How Facts Were Gathered.

Mr.. Mckinney In a later interview with
THE StN tells how his statistics were
gathered and what they mean. He said
''As YOU know we have been gather
ing statistics regarding Help Wanted
and Situations Wanted advertisements
in the daily papers OF twenty-eight cities
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Missouri
River These figures are for the first
week of March, 1918, and tho first week Of
March. 1914.
"our experience has been tina. Help
Wanted advertisements are the most re-
liable barometer as to the conditions OF
trade that q Is possible to get. They are
much more "elable than Situations
Wanted advertisements. for the reason
that when business is good manufacturers
and others desire more help and adver-
tise FOR IL In the Help Wanted columns
situations Wanted are less reliable be-
cause. when In any city certain line
OF trade ls dull and worknien are thrown
out of employment. they know that there
IL nothing to be gained by advertising for
a situation in that line of trade. and "a
/ rule they do not seek employment In
other lines. 40 that In duh times Help
Wanted advertisements decrease much
more rapidly than situations Wanted
advertisements increase.
In the twenty-eght cities the result
OF our investigation shows that during
the first week of March 1914. the Helm
Wanted advertisements fell of 2?.1S per
cent. from the number OF similar adver-
tisements In the same papers the first
week OF March. 1918. while Situations
Wanted increased SO per cent In the
frs, week OF March, 1914. as against the
first week OF March. 1913.
Baltimore showed a loss Of 81 pei
cent In Help Wanted advertisements ant
a loss OF II per cent. In situations
Wanted advertisements Boston showed
a loss of 20 per cent in Help Wanted
advertisements and q loss Of less than
per cent. In Situations Wanted adver'
t,sements. Cincinnati showed loss o.
80 per cent. in Help Wanted advertise
ments and a gain OF 81 per cent. in stu
atoms Wanted advertisements.
