WHY HAVE "FAMII.Y INCOMES" NEVER WON THE
RACE WITH COST OF LIVING?

THE WORKERS, AND THE AMERICAN people whole,
living That appears to be the main point OF report
published this week by the Federal Reserve Board.
The report compares the middle Incomes OF the 46500
600 American families and previous years To under
stand the figures it necessary to remember two facts:
First middle income" means that half the families re-,
ceived less than that amount of money and half received
more. 1t is not average income - .
Second figures show the incomes of families, not of
individuals. If two members OF family nave IN
comes, they counted as one income.
At first glance the report to give something to
cheer about. 1t gives figures like these:
From $2O2O in 1915, the middle income of all Amer
lean families $2 300 in 1916, increase of $3.50
middle income of workers families increased only
$1OO, to $4,000 in 1916.
Families whose breadwnners had "whte collar business
jobs received middle income OF $500 IN 1916, rise OF
$4OO or four times that of the workers.
Families of professional men, did still better their
middle income going up 500, to $4,000 in 1916
The hourly wages Of workers rose the report says, but
their working hours cut thus leaving only the compar
atvely small increase in "take-home pay"
The report obviously expodes the main argument used
for passage of the Harey shackng BILL It's sup
sad % hT dg thu dd Of wage work
er families rise much less last year than that of any other
group of American families?
Next comes the part of the report which shows these
middle income gains fictitious for workers and every
else.
The income rises "ofset by increases in the prices
consumer goods the report 1t adds that all dollar
income gains since the 93O have been cancelled by the rs
ing cost OF living
What's the for this dead heat between income
and prices? What wrong partial answer to those ques
tions is given by the report.
comparatively families have the large incomes and
most of the Savings" it says.
OF the 465000O0 families 10 per cent, or 46500OO in
1916 got almost onethd of the total income and owned 40
of the total savings banks and government bonds
At the other end of the scale 86OOO00 families, or 40
per cent had incomes below $4,000 got far less than their
the total income and owned only Is per cent of the
savings
This report, by a conservative government financial
agency presents much food for thought For example in
commenting it this week, Senator Pepper (Dem., Fla
pointed out this:
The American Medical Association advised the country
that people making less than $4,000 year cannot provide
adequate medical for themselves and their families
Half of all American families made less than So 300 even
in the breaking year 1916 Yet the medical assoca
tion so-caed Doctors Trust opposes legislation to
provide medical service for the American people

1T WON'T MAKE US RICH

ONE OF THE FAVORITE arguments for lending billions OF
dollars to foreign countries is that they the money
buy American products thus EXPORTS provide
employment here, and help stave off depression.
That argument is discussed by "Newsweek," conser-
vative magazine 1t says:
eff could create prosperity merely by making goods
give away then would not have to give them to foreign
countries.
1--WE could make the goods to give away to poor
- build good housing which badly need and turn
it to them.
Simplest of ALL could turn to them money taken
from the taxpayers and let them buy with it whatever they
wanted"
That is exactly the kind of thing doing, the mag
says but giving money and goods to other
nations instead of to We Confuse the issue
by calling it foreign trade"
Nobody get rich by giving his goods away. The
loss must be made good by increased every Ame
American will then have just that much less
to buy American goods The country will be poorer
by the amount Of goods it has given away
The American people do not begrudge money goods

With hot weather just around the
corner, we need to remember a few
points about caring for eggs at home
Eggs want but little, nor want
that little thing long" But, they
want what they want when they
want it. And that is to be kept cool,
to be kept dry and clean.
Many people think that fresh egg
is a new egg. But a new egg is not
always fresh. And, a fresh egg is
not always hewlett a day ola egg
lie one day in a hot hen house or
store and it may not be as fresh as
an egg that's kept 6 months under
controlled refrigeration. A properly
refrigerated egg will be better at the
end of six months than a 2-day old
egg neglected for 2-days.
People have all sorts of ideas a
bout Keeping eggs in r~efrigerators.
One is that eggs sweat" What act
ually happens is that when you take
a cold egg out of the refrigerator
into a warm room, the moisture in
the air condenses on the cold shell.
You've seen the same thing happen
when you took a glass or other con
tainer out of the refrigerator. Re-
member, if you once put eggs in the
refrigerator, don't take them out I'M
til you r nearly ready to use them.
Eggs must be kept cool. This is
the reason 6-month old eggs pro-
perly refrigerated are better than
2-day old eggs in the hen house or
a hot store.
Eggs must be kept dry to protect
the velvety coating with which the
shell of a new egg is shellacked.
We keep an egg clean to keep it
dry. A dirty spot usually means a
wet spot, or a place where mois-
ture will accumulate. To remove a
dirty spot use only a dry cloth or
brush unless you are about to use
the egg. A housewife who washes
eggs before she puts them in the
refrigerator is committing a perfect
crime.

BLACK SPOT OF ROSES

Black spot is the most serious
rose disease. You first see it when
small black spots appear on the
leaves. These spots grow in size.
Finally, the leaves turn yellow and
drop off. AS the leaves come off,
the plant stops growing as it should.
You see more of the black spot dis
ease during hot rainy weather. There
is no cure for the disease. All you
can do is prevent it
Burn diseased leaves. Dust after
each rain with busting sulphur or
spray with bordeaux mixture. Keep
one of the fungicides on the leaves
all the time. Some roses can resist
black spot better than othres. They
don't have to have as regular atten-
ton as more susceptible varieties.
The disease does not seem to injure
roses that are growing vigorously as
it does weaker plants.
