Youth Injured
In Fall From
35-Foot Cliff

Bobby Hathaway, 16-year-old son
of State Senator and Mrs. w. H
Hathaway, fell over a 35-foot cliff
on his ranch on the Duquesne road
Saturday noon while horseback rid
ing. He suffered three broken ribs
and an injured back.
AS the horse fell, Bobby managed
to jump clear of him, an act which
may have saved his life, as the
horse landed only three or four feet
from him.
The horse was killed so Bob was
forced to walk about two miles to his
home.

"Baloney
Biographs"
(By MARTY LOUGHMAN)
Senor v. Molotov
Dear Mol:

Senor v. Molotov
Dear Mol:
They tell me you are in charge of
everything that obstructS justice ex-
cept the few things you can clear
with Elliott or Emery Chalfant, and
that's why I am writing you today.
Will you please clear this with
Elliott or Emery Chalfant? Last
week I got smart and wrote what I
thought was cute letter in the
paper about parking. I told all our
good neighbors to keep off the
streets, otherwise they would get a
ticket. Mr.. Molotov, who do you
think got the first ticket? None
other than Marty Loughman!
I gave the copper who put the
ticket on my car quite an argument
I told him that my car had only
been there So minutes and he in
return said to me, "You are like all
fat guys your age. You don't know
how fast time flies" So saw there
was no use arguing with him-which
reminded me of a story of my good
friends Ginsberg and DR.. Lapidus.
Each morning these two good
friends used to get bawled out in
Chicago by traffic cop whose main
aim in life seemed to be to give the
devil to Ginsberg or DR.. Lapidus, so
one day Ginsberg is having lunch
with DR.. Lapidus and he says, Il
sure told off that traffic policeman
that has been giving us the business
every morning I said to him, And
do you think that you are a COM
mander of Hitler's brown shirts. Do
you think that you are czar OF
Russia? 1 am telling you that you
are a servant of the people. No
more shall you tell us what to do
because we are taxpayers and we are
not afraid of the Car of Russia or
Adolf Hitler -
So my little friend DR.. Lapidus
says, That's a wonderful speech.
What did he do to you when you
said that?''
Ginsberk said meekly, HE gave
me a ticket
And that's what will. happen to
you people when you park too long
on the street.
Now in a more serious vein would
like to draw to your attention some
thing that the superintendent OF
schools is publicizing. Next week,
from January 28th to 31st inclusive
they are bringing into this town q
free x-ray outfit to see if anyone
here has even a speck of ''T.B.' - This
is the most wonderful thing that
could happen because I'm telling
you guys I lost my daddy in 1897 at
the youthful age of "a, and I just
recently lost a son 81 years old, both
of whom could have been saved hac
they known in time that they were
infected with this man killer "T.B. .
Like they say in the poster, B. .
can be stopped or controlled. It's
the duty of every person in town te
take advantage of this x-ray exam
ination to learn whether or not any
one in the family is infected, in or
der to prevent future heartaches..
incidentally, I will be glad to lool
at the x-rays of a lot of these tomato
men. It has been my private opinion
that several of them don't have E
thing that is known as a heart. Bu
as a group they are okay-I foune
that out. ....
Best regards,
MARTY.

bureau OF LABOR StatlSIlCS al
the request of the house appro-
priations committee. Started
two and half years ago, the
job is the most complete survey
of city living costs made by the
federal government since a
1885 study made by the WPA.
Submitted to the joint committee
on the economic report December
16 by y l. S Commissioner Evan
Slague. the report shows how much
Americans living at an assumed stand
ard OF modest decency have to spend
in each department Of their budget.
Clague made it plain that the BIS
survey is well below the standard
set by the Heller budget Of the Uni
~versity Of California. often used as
a measure of so-called American liv-
ing standards.
The estimated cost of the BIS
family budget varies from a high of
S3,45S in Washington, DC. down to
$1,000 in New Orleans. where living
cost are lowest of the "a cities
surveyed. Assuming the family head
is employed so weeks a year at full
pay on the 40-hour week, the budget
cost would break down at 500 weekly
or $1.7212 an hour in Washington,
and $50 weekly or S1.50 an hour in
New Orleans. And the BIS consum-
ers price index has risen 1876 in three
months since the time for which fig
ures hi.>e been compiled.
Most important factor making for
the difference in living costs among
the 81 cities. BIS said. is the cost OF
housing. Those making the study
found a greater differential between
large and small cities in housing and
other costs than between regions,
They also noted that low spending
in certain areas was more Of low
income than a sign Of lower need.
The BIS study. basing its imembei
family budget on the actual buying
habits of the us. public, shows that
the food items required an expendi
ture of about SIS weekly or 1Sc pei
meal in 1916 and nearly $40 a week
