By April. 1039. the family's monthly outgoes had fallen to $135.11; meanwhile its pay check had climbed to $142.62. A month's supply of food for a family of four, obtainable for $30 at 1933 prices, cost $38.67 for the same items in April 1937; $35.88 in April of 1938, and $34.61 in April of this year. Though the long decline in living costs leveled off in April, the report states, wholesale food prices again dropped sharply the third week in May. Average Wages Else. Average wages per worker In February, 1939, were actually above February of 1937, the study shows'. From January through April of 1937, however, the spurt in wages was spectacularly swift, the report recalls. The rise since last October has been gradual, and with the dip in April, has not kept pace with the 1937 spring pay roll expansion, which reached Its peak In May of that year. Living costs spurted upward In early 1937 also, however; In 1939 they have actually worked lower.
