compensation was on a par with
the compensation OF these people

A similar problem faces the wage
carncrS IN ali the industries. he
wage-workcrs in agriculture have
the situation before their eyes, and
have yielded TO it promptly. The
wages of farm hands have dropped
approximately onc-hali. Farm hands
were close enough TO the situation
to see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers, railroad en-
ployes and town workers generally
are many OF them working for the
farmers and will have TO face the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold, and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out of balance. Recovery will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.

The obelisk. which will be IT'S feet

ly to erect shaft $50 feet to be
eXcelled only by the Washington

anxious to aprticipate in the cere-
monies. the thinning ranks urged
completion as soon as possible. The
work was started in 1917 and in
terrupted by the World War.
Profiles in bronze OF Mr.. Davis
and his daughter Mrs. Margaret
/ Davis HAYES, one of the most beau
tifuI women in the South, ornament
the base of the monument. which
! is 43 feet square. 1t contains a
room for relics.
The shaft is situated in Jefferson
Davis Park. which takes in part Of
the farm on which the president of
the Confederacy was born on June
s, 1908, less than a year before Lin
coin. The park comprises about
% acres. The town of Fairview
gains its name from one of the most
beautiful landscapes in the South.

industries and in transportation be
fore this situation is reached. Il
has been contcnded, and with much
force, that living costs should lead
rather than follow, wage reductions
and they have led at the expense OF
the earnings of farmers and at the
expense of profits and dividends.
but they have reached a point where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
a loss of purcha sing power TO wage
carners, Tor the very reason thai
wages are now the principle facto
in prices, and the cost Of living
generally speaking, will decline
accordingly.
On the other hand if further re-
auctions are not made in the in
dustrics indicated, living costs are
likely to rise. Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose OF
curtailinE the production of agri-
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be Is per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions TO meet the de
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production OF food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinations OF wage-earncrs
and others to maintain wages and
the prices of town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The wnolc system Of restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view OF lettering living
conditions for those who practice it.
When everybody practices it the
result is poorer living conditions for
all. The best results will be OBJ

OBSERVERS of business are
almost unanimous in their as
" surances that there is better
feeling" about business.
Just exactly what this recurring
phrase means is difficult TO state
1t might be descriptive OF any OF
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. II
it means that people generally have
begun to realize the causes tina,
have thrown industry out OF bal
ance, and to appreciate the thing
that must be corrected before con-
ditions come into equilibrium again.
then we should say that the re
ported Better feeling constituted
an important advance toward nor
maicy. If, however, the better
feeling means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously to the task OF
wage and price reductions and other
readjustments that are necessary.
then we fear that it signifies but
little.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the readjustments are taking
place. They are slow, but il takes
time for a knowledge of conditions
to reach all classes and divisions of
the population, and for them to
make up their minds TO give the
cooperation that is necessary TO
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile, it will aid in the cultiva-
ton of patience TO realize that con-
ditions are by no means so bad as
they might be, and that considering
all the circumstances the volume OF
business is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which a revival of business waits is
still the inequality of values as be-
tween the various classes of goods
and services. The normal basis OF
trade between people in different
industries has been disturbed, and
it is only by the pressure of painful
experience that the old relations are
restored.
The producers of cotton, corn and
oats, wool, hides, sugar and fooi
stuifs generally are getting no more
for their labor than before the war
Among the principal items of ex-
pense to them is clothing. They
produce the raw material for it, but
under the modern system of indus
try sell it and buy it back in the
form of garments, paying the trans
portation charges, millworkcrs,
garment-workcrs and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials to everybody.
All of the people who have part
in the conversion Of wool, cotton
and hides for the farmers use are
still getting 100 per cent or better
above pre-war wages, but naturally
they are not all at work. for the

KNOWING HOW TO
STOP AN ENGINE
OF More Importance to Driver
Than knowledge Of How to
Start His Automobile.
GREAT AID IN SAVING TIRES
Applying Brakes Very Hard viii Re-
suit In Tread Damage to Both Of
Rear Tires-Sharp Turns Are
Cause Of Skiddina.

Knowing how to stop when neces-
sury is considered OF more importance
than knowledge of how to start the
engine. The use Of service and emer-
gency brakes is taught to the new car
owner early.
Being somewhat nervous and timid
the new driver may apply the brakes
very hard, with the result that one or
both of the rear tires will receive
tread damage. Locking the wheels
will not under all conditions bring the
car TO an immediate stop. The mo-
mentum and weight will frequently
cause the wheels to slide along for
considerable distance and grind off
the tread Of the tires in the same man
ner that street cars receive fiat spots.
A Stitch In Time, Etc.
When ground down to the fabric in
this way the tread should be given
early attention to protect the fabric
from decay and weakening effect of
moisture and to prevent dirt from
working under the rubber with prob
able separations of other tread por-
tions. 1t is well to inspect the inside
of the case and repair any threads or
plies of fabrics broken from strain.
Sharp quick turns or fast driving at
curves usually causes rear wheels to
slide and skid sideways This not
only wears off the tread rubber quick
ly, but on account of the unusual
strain is particularly harmful to the
fabric body of the tire.
1t Is recommended that the service
(fooD brakes be given occasional In
spection. Any difference In adjust
ment In brake drums can be dlscov-
cred by jacklng up rear axle so that
neither wheel rests on the ground,
then start the engine and engage the
clutch. II on application of the foot
brakes one rear wheel revolves and
the other does not, or II one wheel
revolves faster than the other. the tire
on the one turning slower receives
more strain and under the circum-
stances excessive wear to the tread
rubber may be expected.
Watch the Clutch.
The clutch plays an important part
In the efficiency of the car and In the
service OF the tires. 1t is essential
therefore that the same be kept In
good order SO that 1t will take hold
smoothly when gears are engaged.
Usually the taking up of loose bear
ings and frequent lubrications WIFI OBJ
tain the desired results. Avoid letting
In the clutch too quickly while the en-
gine is running fast-such treatment
is not good for either the car or
tires.
Spinning the drive wheels In mud
or on slippery pavements may grind
Off the tread rubber and some times
snag the cover along the entire wheel
circumference. II Is not unusual for
the tread under such treatment to be
torn In places from the fabric.
