By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 30.—Down the old air lane he took 20 years ago to write & new pege in the history of aviation, Glenn H. Curtiss yesterday flew from Albany to New York. At the controls of @ glant, twin-mo- tored transport plane he retraced his flight of May 29, 1910, from the capital city to Governors Island in New York Harbor in almost exactly half the time it took him 20 years ago. Then he flew the 137 miles in 152 minutes. Yesterday the time was 80 minutes. In 1910 he flew alone, sitting on the front of a box kite plane that few avia- tors of today would risk their lives in. Yesterday he carried with him 12 pas- sengers and a co-pilot, Capt. Frank Courtney of transatlantic fame. Three accompanying planes carried 30 more persons. 2 Enjoys Trip Immensely. Mr. Curtiss had little to say at Cur- tiss Field, Valley Stream, where the big transport landed after circling the old objective—Governors Island—but he did say that he enjoyed the trip im- mensely. “I learned Storm King was_still there,” he said smiling, “the place I first Jearned that air went up and down as well as sideways.” ; He referred to Storm King Mountain, below Poughkeepsie, where he struck rough air on his first trip and again yesterday. Towering cliffs on either side of the river cause freak currents, which make even the massive ships of today bounce around a bit. Guests at Luncheon. Mr. Curtiss and his party, most of whom had flown from New York City in the morning, were guests of the Al- bany Chamber of Commerce at a lunch- eon there before retracing the historic flight to New York. Among those making the flight were Don_ Seitz, manager of the New York World 20 years ago and the man who g‘l! Curtiss a $10,00 prize check; Frank , president of the Aeronautical Chember of Commerce, which sponsored yesterday's flight; Jacob J. Ten Eyck, official starter of the flight 20 years ago and yesterday taking his first ride in an airplane; Mayor John Boyd Thatch- er, 2d, of Albany, August 8.

The Weltare Counctl of New York City nounced recently that “comfortable d independent living" in_Manhatta: cost the working girl $25 weekly. this being the minimum. In the borough of Brooklyn the figure is put at $24. Fol- lowing " are "budsets furnished by other cities: It can be done in Philadelphia for $21 a week, this business of room rent, three meals a day, frocks, doctors’ bills and even an occasional movie thrown in | for the working girl. The Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation sets this figure as the very least on which she can live in the third largest city in the United States Thousands of budgets have been dis- tributed by the Y. W. C. A. They give the following _figures: $3.50, room; $10.00, food: $3.85. clothing: $1.25. car fere. telephone, postage; $2.40, recre- ation, savings, church, charity, medi- cine, physicians, dentists, vacation, cos- metics In neatly typed alignment at the bottom of each budget are a few words that mean a lot, “Will do her own laundry.” Laundry, always expensive, is not listed, so” the working girl who would look neat—and she won't hold her job | long if she doesn’'t—must wash her own stockings, underwear and light Summer dresses Food Ts Important Item. Miss Mirlam Gerlach, secretary of business and professional department of the Philadelphia Y. W. C. A, who com- piled this minimum budget, says the $10 for food is “the most important item.” The menu includes, for breakfast, fruit, coffee and rolls, a luncheon of soup, roll and milk or salad, roll and milk, and for dinner a_main dish of high' protein value, such as meat or eggs, one starchy vegetable and one without starch Miss Gerlach has worked out the ex- penditures for clothing and other things which come under this_heading in the budget as follows: $30, Winter coat; $3, sweater for wear under coat on cold days; $12, two pairs shoes: two dresses; $6, two Winter hats; $10, hose; $12, underwear; $3, umbrella; $3, galoshes; 50 cents, rubbers: $4, rain- coat; $15, Spring coat or suit; $5, two hats; $10, two pairs shoes: $30, two dresses; $8, one wash Summer dress or a total of $181.50 for clothes. | this $10 for cleaning, $1.80 for soap and $2 for tooth paste, for a total of $195.30 for clothes budget. ‘Two dollars and 40 cents a week does not leave much for recreation, savings, church, charity, physicians, dentists and vacation. But it can be done, says Miss Gerlach. A survey of 100 girls earning $10 to | $16 a week was taken recently by Miss | Margaret Hamilton. Young Women's Christian Association. These girls are employed as beauty parlor operators, laundry workers, card inspectors, wait- resses, clerks, telephone operators and | filing ‘clerks. In conference with Miss Bernice Frederick, who for 20 years has worked with the Y girls arranging budgets and living expenditures, the following budget was suggested as one that approximates expenditures in Kansas City. ‘The girl wholly seif-supporting on $15 |a week spends her money as follows: Board and room, $7; transportation, $1; recreation, 50 cents; education, $1; health, 50 cents: clothing, $4; miscel laneous savings, $1, for a total of $15. - The girls who earn only $10 make up about one-fifth of the self-supperting girls in Kansas City. If the girl is ill she becomes a charity patient in a hospital. More than a few girls live in Los Angeles on $16 a week. This is estab- lished by the Industrial Welfare Com- mission of California. Figured on a yearly basis, the allow- ance is $573 for room and board, $142.30 for clothing and $121 for sundries, making the total expenditure for the year $836.30, or the total for each week The girl lives either with two other girls or in a home run under the aus- pices of the Y. W. C. A. or a similar organization. Her room and board fcr F St. at Twelfth Proving Your Vacaiion Oulfit may be as Add to | and about $1 a week for car fare. What left is applied on payments for cloth- ng. The girl can buy one dress a year for $2250 or two of & cheaper variety, shoes can be had for $6 a pair and the yearly allotment is three pairs, stockings of imitation silk are possible at 50 cents a_pair, at which rate the wearer can afford 10 pairs a year: she may have three hats at $5 each, a coat at a sale price, $17.50; a suit for the year, also at sale price, around $15: $18 for under- wear and nightwear, $7.50 a year for | cosmetics and $11.85 for such acces- |sories as gloves, handkerchiefs, um- brella and rubbers. And in addition the girl is able to put aside a little at a time so that when vacation time rolls |around she has about $25. On & minimum of $20 a week a girl or in ene of the 51 co-operative Eleanor or Y. W. C. A. clubs may be self-sup- porting.

W. C. A. Through the Chicago Girl. a Y. W. C. A. magazine, girls have been in- structed how to budget. Mrs. Nena Wil- son Badenoch outlined the following budget, for the $20-a-week salary: Fixed expenses—Room rent and two meals (living in a club), $8.25: lunches, $1.30: car fare, $1.20; total, $10.75. Flexible expenses—Laundry and dry cleaning, 60 cents; clothing, $5: oper- ating (cosmetics, incidental supplies), 35 cents; doctor and dentist, 50 cents church, 20 cents; gifts, 20 cents: edu- cation and fun, 75 cents; margin for the unexpected, 50 cents; total, $8. ;?vlm(s for her heart's desire, $1; total, Y. W. C. A. officials estimate that a girl ‘ought to have at least $15 a week to get by in Boston and that she needs $20 to live comfortably. The cost of living for a girl is lower in Boston than in New York. Girls from New York who come here to work and who live at the Y. W. C. A. say so, and they ought to know.

Miss Mary Thompson, presi- dent of the Women's Trade Union League, feels that it is impossible to live on less than $15 a week, and this, according to Miss Thompson, would be mere existence. The league budget allows for a heated room, $4 to $6: board. $7 to $10; car fare, $1.20; insurance, 50 cents; doctors, dentists and medicine, 50 cents: laundry in Summer, $1.50: in Winter, 50 cents: clothing, $2.20 to $3: church and de- velopment, 25 cents; papers, magazines, etc., 30 cents; personal appearance, hair waves, etc., $1.50, and sundries, 30 cent This is above the “absolute minimum" | set by Mrs. Hosley. Miss Atlanta must earn $80 a month | minimum to keep the wolf from her | door. Miss Louise Cockrell, woman's per- sonnel director of the Atlanta Retall Credit Co., and Miss Mary Wylie Jones, secretary of the division of information on colieges of the Georgia College placement_office, are authority for this. Thirty-five dollars is set aside for board and room, $6.50 for lunches, $4 | for car fares, $20 for clothing, $2 for picture shows and other entertainment, $1.50 for beauty treatments, including cosmetics, hair dressing, etc.; $2 for cleaning clothing. | The Winter coat can be bought for $50 and three Winter dresses are set up | in the budget at $45, shoes can be bought for from $6 to $10, three Sum- mer dresses cost $45. This tentative budget contemplates | that the whole wardrcbe shall not be | replenished each year, but that there shall be some holdovers. A Spring coat | is not_ included. If three pairs of shoes are purchased Winter coat Is bought and the half- dozen dresses at $15 each, there will still be left $64 out of the $240 budget for clothing.
