SOLUTION OF LABOR PROBLEM
Plan Suggested Requires Establish
ment Of National Unit Of Value
for Work.

II should be beyond the power Of
either party (that is, labor and capt.
tall to fi1e the wages for any specified
class of work. AS before suggested, 1t
is q matter to be determined imper-
sonally and automatically, and this
only can be done by the establishment
of national unit of value for labor,
upon which all wages shall be COM
puted with the same universally Of
application as now inheres in the es-
tablished tables of weights and meas
ures. Necessarily, such . unit Of
value for labor must be not only .
fixed entity in relation to rates of
wages, but must at the same time be
susceptible Of accommodation to eco
nomic changes, SO that the money
value Of wages shall keep pace with
fluctuations in the cost Of living. 1t
follows, therefore, that the unit upon
which the federally established table
of wages shah be built must be chosen
with respect to some commodity that
is 30 universally used and of so far.

Earliest 9pectac,es.

The ancient Guild of Spectacle Ma
kers. which is incensed at a recent
London County Council leaflet, is
numerically one Of the strongest Of
the city companies. It's charter dates
from the year 1929 and, though the ex-
act date Of its origin is lost, there is
ample evidence that the calling Of
spectacle maker was extensively fol-
lowed a& . very early date. An old
book Of 1863 mentions the spectacle
makers among other trades, and the
biography Of Carlo Zeno, an illustrious
Venetian, who died in 141a. mentions
that even at the age Of eighty-four he
needed no artificial aids to his sight.
- presumably spectacles were COM

How to Avoid Cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris, in 1882, a notice
was issued advising the inhabitants
ITO avoid, as far as possible, all occa-
sion Of melancholy and all painful
emotions. and to seek plenty of dis
fractions and amusements. Those with
a bright and happy temperament are
not likely to be stricken down." This
advice was largely followed, and even
when cholera was claiming over q
thousand weekly victims. the theaters
and cafes were thronged. The cpl
demic was in some quarters treated
as huge joke. and plays and songs
were written round 1t. Rochefort, the
