ALGEBRAIc ECONOMICS.

Ys mathemaucians prepare TO mathematize-
whatever that means Here is a little study in eco
Monies. settling the question Of prices and wages.
all FOR yourselves Nc. ordinary graduate Of the
academy Of "3-rs" need even think Of competing.
BY an algebraic formula tested over a period of
20 years Halbert P. Gillette. editor and economist
arrives at two interesting conclusions:
"'First. that prices win have reached their
bottom level in May.
Second. that this May level Of prices and
wages viii be 60 percent above the level Of
1919"
Gillette is one economist who accepts the human
equation as a factor in his calculations. Hence tho
following observations by him interesting as
they unusual:
The average man IS habituated to spend prac-
eically all his income every year.
Borrowed and invested money be effec-
lively used only by spending It.

Wages doubled for American workers between
the years 1859 and 1909. At the same time,
commodity prices remained practically un-
changed. Hence the buying power of average
wages doubled IN that 5O-year period
A panic was averted during the recent slump
IN prices by the fact that the banks could draw
upon the federal reserve for reserve notes in ex-
change for commercial paper.

HUNGER.
I'm gettin' sort O. hungry for the
blossoms on the trees.
An I'd rather like to listen to the
dronin's of the bees,
An I'm loOkin' for the comm now
Of little Jenny Wren
An the mornin' when the bird house
will be occupied again.
I don't feel any older but somehow
it sscens to me
That the winter days are longer than
what once they used to be.
An I find I'm disappointed on those
April mornings when
I'm looking for the sunshine and it
starts to snow again.
On, want to go out fishing and 1
want to tramp the woods
An I want to give up city streets
for leafy neishborhoojs,
An want the grass to walk on
stead of white an marble
floors.
I'm tired Of walls and windows and
L want the wide outdoors

Newport Well Prepared
for Railroad Strike
(Continued from Page u


Newport have their fall stocks now
on hand, and were a strike to be
suddenly declared, it is conserva-
lively estimated supplies would
not be exhausted for month
We're the strike to continue for
two months, and Newport COM
pletely cut off from the outside
world. it is thought people here
would not suffer. Necessities,
such as yeast cakes or salt, might
be exhausted temporarily, but Of
staples Of life, Newport would not
lack.
No definite orders have been re-
ceived from Washington bv Major
Reginald Buzzell of the Vermont
National Guard. Major BuzZell,
however, has furnished the ~ov-
eminent with all necessary data,
which may be utilized in case of
an emergency. 1t is not likely
that Company L will be called
upon to man the trains in event
of a general walk-out although
members of the militia who are
qualified, may be given the oppor-
tunity to enter the service Of the
railroad companies.
Major Buzzell has been in con-
fidential communication with Tie
government authorities at Wash
ington, and he is authorized to
hold his command in complete
readiness in case of any disturb
ancce, which is, of course, out of
the question, in a .Sw-abiding
community like Newport. The
most that the National Guard
company would be called upon to
do, would be to preserve order, it
is believed.
Last week, when the strike was
being considered, the rumor be-
came prevalent among the railroad
workers in Newport that the
Chamber of Commerce had as
sembled and voted to extend no
credit to railroad men, in antici-
patton of a general strike.
The rumor was not based on
fact. and Patsey Daley, chairman
of the publicity committee of the
Newport Advertising Association,
Immediately took measures to
check the furtherance of the false
hood. An advertisement was in
serted in the newspaper, which
read in part as follows:
"There is absolutely no founda-
ton nor fact to such a rumor. The
credit of the railroad men in New
port has always been good, has
been appreciated, and will certain
ly continue to be so.
"The Newport Cooperative Ad-
yertising Association has been
formed for the purpose of selling
practically at cost many of the |
necessities of life. The great OBJ
Ject of the Association and of the |
Newport Chamber of Commerce is |
to create a feeling of confidence |
among railroad men and other |
consumers by selling special ar
ticles at greatly reduced prices"
Railroad men constitute a vital |
and important part Of the popula- |
ton of the City Of Newport, ard |
were a strike to occur, the loss
in employment would be very Sc
11ously felt here. MANY of e
male population would thus be
prevented from earning the sup
port of their families, if the vote
to walk out is carried through on
5.

FINE PICTURE
BOOKED AT PREMIER

Patrons of the Premier theatre
at Newport have a treat in store
for them in Robert G. Vignola S
Paramount picture, "The Passion
ate Pilgrim" today. This is an
adoption of Samuel Merwin's mag
azine story which many of the
Premier patrons may have read.
Mr.. Merwin is always interesting
but when his stories can be given
color on the screen, they are douD-
ly interesting. "The Passionate
Pilgrim" takes IN the adventures
of young newspaper man, whose
truthfulness, whose ability to de-
tail life just as he saw it causes
him to be discharged. How he
finds himself-how love and hap
piness is told in scenes which are
mighty effective in their dramatic
contrasts and conflicts. Rest as
sured "The Passionate Pilgrim"
is rich and rare entertainment.
