ENGLISH WORKING GLASS PROSPEROUS
Collapse of Jeremiahs Re
 markable Feature of War
RATE OF EMPLOYMENT
Percentage for Entire Year Was II, While in November It Was Only 6, the Lowest on Record.
 Food Prices Are Up

London, February 6.-(Special.)-One of the most remarkable features of the war so far at least as England is concerned has been the collapse of the jeremiahs. During the days of strain before the declaration of hostilities- and during the first few weeks of the war the peace at any price men and a few honest political economists went about declaring that in a few days more than half of England would be starving that thou sands of unemployed would be parading the streets, and that the army would be too busy suppressing food riots to do much harm to the Germans.
 Now, after nearly g. year and half of war, all this has been falsified. The annual report of the labor department of the Board of Trade for 1915, which has sust been issued shows irrefutably that so far as the working class is con cerned England has never been more prosperous than she is at present.
 The best test of tile working class prog perlty in any country is the state of employment and in this respect 1915 has been record year. The mean annual percentage of unemployment for the whole year was only Il while in Novem- her and December it sank to 6. This is the lowest figure ever recorded by the department The best previous fig ure was 2.1 in the boom year of 1914 At the outbreak of the war in August 1914 there was, of course, a great tenn porary dislocation of industry. The per- centage of unemployment, which was 2.S in July, rose to Il in August, but fell to 69 in September. IA in October, and 2.9 ir November, and it has been steadily fs Hing ever since By this time it is fair to assume that no man who wants job need go without one in England.
 This trade prosperity, of course, has led to an increase in wages. The total num- Der of work people who are reported as ! having received increased wages or war bonuses is 3,165, 900 and the total amount Of increase was over $9,015,0O0 a week or an average of nearly S1 a week.
 Against these increases in wages and greater opportunities of employment there have been heavy increases in the price of food The wholesale prices of the principal articles of food are now higher than at any time since 1S14. Taking the year 1900 as the norma lyear and the in dex number for that year as 100 the rrice for 1915 was 14S.S and that for 1874

A Stenographer's Success

Tn the March American Magazine is the story of Miss Helen Tyler, erstwhile stenographer, whose s'nose'f for success full plays has made her a producer, earn ing millions for her stockholders
 Some years ago she went to work for the publishing firm of Dodp Mead and company Her work brought her into con- tact with many novelists and play wrights. Soon she got job with the play -broking firm of Alice Kauser.
 Ut was the Selywns production of Bayard Veiller's Within the Law the greatest popular theatrical success of the last 20 years, that first bfought Miss Tyler into the limelight.

;.9 The lowest year on record was

169. The lowest year on record was 1896 when the price was SS.2.
 The average retail price of the prin- cipal articles of food i'll July, 1915, we compared with the previous July had in- creased 40 per cent. The biggest increase was in eggs which had gone up 10 per cent, and the smallest in margarine, which had increased only per cent. The orly article of food that had de- cl1ned in price was potatoes, which had fallen 10 per cent
 On the whole though, in lspite of these higher prices, the British workman is much more prosperous than he ever was before There is work for him and forr evey m nember of his family every day of the week, all the year round, and if prices of food are higher There is more 1loney coming in to buy 1t with.

POLITICAL RIVALRIES FURNISH FUN FOR
 BIG GRIDIRON DINNER IN WASHINGTON

Washington February 26-To the tune full melodies of the operetta "Orpheus and Eurydice," the guests of the Grid iron club, at the dinner this evening at the New Willard, descended into hades and came back to earth again to witness, among other things, the start to the Chicago and St. Louis conventions of the prospective candidates for presidential honors.
 President Wilson, Vice President Mar shall, Ambassador de Cana, the minis ter from Bolivia; the Chinese minister, cabinet officers, senators, representatives in Congress, leaders in finance, distin- guished army and navy officers, and men prominent in all walks of life, were there.
 INNINGS WITH T. R.
 President Strayer welcomed the guests. The Grdiron quartette sang There's Mu- sic in the Air" The Gridiron flashed and the fun was on.
 Hardly had the diners finished the oysters when a member of the club arose and said: MT. President. the hour for the inauguration of a president having arrived, l desire that the ceremonies will begin with parade befitting these days of Jeffersonian simplicity" The Marine band struck up and the whole club marched into the room
 "Who is being inaugurated?" was asked.

 Has he received the indorsement of Colonel Roosevelt?"
 AS far as I know, the colonel has not indorsed anybody for anything except Charles E. Hughes, who won't take it, and Herbert s. Hadley, who can't get it."

 "Oh, this is the inauguration of a pres ident of the Gridiron club, not President of the United States"
 Nevertheless, the colonel should have been consulted
 After the singing of Resolutions Let Us Frame, a member entered and said: T have been talking by wireless with the colonel at Bermuda. I asked him if he indorsed the selection of a president of the Gridiron club.
 What did the colonel say?"

 A convict in French penal colony who was serving a life sentence there, desired to marry one of the women con- victs, and made application to the au- thorities for the necessary permission. The governor of the colony offered no objection, but the priest proceeded to cross-examine the prisoner.
 Did you marry in France?" Yes"
 And is your wife dead?'' She is. Have you any document to show that she is dead?" "No.' "Then I must decline to marry you. You must produce some proof that your wife is dead" There was a pause, and the bride-pros pective looked at the would-be bride groom Finally he said; T can prove that my former wife is dead' | "IIow will you do so.

William Barnes and George w. Perkins of New York. Through the St. Louis gate passed Secretary McAdoo Post master General Burleson. Charles B. Murphy of New York and William Jen- nings Bryan.
 The first passenger to reach the Chi cago train was recognized by one of the two gatemen as Senator Burton. Nervous and fused, he inquired if he were too late and appeared greatly re- lieved when told that he was "1ead- ing the parade"
 You won't be too late till you get to Chicago" he was informed as the gateman punched his ticket
 Next came a passenger for St Louis who was hailed as Secretary McAdoo. lie produced a weird looking ticket finally recognized as mileage, which the gateman examined laboriously. Muttering that it seemed "as complf- cated as the shipping bill" the gate man asked If a mistake hadn't been made. Its intricacies were explained by methods of addition and subtrac- tion and the passenger passed through grinning. The gateman, recovering, re- marked to his pal: That wasn't no railroad ticket; that was today's treas try statement"
 Among the next batch of passen- gers was tall heavy-set man, car- rying broken plank under his arm, who tried to crowd through the St Louis gateway.
 Hey, MT. Speaker expostulated the gateman, this ticket aint no good. It reads for Baltimore. And it's four years o1d
 'T knew it." shouted the passenger, who resembled Champ Clark. Bill Hearst told me to try to work it off, but the darn ticket never was any good"
 The speaker finally got through on Missouri mileage" but the plank be- came wedged in the gateway As he tried to disengage it, he explained that it "came out of the Baltimore cy- clone" and was the last surviving bit of the one-term plank. They asked him what good it was and he replied that he was merely following T. R.'s ad- vice-'learn to swim, but always carry life preserver.'"
 Vice President Marshall, extremely nervous, was closely followed by Sem ator Lewis of Illinois
 "I ought to be nervous" he explained He follows me all the time. He fol- lowed me up to the rostrum in the Senate today and almost sat in the chair"
