271,S10 wage earners employed in 81
industries in Missouri, when the same
are in fun operation, according to
figures compiled by the authority Of
Commissioner William II. Lewis of
the Bureau Of Labor. The estimate
was made in response TO a request of
the federal department Of labor for
such information and will be used by
that department in computing the eX-
tent of unemployment in Missouri
Many of the bureaus figures are
estimated in reports Of labor unions
and reports of manufacturers associ-
ations and are intended TO supplement
a statement issued a few days ago
which gave the number of members
of labor organizations in the state and
another which showed the records Of
the state free enIploymen bureaus in
st, Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph
for 1920.
The latest report is made in round
figures. The industries employing the
most workers and the number in each
industry are shown in the report as
| follows:
Boot and shoe trade. $4,000; pack
ing houses 1880; foundries and ma
chine shops, 14,7OO; tobacco and
cigars, 5000; printing and publishing,
16,5OO: bakery products 5000; cleo

ALL THAT YOU GET FOR
NOTHING

The all-wise Creator has given us
many, many blessngs-and one of
the greatest and the best is the good
Old fresh air.
Gold mines, copper mines, potash
lakes, cornfields (when the prices are
right, steel mills, diamond quarries-
none produce as essential and delight
full and valuable a human commodity
as this same old reliable fresh ART
There should be more of it in our
office buildings. Nentilators should
be in every window so that air may
come through without terrifying the
inhabitants by the danger of a
"draught."
BY the way-what is a draught?
A person thints nothing at all of
walking several blocks in raging
gale or a blizzard or something of the
sort, but if anyone opens a window in
his or her office-gosh, what a yell
about the "draught!"
What is the difference between
fresh air and a draught?
Fresh air is one of the few things
you get for nothing nowadays. Why
not take advantage of it?

PRETTY COMMON CHAPS

Of the men of the navy, whether in
sea ship or airsbip or balloon, as we
all have a right to be, but lamenting
the squabbles that trail in the path of
glory
The return Of the navy balloonists,
caught in the wilds and the SHOWS of
the Hudson Bay region, was fine to
Moose Factory and fine as they mush-
ed il down from Moose Factory to
Mattice, but at Mattice it got bad.
There, with large corps Of newspaper
correspondents waiting to greet them
and a special train provided to carry
them to Toronto TO be banqueted by
the Aero Club Of Canada. the climax
they furnished was a fist fight! one
had been writing home mean things
about another. One would have
thought they had been through ter
rOrs, hardships and danger of death
that would bind them together affec-
tionately for life, but a blow, knock
down, the Intervention Of friends! The
commander had in his pocket tele-
gram from the secretary Of the navv
congratulating them for the glory they
had shed on, the service by their nerve,
their intrepidity and their endurance
under extraordinarily adverse and try
ing circumstances. And after that the
Aero Club of Canada would not give a
banquet to naughty boys. and the Sec
retary Of the navy was obliged to order
an inquiry, and may have a court
martial
The men did become involved in
great peril. The wilderness and the
| SHOWS We're formidable. They had to
endure poignant hunger. But they did
thoir best 10 keep from dying, as any
! other three men would have dCne, and
| they were strong enough to Withstand
their sufferings. If, in addition to all
this, they had kept-the two OF them
involved-manly hearts and dispose
tions, the accident of wind and wealth
er and wilderness that befel them and
their escape would have cast an heroic
glamour over their adventure. But
the two who had a fight spoiled it all.
The only story the newspaper men
got out of them. after what had prev
iously been printed OF their predica-
ment and their salvation, communi-
Gated by trappers and woodsmen, was
the quarrel and the knock down,
which give the impression that they
