MONEY WAGES.

Still another of the funadmental errors to be noted is that of assuming that the living conditions of the masses of the people can be improved by simply pushing up money wages and shortening hours of labor. It is possible that certain groups may nn- prove their relative position in this way, making gains for themselves at the expense of other wage-e -earning g groups, but such an accomplishment. does not raise the general position Of Labor. The workers in the iron and steel and textile industries have ob- tained wage advances aggregating over 100 per cent. since the begin ming of the war, which is much more than the average advance in all the industries. The selling prices of steel and textile products have been advanced accordingly, and the work CTS in all the other industries are paying the bill.
 The only gains that signify general benefits are those which represent an improvement in the standard of liv- ing for the masses of the people, giv iEg more leisure and more of the comforts which they crave. These are gains for which soceity should unitedly strive, but wage advances
  wage advances which simply put up prices on consumers are so disap- pointing that they result in embitter- ing the wage-workers against the whole social order, because they feel that they have somewhat been cheat ed out of what had been ostensibly conceded. If each line of industry will contrive to increase its produc- ton, thus having more to offer in the exchanges, it is evident that the workers in every line will have mors for consumption
 The experience of industry during the war has shown that vast gains are possible simply by the full and well-organized employment of all the industrial forces. Scientific learning was mobilized for the assistance of industry more effectively than ever before, and permanent results will follow Finally, the greatest in- fuence for the improvement of in dustry and by this means for the inn provement of social conditions will be found in more harmonious rela- tions between employers and en- ployes.-The National City Bank of New York.

PICTURES WILL RECORD FLIGHT
 ACROSS OCEAN

New York, June 21.-One Of tho unique and interesting features of the navys recent transatlantic flight is the com pflation for the historical ar ch1ves of the Navy Department of a complete pictorial record of the flight. including drawings, sketches, photo graphs, motion pictures and oil paint ings. The record will show the con- struction and trace the development
 of the NC type of planes in which the flight was made beside depicting actual scenes of the preparations for the flight and it's progress across the ocean.
 Navy photographers photogra ed every interesting phase of the prep arations and the trial flights at Rock
 away Beach. Later when the course had been selected, other photograph CTS were sent to Halifax, N. S.; Tre-
 passy, N. F.; Ponta Delgada, Azores; Lisbon, Portugal and Plymouth,
 England, where landing stations and
 bases had been established. Several thousand feet of motion picture film and several hundred photographs
 were taken at these stations and from these a careful selection will be made for the departments pictorial record.
 The task of making a pictorial re- view on canvas was entrusted to Lieu tenant c. E. Ruttan, U. S. N. R. F., of New York, who was designated by the Navy Department as, the official artist for the flight. He was tempor- arily assigned to the U. s. s. Mel vile, which acted as a supply and re- pair ship for the seaplanes at Ponta Delgada- Lieutenant Ruttan, who is d qualified pilot, brought to the work a long and valuable experience obtain ed in painting naval aviation pictures on the Western front.
 During the three weeks the Mel vile was stationed at Ponta Delgada Lieutenant Ruttan made nearly a doz- en sketches in oil, Illustrating the
 most interesting and exciting scenes of the flight. One sketch shows the
 arrival of the NC-4 at Ponta Delgada
 with cheering crowds lining the beach and all ships in the harbor outlin- ed in bunting and flags. Another shows the arrival of the damaged seaplane NC3, which motored into port under her own power after being adrift for 53 hours.
 Two of the pictures illustrate planes passing a destroyer station ship. The first, a day view, shows the plane flying above storm clouds and the destroyer aglow with lights and her
 searchlight piercing the darkness
 Another sketch represents the crew of the NC-1 being rescued by the Greek steamer Ionia. Others picture exciting incidents during the periods that the NC-1 and NC-3 were adrift in the rough seas.
 The artist contemplates painting a panoramic view of Ponta Delgada harbor at the time of the NC-4s arrival for a, frieze in the building or section
  voted to aeronautics. It Is proba b1e that the pictures will be placed on ex- hibition within a short time, and later assigned permanent place in the Navy Department building at Wash ington.

HALIFAX

Halifax was founded ITO years ago today, June 21, 1S49, when Lord Corn wallis fleet with some 4,000 English emigrants on board, found a safe harbor in Chebucto Bay, after a long and tempestuous voyage. The first action of the settlers was to hold a service of prayer and thanksgiv- ing. The infant city was immediate ly christened Halifax, in honor of the earl of that name. A permanent site for the settlement was chosen only after much heated argument, some advocating the selection of the west ern side of the peninsula, at Point Pleasant, but the majority deciding that the eastern side was prefera ble. At the time of the founding of Hal flax the surrounding fertile country was peopled by the Micmac Indians, and these, under the leadership of other Frenchmen. were for some years source of trouble and danger to the English settlers. The deportation of the Acadians was followed by a steady accretion of English and Scotch settlers, and Halifax grew rapidly. Its harbor, among the finest in the world
 gave 1t a supremacy over the Nova
 Scotia settlements which 1t has al ways maintained.
