lence done Baxter, and was under the
impression that the original report l
made was true.' said the witness. Asked
how the pantryman had assaulted Capt
Miles. DR.. Farquar said that he was told
Baxter hit the captain on the ankle.
Describing Baxter's actions from the
first day they were called to his atten-
ton, on June 81, until he died on June
25, DIR. Farquar said: II was called on
June 81 to see a man supposed to be in
convulsions. found he was apparently
unconscious. His right cheek was bloody.
His pulse, respiration and temperature
were normal. found that he was per-
fectly conscious and could answer all
questions correctly. I gave him no medi-
cine, but ordered him to remain in bed

was returned to the chief stewards de-
partment, apparently well.

DR.. Farquar said he believed Baxter
was used to morphine because he quieted
down after an injection of, this drug.
The surgeon denied that he had signed

He came to us ten years ago. and
at first we thought his lack OF hair might
be due to some Illness, or perhaps grief,
and we tried all sorts OF hair tohics.
but nothing did any good. And the
more we finally tried TO raise hair on
him the more unworthy he seemed to
think himself. Finally we found he
was Mexican dog. or at least part

much hair.
THE only time Tiny ever seemed
happy was last year when we took in
crippled dog that had peen clipped

Tiny was happy for two weeks. but
when the hair started growing out on

Decided Drift Toward
Sterilization.

Wages throughout the country have
become more stabilized and are now
about II per cent. above the figures OF

mary of industrial economic conditions
issued by the national conference board
yesterday.
Although wage reductions are re-
ported in many parts Of the country"
says the boards bulletin, land some of
them are very considerable, neverthe-
less there are a sufficient number of
wage increases to offset these de-
creases. - Wage changes which
have been made in the last few months
are mainly readjustments with view
Of leveling up or leveling down wages
to a general standard in industry. In
most lines of industry relative wage
stabilization has apparently been
reached"
A summary of wage changes by
months shows fifty-four reductions and
nine increases April 49, to May Is;
twenty-three reductions and twenty-six
increases May 10 to June 49, twenty
five reductions and twenty-one in
creases June Is to July 15. and seven
reductions and eight increases, July 10

The hourly wage of all wage earners
ranged from 24.3 cents in July. 1914. up
to 621 cents in September, l92o; then
down to 482 cents in January this year.
Hourly earnings of all male skilled
