STATE MANUFACTURER SURVEY
 LIVING COST AND WAGES

The present >>st of living in the United States is now 65 per cent. above that of the summer of 1914, when the war began, according to the latest monthly report of the National Indust- rial Conference board. This organiza- tion has been making continuous sur veys of changes in the cost of living dur ing the last five years
 The high point in the increase in the cost of living was reached in July last year, when it was 104.5 per cent. above that of July. 1914. There has been a decrease of 19 per cent since last sum mer with the downward movement con- tinuing steadily. Rents and the cost of fuel are the only items which have not shown substantial decreases.
 Through the cooperation of more than 50 retail dealers in six Connecticut cit ies the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut has recorded monthly dur ing the last year changes in the cost of food in this state. The latest reports show that the average decrease in food prices since April. 1920 in the six cities | of the state is 24.9 per cent. or practi- | cally one-fourth. The greatest decrease was 2S per cent, and the smallest drop was 21 per cent, reported from one of l the largest cities in the state.
 In connection with the fall in the cost of living. there have been increases in unemployment and reductions in wages
 A recent survey of 29O establishments
 in 22 states, having SOP ,63O employees ir i 1920 showed a decrease of 4S per cent
 in employment and an average reduction
 in wages of 8 per cent.
 Twenty-siN factor es. with 46.otO em ployes in 1920, in Connecticut, were in, cluded in this survey. These. showed ar
 average decrease m employment of 1[ per, cent. and an average wage reduction of 12.1 per cent It will be noted tha
 both for Connecticut and the entire ?: states covered, the average reduction il
 wages was lnucn less than the reduction
 in the cost of living during the same pc
 riod.

The garden beds l wandered by
 One bright and cheerful morn. When l found a new-fledged butterfly
 A-sitting on a thorn \ black and crimson butterfly,
 All doleIul and fOrlorn- I thought that life could have 10 sting
 To infant butterflies, So -aZed on this unhappy thing
 With wonder and surprise. While sadly with his waving wing
 lie wiped hls weeping eyes Said I. What can the matter be?
 Why weeDest thou so sore2 With garden fair and sunlight free
 And flowers in gOOdly store . But he only turned away from me
 And burst into a roar Cried he, My legs are thin and few
 Where once had swarmi Soft. fuzzy fur-a joy to view
 Once kept my body warm. Before these Tapping wing-things grew
 To hamper and deformr' At that outrageous bug I shot The fury of mine eye; Said I, in scorn all burning hot In rage and anger high, i Gou ignominious idiot,
 Those wings were made to fy!" T do not want to fly" said he. 'I only want to sduirm. 70 And he dropped his wings dejectedly, But still hIs voice was firm T do not want 10 hH fly. l want 10 be a wormTS ! O yesterday of unknown lack!

POETRY
MY GYPSY HEART.

There is a gypsy heart in me That loves to dance urcn the green, IL loves the breakers near the sea, And goes stark mad at tambourine. My gypsy heart loves beads and rings And ruffied skirts of brightest reds In spring its song within me sings. In winter time this heart Is dead. In midnight dreams I often dance Upon the streets in some quaint town. Some village. maybe Spain or France. Where people mostly drudge and frown And there is something in my face That makes them cheer with whole
 some glec- I am the snir.S of the place
 There is a gypsy heart in me The winds that sweep the azure heights, The birds that trill upon the bow, The sun that sheds such golden lights Are leading me afar the now. I must be o1f and on the road
 Where dust curls softly toward the
 sky;
 Unless the woods are m- abode.
 My gypsy heart VIII break and die Helen Emmo Maring. in Seattle Post

DECLARE THEIR
 OPPOSITION TO JITNT

Should the j;tney and public service cars be allowed to run in opposition to the trolley companies along parallel lines?" was the question discussed at the monday luncheon of the Norwich Rotary club on Wednesday at the Wau- regan hotel. The general opinion was that the jitneys benefited no one to any great extent and that the trolley com panies needed all the protection that could be given tLsm by the public as they ran on schedule both in summer and in winter.
 Several members of the club express ed themselves as heartily opposed to the jitneys and no one spoke in favor of them. Several mentioned the trouble had with the jitney service some months past and one of the New London Club said that he had ridden to Willimantic in a public service car when the driver raced with another machine, thus endan- gering the life of the passengers in both | machines. He said that the ride cost each of the drivers $100 and costs. 9th CTS spoke of the recklessness with which ] the drivers of the jitneys operate their cars on the highways with no regard for the safety of their passengers or others on the road. "The greatest men, ace on the highway today" was the way one member expressed his opinion of the | jitneys.
 The discussion arose out of the fact that the. public utilities commission is to hold a hearing on this matter in Nor wich on Friday morning. A resolution instructing the public affairs committed
 to the jitneys was unanimously adopt ed

 neys Henry D. Johnson spoke of the

Pink Silk Tights
for Girl AcrObdtS
Representative Says Costumes
Too Tdnse-TO Go Limit
for Substitute.

CHICAGO, Jan. pink tights that
have adorned the graceful figures OF girl
trapeze performers and bareback riders
since Barnum discovered lone" was born
every minute, have been ruled off the
Sawdust ring.
T.. p. Norwood Chicago representative
OF Ringing Brothers and Barnum- Bailey,
confded today that "the greatest show
on earth" had tabooed the silk hablla
ments.
TOO raw" he was asked.
TOO tame" he answered. Don't you
know we're up against 1t to find some
thing to shock the circus ticket buying
public these days. The time has passed
when staid men would come for miles
to see girl in pink tights and call it
diversion. The dear sisters have stolen
our stuff, so we must find something
rev, as the public has absorbed all the
shocks we, can give them
1T is impossible to interest public
that has been gazing on the styles of
women by revealing an attractive human
form. Diaphanous costumes have taken
the kick out Of the circus staff
I'VE have given up trying to get a
rise out of men who are accustomed to
seeing girls promenade down the boule-
ward with their shocking stockings rolled
at the knees, showing them girls in
tights"
Norwood refused to divulge what kind
or lack Of costume will supplant tue
tights.
Il am now Studying the laws OF the
various states to see just how far we
may 60" he said.

Membership Record
of Miners Broken

The membership Of the United Mine
Workers Of America broke all records
IN December. The total paid-up menu
bership for that month was 553,205. In
addition it was estimated at the inter-
national headquarters today that fully
10000 members were exonerated from the
payment OF dues for December, because
of the strikes in Alabama and William
son County, West Virginia, and because
of disability and lack of employment
elsewhere. This would make the total
actual membership approximately 6O0,OOO
When the report for December was
completed, Ellis Searles. editor Of the
nited Mine Workers Journal, pointed
ut that since the total number of actual
bal mine workers is about 10000, the
pal mining industry is now about 20
6er cent unionized.
The highest previous paid-up mem
bership record was 524, 636 in October,
1919.
