Nation's Economic
Outlook Viewed
Optimistically
Washington, Apr. 5 (U.R)
Government economists said to
day that the decline in unem
ployment since February has en
couraged them to view the
nation's economic outlook more
optimistically.
They said the 561,000 drop In
the jobless total indicates that
industry has rebounded strong
ly from the effects of the recent
coal strike.
Further Decline S.n
As a result, they said, they
looked for unemployment to
continue to decline this month
and in May. They warned, how
ever, that the influx of high
school and college students into
the labor market during the
summer may provide a tempor
ary seasonal jobless problem-
They said that during the sum
mer upswing the unemployment
total may reach a new postwar
high of 5,000,000 workers.
The census bureau reported
yesterday that the unemploy
ment total in March fell to a
new 1950 low of 4,123,000. This
compared with a February total
of 4.684.0P0, the highest jobless
level since the early days of the
war.
Higher Than 1948
Government economists also
were encouraged by unemploy
ment figures which showed that
the number of employed work
ers jumped 598,000 during the
month to 57,551,000.
Although this March total Is
slightly below the 1949 figure,
they said, it is higher than in
1948 when the economy was on
its way toward the establish
ment of a new all-time high as
61,000,000 jobs.

To Coffee Idea
For Saving Money
New Orleans (U.R) With cof
fee selling for 80 cents a pound,
the nation's housewives should
switch to a mixture of coffee and
chicory to save money.
Coffee and chicory also would
be a new taste sensation and an
aid to the family's digestion, they
claim.
Most New Orleans coffee
drinkers long have been en
amoured of the syrupy black
brew. But it pops the eyes and
crinkles the ears of the uniniti
ated. Ground chicory root, grown in
Michigan and Europe, where the
tops are used as a garnish and
the root thrown away, was found
to be a good coffee stretcher dur
ing the Napoleonic wars. Later
a half-and-half blend became the
standard product for French drip
pots in New Orleans.
Sales Boosted
The severe coffee shortage in
1944 doubled the sales of New
Orleans marketers. The W. B.
Reilly company, which is the
world's biggest producer of cof
fee and chicory blends, said most
of the new wartime customers
liked the new taste as well as the
economy.
A Reilly company official said
a pound of the coffee and chic
ory blend will make twice as
many cups as a pound of straight
coffee, if properly prepared.
Since blends sell today from 10
to 15 cents a pound' cheaper than
pure coffee, the saving could run
to better than 50 per cent.
Earl P. Bartlett. president of
the American Coffee company,
said chicory is a good food, be
sides. "Most people don't realize that
chicory is a healthful thing," he
said. "It has good food value.
good sugar content, and medical i
men have attested that it aids
digestion."
New Taste Problem
But the main problem is to get
the customers used to the new
taste.
In the French drip method,
boiling water is poured or
spooned slowly over the coffee
and chicory mix and allowed to
drip through. The result is the
strongest coffee known. But it is
not bitter if properly made.
A favorite New Orleans way to
drink it is "cafe au lait" half
coffee and half hot milk. That is
still stronger than most straight
coffee.
Some hearty advocates use
just a little sugar and a little
cream. The real fiend takes it
black, or with a pinch of sugar.
Northerners usually compare
coffee with their first shot of
thoir first sip of New Orleans
whiskey.
ild West Pioneers'
Living Costs Great
Laramie, Wyo. (U.R)
Wyoming may have been an
"exciting" and "romantic" place
to live in the 1860's but the
pioneers had to pay plenty of
hard cash for plain necessities of
while their hus
bands were out chasing buffalo
or fighting Indians, paid 50 cents
for a cake of soap, $2 for a half
pound of tea or $2 for a two
pound sack of crackers.
Those prices are recorded in
the account books of Judge W.
A. Carter, a trader in the Fort
Bridger area during Civil War
times. The books have been do
nated to the University of Wyom
ing library by Mrs. Harry Hel
zer of Cheyenne.
Champagne Cost
Another bit of information
from Judge Carter's ledgers is
enough to astonish the "Wild
West" moviegoers champagne
could be bought for only $8 a
bottle, not much more than it
costs today.
Other luxuries were avail
able. too. Oysters sold, in thii
territory more than a thousand
miles from the sea, for $2 a can.
Canned peaches retailed at 50
cents a tin.
Bu the soldiers and trappers
of the old west didn't buy much
champagne. The purchases most
frequently recorded were tobac
co, at 75 cents a plug, and pipes,
gloves, moccasins and buckskins,
for $7 each.
Judge Blames Liquor
For Many Divorces
Cleveland, O. (U.R) Liquor
is blamed by a judge here for
some 60 per cent of the divorces
that came up before him during
the past session.
Judge Roy C. Scott listed
liquor as the chief home wreck
er, Shrinkage of war-time in
come, in-law trouble and differ
ences in ages between couples
came next in order.
Judge Scott said, "The heads
of families all too often arrive
home on pay day with little or
nothing left of the paycheck
which had been cashed in a
saloon."
Men are not alone in the ex
cessive drinking category, the
Judge observed. "There are large
numbers of women who land in
divorce court for the same reas
on," he said.
A rattlesnake will die if ex
posed to very hot sunlight for
more than 30 minutes. Death oc
curs generally within 10 to 20
minutes.
