The Agriculture Department yester-
day asserted that average earnings Of
100000 employed workers" would
give them greater purchasing power
for food and all items Of living costs
this year than last.
This conclusion was reported in a
survey made for Secretary Wallace by
Louis H. Bean, economic advisor Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton.
He said that average earnings of en-
ployed workers had advanced more
this year, compared with last, than
prices of food and other costs of living
1.-THE greater increase in earnings has
given the average employed worker q
1.6 per cent greater purchasing power
for food and a 20 per cent greater
purchasing power for all items of living
COSTS" Bean said.
Compared with 1929, Bean said the
average employed workers could gel
81 per cent more food and 39 per
cent more of all living cost items with
his average earning power" this year
Bean said the survey included per-
sons employed in manufacturing
mining, trade, service and communi-
cation, utility and transportation in
dustries, or about half the employed
population of the country, excluding
agriculture
These industries were said to hav,
employed 100000 workers in 1929

Jake Powell, Takoma Parks
fair-haired son, still continues to
hold the batting honors, also
having displayed an uncanny
ability to get on first base
whether by hit, walk or error.
The game was not three min

showed their fangs. The first
two men up, Moore and Bartell,
doubled, the former over third
base and the latter just a bit
inside first.
Both Terry and OFT were help

three runs to the good. They had

Gehrig had a brain storm when
he tried to score on Dickey's slow

Schumacher's control wavered

batters in the third. Both of
them advanced on a wild pitch.
