Wilson. 1927 Babson Discusses Real Cost of Living Babson Park, Mass., Nov. 21—I know something about "oost-of-liv- ing" indices. When I was Assistant to the Secretary of Labor I had a hand in making the government cost- of-living index then in use. The U. S. Bureau of Labor’s present index is complete, but impractical. 198 different goods and services are pri ced. Rents are priced in 33 cities for a varying number of dwellings where wage earners and clerical workers live, depending upon the size of the city,—from 450 In Man chester, N. H., to 2750 In N ew York City. The cost-of-livlng Index is made up by combining a separate Index for each group of expenditures. The food group is derived from such items as cereals and bakery products; meats, fish, and poultry; eggs and dairy pro ducts, fruits and vegetables; fats and oils, sugar and beverages. "Cereals ’ include white flour, macaroni, corn flakes, and corn meal; whereas "fruit and vegetables" Includes apples, ba nanas, oranges, green beans, cabbago carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes,, as well as the canned and dried varieties. Other groups cover clothing, rent, fuel, Electricity, house furnishings. Insurance, and miscellaneous. There is an index for each of the 33 cities covered. Thus, the index is not meant to represent the cost-of-living on farms . I have adjusted this U. S. index to cover the 15% waste which goes into the garbage pail and elsewhere. I, however, have made no allowance for the billions wasted on crime, harmful drugs, etc. The importance of waste cannot be too highly emphasized In computing a cost-of-living Index, particularly In these times. The President, in his proclamation establishing Civilian Defense Week says,—"W e must halt the waste and all unnecessary use of critical materials."—I submit my index below i Ftood . 28.6 Clothing 8 4 Rent 18 0 Fuel, Electricity, and Ice 4 1 House Furnishings 4.2 Miscellaneous 20.7 Insurance .7 Garbage Pall and Other Waste 15.0 TO TAL ( ’« • ( o f Living Continued on Page 3 100.0 Heavy Rains Damage Telephone Lines Here The wind storm that, struck this area Thursday, following on a period of heavy rains, did considerable dam age to West Coast Telephone Co. lines, according to L.

Sherwood, Beaver ton and Tigard At Tigard a total failure was ex perienced for a short time owing to power lines falling on the telephone company’s lead. At Gresham, Mc Minnville and Newberg cables were put out of commission causing a con siderable temporary disruption of traffic. As luck would have It, the com pany’s Installation crew were en gaged In converting the telephone system at the Stafford exchange to modern dial automatic equipment and their work was greatly hampered by the storm. County Automobile Dealers Organize County automobile dealers Wednes day night of last week perfected an organization and elected officers for the Washington County Automobile Dealers' association. H.
