LABOR SITUATION
!. NOT AS DISTURBING
AS IT APPEARS TO Be
Secretary of Labor Davis
Views Field OptimisticalIy
and Gives Figures.
STATUS OF BREAD WINNERS

| ny Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
Washington. Sept. 14.-Those who
are disturbed over the b,735,000 un-
/ employed of today. overlook that in
1914 there were 100000 out Of work
larger percentage Of whom were
men and actual bread-winners than in
| the present unemployed. Secretary
Davis said today, in a statement.
Declaring that the country has just
passed through a period when every
effort was made TO induce women and
others who had not worked for wage
or salaries before to work and save
starving Europe Mr.. Davis said pres
ent unemployment figures include
great numbers of persons upon whose
earnings no one actually is depen-
dent.
While we have our unemployed.
| let us not forget the 100000 who
are still at work." the statement said.
"A further encouraging fact is that
$500. 900 600 is now available about the
country in the form OF bonds already
issued or appropriated by the State
county and municipal governments
for public works. Undoubtedly this
/ will be organized inteliigently.'
Signs of Recovery.
Positive signs of business recovery
have been furnished by the commits
sioner of labor statistics, Secretary
Davis declared, adding:
"Some of these signs have an as
pect of their own. | put them out for
others 70 interpret as they please. But
one must have his head very much in
the air, these days. not to notice the
growing prevalence of silk hosiery
and the use of silks in general.
THE statement has been constantly
made in the news and in the editorial
columns of the newspapers that the
Department of Labor has reported
5,735 900 men as being out OF work
The Department of Labor has reported
no such thing. 1t did report that ac-
cording to the best estimate that could
be made there are $3.50 fewer men
women and children on the payrolls
than there were in March, 1920. There
is a difference with distinction. II
is very different matter from saying
that there are 5.735 600 men unem-
ployed.
Not All Are Bread Winners.
Here is one salient fact to be KEEP
in mind: Probably not more than Z
third of these 5,7S5, 600 are the prin-
cipal tSead-winners of the family.
Taking all the families of tn,
United States, there are. on the aver
age, over two bread-winners TO every
family. If one of these bread-winneri
Is unemployed. it seriously cripples
but it does not necessarily impover
ish, the family. Mind you. 1 am no
saying that there is not at this tim'
considerable actual suffering among
our people; nor that this winter MAJ
not bring more suffering unless some
thing intelligent and effective is done {,
relieve the situation. am simply call
ing attention to the fact that whii
unemployment today is a grave matter
there are nevertheless about ten o
twelve millions of our people at work
and comparatively few families hav
had the only bread-winners put on
of job"
Discussing efforts to relieve the sit
uation, Secretary Davis said that tn
employment service of the Depart
ment of Labor was doing all it coul,
to place workers in positions.

AWAIT FEDERAL ACTION
ON UNEMPLOYMENT
Mayor Harvey Seeking Infor-
nation on Relief for
JobIess Men.

Mayor Leroy Harvey is awaiting
with keen interest development at the
conference to be held in Washington
next week at the call of President
Harding to consider the unemployment
situation throughout the country and
ways and means of helping the men
who have been unable to get work.
The mayor is interested in this meet
ing. because at the present time he has
under consideration the question of
unemployment in this city and the
City Advisory Board has discussed
the possibility OF Wilmington being
called upon this winter to give assis-
tance TO johiess men 10 keep them and
their families from starvation.
Mayor Harvey is also awaiting re-
plies TO inquiries he has sent to offi-
cials Of several other cities to learn
what they are doing along this line.
He is open to suggestion from any
citizen who may have devised a plan
for the relief Of the needy for he is
anxious TO compile all the informa-
ton obtainable on the subject.
While realizing that canditions may
improve to such an extent that IL may
not be necessary for the city 10 take
any action. Mayor Harvey and other
officials are, however alive to the
seriousness OF the situation and they
are also awake to the fact that it Will
require prompt and decisive action in
the event citizens of Wilmington are
confronted with serious want during
the winter months. For this reason
they are making their plans now. Sc
fs,s-
gency.
They are still in doubt as to whether
it would be the part of wisdom for
the city to make an appropriation OF
a fat sum for distribution among the
various charitable organizations foI
the relief OF the needy, or whether the
city should undertake the task itself
after placing the necessary money
at the disposal Of some committee or
commission cheated for this special
purpose. Thi@ matter viii be deter
mined largely by what the mayor
learns CT the plans being made in other
cities and alsol by what the conditions
indicate should be necessary later ir
the season.
May Provide Public Work.
II is understood that various con-
ferences held today in which the chair
man Of the finance committee of Coun-
Gil. the city solicitor, the mayor and
the Street and Sewer commissioners
figured, are likely 10 lead 10 the
presentation TO council of a plan for
carrying on public work during the
coming winter in order to give work
10 portion of the unemployed labor
that is expected TO be found.
Urder the conditions. none of those
involved would talk for publication
but il is probable that action will
shortly be taken by Council if the de
tails can be arranged.

INA CLAIRE FEATURED.

Ina Claires the Belasco stage star, will be seen in pictures Monday and Tuesday at the Ideal theatre in Pol ly With Past,' adapted by June Ma this from the theatrical success by George Middleton and Guy Bolton.
 It was this play which brought Miss Claire, for nearly year now engaged in enacting the principal role in The Gold Diggers,' at the Lyceum Theatre, New York, to stardom. The story has to do with a young girl, come from the country to study for the operatic stage but forced by circumstances fin ally to be housemaid. There the friends of Rex Van Zile, in an effort to interest that impressionable young man from another woman they detest, prevail upon Polly Sharon to assume a past of an interestingly brilliont hue. And there properly-or perhaps inn properly-the story really begins.

TOWNSHIP POSTED
 AGAINST DIPPING

Opponents of cattle dipping or spraying gathered yesterday at the Williams vat in Pierce Creek town ship, and again no cattle were brought in compliance with government re- quirements. Dr. Allen W. Rice, fed eral inspector, remained at the vat until about 11:30 and then returned to Conway. No disposition to resort to violence was shown by the crowd of about 30 men who stayed near the vat until he departed.
 Warnings against compliance with the dipping order have been posted in that township, it was said, and citi- zens told to keep their cows without dipping. Some opposition also has de- veloped in Wilson township, accord ing to County Judge E. L. Smith. No reports of disturbances had been re- ceived at the office of Sheriff w. Nj. Brady today.
 Dr. Rice said last night that time probably will be allowed for opposition to the dipping order to wear away, when he hopes to resume work on schedule

Then. because I wouldn't stop talking, they hit me with a club, and the brutes showed me into the cell. Oh, but won't give them such a law suit as never was heard of before."
 Then I can't get you out" said Mrs. Bowser.
 "No, ma'am you can't, but you must not worry. 1 will be home about nine o'clock, headed by a brass band. You can arrange about the band, If you want to-"
 Mir. Bowser was rather quiet all night long. That is, he didn't protest and threaten only once every fifteen minutes. He was brought out of his cell when court opened. He smiled at the judge, but there was no returned smile. The officer told how he saw the boy stealing and he said there was a scuff1e, because the boy tried to bite his hand. He told of MT. Bowser's in reference, and then MT. Bowser him. self was called to stand up All he said was;
 He was using the boy in a brutal manner, and l felt called upon to in- terfere."
 "Oh, you did, eh?" remarked the judge. You are fined $50, or thirty days in jail"
 There were friends of MT. Bowser there who lent him the money, and he paid the fine and started for home. When he reached It he had something to say to Mrs. Bowser and 1t was:

Cadmium Found in Zinc Ores.

Cadmium, metallic element discov- cred in 1877 by Stromeyer, Is not found native, but occurs as the sul- phide in the mineral greenockite, and in association with zinc ores. Green ockite Is found in Bohemia and in Hungary, and also in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, but In too small quan- titles to be of commercial importance. Cadmium Is a constituent of most zinc ores. and as it Is more volatile than zinc 1t passes over first, in the reduc- tion of such ores, as cadmium oxide. This is collected, mixed with charcoal, and the mixture heated In iron tubes, from which the cadmium distills over in more or less impure state. In order to purify 1t, the metal Is redis- titled and the product dissolved in hydrochloric acid, from which solution metallic cadmium is precipitated with zinc. Most of the cadmium of com merce comes from Silesia, but small quantities are produced in the Joplin (Mo) district

First Practical Reaper-

Cyrus H. Mccormick made the first successful reaper. He built it as a boy without his fathers knowing 1t and tried 1t out one fall. It was not entirely a success, but he made some changes and tried 1t again Finally in 1881 he made his first successful reaper, says Farm and Preside. He Kept on making Improvements and in 1894 had a machine good enough to patent. He offered them for sale for $30 apiece, but no one would buy. Finally in 1889 he invited a lot of farmers to see it work. r. cut two acres an hour. That WHS really wonderful in those days, but still no one would buy il. The next year, 1S4O, man at Egypt, Va, bought the first machine and paid $3O for it It worked, and faith in the new invention began to spread.

RESUME R0ADWORK
 IN CONWAY COUNTY
(Morrilton Democrat)

NlOl liCOli bChioSAoSJ
 Fifty-two miles of hard surfaced roads will be completed within 60 days according to the contractors.
 On account of the poor markets the road work in the county has been on a standstill, but contractors on three of the districts received orders Tuesday to proceed with the work.
 Road No. 2, east and west, is we'll under way and in a few days two more coats of rock and the asphalt top will be put on. w. c. Horn has the grading and rock contract and is putting on 1arge crews on both ends. The road will run from the Pope coun- ty line through Conway county to the Faulkner county line, distance of 2S miles. Pat Coniey has the hard sur fact contract and will begin work at once, according to w. c. Horn. This road will be completed in 60 days.
 Road No. 3, running from the bridge at the river to the Perry county line, about 12 miles, will be completed in 30 days. This is a gravel road and when completed will be one of the best of it's kind in the state.
 Work on road No. 1, the Cleveland road, running north about B miles, was resumed Tuesday and the work will be rushed as rapidly as possible. The hard surface will be put on by the Mobley Construction Company.
 This is one of the most important roads in the county as it covers some of the best farming lands in the coun- ty and is used by great many pco- pie who come to Morrilton from the northern counties. The hard surface will probably be complete in so days.
