A—6 MISSION WILL GIVE YULEBAGS 101,700 Organizations and Citizens “Urged to Provide Gifts for Children. Seventeen hundred underprivileged Washington boys and girls are to be made happy through receiving Christ- mas bags, filled with gifts, under plans of the Central Union Mission. The mission is appealing to Wash- ington citizens to fill the bags for the children. The bags, made from 2,200 yards of cretonne purchased at wholesale, are at the mission, 613 C street. They were made by church organizations, members of women's clubs and indi- viduals. On each is written the name, age and shoe size of the child to receive it, and the person accepting the bag may fill it with the things believed appro- priate for the boy or girl of the age given. The chldren to receive the bags range in age from 2 to 11 years. In years past John S. Bennett, the mission superintendent, said clubs and other organizations each have taken from 1 to 100 of the bags to ill while individuals have taken others. The bags each year have been dis- tributed at a theater party shortly before Christmas. This year's party| will be held at the Capitol Theater, the date to be announced later. The bags, when filled, are to be re- turned to the mission not later than December 21. = - Hospital Group to Meet.

From an index figure of 71.7 on No- vember 18, 1933, wholesale have risen to 82 as of November 14. Both figures are percentages of the price level of 1926, which is figured at 100, Some economists have re- garded the 1926 level as average. Farm Products’ Gain Biggest. ‘The widest gain was registered for farm products, which rose from 58.7 three years to 85.5, due to the elimination of surpluses by crop re- ductions and drought. Foods, meanwhile, increased from 654 to 835, partially reflecting the rise in farm prices. All commodities other than farm products and food increased from 77.5 to 80.8. Other gains were: Hides and leather products, 88.5 to 96.8; fuel and light- ing materials, 745 to 77.4; metals and metal products, 83.5 to 87.1; bullding materials, 84.7 to 87.7; chemicals and drugs, 735 to 81.9; housefurnishing goods, 82.1 to 83.4; miscellaneous, 65.4 to 73.5; textile products declined from 75.8 to 72.4. Increase in All Items, As figured into living costs the de- partment’s statistics covering pur- chases by wage earners and lower salaried workers showed an increase for all items, from 77.2 at the close of 1933 to 82.4 in September of this year. The increases were: Food, 69.4 to 84.3; clothing, 76.2 to 78.6; rent, 63.9 6-DIAMOND mond: cu = ern style! 50c A WEEK BRIDAL ENSEMBLE 2 Both for $3750 ive matehed ling. beautifully in each ring!
