Despite the wage adjustments I'M
anployment and severe declines IN
prices in the primary commodity
markets which have materially re-
duced the purchasing power of farm
ers and wage earners, no important
reflection of the change in conditions
is vet to be seen in~the cost of living
or retail price of commodities. Ad-
1ustments have been carried out In
the clothing and allied trades, but the
cost of living or retail price index
shows a decrease of less than 10 per
cent from the highest prices reached
Wholesale prices, on the other hand,
show a drop from the top of about 80
per cent. This condition cannot long
continue withouts inviting serious
trouble. The present difficulties of
the railroads are due largely to re-
duction in traffic, resulting from de-
creased buying on the part OF the
public and traffic rates out of proper
ton to values of commodities. The
roads are discharging employees and
reducing wage schedules, but these
are poor ways to improve the situa
ton. What they need is more bust
ness but they will not get it until the
buying power of the public shall have
been increased by lower prices.

WHEN DAY IS DONE.

WHEN DAY IS DONE.
When day is done and the night slips down,
And I've turned my back on the busy town,
And come once more to the welcome gate
Where the roses nod and the children walt,
tell myself as / see them smile
That life Is good and Its tasks worth while.
when day is done and I've come once more
To my quiet street and the friendly door.
Where the mother reigns and the children
play
And the kettle sings In the old-time way,
throw my coat on a nearby chair
And say farewell to my pack Of care.
When day is done, all the hurt and strife
And the selfishness and the greed OF life,
Are left behind in the busy town;
I've ceased to worry about renown
Or gold or fame, and I'm just a dad,
Content 20 be with his girl and lad.
Whatever the day has brought Of care,
Here love and laughter are mine to share,
Here can claim what the rich desire
Rest and peace by rudy fire,
The welcome words which the loved ones
speak
And the soft caress of a baby's cheek.
when day IL done and I reach my gate,
I come to realm where there is no hate,
For here, whatever my worth may be.
Are those who cling to their faith in me
And with love on guard at my humble
door.
I have ali that the world has struggled for.

JAPAN OFFERS

NAVY PROPOSAL
United States Still Determined
That Its Original Plans
Stand Unaltered
NAVAL EXPERTS BUSY
Will Not Be Permitted Any
Voice in Formulation Of
Policies of Nation
NAVAL EXPERTS BUSY

WASHINGTON, New 19.-(By the
Associated PrAss) Hughes
and his associates of the American
delegation have no intention of sur
rendering to the naval experts form
ulation of any policies to guide Amer
lean action in naval or other QueS-
tions pertaining to the conference.
II was made plain today that the
function of the experts was strictly
that of developing the facts. Deter
r"ination OF policies on those facts is
the reserved right of the civilians
who make up the American delegation
Empnasis IN this connection was
laid today on the undesirability of di-
verting attention from the main issue
of the American naval proposals, the
capital ship ratio plan. All questions
CT proportions of auxiliary craft, the
place of submarines in the scheme of
cuTtailment, and similar items are
looked upon by the American dele
cation as of secondary Importance.
For that reason, the American atti-
tude OF resolute adherence 10 the
"five-five-three ratio" of the Ameri-
can capitol ship plan has been empha
sized IL is the main issue which rs
still TO lie met, together with the 10
vo0r building holiday and n substan-
tial immediate reduction in tonnage
already afloat. The announced inten-
tion of the Japanese delegation to
seek an alteration of the ratio, how
ever, is the only known stumbling
block to this first vital agreement so
Tar as can be seen.
In connection with the Japanese at
titude, the impression appeared to
rain ground today that Admiral Kato,
in announcing his purpose to seek a
slightly higher tonnage ratio for Jap
an. was prompted somcwhnt by con-
sideration involving home politics. It
was hardly to be expected, come offic-
ers said. that he could accept out of
hand definite relegation Of Japan
to the short end of the ''five-five-
three" proposal without fight.

dence that Roy Gardner, escaped
convicted mail robber, would ''go
straight" if he were given IA par
don and permitted to go out and
seek work like any other man,
was expressed by his wife, who
arrived here today from San Fran
cisco.
Roy is not had at heart and he
is not lazy" declared Mrs. Gard
ner. She declared that she was
not attempting to condone his
crimes, but she admitted that she
believed that Roy was not exact
ly normal. mentally. She said
that he committed his first mail
robbery when he was broke"
and that his subsequent Offenses
all have been the result of need OF
food on his part.
Mrs. Gardner declared she was
confident Roy was not guilty of
the assault charge that has been
preferred against him by state Of
ficials on complaint of a young
