LABOR RECEIVES LESS.
Increased Food Cost More Than Offsets
Advance In Wages.

If a dollars worth of food bought In
1907 weighed the market basket down
ten pounds, In 1916 that dollar pur-
chased only a trif1e more than seven
pounds. The retail prices Of food
jumped 80 per cent in 1916 as COM
pared with 1907, according to the in
vestigations Of the bureau of labor sta
tistics in the United States department
OF labor, as reported In the April
monthly review OF the bureau
Despite an average increase of 10
per cent In wages per hour in the same
period and a reduction In hours work
ed of 4 per cent, the rising cost of foods
has operated to cut the pay OF the
American workingman about 10 per
cent expressed in terms of food his
wages viii buy. A workingman who
made So a day In 1907. working ten
hours, in 1916 worked nine hours and
thirty-slx minutes a day and drew
$34S for It, But it cost him S4.17 to
buy the same quantity OF food his SO
would cover in 1907 So he really was
SO cents worse off.
The bureau OF labor statistics gath
ers figures from forty eight leading
cities Of the United States on union
scales of wages and from forty six
cities on feed prices. In these cities
live about one-Gfth (2000000O) of our
people. The wage returns come from
eleven groups Of organized workers.
These figures are taken from two bull
letins, giving scales Of wages and
hours of labor aud retail prices OF food.
Index numbers. percentages showing
proportionate rates OF increase or re-
duction, are shown for each year. The
department has learned that the alb
normal increase in food prices shown
In 1916 is still further increased IN
January to SO per cent and in Feb
ruary to 60 per cent above the average
cost in 1907 OF course all these fig
ures are based ON averages and may
not apply exactly to individual cases.

The nnn Work nau

The average working day in America
is still much more than eight hours.
Thousands of workers are still toiling
from seventy-two to eighty-four hours
week, and thousands of employers
oppose every effort to make the work
day shorter If they understood the
laws of work they would quit their OPP
position The very law Of the survival
of the fittest demands the conservation
of the workers lives. Employers can't
afford TO have them working so ineffi-
ciently While they are working and
then to lose their services entirely at

doesn't need to have any sympathy for
labor to become enthusiastic for the

KNOW THE CARS LOAD.
Method by Which Motorst Can Got
the Best Tire Service.

Method by Which Motorist Can Got
the Best Tire Service.
perhaps the greatest and most i'm
portant thing motorist should know
about a car is its weight with the aver
age load carried" says an expert. "By
knowing the weight of his car when
loaded ready to run the motorist is In
position to regulate his tires so that
they not only act as the best shock
absorber obtainable, but are fit to off
set any injuries which may come from
over or under imitation.
with the weight of the car known
when preparing for trip which in
cludes passengers it is very easy for
the motorist TO regulate his air pres
sure in the tires so that they will run
with the least injury to themselves.
This foresight will also prevent a
break in the side walls caused by an
overload.
with the weight of your car, plus
the weight of gasoline, water and
extra tires, with the weight of the
passengers added, you have the total
running weight Of your car.
For a quick way of determining
what air pressure you win carry in
your tires if you have no regular table
of imitation the following table is sug-
gested:
For three-inch tires divide the
weight of the load by thirty-two
For three and one-half-inch tires di-
vide the weight by forty.
For four-inch tires divide the
weight of the load by forty-eight.
For four and one-half-inch tires di-
vide the weight of the load by fifty-six
For fye-nch tires tires divide the
weight of the load by siXty-four.
For five and one-haf-inch tires di-
vide the weight of the load by seventy
two.
ITO further illustrate the working
out Of the above table suppose your
car weighed 2,SSO pounds aud YOU are
using fourinch tires. From the above
we find that for four-inch tires the
weight of the load should be divided
by forty-cight. This will give you
sixty pounds air pressure which
should be carried in your tires The
tire mileage will be greatly increased
if the motolist will regulate his air
pressure by the load he carries" New

Pulling an EIephant,s Tooth.

Perhaps the greatest dental operation
on record was performed some years
ago upon an elephant in the City of
Mexico. The aching tooth was twelve
inches long and measured fourteen
inches round the root. After the ami
NAL had been securely fastened with
chains his mouth was pried open and
a quantity of cocaine applied to deaden
the pain. When this was done a hole
was bored through the tooth and an
iron bar inserted Then a rope was
twisted around the bar and four
horses were attached thereto to drag
the offending molar out-London Tit
