GARY MAKES REPORT ON UNEMPLOYMENT
Progress of Plans For Rem edying Conditions Is
 Outlined

New York, February 7.-Unemploy- ment conditions in New York city and the progress of plans for remedying them were outlined in a report sub mitted today by subcommittees of the mayors committee on unemployment, of which Ebert II. Gary is chairman.
 There was an increase of about 8 per cent in unemployment in Decem. Der, 1914. over the same period In 1913, according to the report. Slightly un der 100000 more persons were without work in New York city in December last year than during the same period In 1913, the committee estimates.
 Up to February 2, figures compiled from l4s,995 families estimated to con tain nearly s50.00O individuals. showed unemployment in 3456O families. a,rone which 42,407 individuals were out of work
 More than s125.00O has been raised as nucleus to be used in financing emergency workshops in various parts or the city. Money also is being raised 10 finance central loan fund fo, use of the poor.

Boy Scouts Help Warriors

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Though the inspiration of the Boy Scout movement is at the opposite pole from the organized indifference to hu- man rights that goes under the name of militarism, their discipline has made their services immensely valuable in time of need. Capt. w. Cecil Price enum- crates the various things they are do- ing to help their country. Among these auxiliary offices are the sentry duty at bridges, water cources. telegraph lines; first aid to the injured the distrbu- tion of messages, including those dropped by airmen; the duties of guides and coast guards; service as spies, in which they have been particularly eff ficient.
 Aristotle called the growing lad an untamable wild animal. The uncor- related, unharnessed activity of youth has often been the despair of teachers. Suddenly the war has imposed grave responsibilities on boys of 12 to IS years of age, and it finds them putting away childish things and making the prompt, alert response expected of ma turity. What has become of so many who were careless, frivolous incorrigi- ply idle? They have stood to their work like men; they have put their souls into the ramifying activity behind the firing line as their lives most serious busi- ness. The playground no longer re- sounds with the shouts, of urchins at their games. but when the war releases them once more to the pursuits that are natural to Europe's forfeited childhood they will have learned the lesson. that shall make them in their time brave and truehearted men.

liott, through 10 years service as presi- dent of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, have made constant and ex- haustive study of wheat farming. Both or these authorities have been persuaded that 1t Is not advisable constantly and exclusively to cultivate wheat in the great wheat belts of the north and northwest but that there should be instead cultiva- tor Of animal meat products and of other food products than wheat
 Nevertheless, they are convinced the the scientific cultivation of wheat should make It possible for the American farm CTS to harvest as many bushels of wheat per acre as the farmers in England have been able to do for many years The Eng hsh farmer, if the weather is fairly fav- orapie, averages about twice as many bushels of wheat peracre as the American wheat farmer does, although the English soil has been in use for more than 1000 years. There is likely to be this year a great increase in acreage, or as great an increase as is possible, for our wheat belt Is not so extensive as are our corn belts So that with favorable weather the farmers may with confidence look for a harvest of approximately 1000, 900 900 bush els of wheat They will find ready mar ket for their wheat. More and more in this financial district there is realization Of the enormity the intensity and the desperate character of the struggle which now covers practically the entire con- tinent of Europe. Even should war be terminated by midsummer of this year there will. nevertheless, be as great a demand for American food and particu- larly wheat, next fall and winter as has been the case since the first of last Sep- tember
