Family Income Rises,
But So Do Living Costs

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. American
families now find approximately
500 100000 month more in their
collective pay envelopes than in the
summer of 1899, the Family Eco
nomics Bureau of Northwestern Ma
tional Insurance Co. said today
At the same time, however, living
costs, which remained stationary
during 1899 except for a short-lived
upward furry at the outbreak of
the war, were reported to be on the
rise, due mainly to climbing food
prices. Both food prices and total
living costs, the bureau said, have
now passed the brief peak reached
last autumn.

Big Rise Reported

CHICAGO, Sept. 30-There was
NO holiday in traffic fatalities on the
highways in Augustine Nations
heaviest vacation month.
The surge OF vacation travel last
month was cited today by the Ma
tional Safety Council as the major
factor in what it termed a Startling
increase in the number OF automobile
deaths.
The council reported the countrv's
traffic toll mounted to 1920 deaths
in August, the greatest rise In any
month since March, 1887, and an 13

in August last year.
The August total was reversal
OF the 3 per cent decline recorded in
July and II per cent above the
July toll. The normal July August
increase is per cent.
Two Reasons Listed.
The council listed two reasons
why 1t attributed the August In
crease to vacationing motoriSts-re-
ports indicating unusually heavy
traffic and an indicated 25 per cent
increase in deaths on rural highways
as against an increase of only 4 per
cent in the Nations cities.
The heavy August automobile death
list boosted the total for the first
eight months Of the year to 20640-
a gain of 7 per cent over the 1920
toll for the corresponding period last
year.
The council said that only the very
largest cities-those of $4,000 or more
opulation-"could take pride IN
their August record" The metro
politan centers had IL per cent fewer
deaths than in August. 1899.
Four Deathless Records.
