CLOTHING BILL
OF MEN HIGH
Spend Almost as Much as
Wives in Midwest,
Survey Shows
BY FRED BAILEY -
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is. (UP)
The department Of agriculture
has come to the defense of mid
western women against charges
of extravaganza in the purchase
of clothing.
Husbands averaged $50 year
for clothes, and wives $50, sur
vey of 3,045 husbands and 1854
wives in seven midwestern cities
disclosed. The survey did not in
clude families on relief.
"The old idea that women are
cxtravagant in dress will have to
be revised in the light of modern
facts" Dr.. Louise. Stanley, chief
Of the bureau of home economics
and director of the survey, said.
"Only in the highest income
bracket. did wives in the middle
west spend noticeably more on
clothes than did their husbands"
she said.
BOYS CLOTHING MORE
COSTLY
The report also struck at the
complaint of most fathers that it
costs more to dress a daughter
than a son. In fact, Dr.. Stanley
said, it costs more to clothc the
average high school boy than girl.
Wives whose husbands COM
plain about the cost of their hats
can quote DR.. Stanley that the
average midwestem WON Il II
spends only So a year on MILL
merry. The range Of averages was
from 81 in the lowest income
bracket up to 50 in the highest.
Far from having several new
hats each season." DR.. Stanley
commented, many of these wo-
men evidently were making one
hat last several seasons"
Furthermore, she added, men
spend on an average as much for
headwear as women. Men and wo-
men spend about the same--$S a
ycar-for shoes, she said.
The survey disclosed women'S
weakness for clothes--it is silk
underwear and stockings. Wives
underwear and hose cost an aver
age of twice as much as their hus-
bands, $40 year as against So.
MASCULINE "EXTRAS"
HIGHEST,
The husbands suits, troucsrs
and, shirts averaged more than
the wives outer-wear wardrobe
suits, dresses, biopses and skirts
$22' against SIT. The report said
"little feminine fripperies" cost
So a year as against 81 year
for masculine extras"
The seven cities studied were:
Lincoln, Ill.,; Boone, Ia; Column
bia and Moberly, Mo-; Mount Yer
non and New Philadelphia, o.,
and Beaver Dam, Wis.
In the lowest income bracket
under $500 Il year--thc husbands
clothing costs averaged SIG; the
wives, $40. For family incomes
between $500 and 5000, clothing
expenditures averaged $23 for

KETCHIKAN UTILITIES SEEK
 PWA TELEPHONE FUNDS

Ketchikan Public Utilities is to ask for a PWA grant of s6750 to help pay for contemplated installa- ton of a new $10,O00 telephone exchange and extension of telephone and electric light lines in the yi- cinity of Mud bay at a cost of S500O.
 This plan was announced at a council meeting last week at which the KPU board of control asked the council to authorize ". T. Stuart, utilities manager, to make a re- quest for the grant, Couneilmen ap- proved the request.
 If the federal money is given KPU to aid with the work the utilities will have to pay only s8250 of the $15,O0O cost of the two pro- jects.
 Installation of a new telephone exchange long has been anticipated MT. Stuart said, because the pres ent exchange is overloaded.
 Recently PWA authorized grant of s13,6O8 to Ketchikan utilities to aid in financing improvements to utilities within the city. The total cost of these projects was s3O,240 of which KPU paid s16,632.

Not by might nor by power, but
by my spirit saith he Lord. The
Lord is doing great things for
Hillside Presbyterian church. The
members are all in tune waiting
for a revival. And it is the pastors
sincere belief that the fire is GO
ing to fall" Although this church
has a membership of only 80 mem
bers its influence is felt through
out the entire west.
The average attedance is go.
Most churches have only one third
Of their membership attending the
services. For the success of the
church much credit is due Mr..
Ollie Lewis fer his untiring efforts
put forth in experimenting the
Sunday school. Together with his
faithful workers, Mrs. Jennie Lee
wis, Mrs. Luvinia Jackson, Mrs.
E. Marshall and Miss Bertha Rudd.
Speaking of Mr.. H. L. Preston,
and Miss Ethel Webb this SER
vices at Hillside as soloists will
long be remembered. Each faith
full member is also due credit for
the church's success. We are still
praying however that God will
touch the hearts of those twenty
who have found greater pleasure
in things of the world than things
of God. ''Thou will keep him in

BAHA1I FAITH

When Christ appeared with
those marvellous breaths of the
Holy Spirit the children of Isreal
said "We are quite Independent of
him; We can do without him and
Moses; We have a book and in it
are found the teachings of God;
What need therefore have We of
this MANI" Christ said to them
"The book sufficeth you not 1t
is no. possible for a man to hold
to q box of medicine and say az
have no need of a doctor; I will
act according to the book; in it
every disease is named, all symp-
toms T explained, the dignosis
of each ailment is completely
written out and a prescription for
each malady is furnished, there
fore why do | need a doctor?"
This is sheer ignorance. A physi-
clan is needed to prescribe through
his skill, the principles eff the
book are correctly and effectively
applied until the patient S res
tored to health. Christ was a hea-
venly physician. He brought spiri-
tual health and healing into the
world. Baha'u'llah is likewise a de-
vine physician. He has revealed
prescriptions for removing disease
from the body-politic and has re-
medied human conditions by spiri-
tual power. We may read in a me-
dical book that a certain form of
illness requires such and such re-
medy. While this may be absolute
ly true, the remedy is useless I'M
less there be violition and executive
force to apply it. 1t is therefore
evident and proved that an effort
must be put forward to complete
the purpose and plan Of the teach
ings of God in order that in this
great day of days the world may
he reformed, soul resuciated, a
new spirit of life found, hearts be-
come illumined, mankind rescued
from the bondage of nature and
the baseness of materialism and
attain spirituality and radiance in
attraction toward the divine king
