David, my husband, and I are miserable over a serious disagreement about the childrens education, writes Betsey. "He considers me extravagant because my one prayer and hope- for them is that they may have more education and more culture than I ever had. We have good income and we also have almost $100,000 in the Victory bonds his mother left us. "Let me tell you what some of these extravagances are, the letter goes on. "My three younger children, two boys and a girl are in nursery schools that include luncheon and naps. The older girls are in a less expensive private school; they have as extras music, a play club and ballroom dancing. Both go to a Saturday skating club and of course all this Includes incidental expenses of trips and clothing. My plan is to borrow the necessary five or six thousand a year from our savings, restoring it as the children grow older. We were both underprivileged in youth, David and I; he, consequently has been a' passionate student all his life, and I take out my old hunger for advantages in hopes for my children. Do you think I am justified in this plan? Culture for Children I want my children to know cultured people, and have nice friends.

A dancer went to the district at- tomey and complained that she had been criminally assaulted by a certain young man.

However, by the time of the trial, the girl withdrew her accusation and the young man repudiated his statement Thus the only evidence the district attorney bad left was the defendants original confession.

Put them on a dress allowance, and buy them much less expensive clothes. And dont forget that school of all schools, the family dinner table; and that power of all social power, good manners.

What is holding the cost of living up, when the price of basic raw materials has fallen so far since last fall? Commodity prices, at wholesale, have retreated since then about back to their O.P.A. levels, on the average, but the cost of living has dropped back only about of the way. However, the average weekly wage in factories of the way is about back. The recession so far adds up to this: Producers are getting considerably less for many raw materials but not all It costs almost as much to live as it did last year and the workers average pay has been only slightly touched. Roughly, the same factors that retarded the cost of livings pace upward In the months when wholesale commodities were soaring are now acting as a drag as it slips slightly lower.,' Between June, 1948, and January, 1948, wholesale commodities went up at a dizzy pace. The cost of living climbed steadily, but more slowly. Between January and September of last year, commodities as a whole were on the downgrade, but the cost of living still edged upward. Since then the cost of living has receded, but much more slowly than prices have fallen. Rent controls and price absorption by processors and retailers acted as a drag on the cost of living on the upgrade. Braking the decline of the cost of living now are: rents, as high and apparently going higher; the normal time lag between retail and wholesale price changes; continued high labor costs; continued high taxes; and, of course, substantial profits. On June IS, 1948, the index, in which 1928 prices are 100, stood at 120.65. By January IS, 1943, it had reached 207.61.
