Guests of Club

DR. and Mrs. Howard E. Kershner,
who were in Washington for several
days, left last evening for tour of
this country. DR.. and Mrs. Kersh-
ner recently came back to this coun-
try from Europe where they have
been working with the International
Commission for the Assistance of
Child Refugees, of which DR.. Kersh-
ner is executive vice president and
director. Yesterday afternoon they
were entertained by the American
Newspaper Women's Club at the tea
hour in its attractive clubhouse at
1904 Twentieth street when they
each gave a talk on their work.
Mrs. KerShner showed slides de-
pictlng the children who are being
cared for in the colonies established
by not only the organizati ton with
which they are working but also by
the American Friends Service Com
mittee with which they worked from
1889 to 1912. There was no appeal
made for money by either DR.. and
Mrs. Kershner. Their appeal is for
permission from this Government
and that of Great Britain for the
shipment of foods to these children
who will be the citizens of the
occupied countries after the war. To
give them proper health in their
bodies and thus keep their minds
normal Is crying need. both DR..
and Mrs. Kershner states. DR..
Kershner also said that these citi-
zens of tomorrow would have no
use for democracy if the countries
under democratic rule failed to feed
them while they are in such great
need.
Miss Alice Eversman. president Of
the club. received the guests and
introduced the speakers. the party,
like all such fetes at the club, being

Dinner Pail Kicks the Bucket
 WASHINGTON-The war is writ. ing the passing of the old dinner pail-full or otherwise.
 Never again will any politician be able to revive that old campaign war cry, the full dinner pail" And since you can hardly make political capital out Of such slogans az "big- ger and better cafeterias," or "a thicker box lunch for every work ing man." it probably marks the be- ginning of new era.
 Over in the War Foods Adminis- tration is the Nutrition in Industry Division. Headed by Dr. Robert S. Goodhart, it's main objective is to see that the war worker is as well fed as the soldiers in the field.
 "In-plant Feeding"
 This is done by ''in-plant feed ing'' although that name is a little confusing because the system also permits feeding workers at nearby government supervised restaur- ants, cafeterias, lunch counters and box-lunch distribution centers. Act ually, within the plants, there are now three forms of getting food to employees: cafeterias, portable or stationary lunch counters, and the box lunch system.
 In spite of the spiralling growth of war plants in this country, more than 40 per cent of those employ ing more than 250 persons (and probably thousands of lesser ones now have in-plant. government SUD- ervised feeding.
 WFA and OPA profess to be dis appointed that there aren't more. They would like to see this country match England where 96 per cent of the "more-than-250" plants have done away with the dinner pail not to mention 7,500 smaller factories.

Washington, D. c. - Until re-
Gently, the cost of living index
ngures issued by the bureau of
labor statistics of the department
OF labor seem to have been ac-
cepted as gospel. But now, with
labor groups asking for higher
wages because of high retail
prices and the OPA working to
bring prices down to normal, con-
siderable doubt has been cast on
the accuracy of the bureaus fig
ureS.
Consequently, a committee of
the War Labor board, which must
determine whether to recommend
higher wages, is investigating cur
rent figures to find out if they
do reflect the true cost of living.
According to the bureaus fig
ures, the cost of living has in
creased 22.9 per cent since Janu-
airy, 1941. But, since the cost of
some groups of items have risen
more than that average and others
less, the increase in the cost of
living, probably varies according
to the requirements of each fam
lily and of each income group. The
bureau figures, for example, show
that the cost of food has risen 4O.5
per cent while the cost of cleo
trlcity has risen only 6.8 per cent
and the cost of rent only 80 per
cent. Thus it is obvious that the
total cost of living per family
which has always paid low rent,
uses little electricity and spends
a large proportion of its income
for food has risen considerably
more than the average. 1t is also
a question how much considera-
ton the bureau has given to
quality. If a man, now earning
more money than usual, buys
more expensive shoes, that does
not indicate an increase in basic
living costs, but if he has to pay
more for the same kind of shoes
he has always worn, that does
represent an increase.
Organized labor is claiming
that the Little Steel formula,
which permitted wage increases
up to Is per cent more than they
were in January, 1941, should be
strapped because living costs
have risen much more than Is
per cent. The bureau of labor
