Boys Age SnueS Him
From Pen Term BY
CurCuit Judge Kelly

His youth and the reluctance of
Judge Percy Kelly, of department
No. of the circuit court, saved
George M, Spiker, 10 years old,
from being sentenced this morning
to the penitentiary on the applica-
tion of District Attorney Carson TO
have his parole revoked. because
Spiker on July 3 pleaded guilty ie
forging check for 1913 at the
Gale & Co. store with which to
buy a pair of shoes and suit oi
underwear.
With tears streaming down his
face the boy told his story to the
Judge this morning of how he had
driven a truck for three months,
while on parole for forging checks
last September, and paid back the
entire sum of $l10 while earni6g
$40 a month.
He stated that afterwards he
went to Turner, working in the
sawmill but was later laid off and
went to cutting wood ' 18th part
ner. His partner, according to
Spiker, skipped out with the mon
ey for their board and left the en-

On Decline;
Clothing Up
Dollar of Today Worth
Sixty Cents Less Tn
Purchasing Power
Than In Year 1914

New York, July 23.-Clothing
with an average increase in price
of nine-tenths of one per cent. was
the only necessity that went ur
during the month of June, accord
ing to statistics covering the en-
tire United States, made public to-
day by the National Industrial
conference board.
Food was the only item that
went down, the decrease being fig
ured at three-tenths of one pei
cent. All other items remained
stationary. The decrease in the
average living cost of typical
wage earner's family for the
month was figured at two-tenths
of one per cent.
The statistics showed the de-
crease of living costs during the
year ended July / amounted to 21
per cent. Counting the reductions
up to July 1, however, living costs
still show net increase of G1 per
cent over those of July /, 1914.
Simply stated, the latter fact
means that whatever yon can buy
for $1.61 today, yon could have
had for an even dollar in J 81 4, or
unless your income equals now
$1.61 for every dollar earned in
1914 you are not even with the
board.

known of no independent company
in the world to compare with the
staff of the Pacific company. He
said that he could not conceive of
any independent institution that
would use. If free from all outside
control and direction as to how its
work should be done, such large
force of engineers.
The major scanned the other or
ganization charts of the company,
and as a general result contended
that the company was top heavy
with officials, provided they were
permitted to use the ordinary dis
erection and executive sense which
would be expected of engineers
employed by concerns which were
operating with the idea of the
maximum of efficiency and tho
minimum Of overhead and operat-
ing expense.
The major drew from his obser-
Eati0Hs the preumption that the
interrelation of the Pacific com
pany with the American Telegraph
& Telephone company and the re-
latioas Of that with the Western
Electric had much to do with the
overlooking Of the Pacific engi-
neering staff.
