AND YOU 1 2 1 collects stamps on his day off. By J. M.

Howell Claims Husband Forced Her To Confess Killing him from the type of emotional lem of providing any sort of ade display over the "cold war" which quate diet. thing like potted meat, and an eight ounce "milkshake" which seems to be made from powdered milk, or a bun and coffee for 30 cents. These are the places where urban workers get the "away from home" meal which is absolutely essential if their price-fixed and rationed home supplies are to stretch for their allotted periods. In industrial districts the "away from home" meal is supplied by government restaurants at 30 cents and is described by Americans as the lowest forms of food. At home the workers live, to state it loosely, on bread, potatoes and fish.

A family of four may do it for $1.50 a day, due to price controls. Blackmarket eggs are $1.60 a dozen. That's about the only way to get them except by personal im are widely accustomed as an appetizer; filet of sole; fried potatoes and green peas, just like an American luncheon plate; and col-fee and dessert. I often eat the same meal in Rockfeller center for from 95 cents to $1.25. The check here was about $4.

per person. The price on the entrees was about the its at home. But bread and butter, napkins and the tablecloth were extra. Very extra. Dinner at a similar place that night, with hog shoulder (not ham by any meansX instead of fish, cost the same price for three persons instead of four.

Near the office there is a milk 18 cents each. There is almost no meat, and the price sends such as there is to the high-priced restaurants. Even when thei-e is meat or etigs to meet the ration, working people don't buy their limit, their $25 to $30 a week would not even cover the bare essentials if it were not for price subsidies on them. They live and work hard but they appear a little tired, without the extra "drive" they really need for empire rebuilding, much less for enthusiasms or hatreds which are the least bit removed from their dailv lives. They probably are doing just barely that, but from what I hear there is a grave doubt whether they are doing much more than is required for minimum health.

There are "eating levels" in Britain which can be noticed by the casual observer. At lunch the other day at a good but by no means ritzy restaurant, four of us had dry martinis; the normal little bits of olive, herring. is common in the United States. It is not so much that. John Bull Is less worried over Russia but that he is more worried over eating.

There are other factors, too, as I mentioned yesterday. But. ever since I have been here, with the exception of a few days when they were diverted by the cigarette shortage which is actually a part of the same problem of living, the one subject which begins and ends most conversations is food.
