LIVING COSTS WILL GO LOWER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, labor statistics prepares monthly j average figures for certain cities, und the agriculture department j also secures data. But figures thus obtained were said to be at best “u rough sample," subject to many qualifications. The federal farm board some (time ago warned the public prices of meats and bread were not In Rite with wholesal 1 figures. Since then, prices have dropped further, i hut recently the dairy advisory committee charged that dairy products were selling too high in retail stores. , It is virtually impossible to make accurate comparisons between retail food prices in different cities owing to varying trade practices. Some cities, for instance, call sirloin steak porterhouse. Some include delivery charges in their ' prices, and freight costs also acIcount for some apparent discrepI ancles. The average price of sirloin , steak on December 15 was 44 cents la pound in Atlanta, 38 cents in i Baltimore, 66 cents (porterhouse)) in Boston and 48 cents in Chicago.) Reports that eggs are selling for ' 12 cents a dosen in Kansas and ] 56 cents in Boston were explained by the fact the Kansas price is the farm price. Officials said, generally speak- ■ ing. retail prices are on a level I throughout the nation when allowance is made for different grades and freight costs. Suffering for I 'ack of food in some cities was said to be due entirely to inability of people to buy, not any lack of- - Retail prices always liv behind wholesale, both on a rise and on a decline, officials said. They added, however, that competition in this field assures that prices never will remain far out of line for an extended time. b Get the Habit—Trade at Home

The suit hadn't co Tie up yet, so the wellknown society divorcee took an overdose of poisonous drugs, endured terrible agony for six hours and died in New York City. — PROMISE OF RAIN FOR MID-WEST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) being made (oday (o send home 600 blind boys and girls because the water supply at the institution they attend was almost exhausted. In several districts of Kentucky, water was sold by the barrel and at Marion, 111., all residents were asked to conserve water by not washing their automobiles. In several small towns, residents were urged not to take baths except of the "sponge" variety. A southern Illinois Catholic archbishop. J. T. McNichols .ordered dailv prayers ' for rain in all his churches. | The water shortage in most a ,- a was due in part to this winter's

drought and In part to t o big drought of 1930. A combination of extreme lack of precipitation and extremely mild ' weather has increased the seriousness of the situation. Th forecasts today were foi slightlv cooler weather in the midwest. Wil ming up again by Sunday. In the ensi, snow or rain was pre- , dieted by Saturday. Warms' weather was forecast for I lie south, with rain probable.
