Congress Must Consider
Unemployment Problem

The average for the twelve western
cities investigated was 20.2 per cent
The Bureau of La0or Statistics
commissioned the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company to conduct this
inquiry. This company made the
survey of unemployment i'm New
York City in January, 1915, and its
work was checked up by an indie
pendent investigation made by the
government Labor Department. and
IL was found TO be 80 accurate that
IL was decided to commission the
company to make this western in
vestigaticn. The people visited
were families holding industrial
policies In the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company, and the visiting
was done by the agents Of the COM
pany. This limitation Of the list TO
policy holders makes the results OF
the inquiry conservative rather than
otherwise. The fact that laboring
man carries a policy indicates that
he Is rather above the average in
thrift. There are thousands who do
not carry policies and woiild not be
on the visiting list OF any insurance
company and these are not taken
into account in the totals OF this
inquiry. Probably. therefore. the
real percentage OF unemployment. is
greater than these figures indicate.
These figures indicate that the
condition Of UNEMPLOYMENT is
chronic one. having little to do with
the prosperity or otherwise of the
country. The summer Is the time
OF largest development, and the in

Gasoline Takes Fearful
DeathTOll in Michigan

An advertisement is appearing In
many newspapers throughout Michigan
which advises housewives to save money
by doing their own dry cleaning, this to
be accomplished by adding a certain in
gredient to two gallons of gasoline,
placing both in wash boiler or dishpan
to complete the cleaning outfit.
So alarmed is John T. Winship, state
of insurance, by this ad-
vertisement that he has written letters
to the Michigan newspapers urging them
to warn the women of the state against
this mixture, fearing that it may be the
cause of many terrible deaths. He says
that there is no danger in combining this
particular chemical with gasoline, but 1t
MUST be done in the open air; further
more that the majority of women have
no conception of the danger of gasoline
inside the home. Since the beginning OF
last year twenty women and children
have been killed by the careless use
of this explosive material.

Besure to Wish Right
~ q. AppiNcToN sRUcE,
Author Of The Riddle Of Personality.
Psychology and Parenthood." etc

u. n aver occurred to you that wishing is
one OF the most important things in the world!
II il so important that wish Is back OF every
act that YOU or or anybody else ever has done
or ever win do.
This is something frequently overlooked even
by peopleAsuch as parents. teachers, ana
preachers--who make II their special business
10 direct human conduct They often forget that
IDEAS no matter how wholesome and true they
NAV he. are without dynamic force until those
TO whom they are impaired desire to act on
them. .
consequently the great thing In education Is
not so much the training OF the reason as tne
training of the will. You must teach child
how 10 will well-how to wish right-before
YOU can expect him to profit from intellectual
instruction.
For il you omit the preliminary training Of
the will he is altogether likely to be dominated
development.
| He may wish to idle in the fields all day
instead OF wishing to go to school IL, then,
| you force him to go to school, shove TEXTBOOKS
| into his hands and compel him to read them.
you need not be surprised IL you fail to make
| good scholar OF him.
That can be done only by contriving to sub
stitute wish to study in place II the wish to
loaf
| Once you have succeeded in doing this, once
you have inspired In him sufficiently strong
| desire for knowledge, he win study eagerly
enough and will profit from his studies as he
would not otherwise do.
1t IL the same at every period OF life. The
i man who leads honest upright life Is simply
la man who has learned to wish right. The
terminal on the opposite, Is man who has
never learned this. and has habitually wished
wrong. His wishing Is shortsghted, selfish,
anti-social
To put the matter picturesquely In the
language Of eminent European moralist:
What are the springs that cause us to act
II They are the sentiments and nothing but the
sentiments Whatever we may do. we always
act under the dominion Of sentiment good or
bad, strong or weak durable fleeing
1.-THE sentiments are reducible TO two In mum
tber-desire and fear.@The former urges man
forward and inctes him to seek that which he
desires. The latter holds him back. and makes
him recoil from that which he fears.
i II go further. and say that man has never had
but a single motive Of action--desire whether
liz be a positive desire that something happen
Tor q negative desire that something do not hap
lpen.

always find this single spring setting in motion

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-That
unemployment is a problem which
congress must seriously consider.
is set out clearly in the results made
public today OF an investigation
made by the Bureau OF Labor Sta
tistics OF the u. S. Department OF
Labor.
A third of the workers In the
Pacific Coast and mountain cities
are out of work. Some have no
work at all. while others are on
part time. In San Diego in June
and July. 1872 per cent of the city's
workers were on part time. while
1877 per. cent had no work at all.
Unemployment was worse in the
cities than in the country and worse
in the larger cities.
The inquiry covered the cities OF
Butte. Los Angeles. Oakland. Og.
den, Portland, Sacramento. Salt
Lake City, San Diego, San Francis
CO, Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma.
The Department did not attempt
to canvass every worker in these
cities. but enough were canvassed
in each city to be sure OF the pro-
portion. A total OF 3s,537 families
were personals visited. in which
there were found TO be 1880 wage
earners. or these, IL was found
that 6,373 were wholly unemployed.
while 1911 were working on part
time. The total unemployed were
1919 Ter cent OF the total number
OF wage earners visited, while the
part time workers were 20.2 per
cent. Taking the unemployed and
the part time unemployed together,
II is found that 1871 per cent or one
third OF all the workers were a. the
time OF the investigation June and
July, 1879 either out OF work or
earning only part pay
The highest percentage OF I'M
employment was found In Portland.
Oregon. where 20 per cent OF the
wage earners were out OF work.
and 17.3 per cent we're working part
time only. The lowest percentage
was found in Ogden, Utah. where
only IS per cent were unemployed
and 14.3 per cent working part
time. The cities showing the larg-
est percentages OF part time work
ers were: San Diego, 29.2; Oak
land 26.s; San Francisco, 25.4; Los
Angeles PAL. Sacramento. 23.7.

An Engineers War.

This is the first great war In
which the striking advances of sci.
entiic knowledge that have marked
the closing years Of the nineteenth
century and the opening years OF
the twentieth century have been al
lowed full play. The Napoleonic
struggle occurred when science was
in its infancy. The great European
wars OF 1S66-ls6S and 1901 were
fought out before the mos. notable
discoveries of modern science had
been made or had received practi-
cal application. and the smaller
wars that have occurred during the
past 25 years have not been sum-
GENTLY important to draw out all the
resources Of men OF science and en-
gineers.-Fortnightly Review.
