Living Costs Reach
New Peak For 1852
Costs Have Almost Doubled 1885,
1889 Base Figure
BY Assoeioted Press

The cost of living as measured
by the government increased slight
~ to set another new record in
mid-August
Il was the third month in a row
that a new high had been reached
by the cost of living index com
puted by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics (BLS).
In mid-August the index stood
at 1911 as compared to 1908 in
mid-Juiy. The BIS uses the aver
age for the years 1935-1939 as a
base figure Of 100. What this means
is that for each 81 the average fam
lily spent on living costs in 1886
1899, 1t now must spend a little
over S1.91 to buy the same things.
The mid-August figure is 8 per
cent higher than last August and
1913 per cent higher than the level
just prior to the outbreak of war
in Korea.
The three successive monthly
records set this summer we're: Mid
June, 1896; mid-July, 1908, and
mid-August, 1911.
The Bureau reported living cost
increases in the month prior to-
August 18th were relatively small,
with the prices for apparel actually
declining slightly.
