CITIES MAY LEARN
FROM SOUTHERN SISTERS

Washington, Nov. 8-Municipal dec
Grafton is one of the many things that
the United States has yet to learn
from her twenty sister American re-
publics, writes United States Consul
General R. NJ Brakeman, of Buenos
Ayres, Argentina, in a report to the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Speaking of Buenos Ayres, he adds
that there is no city from which more
can be learned, not merely in munich
pal decoration alone, but in the way
that private interest is subordinated
to the public welfare, as is shown in
the fact that the commercial element
never demands that squares shall be
utilized as sites for skyscrapers." Mr..
Brakeman comments on the fact that
in the last nine years more than 142,-
900 trees have been planted and there
has been ceaseless activity to make
Buenos Ayres city beautiful.

rock, smeared with fuel oil, this COW

AN END-oF-THE-W0RLD REvEL
Hungarian Peasants, Expecting the
Final cataciysm, INDUCED In the
Widest Kind Of Oebauch.

The scenes of dissipation that have
recently taken place among the Hun
garian peasantry serve to remind one
of the old truism that human nature
has not changed very greatly IN q
thousand years, the London Globe
says. The Magyar laborers were con
vinced that the end of the world was
at hand and took the arrival OF the
comet to be an augury OF the near
approach of the catastrophe. Inc

warned them to prepare themselves
by due penitence and the proper re-
ligtous exercises, but the pleasure
loving flock instead gave themselves
over to rioting and feasting. They
and their priests were soon disillu-
stoned when the appointed day passed
without anything unusual occurring;
but their fright had exactly the same
effects as the universal belief that
the end of the world would come In
the wear 1000. The chroniclers OF
those times tell US that people gave
themselves over to drunkenness and
vice. rather than to religious exer-
cises: the contemplation OF so awful
a catastrophe was apparently too
much for human nerves. At the same
time # had been observed that when
ever a sudden earthquake In tropical
countries has convinced people that
the actual day Of Judgment was
unon them Illicit unions have been
hastily regularized and many son
has found a father who never before
acknowledged him. Such. at least,
has been English experience IN the
East Indies, and the same was mo-
ticed in the great earthquake during
the Venezuelan revolution century
ago. It appears that men must be
convinced that the disaster has &C
tually arrived before they VIII LAY
bare the innermost secrets Of their
hearts.

injured three men and utterly wrecked,
probably beyond repair, a property
valued at quarter of a million dol

the second of it's kind in the history
of the luckless mine, in which twelve
miners lost their lives in an accident
of similar nature in 1902.

loWA'S POPULATION
SHOWS SOME DECREASE

Washington, Nov. THE popula-
ton of the state of Iowa is 2,224.771,
according to the enumeration in the
18th census, made public yesterday.
This is decrease of 1852 or .03 per
cent under 1921 1853 in 1900. The in
crease from 1890 to 1900 was 1852 or
1877 per cent
The decrease in the population OF
Iowa did not surprise census bureau
officials, as it was in line with what
was expected in the agricultural re-
gions of the Middle West Director
Durand attributes the falling on to
the fact that the land is already fully
occupied and general tendency
towards larger farms.

Great Success-Wage Farmers Gen.

OLYMPIA, Nov. State Labor Com
missioner Charles F. Hubbard has com
Melted the preparation of his regular
report to the legislature covering the
activities of his department during the
mast biennial period The labor COM
missioner is charged, among other du-
ties, with the enforcement of the fac
tory inspection law, in which work
four deputy inspectors are constantly
engaged The various laws enacted
for the protection of wage earners are
also under his jurisdiction.
These include the eight-hour law
for public works, the ten-hour law for
females, the child labor law, the law
governing hours of service on street
cars, the steamboat law and others,
Goes Into Labor Conditions.
The last legislature provided for the
appointment of a female assistant to
the commissioner, whose duties as in
spector bring her in constant contact
with establishments throughout the
state where female labor is employed.
Mr.. Hubbard's report reviews the
work of the department in connection
with the enforcement of all the above
laws and incidentally brings out vast
amount of information relative to gen.
eral labor conditions throughout the
state
Wage earners are found to have been
generally employed, at good wages, al
though an Investigation conducted into
the cost of living in Washington leads
to the conclusion that food commodi-
ties have advanced much more rapidly
than wages.
Inspection Law Successful.
During the past decade such staples
as wheat and graham flour, rice, lard,
beans, ham, bacon and fresh meats
have advanced on an average of " per
cent and there is nothing to indicate
that wages have increased proportion
ately. Just at present many of the
mills are closing down leaving an un-
usually large number of men Temporal
rily out of employment.
The factory inspection law is shown
to be successful in protecting the lives
OF factory operatives. Reports from
mills employing a total of 10000 men
show for the past year an average of
S. serious accidents per 1000 en-
ployes and an average of LIS fatal &C.
cidents per 1000 employees.
