Is most unsatisfactory to the
men, and does not enable them
to meet the high cost of living.
These union leaders have told
the President that they must
either have higher wages or he
must reduce the cost of living.
The director general of railroads
has pointed out To the employees
that any further increase in
their wages. after the very
heavy increases of the past
year, would only result in in.
creasing the cost of all produce
ton and so raising the prices Of
all necessities.
Government officials who are
sincerely desirons of adequately
coping with the situation
brought upon by war prices,
and helping all working people
TO earn adequate wages, point
out that the bulk of all cost of
production i'll this country is
the cost of labor, and that ev-
cry increase in wages raises the
cost of production, and so raises
prices TO the consuming public.
They show that the country
will never get on II normal ba-
sis of prices by continuous in.
creases in wages, which simply
raise all prices higher. Some
of the more broad guugcd labor
leaders are of the same opinion,
and they are pointing out to
their followers that constant
increases i'll wages only react
against the wage earners, and
in effect make them proiiteers
ON each others. But these con-
servativc labor leaders find it
difficult 20 get hearing. The
members of their unions are
more ready to listen to the
leaders who promise to get
higher wages for them.

Men Who Went TO War
Should Have Suffrage,
Says Chase.

Delegates Roland +. Chase,
of Dickinson, and Il. a. Ander-
son, of Smyth, have offered in
the House a joint resolution
amending sections 20, 81 and -
Of the Constitution for the re-
lief of the boys who fought in
the recent world war. They
would amend section 20 so that
only the qualifications Of age and
residence, as required in section
is, shall apply They would
amend section 81 by allowing
the soldier who is so unfortunate
ms 10 he unable 10 prepare and
mark his ballot to be aided in
marking his ballot BY such Of
iiccr of election as he himself
may designate.
lhey would amend section -
by placing the soldiers OF the
Spanish-Amcrican war and the
world war on the same footing
with the soldiers of the civil war
relative to the payment OF poll
taxes. sit is estimated that %
per cent of the white men alone
who went from Virginia were

Mr.. Chase, "but if they were
good enough TO fight and die for
their country, with sufficient in
telligence to make good soldiers,
they should, at least, be given
the privilege of casting a ballot. +"

Boy Scouts
In Camp

Monday evening, August 18th
saw the scouts assembled under
Acting ScoutmaSter DR.. Kari
Stoehr, and headed for llolston
Springs for II weeks outing.
They cntrained at Big Stone Gap
station and transferred at Gate
City to an auto truck which took
them to their destination, lfol-
ston Springs.
The camp site was soon locat-
cd and the erection of camps be-
gan. DR.. Stoehr learned some
thing about how much talk can
be consumed in erecting couple
OF tents. The fire place had to
be built of brick and IRON: fish
ing holes, and source of grub
supply looked up, but all this
was soon done and the bows
found bathing suits comfortable
and convenient. Hr. Stoehr
was homesick by Tuesday and
sent for former Scoutlnastcr
Bruce +. Taylor, who came out
from Bristol Wednesday and
stayed during the rest of the
trip.
Wednesday was the big day.
Three big cat fish and -four big
bass and two turtles besides an
ample supply of biz red eyes
filled the lardcr full FOR supper.
And the boys were hungry, be-
cause they had only had soup
and bread for dinner. Thursday
brought sorrow to the camp when
Otho lIisel had to go home to
help his father carve the beef for
Big Stone Gaps sunday dinner
and George Goodloe became
homcsick to see his mother aud
bolicd camp.
Edgar Kennedy was the cham
plon mush maker, fish and turtle
dresser, etc, While he was
dressing our finest turtle
DIR. Morrison came along and
showed the boys aud grown-ups
the reptiles heart in action. Did
you ever SEGA heart beat?
Did YOU ever camp with the
scouts? Ii not both are inter
cSting experiments.
Arthur Fostcr,the most orderly
OF scouts, tried in vain TO keep
the camp in order and Ralph
Showalter was the courier to the
city travelling swiftly on his
good wheel.
The big fishermen were I.uih-
er Mahan, Jim Mccormick and
Pat foyell, They rustled min
nows and ran the out lines faith
fully and brought to camp many
a delicious catch.
Did you ever see a boy swallow
a loaf of bread, dance while
and squcel for more. Well,
come out to camp sometime
when Car! Banks is on the lob.
The big frog liunter is Car
knight. He knows just where
they are but can't get them t,

Jim GiIly, II new recruit, i,
gentleman of the camp. liz
sleeps out loud and no one know,
how his mother ever gets hin
out of bed.

enough al one meal to last him IL

about hundred boys and girls.

on high speed gear with one power
impulse per foot OF travel, it Is pos
sible to change to intermediate and
procure two power impulses, or to low
speed and get three.
Grades usually are over-estimated.
We often hear persons speak of 80
per cent grades. when it is doubtful
if they ever have seen a road with that
grade-l0 per cent seems to be about
the limit hereabouts. The reason for
over estimating hills is that in looking
up grade the distance appears to be
much less than it is really; we seem
to see a great rise in n short distance
and of course conceive of a steep
grade. If the eye properly judged
distance with height we would know
that perhaps it was but gentle slope.
Sometimes when touring the motor
appears to be pulling fine on an APP
parently steep hill, while at other times
the opposite Is true and the motor
labors on what we think d slight rise.
The reason lies in wrong estimate In
each case. The eye has led us to jump
at a conclusion by observing the grade
at wrong angle.
In figuring the percentage on grade
it should be remembered that 100 feet
rise in 100 feet horizontal distance gives
an angle of AZ degrees, but it is a 100
per cent grade.
While we are likely to overestimate
grades, care should be had that we do
not overestimate the pulling power Of
the engine on grades. One should learn
to shift gears handily and then give
the engine n chance. 1t will tend for
longer life for the power plant, and
the minute or so longer spent on the
hill will not make much difference
in time of reaching our destination.
