 Statistics recently published show that the average daily wage of workers in India up 70 the time of the war. at least, was about IT cents. although the Unsl3illed farm hand in Bengal got as low as four cents a day. In the mills an average work day consisted of about 13 or 14 hours, and the pay sometimes went as high a-s 35 cents.
 Suddenly confronted by greatly inflated cost O. living, workers re- ceivinz such wages find life com plicated indeed, and it is not thought strange that there have been strikes.

CARUS0 TAXES UP DECORATING
 IN SPARE TIME

Florence. Italy, Aug 26.-Corres- pondence of The Associate Press) - A house painter with now and then a touch of domestic carpentry for variety is what Enrico Caruso, grand opera star, becomes during his sum mer retreat in his villa in Sigma Lastra.
 While he is constantly disturbed by delegations of men with red bands on their arms as he trems the eX- ireme radical elements in the present italian unrest, he takes it all good naturedly and continues his paint ing.
 The correspondent of The Associat- ed Press recently called on the artist and found him decked in a loose sport shirt, lounginS trousers ana slippers. The meeting took place in the drawing room of the villa over looking a heavily laden valley of vine yards. Caruso strolled in leisurely his 1leeves tucked up and said, "I have been working"
 Then I suppose you are learning another opera?" asked the cores pondent.
 "Oh, mo-" said Caruso. i've been painting my little chapel I have nearly finished now. I want to get done before I start back to America in about a week"
 Signor CarusO showed the cOrres- pondent his home at the head of which was presiding Signora Caruso for the first time. The villa which overlooks some of the most pictures que territory in Italy for miles around is more American than Italian re- sembling in many respects the Co., IoniaI style. Caruso is working per- sonally on the installation of q miniature panorama in stone dipicting the life of Jesus, for which he has reserved a room.

Truo 1t is that in that far off land punkah coolies still doze COntentedly at their tasks when the sun falls shimmSring on the land. And on the high roads in Bahawalpu- the dust rises in suffocatinr clouds as the camels pass, there being always a pleasing refrain of rich, native profanity as the drivers crowd each other into the ditch.

Babus and bare legged natives who have no regard for the rest of their bodies so long as their heads are swathed in cloths swarm fa the by paths, but there is a difference.

because of the fact that believe that short

after the campaign is concluded far more readily
