Drop in Cost Of Living
Wipes Out Advances
Made During 1948
Prices Still Above 1916;
Food Leeds in Decline
Of 5 Straight Months

A drop for the fifth straight
month in the cost Of living has
wiped out virtually all the 194s
increases.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported last night that it's con-
sumers' price index declined IL
per cent between January is and
February Is with the most sub
stantial drop being in the cost Of
food.
The decline brought the cost-of'
living index to a point only o.!
per cent higher than q year ago
It was one Of the sharpest drop
in monthly cost-of-living figure'
since the BIS started its inde1
nine years ago, and the longes'
consecutive decline in 10 years.
On the other hand, a BIS report
today showed q gain over the past
year in the average earnings OF
the 12.600,000 production workers
in manufacturing plants.
In mid-February the weekly
earnings reached $54.25. although
the work week was about an hour
shorter than a year earlier, when
earnings were $51.75. Average
hourly earnings we're put at ap-
proximately $1.3S. about 9 cents
above 4 year ago.
Drops 1.S Per Cent Here.
Cost Of living in Washington de-
clined along with the figures from
the rest of the country. The BIS
estimated the drop here between
is and February IS at
g per cent and only 0.6 per cent
higher than the February index
of last year. The index is based
on surveys in 56 cities.
The overall index figure on Feb
ruary Is, the last date Of the Gov
survey. was 1863 per cent
of the 1858 average which is
taken as the normal period in the
cost survey. It was 81 per cent
higher than June, 1916, when price
controls were abandoned, and II
per cent above the pre-war level
Of August, 1889.
Chief Reason for Drop.
The agency said the chief rea-
son for the drop was a Al per
cent decrease in food prices.
which have fallen almost with
out interruption since June, 1913"
Prices Of clothing dropped 2.3
per cent during the three month
period; house furnishings declined
fractionally. and prices of other
goods and services were slightly
higher. BIS said.

occurred between mid January
and mid-February, estimated at
3.6 per cent. BIS singled out an
10 per cent drop in egg prices,
more than 9 per cent for meats,
poultry and fish and more than

mitted he has no idea now
Just when he will retire.
When first persuaded to
scratch his name on a sheet
of legal paper back in 1887.
Sammy honestly thought the
pro league would be too rough
for his lean, 175-pound frame.
One year would be enough, he
decided. absolutely no more.
But somehow he stayed long
enough to help rewrite the
record book.
when feel I can't help
the club or do q job for 1t on
the field I'll quit" he said.
"But can't tell the difference
between this year and the last
three or four. Maybe it's be-
cause I'm not playing as
much"
When Sammy does hang up
his cleats he would like to try
his hand at coaching and
would like to be connected
with the Redskins" But his
1850 contract is a straight
player document. with no men,
ton of a player-coach deal.
It probably is a personal con-
tract between himself and
Prexy George Marshall, with
Sans regular National Foot
ball League papers calling for
the muniflcent salary Of 81 per
year.
Nobody outside the inner
sanctum knows how much
Baugh has earned in pro foo@
ball, but his tieup with Mar
shall has been profitable
enough to permit him to retire
to his Texas acres with q rea-
sonable amount Of security and
comfort whenever he feels In

arm loses its snap.
Some records seem beyond
the old gents sights at this
point In his tllustrious career.
Sid Luckman, Bear quarterback
and two years Sans Junior in
the league. has thrown seven
touchdown passes in one game
to six for Baugh. Luckman also
completed % IT. one season to
rs for the Singer. Cecil Isbell,
onetime Green Bay great and
until recently coach Of the AAC
Baltimore Colts, threw touch
down passes In % consecutive
games. a record approached
only by Luckman's string of 10.
Baugh's longest streak was 10
games. Isbeu also holds the
shortest pass record, 4 inches,
while the longest pass-run gain,
q 99-yard Job. was engineered
by Frank Filchock, Baugh's for
mer understudy, and Andy
Farkas.
Baugh, however, has enough
laurels to rest on. Never one
to monopolize the spotlight de-
liberately and held in the high
est esteem by all Of his team
mates, even the long line Of
pass-t hrowing quarterbacks
supposed to succeed him but
who faded long before getting
the chance. Sans niche in pro
football history seems as secure
as that Of Walter johnson in
baseball.
The splendid splinter isn't
looking back, however, but peer
ing into the future. He thinks
Harry Gilmer, latest heir ap-
parent, is a cinch to make the
grade at quarterback with
proper and sufficient schooling.
He likes Herman Ball as head
coach and although agreeing
that the Giants will be trouble
some Sunday at New York Sam
has q suspicion the Redskins
can beat them and close out the
season with three straight wins.
Moreover, he expects to do his
part to accomplish that feat, on

The Male Angle
By Harry Keene

More and more smartly dressed
men are picking greens Of various
tones for one Of their new winter
suit choices. Because green Is q
new color in most mems ward
robes, and because many men are
puzzled when they have to choose
the proper accessories to 60 with
already established suiting shades.
I'm devoting this column to some
ideas for color "eo-withs" to ac-
company this new clothing color.
As with any ensemble, you can't
expect to reach into your shirt
drawer in the dark, pull out any
shirt and hope for the best. A
little bit of planning can make
the difference between q smart
looking, good-taste ensemble and
one that witnesses the fact that 1t
was chosen in the dark!
For green suitings, certain
shades are more becoming in
shirts than others. White. OF
course, is always in good taste. but
can become monotonous If worn
continually.
For variety, therefore. choose q
shirt In a smart masculine rose
that's not too pastel q tint :, or
one In pastel yellow, both Of which
contrast handsomely with the
shades Of green being shown IN
winter suits.
When choosing neckwear. you
not only must think Of your suit
ing shade but Of your shirt color
as well. Ties which have green
backgrounds and incorporate Ia
their patterns the colors Of the
shirts look particularly handsome.
BY the same token, the reverse
combination. that is, the ground
color of the tie taken from the
shirt with boldly contrasting green
stripes or figures is equally smart.
In this case, make certain that
figures are strong and sharply
contrasting apd that greens tend
definitsly TO Z be dark side.
