s And a Barn
To Play In
By NELL WOM4CK EVANS

THAT EVERY child might some time
exchange blinks with gentle. bright
eyed horses. glimpse a brand-new, wob-
bly, calf. perhaps discover in dark
corners nestled treasures of warm,
freckled eggs, and climb in poyous
agony furrowed and crooked steps to
the paradise Of a haymow, I would add
land a barn TO play in to the children's
prayer. IF only once. dear Lord, a
barn-a harbor in the sea of child
hood. .
The barn should be red-a faded old
building with lightning rods on top and
squeaky doors. From its rafters should
hang ropes of cobwebs. circus nets to
catch imaginary acrobats performing
for the eyes of childhood. There should
be dust there, laden with the scent of
animals, a nigh shelf filled with jars OF
rusty nails, and leather harness and
two fine old saddles side by side, rid
ing wooden horses.
Spirals of hairy rope big enough
to hide child from the shame of
parental disfavor, and hooded buggy,
black with gold trim. and singing
whip intact rear to the drivers hand
to spur the team on-outrunning this
sudden deflation How easy then to
make friends with real live horses
whinnying in their wooden stalls, whose
great quivering nostrils and venture
some nnane-tossing had hitherto scared
toned to animals.
How natural to extend hand through
the bars and stroke their silken noses

After a short interval the bird song

time being.

Time COst (Minute

AS you see, it now takes less work
time and a smaller portion of wages to
buy a given basket of food than it did
in 1889
Another question we hear quite fire.
quently do the modern processed
foods cost more than the Impressed
kinds? Not necessarily. For example,
in 1853 fresh peas sold at an average
retail price of about 81 cents per
pound. But pods and other waste ac-
counted for 81 per cent of the weight,
making the cost of shelled peas 70
cents a pound. In contrast, 1O-ounce
package of quick frozen peas sold at
an average retail price of about 10
cents-roughly 80 cents a pound.
There are many more examples in
the field of canned and frozen foods,
cake mixes and other packaged goods.
These foods are made more economical
for the homemaker because many
waste materials are removed at the
factory, thus eliminating the cost Of
transporting, storing and handling the
unnecessary bulk. And perhaps even
more important is the fact that pro-
cessed foods are generally less perish
able. and so the cost of spoilage and
special handling to avoid spoilage is
cut down.-ANIY MARTIN.

Government statistics show that in
many cases earnings are at least three
times greater today than they were
is years ago. Let's consider what this
means in terms of how much of his
work time an average wage Garner
has to exchange for some specific food
products today as compared to 1889

consumers may be up only 2 or 3 pc
cent over 1854. Employment may no
increase enough to absorb all the an
nual addition of around 600 900 to the
labor force and unemployment MAY
continue a little higher than in moss
recent years.
The government has been ssnudeing''
the economy forward. Federal reserve
bank policy has kent money plentiful,
credit easy and interest rates low to
stimulate construction and business ex-
pansion. Under LEGISLATION enacted in
1916. the government has responsibility
for trying to promote full employment
and maintain nrosnerity.
Not only are consumers likely to be
SLIGHTLY better heeled than in 1854 there
will be more of them. Formulation in
creased about 81 million in the past
year and an increase of about the same
number can be exnected this year.
In addition to prospects of silently
better domestic demand, exports of
farm products are likely to be larger
in 1855. FOREIGN countries have more
dollar buying power than year ago.
Crop losses have increased Eurore's
need to import bread grains. Recent
legislation provides for selling farm
products to be paid for in FOREIGN cur
rencies and for shipments to meet fam
inc or other relief needs.
Barring disastrous drouth, the gov
eminent is not likely to reduce greatly
its stocks other than corn and cotton
unless there is substantial stepping up
of give-away programs. 81
Gradually accommodating surnluses will
tend to maintain pressure on the general
level of farm prices. Grain prices will
continue quite dependent on price sup
ports which probably will be lower on
all 1855 grain crops. For wheat, sup
port will drop from 1924 to about $2.O6.
While larger consumer buying power
will be a favorable influence on retail
prices for food and clothing, the pres
sure to increase wages will tend to raise
costs of processing and distribution
which may prevent any rise in the por-
ion of the retail price that is passed
back to the farmer.
Farmers probably will be able to re-
luce their production expenses slightly
n 1855. Prices of industrial goods and
lrban services they buy probably will
verage about the same as in the last
ear. But. farmers are likely to do
more shopping for bargains and they
nay cut corners and do without a little

Yes, Malachi has been brought

had learned to say "bore p'ri

out of his happy home. The front
door was for the moment open
and out he went. II may have
been he was thinking of romantic
adventure. seeking some young
and pretty parakeet named Re-
becca or Rachel.
Anyway, Malachi was gone and
the sadness fell heavy on his
household. His mistress waited at
the open window through many
a day hoping that a Jewish edu-
Gated parakeet like Malachi might
by spiritual nostalgia be per-
suaded back to the Jewish house.
! But no! The weeks passed and
no sign Of Malachi. His family ad-
vertised for him in the news

pocket Are you the ones

They paid the boy SIS reward
but they just couldn't be sure this
really was Malachi. This parakeet
looked lot like Malachi same
figure same color E. but
they couldn't be sure. And, as
weeks passed, they became more
convinced that this wasn't Ma
lachi. A truly Jewish parakeet
could have been expected to an
nounce his Jewish quality from
the beginning. Malachi was none
of those who try to cover up their
Jewish identity. If this were
really Malachi he would proudly
have announced 81 am Malachi"

knew always was announcing

he missed the insignificant winged shadow. . He
wished them well wherever they now journeyed.
He hoped they'd stay together.

asked, "How old is he?'
