From point OF variety the show
was more than interesting yesterday
Everything in horse flesh from a
small pie-bald Shetland pony to a
Percheron weighing close to a ton,
were exhibited and judged. There
were several excellent jumping
classes.
II was remarked by many OF the
judges that Wilmington has the
nucleus Of afine horse show. II the
suggestion of Charles r. Hamilton.
of Devon. Pa, is acted upon by the
State Fair Association and the horse
show committee, Wilmington and
vicinity may have horse show
about the middle of May. This would
be between the Devon horse show
and the Washington, ID. c.. show.
Mr.. Hamilton was judge OF the har-
ness horses and harness ponies al
the show this year. He is a breeder
OF many fine horses.
Mr.. Hamilton has urged that the
Chamber OF Commerce and business
men in general get back Of the show.
A show in May would not only bring
trade TO the hotels and business men
of the city, but would boost the en-
tire community in general Mr..
Hamilton thinks May is a good time

breeders are anxious TO get out with

number of workers than was sup
posed.
The average weekly earning ca
pacity is now approximately the same
as a year ago for a majority of those
employed in the following industries:
Manufacture of automobiles. cotton.
hosiery and underwear. mems cloth
ing, leather, boots and shoes. paper
and cigars.
This report Is based on returns from
large numbers of plants in all sections
of the country and cannot be taken TO
apply TO the earnings of workers in
any single locality or establishment.
The reports show a material reduc-
ton. however. in the average earnings
of workers ii the ircn and steel indus
try, in the building and repair OF cars
and in tine manufacture of silk. A year
ago the average weekly earning capac-
ity in these industries was s32. The av-
erage is now s2i, or more in line with
the earning capacity of workers in In
dustry in general.
One of the basis of the returns to the
Labor Department, the worker in New
York now is able to buy for approxi-
mately rs cents articles which a year
ago cost him 81. In general, the same
increase in purchasing power has been
gained throughout the entire country.
In some localities. the degree of pur-
chasing power shows a slightly greater
increase. In others 1t is slightly smaller
than in New York. Prices vary slightly.
according to the locality and the extent
of unemployment.
Whether the cost of living will con-
tinue to decline during the next few
months is a matter of controversy
among Government officials. Whole
sale prices during the last few weeks
have shown a material increase for the
first time since the middle of 1920. but
retail food prices are still going down.
The same is true Of the general cost of
living. computed to include not only
