Food Expenditure Home Loan Review Article Says. Expenditures for’ shelter run a close second to food for the largest share of the average American family’s income. ‘This is shown by an article, “How Families Spend Théir Incomes,” in the current issue of the: Federal The ar-

Expenditures for clothing of 89 per cent, and for automobiles of 6.4 per cent were the next largest items.” The study should be of unusual value to home-financing institutions other business ‘enterprises, the view declares, by providing them with a detailed: analysis of inmes, expenditures and the pat1 of savings for a. community roughly comparable in size and location to their own. cities. “The savings curve stands out in a striking manner,” the article says. “Starting with average savings of $5 (a bare per cent of income) in the $1250 to $1500 group of families and single individuals, the proportion saved increases rapidly ‘to nearly 6 per cent ($107) in the $1750 to $2000 class, and to 16 per
