UNEMPLOYMENT
VANISHING

A bulletin issued by the national
industrial conference board, which
states that unemployment has al
most entirely disappeared, comes
as welcome surprise. So recent
has been the widespread unem-
ployment due to the business re-
adjustment that few looked for
SO marked improvement this soon.
The survey reports labor short
ages in the Colorado and Arizona
mining regions, in the Oklahoma
oil fields, in the states of Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
western Pennsylvania, in New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and
to some extent in North Carolina.
So rapidly have the shortages been
mounting in number that the board
predicts continually increasing diff
ficulties will be experienced in the
next few months. This is tangible
evidence of the revival of business
which would have attained greater
proportions had there not been such
extensive voluntary abstention from
labor.
There is no more accurate in
dex of returning prosperity than
the demand for labor. The public
wants the product of labor. So long
as labor produces goods at price
consumers can pay there is hardly
any end to the demand. Following
the way prices went to the point
where consumption was discouraged
and in consequence there was what
was termed buyers strike"
There has been a recession and con-
sumers have been tempted to re-
sumo buying, because needs must
be supplied and in addition by the
belief that there will not be further
decline at present. Preparations to
meet this altered attitude on the
part of consumers have caused the
increased demand for labor. 1t will
continue so long as consumers feel
that they are given a dollars worth
of value for every dollar expended.
The lower cost of production
the greater consumption and with it
all the greater prosperity of the
country. With immigration re-
stricted there is no good reason why
every person who wants work
should not have it in the returning
tide of activity which is already so
clearly manifest.

RED TAPE
VS. TWINE-

During the Wilson administrators
Washington became known as "the
city of endless red tape" To di-
vorce it from this unenviable repu-
tation was one of the biggest tasks
faced by the Harding administra-
ton. But it has been accomplished.
To the postoffice department goes
the credit.
Irvine used by the postoffice de-
partment now totals 100000 miles a
year, eclipsing the mileage record
set by red tape in the Democratic
administrators halcyon days. Nor
is the governments newly-acquired
reputation as a gobbler of Irvine
likely to be lost soon.
Not only is enough Irvine con-
sumed annually by the postoffice
department to reach around the
earth 80 times at the equator, but
after the globe has been securely
tied in that manner there will be
sufficient left to anchor Pixies Peak
to Washington with 10 Irvine
strand strung from Washington to
Colorado by way of Marion, Ohio,
and looping in Orlando, Florida, on
the return to the capital.

TAKING QUESTIONS
TO PEOPLE

In his talk to representatives of
agriculture in behalf of the ship
subsidy President Harding reminded
his hearers that anything which is
overwhelmingly of interest to one
group of our citizenry could not
help being beneficial to all. If one
group is prosperous the prosperity
is shared in some degree by all
other groups. If merchant
marine would prove of benefit to
manufacturers it would also profit
the farmer.
In carrying the question to the
public by means of such conferences
Presiden Harding is pursuing a wise
policy. He wants the people to
understand the proposition as he
sees it. It is a polite course and
such as should result in decision
which will benefit the country.

VARIED PROGRAM OF
UNIVERSITY CLUbMEN
The Philippines, Vanishing Birds,
Mathematician Fermat, And
Gas Manufacture, Topics
ADDRESSES WERE BRIEF

Such widely differing themes as the
Philippines, our vanishing birds. the
mathematician Fermat, and the Anna
polls gas works were discussed at the
meeting of the University Club in Nc
Dowell Hall, ST. Johns College, last
evening.
In the few minutes allotted to each
speaker. l.. S. Johnston. of the De-
partment of Mathematics OF the Acad-
emy, told a number of interesting ex-
periences that happened to him while
he was living in the Philippines, some
of which were very amusing, and all
of which threw much light upon the
character of the natives. He spoke
also of the climate, and called es-
pecial attention to the extremely
heavy rainfall they have there during
the rainy season.
Professor II. J. Fenton, of the De-
partment of English OF the Academy
spoke on Our Vanishing Bird Life"
and pointed out that, during compara-
lively recent years, six species OF
birds have become practically extinct
and that some 23 additional species
seem to be on the road to extinction
Among the causes for this state of af-
fairs he emphasized the inroads that
civilized man had made upon their
breeding and feeding grounds, and
particularly the indiscriminate killing
of vast numbers of them either for
food or for commercial purposes
mainly to be used us ornaments OF
dress
Professor j. A. Bullard, of the De-
partment of Mathematics of the Acad-
emy, outlined the history of the fam
Gus last theorem of Fermat. This
theorem has baffled all attempts tc
prove it, which have been made by
mathematicians for three centuries
and 1t remains to the present day un-
solved. A prize of $4,000 was offered
some years ago to anyone presenting
satisfactory solution.
Professor Wherrett, of the Depart
ment of Marine Engineering ant
Naval Construction of the Academy
described in detail the processes in
vOlved in the manufacture of gas
The local gas works was taken as an
illustration in explaining the various
steps of the process.

DAY! BEWARE OF THE
JCkERS

April Fools Day will lie here
tomorrow, so watch out for the
practical jokers who will try to
trip you up. and play all sorts of
pranks with the unwary.
Small boys and girls are in
their glory if they can put one
over on a grown up. And in jus
tice to them il must be admitted
that they usually succeed quite
well in making fools of their eld-
ers, If they put their minds TO it
seriously.
The old saying that everybody
likes TO be fooled may be true,
but ii is equally true that no one
likes it when it comes as the re-
suit OF reaching to pick up some
thing that is whisked away from
Leneath ones nose. or stubbing
ones toe in the act of showing
aside harmless looking obstacle.
So be on the lookout tomorrow.
