The individual incomes of the American people have doubled and trebled during the last fifty years, since 1900. But in 1950 were we better off than In 19007 Did we live better? In 1900 the cash income of the American farms averaged $350. The farmers of that time had In addition to that amount of cash, the greater part of the family food, produced on the farm, and the family fuel from the wood lot of the farm. The cash Income of the avis fully three erage farm times that of 1900, and the farm still provides the greater portion of the family food, and much of the family fuel. In the matter of clothes, and home furnishings and farm equipment, the cash receipts of today will buy but little, if any more, than did the cash receipts of 1900. The farmer, while he receives more cash, is not much better off than in 1900. More of them own more automobiles. more farm equipment but farm life and farm living is much as it was half a century ago. In 1900 the hourly wage of the average industrial worker was 16 cents per hour, with an average working week of 53 hours in 1900, and only 41.5 each week in 1950.

Those from Mexico City came separately. The adults lived in another camp and learned how to set up villages in their own countries. While the program included outdoor sports of every kind, there were additional activities, such as trips around Cincinnati. For times in the evenings there was television. The Crosley Division, Avco manufacturing corporation, installed sets in the dormitories and lounge. Television proved to be another fascinating facet in this strange new world of America. Only one or two of the children from the foreign countries had seen it before. And in this study of harmony, it was soon learned that Hopalong Cassidy and the Lone Ranger provide a meeting ground in any language. Visitors at the village were quick to pick up one sound laughter. It is possible that this sound, brought on by understanding fostered in future generations by such villages as that one in Cincinnati this summer and those being planned in the future in other countries, can offer a realistic approach to curing some of the world's ills. day's DOWN One who limes races stay-at-ho- about as different every way as any two men could be.

He was alert, dependable and pleasant to deal with. The women, especially, were most enthusiastic about him. Why, Mrs. Preston said, when I called him for my Willie when he had the measles, he worked like a trooper. When Willie didnt do so well at first he actually cried. A doctor. What do you think of that? I know. Mrs. Scott agreed. He cried over my Martha, too. We both cried. Hes sweet. I just love him. You see, at first Doc Boggs was the only physician in town. People called him just because he was there. If they wanted somebody else theyd have to get a man in Bloomdale, thirty miles away. So everybody was mighty glad when young Doctor Willis came to Lin-dato see about locating thre. The business men and the farmers gave him a lot of encouragement. The young married women who were expecting babies welcomed him. In fact, the only person who opposed him in any way was old was le . Doc Boggs. Its a one doctor town, he said when young Doc went to call on him. We don't need or want another one here. Farmer's Fare Improved thing he buys the industrial worker Is better off today than he was half a century ago. The money he receives now buys more at prices than did his wages of 1900 buy at the prices of that day, and in addition he enjoys more of todays conveniences or luxuries. Far more workers families have automobiles, electric or other forms of refrigeration, more telephones, radios, and in sections where it is available, more television. In addition to greater wages, most factory employees are paid for annual vacations of from one to three weeks, are allowed for sick time, have group life insurance, and several millions are assured of industrial pensions after reaching 65 years of age. Both workers and farmers are living better, the homes of both are equipped with more conveniences and what in 1909 were considered luxuries, despite the high prices they must pay for commodities. Electric!! has done much to modernize the homes of both classes. There is another class of Americans who are not as well off as In 1900; whose living standards have been lowered. That class is compsed of those who must live on a fixed income, the thrifty ones who saved for their old age, and whose savings were Invested in securities.

While the cost of living index has grown from .55 in 1900 to 178.4 In 1950, food prices have raised from .59 in 1900 to 215.4 in 1950; pork chops from 119 in 1900 to 715 in 1950. Every item on the food index list has shown a heavy increase. Much of the increase has been the result of political action. Technological improvements in production in industry has offset much of the increased wages and taxes, and prevented what, would have otherwise been much greater increase in prices. But because of the increasing costs, caused by increased wages and taxes, federal, state, county and municipal, manufacturers have had to add to the prices of commodities, and all consumers, including both workers and farmers. have suffered from inflationary prices. When the new federal tax i"rislation is enacted it will mean another increase in taxes to be paid by consumers. While our dollars do not buy as much, by approximately 50 per cent, as they did in 1900, increased income for both farmers and workers have kept pace with inflationary prices, and both are better off now, enjoy a higher standard of living, more conveniences and luxuries than they knew at the beginning of this century strange the way young doc took on when Doc Boggs finally passed on.

ACROSS I A brown last summer after hed been away on his vacation he came back with a wife, a girl from his old home town in Ohio. Jean, that was her name, had such a nice way with her that she soon made friends. When people kept saying over and over that her husband was the sweetest, most tender hearted man In the whole world, she sometimes looked a bit surprised. Sure, she thought he was great. That was one reason she married him, but nevertheless she felt a bit puzzled at times. And then that she found out something nobody else knew. She kept still and just smiled when they began to rave about her husband. She smiled and went about her business of picking up after him. keeping him well fed and mended and not really minding the times when he was thoughtless and inconsiderate as all husbands are at times. The way she found out was that one night he came home to dinner quite late and dog tired, too. When she looked at him she saw that his eyes were red. Dont tell me youve been crying? she said. Crying? Me he laughed. What ever gave you that Idea? "Your eyes. They look like it." It's those flowers . . . roses. Why is it people alwsys send roses to the sick?

Sportsmen who thought they knew all about wild geese scoffed at the idea that the goslings could be raised without a natural mother and made a bet of a bottle of Scotch that the goslings would not live six weeks. The bet was accepted and Mr. Hole began a career that even now is in its infancy. Alfred erected a pen on a spot where there was plenty of luscious grass and the raising of the fledgling family started. The first diet was rolled oats and green stuffs hand fed. But, it was not the fun looking after them that Alfred anticipated. It transpired, goslings get mighty hungry around 3:30 in the morning and the foster mother" had to rise at that time to do his chore. The babies thrived and survived the difficult six weeks and the bet was paid. Immediately there was another wager that the goslings would not be alive in six weeks and this bet was duly paid. In the late summer the young geese, now strpng and healthy, made attempts to fly and their keeper clipped their wings. Otherwise they were not confined and had the run of the grounds and neighboring water. The geese were kept in this way for two years. The third year they were given full freedom and were soon winging it around the country. In the fall of the third year they "honked a farewell and took off for their winter home in the south. AAA Drift Cards Several thousand postcards, each sealed in a plastic container, will be dropped Into the Gulf of Mexico by United States naval aircraft during 1951 to trace complex gulf currents as well as the distribution and migrations of commercial fishery stocks, including shrimp, the United States department of the interior announces. This project is sponsored by the fish and wildlife service of the deof partment, with the the Gulf States marine fisheries commission, the Texas game fish and oyster commission, the department of oceanography of Texas A&M college, and the navy department's office of naval research. The postcards are expected to drift about in the gulf currents, and to be cast up eventually on beaches, where many of them will be found and returned to the Gulf States marine fisheries commission at New Orleans, La. Then they will be routed to scientists who will deduce from the returns the paths which the cards must have followed in the sea.

But please dont forget that Savold is no Charles. Savold has been rusting for three years. Charles has been almost as busy as Joe has been. And Charles is still much younger and faster than either. So you dont think this fight has proved anything?" I asked. Yes, It has, Goodtime Charlie said. It has proved that Louis has improved, no matter how bad Savold looked.

As stupid and as d as the deal was, it didnt slip the pennant to Brooklyn. With seven members already set for any National League squad, Chuck Dressen had little to worry about winning a pennant. His N.L. are Campanella, Roe, Newcombe, Hodges, Robinson, Reese and Snider, Against this array of talent, one of the best National League teams in history, Brooklyn faced a league with no particular consistent strength. For example, there was one first-claballplayer on the Cubs, above the average. His name was Andy Pafko. So he was traded. There were two good ballplayers on the Pittsburgh team Kiner and Westlake. Westlake was traded away, leaving Pittsburgh with but one good ballplayer. If Brooklyn doesnt win the N.L. pennant by 20 games It will be dne to a long run of sleeping sickness, er because Dressens tender heart hat s feeling for suffering souls. No wonder the Cubs are getting to be perennial battlers. They either keep in their favorite home, the cellar, or they give someone else a sturdy battle for this with Cub-Dodg- one-side- All-St- All-Sta- ss last-plac- e eighth-plac- e spot Pafko was just about worth the rest of the Cub squad.

That first dog was little more than a tamed wolf. He found the scent trail left by the quarry and followed it, baying all the while. His master followed until the hound had put the game up a tree or driven it into a den. It was then up to the man to get his meat, although the dog was often In at the kill. As the centuries went by, man saved the best of his hunting dogs for breeding purposes, destroying all those that failed to meet the standards of the hunt. In this way, man was unwittingly practicing selective breeding, aimed at producing a better dog with a superior nose, greater stamina, courage and tenacity on the traiL Pursuit of different kinds of game required widely varying abilities. It was the search for different hunting abilities that led to the development of the many breeds all known as hounds. The slim, stately Greyhound, the Irish Wolfhound, and the elegant Borzoi are all hounds. So are the little Beagles, the Shorter Bassets and the shortest Dachshunds. The slow moving Bloodhound and the speedy Walker are merely cousins, many times removed. In the big family of hounds. long-legge- long-eare- TOTO ANCHOR WINDOW BOX ON SILL SO ITS REMOVE.
