MISSOURI IS SAFE
Gov. Hyde, Chairman Glenn
ents apd Conrad Mann Say
G. 0. P. Sure of Victory.

Assurance was given President
souri, for the republican party are
good. and that the party organization
is entrenching itself strongly pre-
paratory to entering into the 1924
national campaign.
For nearly three-quarters of an
hour this morning President Coolidge
was in conference with Gov. Arthur
NJ. Hyde of Missouri, DR.. Ed B. Glenn
ents, republican state chairman for
that state, and Conrad Mann, a mem
Der of the executive committee of
the republican state committee.
Politics Main Topic.
Although a variety of subjects
were discussed, it was intimated aft
erward that matters politically in
Missouri composed the major part
Of the conversation.
There has been great activity on
the part of the republican leaders
to strengthen their forces since the
elections last November and consid-
erable success has been met. il was
learned in smoothing out existing
differences among some of the work
ers in various parts of the state.
DR.. Clements, who Is directing the
organization work there, said that
he has been holding series of
county and district meetings for the
party workers for several months and
that he fully expects to have a solid
and united party organization when
the time comes to start the next cam
paign.
Patronage Not Discussed.
These three Missouri leaders. after
leaving President Coolidge, were en-
phatic in saying that the question
of future patronage was not brought
up during the conference. They did
say that the republicans of Missouri,
especially those in st. Louis, are
making an active attempt to bring
the republican national convention to
st. Louis next summer. 1t was said
also that the matter of prohibition
enforcement was touched upon.
Gov. Hyde said state and city au-
thorities are cooperating in every
way possible to enforce the Volstead
act and will continue to do 80.

Age of the Earth.
From the Day ton News

From the Dayton News
There seems TO be an eternal and con :
tlnuous struggle among scientists to fig
ure out the age of the earth. The annual
report of the Smithsonian Institution
which is just made public gives as it's
opinion that the universe is three billion
years old, which would seem to estab-
lish a record that not only exceeds all
previous guesses hazarded along this
line but which, moreover, sets standard
for future jugglers with figures to shoot
at as they attempt TO outdo their prede-
cessors. 1t Is not quite clear to most
people why II is so necessary TO deter
mine the age OF the earth.
Here and there new evidences are un-
covered by expeditions which have been
excayating tombs and ancient ruins for
the purposes of studying antiquity. But
even the most interesting discoveries do
not take the present age back more than
a few thousand years at best, and what
ever took place before that period per-
force must be largely matter of con-
lecture. And since so dense mystery be-
clouds ancient history, it appears that
science might well afford to give more
attention to modern problems and their
development.

PUBLIC FAILS TO CUT

Was Taken Of Materials in
New York City.

NEW YORK, September 3.-De-
spite the so-called buyers strike"
which began late in April. the cost
of building construction in New York
has been reduced only slightly since,
and a comparison of the figures of
September 1 and of April % is dis
appointing. says the current Dow
Service Daily Building Reports.
What was gained by the building
public in lower prices of materials
was lost in higher wages paid to
labor, the report says, adding that
labor has become more plentiful for
the type of construction work likely
to proceed this fall and winter
Nearly all classes of building workers
obtained wage increases in the spring
and summer.
The report cites the following rates
of wages prevailing on March II, as
compared with those of September l.,
as notable examples of increases
Hodcarriers now get $11 an hour as
against STE cents. laborers, S71h to
