oren E. Long, superintendent OF
public instruction In the territory,
recently reported success Of the new
undertaking to Joseph E. Poindex-
ter, territorial governor.
ut is the policy Of our school Sys-
tenn in Hawaii to not only permit
but TO encourage our teachers to
exchange positions with instructors
In mainland America" Long said.
Under this plan new ideas are abb
sorbed, new enthusiasm Is obtained
and better understanding Of Ha-
wall is given to schol systems
throughout the nation.
"These exchanges are arranged
between administrations and not by
the teachers themselves. After the
arrangements are made, the teacher
Is given the privilege Of accepting or
refusing an exchange. Much atten-
ton Is given to the selection Of Ha-
waits representatives and the plan
has met with splendid approval by
other systems employing our teach
ers.
Mainland teachers brought here
receive the same salary as island
teachers and the reverse Is true for
our exchange. No exchange posi-
ton carries for more than one
year."
