BOYS THEN AND NOW

An editor in a ncighboring city says that boys nowadays do not trade as they did in the days gone by, but perhaps it is due to the fact that nearly every boy has nearly everything he wants, without having to trade for it, as was the ease in the past. But, anyway, it is certain that the yomgStcr or today isn't running around looking for an- other boy to whom he may trade something as was the ease when lot of us were boys.
 Sometimes you traded "sight unseen. '" That is, you held your knife, or what re- mained of it, firmly in your hand so it could not be seen, and placed it into the out stretched hand of another boy while hr did the same thing with the broken knife be held hidden in his palm. Neither knife was worth anything except to trade; boy with la whole knife would not be so foolish as to trade "sight unseen
 But there was a code of ethics that went along even with the sight unseen" trade That is, you said mo blade no trade, " and that meant what it said
 The value of marbles was pretty well established. A certain kind of marble was worth just so many of another kind of mar blc. They were legal tender-two little ones being worth one big one. But there was trading also of clothing-hats and caps and vests, and gloves and mittens. Why, that is the way a boys character and chances in life are estimated-if he is a shrewd trader, he would be prosperous; if he was always getting the worst of the bar gain, folks said he would die poor And he generally did, if he couldn't take care of himself in trade.-Ex.

Delaware NOW AID
IN MANUFACTURING
State Slips Back One Point
According to Federal
Census
REPORT TELLS OF
SHORTER WORK DAY

That Delaware has slipped back one
point as a manufacturing State is dis
closed by the Federal census Of manu-
features in this State, made in 1914 by
agents OF the United States Department
of Commerce. The Delaware report Is
made UNDER the supervision Of G. L.
Kinney and in part sets forth:
The total value OF farm crops grown
in 1909 WAS s9,i2lSO OF which more
than one-half, si,692,329, represented
cereals.
Measured by the value of its manu-
factured products, Delaware ranked
forty-second among the states in 1914
as compared With forty-nrst in 1909.
In both years the State held thirty
eighth place in the average number OF
wage earners employed. The manufac-
lures Of the State represented about
the. same proportion OF the total value
of the production OF the United States
at the last three censuses, twO-tenths
OF per cent. in 1914, and three-tenths
OF 1 per cent. both in 1909 and 1904.

most important Of these industries.

most important Of these industries.
The industries in the table are ar
ranged in the order of their Importance
as shown by value of products, but the
arrangement would vary considerably
from that given if based on average
number Of wage earners, or value add
ed by manufacture. Leather, tanned
curried and finished, ranked first In
value Of products but second in num-
ber Of wage earners and in value added
by manufacture. Foundries and ma
chine shops, second in value OF prod
ucts, ranked first in number Of wage
earners and in value added by manu-
facture. The construction OF steam
railroad cars and the steam railroad re-
pair shops held the same relative rank
in average number of wage earners,
value Of products and value added by
manufacture. Canning and preserving,
fifth in average number Of wage earn
ers and value Of products, was sixth
lin value added by manufacture. Paper
and wood pulp, sixth in value of prod
ucts. was ninth in number u wage
tearners and value added to manufac-
I ture.
/ In rank, according TO value OF prod
ucts, there were a number. .Of changes
in 1914 as compared with 1909 or the
more important Industries shown in the
table, the tanning and finishing Of
leather, fOundries and machine shops,
the construction Of cars for steam rail-
road use, and steam railroad repair
shops held the same rank in value Of
/ products at both census Canning and
preserving and paper and pulp mills
reversed the order OF their importance,
while flour mills and grist mills, which
held eighth place in 1909, dropped TO
tenth place in 1914. For the remainder
Of the industries there were slight
changes from the eariIer census TO the
later.
Establishments engaged primarily in
the manufacture OF leather, as we'll as
these treating hides ana skins for
others, are included in this classiflca-
ton. Measured by value OF products,
this is the most important industry IN
Delaware The value o. the leather
tanned and finished in 1914 represented
1914 per cent. OF the total manufactures
Of the State. During the flve-year per-
iod, f909-i9l4, the number Of establish
ments engaged in the industry increased
by Z, but there was a decrease OF 2496

per cent. in the average number OF
wage earners. and Of 3i.f per cent. in
the value added by manufacture. The
industry is centralized in Wilmington
where iS Of the 20 tannerics reported
for the State are located.
Foundry and Machine Shop Products
This industry includes, rOr purposes
OF comparison with prior census, es-
Establishments engaged in automobile re-
pairing and in the manufacture OF

steam fittings and heating apparatus
, steam, gas and water engines, and hard
ware. The combined industry ranks
first in number CT wage earners, en-
lploying ia per cent. OF the total wage
earners in all industries OF the State
, During the flve-year period t909-t9il
there was much larger increase in
all items than in the period i904-l9O9
The average. number OF wage earners

Increased i41 per cent. from 1909 Ia
1914, while from 1904 to 1909 there was
a decrease of 81 per cent; the value
Of products increased 2S per cent. from
1909 to 1914 as against &C per cent.
from 1901 to 1909; and the value added
by manufacture increased 25.2 per cent.
from 1909 to 1874 as against 6.3 per
cent. from 1905 to 1909.
Cars, steam railroad, not including
operations Of railroad companies and
cars and general shop construction and
repairs by steam railroad companies.-
These two branches or industry are
closely allied. Combined, they gave
employment 10 an average or 4i69 wage
.earners during 1914, or an increase Of
30t per cent; their value Of products
amounted TO ss,495. .733, or 23.5 per cent.
increase; and their value added BY
manufacture was S3,9ls,g75, or 30.6 per
cent. increase.
Canning and Preserving.
This industry depends entirely upon
the agricultural and fishing products
for It's raw materials. 10 includes the
canning and preserving OF fruits, vege-
tables and 1lsh, and the manufacture
OF pickles, preserves and sauces. Since
4obV tntHflAurlAN AtnE CAIuAlilt
in Importance until IN f9ia it held
firth place among the industries Of the
state as measured by value Of prod
ucts. From 1909 to 1914 the average
number Of wage earners increased 33T
per cent; value Of products, 5s6 per
cent, and the value added by manufac-
ture, SIG per cent.
The figures emphasize the tendency
I - - h. rf.,r-
day in the factories or the State. In
1909. 67s2, or not quite one-tliird Of the
total average number OF wage earners
for all industries combined, were en-
ployed in establishments operating 90
hours or more per week, while but
439s, or only ABOUT one-flfth, were so
employed in 1914. Furthermore, the
number OF wage earners working less
than 90 hours per week increased from
i4,456 in 1909 to i7T57 in 1914, or from
6Si per cent. Of the total number In the
state to SOL per cent. There was
marked increase during the fve-year
period in the proportion Of wage earn
ers in each OF the three groups OF es-
Establishments operating from AZ TO 04
hours ner week.
Among the separate industries, the
tanning and finishing OF leather shows
the most pronounced decrease IN hours
OF labor. In 1914, l74 per cent Of the
wage earners in this industry were
employed in establishments whore the
hours OF labor were 81 or fewer per
week. as compared with 23d per cent.
in 1909. In the foundries and machine
shops, 65.2 per cent. OF the wage earn
ers in 1909 were employed in establish
ments where the hours Of labor were
"a or fewer per week, but in 1914 the
proportion thus employed had in
creased TO 9i1 per cent. Canning and
preserving and lumber also show de-
creased hours Of employment.
In Wilmington the total average num-
,ber Of wage earners In 1914 was f5,0ls.
OF whom 1926 were in establishments
operating 60 hours or less per week,
while only 123 were in establishments
in which the hours were more than 60
per week.
