" Workers Better Off Now

Real Wages Highest in History of Nation Con

Babson Declares.

Living costs have plunmeted while
wage rates have skyrocketed The
cost Of living, as estimated by au-
thOrities today, is off a seventh from
1929. This means that a man who is
receiving the same wage today that
he was 10 years ago, actually has
been given a l6 per cent pay boost
The worker who today gets IA per
cent less in his pay envelope than in
1929 can buy just as much as he
could then.
Food and Clothing Cheaper
Major savings in the average
family's living costs today are in the
weekly market basket. Food now is
almost a third cheaper than in 1929
There is not much saving in rent or
the cost of building. If you want to
build house today it will cost you

German Liner
Leaves Mexico
For Germany

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Dec. IA
(AP) 32,581-ton German
liner Columbus slipped out of
Vera Cruz in the darkness
early today on what was an
apparent attempt to run the At
lantic and reach a German port
through the Allied naval block
AIDE.
Also at sea was the German
freighter Arauca, which cleared
Vera Cruz harbor for New
Orleans, La.
The Columbus, rich war
prize if it falls into the hands
of Allied WarshipS, obtained pa
pers for a transatlantic cross
ing. The secrecy of her depar-
ture was because of the pres
ence of British Warsi1ips pa
trolling Gulf and Caribbean
waters.
