If person can scowl at himself,
Hawley Miller was doing just that, as
his mud-bespattered, rafting, bounc-
ing, swaying gasoline chariot snOrted
along the rutty road.
The sc0wl was occasloned by the
fact that Hawley was the road COM
missioner. into whose care and keep
ing had been delivered this particular
stretch of undesirable highway, and
by the additional facts that he realized
he must do something In the way Of
Improvement and that he wondered
how he was going TO find the men
TO do II.
His crew Of highway workers was
kept busy overtime patching various
parts Of the country's turnpike system
and the funds allotted for the purpose
would be- totally inadequate to pay out
additional wages. So Hawley scowled
AT himself.
As he approached the Parker home.

Ilawley found his machine caught In a
pair OF deep ruts. He tried To steer
the wheels out of the depresslons, but
the latter were too deep. so he sat back
with Il sigh and allowed the chariot
to find It's own way. This relaxation
was responsible for the accident that
occurred. There must have been u
break in the ruts that held the wheels,
for the car suddenly ilounced out of
the road and headed with rush for
a mammoth oak tree on the Parker
lawn. Before Ilawlcy could rctard the
gas throttle the machine crashed into
the tree, and the conclusion hurled
the road commissioner To the ground.
Somebody appeared NJ the front door
of the residence. and lIawley's be-
fuddled vision caught u flash Of blue,

WAGE REDUCTION
IN SURE
Labor Writers Expect Decline in Trades
That Are Poorly
Organized,

LONDON. Jan. 30.-Labor CORE
spOndentS of various London newspapers
assert the cost of living has declined in
Great Britain and that a reduction of
wages is inevitable, They report decreases
in wages already have occurred in cases
where sliding scales of pay were based on
the selling prices of the goods produced.
These wage cuts. however. are mostly
in trades which are poorly organized.
There is n good deal Of speculation among
the labor writer's as to the attitude of
workers in highly organized trades when
they are called upon to accept a lower
wage, in accordance with previously ar
ranged plans based upon the cost of liv-
ing.
The ministry of labor official figures on
the cost of living for working class fam
lies show that at the end of December the
percentage was 169 higher than in 1914
against the November figure Of 1T6. while
for January 1t was expected to reach I61.
This. while alternating the lot of the
worker to some extent and assisting en-
plOyerS. will not solve the present acute
unemployment situation and many agree
mentS have been come to during the past
week or two whereby workers have de-
cldcd 10 go on short time or accent less
money in order to avoid a total closing
