Emerson Saying

On the carton that brings each

Literature in the series Of 20
books delivered to Washington
Times readers is . significant
pronouncement that has come
down through the years.
Written by one of Americas
best loved and greatest authors,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, it reads
as follows:
"Many times the reading Of
q book has made the fortune
of a man-haS decided his way
of life. 1t makes friends. 'Tis q
tie between men to have been
delighted with the same book.
every one Of us is always
in the search Of his friend, and

Ken Murray
Says:

February may be the short
est month in the year, but this
country certainly seemed to pack
a lot of excitement into this
last one, between floods, dust
storms, Sit-dOWn strikes, and the
Supreme Court If there had
been as much dirt thrown on
our relief projects, as there has
been on our Supreme Court
question, the WPA would have
been a greater success.
In years past, it was a prob
lem to make the sons of the
soil stay home, but from the
way nature went on a rampage,
it looks as if we can't even
make the farm stay down on
the farm.
And, with so many Sit-dOwn
strikes going on, it seems like
we're out of the hOrSe-and-buggy
days, and are now entering the
chair and Settee era.

Currence of the month was
when a congressional commit
tee was listening to an address

cember IS, according to figures
submitted today by Commissioner
of Labor Statistics Isador Lubin
to Secretary of Labor Perkins.

salaries of less than $2,500 took
the hardest blow of the four
groups studied by the Bureau, the
figures revealed, According to the
tables these families stood a rise
in the cost of all goods purchased
Of nine-tenths of l per cent, some.
what higher than the average in
crease for all classes.
Cost to Other Groups
The cost Of all articles pur.
chased by families Of employees
in the custodial group showed a
decrease of one-tenth of ] per
cent, while families of employees
with salaries of $2,500 and over
paid six-tenths of l per cent
more for articles purchased in
December than they did in
January, 1886. Employees living
as single individuals found the
cost of living only four-tenths
per cent higher.
Price movements were spotty
during the II months covered
in the survey, according to Com
missioner Lubin'S report.
The cost of personal care,
items such as beauty treatments
and barber shop attention showed
the great increase, jumping
nearly per cent.

largest factor in the increase,
showing a jump Of nearly 5 per
cent. the principal contributing
factors being increases in the
prices of mems suits and women's
coats.

ment and college tuition also
showed increases.
Food costs on the other hand
showed a decrease of per cent
during the period, although there
had been greater fluctuations
periodically. Household operation
costs showed a decrease due to a
drop in the price Of coal.
