00 Clothing _ 1. 00 Kent _ — 1. 13 $6. 38 Nine-tenths of this sum will figure, for a woman, at a living expense per week of $5. 74 in January, 1918. Of course this is an estimate for bare subsistence. Room at $1 per week, food at less than 40 cents daily, do not mean any luxuries. The miscellaneous item, about 13 cents a day, would barely cover car fare. A pair of shoes would use the entire clothing appropriation for several weeks. Moreover, we must remember that prices have risen since January..., 1918, so that this budget would certainly not cover the living needs of a worker today. *P. 4. "Wartime Chances in the Cost of Living. " National Industrial Conference Board, August, 1918. 38 Charity Standards. Two charitable organizations in New Orleans have worked out subsistence standards for the family of five, and for a widow with children. These standards are used in determining the need for charity assistance. One of these organizations stated that before the war its family standard was $16 per week, and that the war has raised this 40 per cent, making a present standard of $21 weekly.
