SURVEY SHOWS
BETTER Diet
In MOST CITIES

The diet of most Americans in cities
was much better in the fall of 1914
than had been expected under war.
time conditions, according to John P
Parrish. regional director of the Chi
cago office of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U. S. Department OF
Labor. For lowest income groups
diets were maintained or improved
but with a considerable financial
drain upon their resources.
A survey made by the bureau in the
fall of 1914 revealed that the diet OF
city families compared very favorably
with the diet of families with similar
incomes in the spring of 1912. The
lowest income groups, in particular,
bought more meat, milk, sugar, flour
| and bakery goods than in 1912. Pur-
chases of fruits and vegetables de-
clined but the consumption of these
items was supplemented by increased
home production. At the highest in
come level, the amount of meat but
ter, and cheese obtained was smaller
than in 1912 despite a greater food
expenditure.
The improved diets of the lowest
income families meant very heavy
drain on family resources, with food
outays taking about 20 per cent of
this income as contrasted with so
per cent in 1912.
at is probable that a sizeable group
of servicemen's wives living on allot
ments, but accustomed to incomes
that permitted much better scale of
living, were included in the lower in
come group" Parrish said. among
others included in this group are:
newly employed single persons, young
couples, retired persons, and persons
requiring public assistance.
Regardless of the reason for the
high food expenditures by families
with incomes below $1,000, it seems
obvious that they must have run UP
large debts, cut seriously into saw
ings they had, or reduced their pur.
chases of other living essentials to a
very low point"
Food costs also presented an espe-
cially serious problem for large fami-
lies, not only in the lowest income
group, but at income levels up to
SO ,OO0 the survey shows. Among large
families with smaller incomes, ade.
quate diets were probably the excep-
ton rather than the rule, even in
1912, and certainly in 1914, according
to Parrish.
These are the findings of two-part
survey of prices paid by consumers
in 1914. The first part, made in the
nation on food purchases during one
fall of 1914, provided detailed infor-
week, purchases of clothing and house
hold textiles during the first month
of the year, tenure and rental in
August 1914 and sufficient informa-
ton on family composition, living ar
rangements, and income to provide a
basis for classification
The second part will provide data
on food purchases during one week,

The Principle Of

dependency arising from the death of
the breadwinner would have to be
met somehow. The alternative means
would be general taxation, as is the
case now with public assistance, and
such taxation falls to large extent
on those in the upper income brack-
cts. The size of the bill, moreover,
would be a steadily growing one. Ow-
ing to the fact that the number of
our aged is increasing both absolutely
and in proportion to the population,
we shall soon be faced with a much
graver problem of old-age dependency
than exists today Contributory So
cial insurance gives us the opportun-
ity of handling this problem on long
range basis, through systematic
method of financing, rather than a
year-to-year upsystematic method.

Labor turnover rotes in Michigan

National figures show that so of
