WHAT do you think, Nancy and
" Nick found when they reached
the little house?
The Green Shoes! Yes, there they
were, and beside them, smiling cat
of his funny nice little eyes was the
Magical Mushroom.
II thought I'd fool you bit this
time" he said. Il wondered if you
had enough perseverance to Climb
yhen you didn't find the shoes on
the ground"
You're ever so nice, Mr.. Mush-
room," said Nancy. Were allowed
to climb now, since Daddy nailed
the house all nice and tight and put
in some new boards. When we told
him that it wasn't house at all,
but a magical elevator that went up
into the sky among the clouds, and
even up to the stars sometimes, he
said he thought he'd better stop the
leaks or We might fall through"
Where are you going nowp"
asked the Mushroom.
"Buskins said that some day he
would take up to the Land of Run
away Feathers" answered Nick,

peared from nowhere at all. "I'm
ready. Want to come along, Mr..
Mushroom"
The Mushroom said he'd be glad
to, having few minutes to spare
from the Fairy Queens work.
Buskins moved the iron handle,
and soon all four were being lifted
into the wonderful realm called the
Land of Up-in-the-Air."
They passed the Land of List

they passed "Soap Bubble Land

A THOUGHT For TO-DAY.

For thou hast trusted in thy wick
edness: thou hast said, None seeth
me. Therefore shall evil come upon
thee; thou shalt not know from
whence it comethy.-Isaiah 47:10-11.
Courage, the highest gift, that scorns
to bend
To mean devices for a sordid end.
Courage, an independent spark from
heavens high throne,
By which the soul stands raised, tri-
umphant, high, alone;
Great in itself, not praises of the
crowd,
Above all vice, it stoops not to be
proud.

establishments. On their
payrolls they had:
9,098,119 wage earners.
1,447,761 salaried employees.
270,003 proprietors and firm men,
bers.
The total value or selling price of
all manufactured products was $685.
.427825, 900. From this, subtract
.$37,3SO, 124, 600, the value of mate
rails used in manufacturing. The bal
ance was spent like this:
Wages, $1O,545,9 $685. 900.
Salaries, $2,893,O46, 600.
This leaves latter paying for ma
terials, wages and salaries) $11,
COS, 750,0
! Out of this came overhead expens-
es, including taxes, rent, depreciation
funds and interest on loans. What
was left went as profits on investment
of $44,776,0O6,OOO which enormous
figure was the combined capitaliza-
ton of all manufacturing establish
ments in 1919.
Bringing 1919 manufacturing down
to small figures, out of every 1924
received in sale of products, 1914
went for raw and other materials,
S105 for wages, $29 for salaries, leav-
ling SIG for taxes, depreciation, rent
and all other overhead, also profits.
1t is obvious that, in manufacturing
neither wages nor profits were, on
the average and excluding exceptions,
as great as has been generally be-
lieved.
1t looks big on paper, but the fig
/ ures were in terms of inflated dol
lars-dollars of decreased buying
power.
Between 1914 and 1919, manufac-
turing increased it number of wage
earners 20 per cent and the number
of salaried employees SO per cent. In
the trip back to normal production,
this explains much of the unemploy-

he was also able ~ prove that the two
magnetic poles were at unequal
depths IN the earth.
In completion OF forty years of re-

Professor See declared that the cause

ether waves considerably longer than
those Of light and heat, and. he as
