100000 Chinese people can receive sci

been made OF the middle schools OF
China. In 1913 OF the institutions re-
porting, there are 38,095 students. and
of these 1883 stated that they were
planning to study medicine. Since this

considerably larger

According to calculations of the U. $. Bureau of Labor Statistics, con tract miners as a result of the recent anthracite wage award are making more money than blacksmiths in man. ufacturing shops situated in fifteen out of seventeen cities, more than boilermakers in twenty-six out of thirty cities, more than electrotype finishers in twenty-five out of. thirty two cities, and more than book and job competitors in forty cities. The government tables are based on actual hourly earnings in twenty-two repre- sentative collieries.
 According to the tabulated figures, anthracite employees taken as a whole, including boys, are now getting 1886 per cent more than they did in the period 1912-1914. Hourly earnings are now 114.5 per cent above the ba- sis established in 1916, and are 17.4 per cent above last years rates. The miners are now asking that addition ai HiSi SooSo o1 10 pSl SCliI oll SolleI eiSt rates and IA per cent on considera- tion rates be given together with $6 as the minimum for adult day labor.
 According to these figures, day men inside and outside who were getting from $1.5O to $500 per day of nine hours in 1912-1916 are now getting from $4.20 to $5.96 for eight hours.
 Boys who got from 90 cents to $1.4O per day of nine hours are now getting from $2.45 to $2.96 for eight hours.
 Inside workers as a whole are now receiving on an hourly basis 1928 per cent more than in pre-war times, Ill per cent more than in 1916 and I'll per cent more than last year.
 Outside workers as a whole, exclu- sive of breaker employees, are get ting 1875 per cent more than in the pre-war period, 1929 per cent more than in 1916, and 1894 per cent more than last year.
 Breaker employees, mostly boys are getting 170.5 per cent more than in pre-war years, 1929 per cent more than in 1916, and 15.8 per cent more than last year.
 The contract miner, whose hourly

earnings averaged 42.5 cents under the agreement in force when the European war began, averages 99.2 cents per hour under the new sched ule.
 This average of 99.2 cents, as given by the governments is interesting as compared with wage scales for skilled trades also reported by the govern ment in the same issue of the Monthly Labor Review, pages 699-716.
 According to the government the contract miner is averaging more per hour than do the blacksmiths in man. ufacturing shops situated in fifteen out of seventeen cities for which fig ures are given. In these fifteen cit ies blacksmiths' wages run from 75 cents to 90 cents.
 The contract miner averages a higher hourly rate than do boiler mak- CTS in twenty-six out of thirty cities covered. Boiler makers in Philadel- phia manufacturing and jobbing shops get from 80 to 90 cents.
 Book and job compositors-not lino- type; operators-in forty cities, ac- cording to the government, do not get as much per hour as the contract miner. The government finds the rate in Philadelphia for this work to be 93.8 cents foT book and job work and 81.3 cents for newspaper compos- itors on day work.
 In twenty-five out of thirty-two cities electrotype finishers and mold CTS get less than does the contract miner.
 Wages of machinists in thirty-five cities have been compiled by the gov ernment. In only four cities do skill ed machinists get more than does the contract miner and in three cases they get but eight-tenths of a cent pei hours more. In Philadelphia this class of machinists will average 80 cents, the Bureau of Labor Statistics finds.
 Out of thirty-four cities there are but three in which holders get as much as or more than the contract miner. In Pittsburg, home of the iron industry, iron holders get 93.S cents per hour.

NEWS NOTES FROM HEADQUARTERS OF
 AMERICAN LEGION

In the past year the American Legion doubled in membership and added 3,417 posts, according to Ma tional Headquarters. All records for growth, however, were broken by the Women's Auxiliary, which started the year 1920 with 5000 members and finished with an enrolment of 100000 and total of 1895 units. All state departments registered substantial gains and new posts were formed in the following foreign countries: Ar genuine Republic, Belgium, Chili, China, Guatemala, Japan, Poland, Samoa, Santo Domingo and Peru.
 Checks received by the national treasurer of the American Legion to provide for the adoption of French war orphans now totals $4,650. This amount is enough to cares for sixty two orphans for a period of one year. The greater part of the adoptions was made by Legion posts in many parts of the country but a number of in dividuals contributed.
 Lieut.. Colonel B. c. Goss, a Cleve land member of the American Legion, has suggested the use of toxic gas grenades as a police weapon in Cleve lands fight against banditry and crime. Circular letters urging all of the 1000 Legion members in the country to join the police auxiliary have been issued from headquarters following the acceptance by Mayor w. S. Fitzgerald of the Legion's offer of assistance.
 q thought I had a regular un- usual name," said F. w. Galbraith, jr., National Commander of the Amer ican Legion "until I received a letter from another F. w. Galbraith, Jr., member of Morristown Post No. 2 of the Legion at Atlanta, Ga" As far as is known, the two Legionnaires are not related.
 Through the efforts of the Ameri- can Legion, United Spanish War Vet erans, Grand Army of the Republic and citizens of Hoquiam, Wash, a large three story American Veterans Building, a memorial to fighting men of all wars, has just been completed in that city. The building includes a large lodge and hall room, library, ladies rest room, lounge room and space on the ground floor for bank.
 In accordance with the national era of good feeling between American Legion and Organized Labor, the Gen. tral Trades and Labor Union of East St. Louis, H., one of the strongest labor bodies in the country, has pass ed a resolution placing the organiza- tion on record as being entirely in harmony with the Legion's national policies and recommending that all it's members, who are eligible, affiliate with the Legion.

Quit olu lO concerts. There's nothing but vanity and vexation of spirit about an enter tainment of that kind. It's advertised to start at certain hour, say eight o'clock, and you are credulous enough to think that the specifications will be lived up to. You break hame strap to get there In time, and when you ar rive, at ten minutes to eight, you find you're the first one there. You sit around, waiting for an hour or two, and people walk on your feet and sit down on your hat and make things unpleas- ant as possible.
 By the time the curtain goes up, you are wishing you had possessed sense enough to stay at home. But, be- ing there, and having paid for the priv ilege, you determine to hold her nozzle agin the bank, as 1t were.

If you turn around and dot him In the eye, you will be elected from the building.
 "Then you will find that the woman with shrill, carrying voice, who has heard better singers sits right in front of you. and she keeps on talking in a maddening way. The last concert l attended had a fine contralto who sang some stem-winding songs of the kind we all like. But the woman with the shrill voice was right in front of me, and I could hear her saying: Really, you should hear Margaret Reyes or Christine Miller sing that selection; this woman Is impossible as vocal ist.'
 "Then a man with hectic voice and name that he imported without paying duty on 1t, stood up and whin- nied like doggone zebra, and we were expected to believe that he was sing ing a Neapolitan song. I never heard anything that filed my nerves the way that voice did. It recalled the halcyon days when my father used to sharpen a bucksaw with rasp. We'll, when he finished his first number, the ap- plause was frantic, and he reared up and did it all over again. Then the applause was louder than ever, and he whinnied something else. They kept that blamed pirate there for half an hour, and I don't know when suf- fered so much.
 "The hall was overloaded, and was damned in the middle of a row of seats so couldn't get out without climbing over number of ladies and gentlemen. We were kept there for three hours, and when I got out I swore by my Sunday hat I'd never go to another public concert.
 "Next day I bought photograph and lot of records of the kind like, and now enjoy my music. start 1t when I get ready, and quit when I am tired. No punk singers are encored. No Windy Jims introduce the singers with a few pertinent remarks. If singer displeases me, stop the ma chine and throw the record into the alley. You'd better tear up your con- cert ticket and come and hear my mu- sic mill."

 Thanks to members of the Ameri- can Legion post at East Las Vegas, N. M., for their efforts to aid sick and wounded veterans were voiced in a letter to the American Legion Weekly from disabled ex-service men of Valmora Industrial Sanatorium, N M.
 Legionnaires in New Orleans, La have something to say in maintaining law and order in that city. The new superintendent of police, judge of the First City Criminal Court, three as sistant district attorneys and three assistant city attorneys are members of local posts of the Legion.
 Recognizing the value of a live American Legion post to a commun- ity, the civic authorities of Dubois, Pa., have not only aided the local post by speaking a good word for it but also have arranged for the municipal ity to pay four-fifths of the rent on the posts club rooms.
 
 A true American Legion romance eliminated in the marriage of Roy E. Patrick and Miss Estelle Agans, both charter members of the Fred erick Phillips Post, of Council Grove, Kas. To be surel that the ceremony was sufficiently Legionnaire, the ser vices of a minister, also a charter member of the post, were obtained.
 
 More than two thousand compensa- tion claims of former service men were taken up by the Service Section of the Massachusetts Department of the American Legion during the last year. The same section expedited the settlement by the government of 1,500 cases with the Federal Board for Vo- cational Education and 1,400 claims with the Bureau of War Risk Insur- ance. Other veterans affairs handled were allotments and allowances, Lib erty bonds, retainer and travel pay, lost discharges, baggage and clothing and state bonuses. Free notary ser vice was also provided for 6,O00 for mer service men, regardless of Legion membership.
