AVERAGE FOOD COST

Increase in Last Four Years Is
Shown by Bureau of
Labor Statistics. r
CAUSE PUZZLES STUDENTS
Embargo Favored by American Fed
eration of Labor Is Opposed by
National Grange; Advance In
Kew York Is Warning.
An Important Index to changing eco
nomic conditions is afforded by the re
cent bulletin of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, which ehows the price ad
vances in 27 different foodstuffs over
a period of four years. Commodities
has been the case for an previous
year.
"It must be borne in mind Oat the
high prices have struck the farmer In
whatever he buys aa much as it has the
city consumer. Farm labor is scarcer
and higher than ever before in tliis
country. Everything the farmer buys.
Whether machinery, fertilizer, fencing;,
clothing, or the necessities of life, has
Increased in price by leaps and bounds.
This also is true of taxations, t:e in
crease in many sections being- 50 'per
cent or more during the last five years.
Living Method Changed.
"Our city cousins have changed their
method of living quite as much as we
have. Instead of buying in quantities,
as formerly, they live in cramped quar
ters, with a. kitchenette 6x8 feet, and
buy in very small quantities, or live
out of cartons and cans."
Some economists and observers have
favored a trade commission that would
regulate the distribution and sale of
foodstuffs. It is suggested that emer
gency methods now in operation among
the warring peoples of Europe could
be applied to this country, even in
times of peace; that maximum prices
be established, and that shortages,
whether through meager crops, or the
manipulations of speculators, be care
fully guarded against.
Experts on marketing have advocat
ed a new system of marketing food
stuffs that eliminates needless trans
portation from various depots. A more
efficient system, they say, would es
tablish the sale of foodstuffs from -centers
convenient of access both to pro
ducers ana buyers. The situation in
New York that requires all perishable
goods to be hauled through the city

are listed from approximately 725 deal
ers in 44 of the princtpal cities of the
t'nited States, the retail costs are care
fully averaged, and the relatives pricee
established, so that percentage of in
creases can be noted. The conclusions,
although prosaic, will interest house
holders and family providers with an
Intensity eeldom aroused by other news
articles.
While housewives are sometimes in
terested by the news of the war, po
litical affairs, or notes on the drama,
t'-iere is no item that attracts such
breathless attention as the one which
shows an advance in the price of flour,
the price of sugar, or the price of but
ter. Economists Long Puzzled.
Economists have puzzled for a long
time over the causes of the advances.
The increase of tje gold supply, the re
duction of the food supply through ex
ports, short crops, lack of importations,
are all discussed with great thorough
ness. But the actual extent of the
price changes, whitfj in all discussions
has been a matter of conjecture. Is
here brought to a matter of dollars
and cents. The average incrsafc noted
bp the Bureau of Labor Statistics dur
ing the last four years s approximate
ly 21 per cent. That is to say, the av
erage food product that was bought at
retail for $1 is now Bold to tae con
sumer at $1.21.
There is no evading the situation
which prevails. Talk of an embargo
is now prevalent, and there is a remote
possibility that exports of foodstuffs
may be curtailed. Certain it is that
uch a measure, in operation or in pros
pect, would bring down the prices of
certain foodstuffs with a thump. But
the difficulties incurred by considera
tions of t'.ils issue are numerous and
prolific. It Is significant to note that,
while the American Federation of La
bor, meeting at Baltimore, was declar
ing in favor of an embargo, the Nation
al Grange, representing the farmers of
the country. adopted resolutions
gainst an embargo.
Grange Summarizes Conditions.
The attitude of the Grange is ex
pressed in the following clauses from
their statement:
"In many countries, with their c'-ieap
labor and high-priced lands, the yield
per acre exceeds that of the United
Ptates. The American farmer, with
cheap lands and high-priced, labor, pro
duces many times as much per man as
does the farmer of any country in the
world.
"A long. cold, wet Bprlng, followed
by -very hot. dry weather, extending
over a larger area of country than is
usually the case, reduced acreage and
yield to a more marked degree than

streets to the lower end of Manhattan
Island, and then retransported by heavy
trucks to retail stores and to storage
warehouses, could be eliminated
through heavy investment In new mar
ket centers distributed throughout tZie
whole city. Only a part of the whole
shipment to the city would be sent to
each of these stations, so that a great
expense of shipment and reshipment
would he eliminated.
Ratio Merely Increased.
One shaft of light thrown on the sit
uation shows that the heavy gold sur
plus in this country lias merely in
creased the ratio between the money in
our pockets and the commodities in our
storehouses. The loose change of com
merce has been increased in amount so
that we have $1.21 cents buying what
$1 formerly bought.
To bring about an adjustment, there
have been extensive changes in wage
and salary schedules. The wages of
machine workers in the munition plants
are said to top all previous records,
while the new industrial stimulus has
materially reduced the amount of un
employment and other ills which had
affected the economic condition of
American labor.
"Salaries" are usually slower to go
up than "wages," for a number of ob
vious reasons. The man employed in
an office, however, may anticipate a
raise in salary, if the gold Increase
continues. Already a raise ?as been
registered among the banking employes
of the Central Trust Company, of New
l orK, in imitation or what has been
done by the managers of many great
industrial corporations. The bank has
established a fund which will pay to
its employes lor the period of one
year. If tlie present period of high
prices continues, an additional amount
equal to 31 per cent of their regular
salaries.
Statisticians Study Costs.
The actual increase in living ex
penses had been a matter of some con
cern to the employes of the bank since
the outbreak of the European war.
It had been decided by the management
of the bank to raise salaries in propor
tion to the increase in living costs. To
determine the exact amount of tlie in
crease, the bank set trained statisti
cians to work on-the problem. For
several weeks these statisticians were
kept busy investigating prices paid for
rent, fuel, clothing and food products.
The findings of the New York statis
ticians may not be taken as exact for
the Increase in living- costs here, al
though many of the items tiave keut
pace with the New York Increases. Rent
Is one of the items, however, which
have not registered material advances
in "Western cities; food products, in
some cases, have not gone quite so
higt in New York. But, on the whole.
the 31 per cent Increase which was dis
covered in New York might be taken
by Westerners as a very definite warn
ing, and a measure by which they
should plan their savings and their
economies.
TWO HOMES ARE BURNED
Hillsboro Family Suffers Loss Twice
In 60 Days.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fields, of Hills
boro. have reason to think that a fire
hoodoo is pursuing them, for, during
the last two months they have lost by
fire two houses in Portland.
Mr. Fields, who is an engineer on the
Southern Pacific, returned to his home
at 1107 Milwaukle avenue September
so to rind that it had burned down
during the night and that his wife and
little boy had barely escaped In their
night clothes.
Then they moved to Hillsboro. On
November 27, the next blaze wiped out
a residence -at 1685 Taylor's Ferry
roan, wnicn naa ..Deen lert to his wife
by her parents and Mrs. Fields did not
learn of the loss until she carae to
town to collect the rent. An ver
turned lamp Is believed to have been
the cause of the last fire.
MAN DEAD; MILL BLAMED
Coroner's Jury Charges Iack of Ma
chinery Safeguards.
Lack of proper safeguards to the ma
chinery at the St. Johns Lumber Com
pany's mill caused the death of J. O.
Stephens, a millwright, of 830 Michigan
avenue, Friday morning, according to
the verdict of a Coroner's Jury,, ren
dered on Friday night.
The verdict was to the effect that
Mr. Stephens came to his death through
the negligence of the company. Which
the verdict said, had not properly safe
guarded its machinery. Four of Mr.
Stephens' fellow workers testified that
the shaft on which his clothing caught
when he was whirled to instant death
was not properly guarded. Another
swore that the end of the shafting
which kliled Mr. Stephens had been
sawed off after the accident,"

60 GIRLS ARE FEASTED
BIO THANKSGIVING DINNER
SERVED BV Y. "W. C. A.
Merry Time Had by Young Womtn
Away From Home, and Some "BIk
Brothers" Are Asked In.
There was an open door and there
were seats at the table for 60 girls on
Thanksgiving day at the Young Wom
en's Christian Association.
Thl9 organization, knowing the needs
of girl life and realizing what Thanks
gving away from home means to hun
dreds of girls without homes in this
city, arranges each year at Thanksgiv
ing time for just such a gathering aa
this. A profusion of holly branches
with their bright red berries for- color
ing made a most artistic table decora
tion, Mrs. Charles Kanim donating the
holly for the occasion. Five big, brown,
crisp turkeys, one at each corner and
and one In the center of the big K
shaped table gave .the real home
Thanksgiving touch to the scene.
Three young men invited over from
the Y. M. C. A. gave' the "big brother"
feature to the dinner.
Six Y. W. C. A. secretaries, girls
themselves away from home, volun
teered to do the serving on this oc
casion, and helped In no small way to
spread the feeling of hospitality and
friendliness which was characteristic
of the occasion. '
Miss Constance Wheeldon was In
charge of the dining-room and the pro
gramme. Miss Carrie A. Holbrook,
president of the association, acted as
toastmistress. Between courses there
were songs, stories, conundrums and
stunts of various kinds. An unexpected
guest on this occasion was Miss Grace
Maxwell, one of the Northwestern field
workers, who dropped Into the associa
tion just as dinner was called. She
reported that a new Y. W. C. A. had
just been organized In Walla Walla.
Miss James said she was thankful for
the sweet spirit of love and friendli
ness which bound together the Y. W.
C. A. girls of 22 different nations, and
told the Incident of the little flaxen
haired, blue-eyed girl, who shortly
after arriving In this country told a
Y. W. C A. secretary she was so glad
there was a Y. W. C. A. In America
like there was In Sweden.
The time, the place and the girls
each served to make this occasion one
of Portland's most happy and success
ful Thanksgiving gatherings.
KLAMATH BEETS ARE RICH

ALCOHOL "DRUNKS" FEWER
Apparent Heed of Drugrlsts Is
Pleasing to Court Officials.
The uncompromising attitude of Mu
nicipal Judge Langguth toward the
sales of alcohol, andi the rigid Investi
gation that follows the appearance of
"white mule" victims In court, appears
to be telling on the evil. But one
inebriate before the Municipal Court
yesterday morning laid his sorrow at
the door of the drusglst. Officers of
the court were Jubilant at the evidence
that pharmacists are taking heed.
ThomasyCornell. who admitted that
he had drunk alcohol, was sentenced
to a few-hours In Jail. John Morrisey,
who took the whisky route to police
headquarters, was similarly treated,
while Patrick McNeil, Frank Golse and
J. E. Ballen were each fined 10. In
the latter case the fine was suspended.
