 Stating that the plight of the vet erans is serious enough today and that winter is just around the corner" the Weekly continues:
 'All over the United States the American Legion is working to meet this new emergency It is not alto gether a. new problem for most of the posts, for they have long had efn- ployrnent officers and have Systeruat- ically helped their members obtain jobs. The problem has now become one of volume. Facilities that en- abled a post to place three or a dozen men in jobs weekly do not meet the requirements when hundreds of vet erans are on the unemployment lists and open jobs have almost vanished. The problem has also become one laragefy of relief"

German Wine Crop Is
Purchased Very Cheap

MAYENCE, Germany, Nov. 10
ASSOCIATED Press MaiD-Hundreds
of foreigners, chiefly Frenchman, Bel
gians and Hollanders, taking advan-
tage of the present low value of the
German mark, have almost bought up
the entire German wine output of
1921.
The ruthless raids by foreign buy
ers, whom nc fancy prices seem to
deter, are a sourc of bitter lamenta-
ton on the part of domestic con-
sumers, who foresee that but little of
the precious liquor will be left for
their own enjoyment.
German officials have been seeking
means to prevent Germans from be-
ing deprived of this years excellent
wine and from having to purchase in
ferior vintages of other years at high
err prices. AS a last effort to retain
the remain of the 1921 crop, an agita-
ton has been started to force foreign
ers to pay a higher price for the wine
than the Germans.
The Prussian Minister of Com
merce is taking steps to enforce the
law prohibiting exports, which covers
n~ecessaries of life as well as wine
sold in small lots.

The Daily Fun Hour
CHRISTMAS

For some new unknown reason, as
DR.. Gregor, of Keith, noted many
years ago, this old Scottish game is
played only during Christmas seasons
In remote districts of Scotland, where
ever since their invention, pins have
been used for tee-totum counters, the
lads and lassies save pins all the year
around for Christmas Tee-totum.
The tee-totum may be an ordinary
wooden alphabet block with a peg
driven in underneath, or a cube of
wood may be whitfield to a point on
the under side, and have a screw fas-
tened to the top for holding it when
twirling the tee-totum. On each of
the four sides a letter is marked. In
Scotland these letters are always A.
N. d. and T. Each player puts the
same number of counters-pins, pen
MES or nuts-into a pool on the table.
When the first player twirls the tee
totum all watch to see which letter
falls uppermost. If it is A. ~signifying
tack a" (take all), he wins the whole
pool; if it is N. for the Scotch "nikil'
meaning nihil, or nothing, he gets
none: if it is 7. which stands for
tack ane" (take one), he draws one
counter, but if it is d, for "dossie
doom" Clay DOWN., he puts in an ex.
ira counter.
Then the next players twirls the
tee-totum and wins n OIL all, gains
nothing or loses one, accordingly to
the letter turned up. Whenever A
(take ally turns up for a player, a
fresh pool must be collected from all
the players. At the end of the game
a Christmas box is given to High
land Tee-totum," that is, to the play
er having the greatest number OF
counters. If pennies or nuts are play
ed no prize is given: the winner in
that case has won enough.

True Explanation
 of Miners Trouble
Not Making Wage Fight as Agree
 ment Now Lasts Until 1922.

In order that there may be a full and understanding of the position of the United Mine Workers of America on the subject of reductions in wages and to set at rest all rumOrS and reports in re- gard to that subje International PreSi- dent John L. Lewis has issued the follow ing statement:
 "There will be no reduction of wages in the organized sections of the coal min ing industry. The mine workers are now working under scale of wages fixed by the United States BitumlnOuS Coal Com mission, created by the President and which funCtiOned under governmental au- thority. These wage schedules were writ ten into an agreement between miners and operators which will not terminate until March 31, 1922. Thre can be no mOdi- fiCation or abrogation of this agreement in any coal producing district without dis turbing the integrity of the contract throughout the entire nation. The United Mine Workers will resist any attempt to disturb the equanimity of its present con- tractual relations. The present acute de- pressiOn in the mining industry, with con- sequent widespread unemployment and distress among the mine workers, IS not in any way attributable to the wage schedule now in effect Production costs at the present time are such as to enable coal to be produced and furnished the consuming public at a price relatively lower than any other basic or essential commodity Users of coal should not de- lay purchase upon the theory or with the hope that any reduction of wages will be accepted by the mine workers. State ments to the contrary have no basis in

ASKS STATE TO
 WATCH OFFICIALS
Spending in Excess of Appropria- tions May Mean Prosecution
 Hereafter.

Hartford, May I3.-The state attor- ney and superior court for Hartford county are given jurisdiction in the investigation of heads of state depart ments and institutions who seek de- fcenCy appropriations from the state board of control upon presentation by the attorney general of facts connect ed with the request which show that the department heads have exceeded the legislative appropriations. This is provided for in an amendment which Representative Nickerson of Cornwall, in the House of Represent tatives, Wednesday, tackled on to the appropriation bill.
 "Heads of departments must learn to have deep respect for the laws of the General Assembly even if they haven't any for themselves or for anybody else," MT. Nickerson de- clared. The gentleman from Corn wall quoted from the recent survey ot the state that the state board of con trol exercised a veto power over the General Assembly,, read extracts from minutes of board of control meetings which showed that the attorney gen. eral had declared it was "dangerous practice" and that the use Ot trust funds for other purposes was unJus- tihable.
 "We are asked to put our rubber stamp of approval on their actions" MT Nickerson said, in pointing out that the Senate bill appropriating the second $I 100000 to the state board of control was to provide for eNpendi- lures not authorized by the General Assembly.
 Something must be done. We must investigate the conduct of those who bring about violations of the law and disregard the General Assembly," de- clared MT. Nickerson. "lt is high time to investigate or the state will be in harkruDtcV"

FIGURES SHOW ENORMOUS JUMP
 IN CHILD LABOR
More Than 76,OOO Working in 12 Cities, Including New Haven
 and Waterbury.

In 1920 according to figures just made public by the U. s. Department of Labor, through its Chlldrcn'S Bu- reau, 75,Io4 children took out permits 10 go to work in I2 representative American cities.
 These cities arc Baltimore, Bridge port, Buffalo, Manchester, Minncapo- lis, New Haven, New Orleans, New York, Rochester, St. Louis, Toledo, and Waterbury. More children re- ccived permits in 1920 than in any other year since 1913, except 1918 when war production was at its height.
 Nineteen eighteen was the peak year in the steady rise of child en- ployment which began in 1915 as soon as the effect of foreign orders for W2r goods made itself felt in this country available for both years, all except one showed an increase in 1910 over IoI5, ranging from A per cent. m the case of Baltimore to 1o7 per cent. in the case of Toledo. In 1917, and in 1918, 24 out of 28 cities furnishing information, reported increases over the preceding year in the number ct children taking out employment Ccr- tifcatcs. In 1919 a decrease occurred in 25 out of 2o cities. In 1920, how ever, increases were again recorded in IS out of 20 cities.
 The increase in 1920 is said 10 be due to the increased cost of living and to labor shortage.
 The Children's Bureau calls a1tcn- ton to the fact that in some cities bet ter enforcement of the law requiring employment certificates accounts for increases in the number of permits issued, and states that while, in the 12 cities for which figures are avail able for 1920, "the number of children taking out certificates has increased in proportion to the increase in ?opu- lation, it can not be stated positively, any more than 1t can be denied, that the number of children actually going to work in 1920 increased in like pro- portion over the number going 10 work in I9I3."
