wrong. The thing to do now is
to come out with that part of
the truth Of which we're sure.
All we need do is tell everyone
we know to be on the lookout for

searching. / want to placard the

Jim turned on me with a face
from which every trace of warmth
and friendliness seemed gone. He
had the look Of remoteness which
I've not seen darkening his eyes
for long months.
You want me to bring young
Hyland back" he said without
a trace Of emotion. That's about
the last thing Jeanne and Pat de-
sire"
They don't countr' cried
wildly.
Nor sneered Jim. "WelI, then,

again.

gasped, staring at Jim as If
some stranger had come to take
the place of my husband there in
our familiar living room. "You
can't mean THAR
II certainly do mean It. The
books are closed. We've avoided
scandal by hairs breadth. Why
should we bring back our black
sheep to disgrace us?" jerked
Jim, in a staccato measure.
I put my hand to my throat.
Dry sobs were forming there
screams, protests. Subconscious-
ly knew this was no time for
Mysteries. Jim hates scenes. I
don't like them any too well my
self. But 1t wouldn't have been
hard to be the chief actor in 4
wild scene then. My voice was
dry and choked when I managed
to ask:
IF your sister Jeanne were &C.
cused Of murder, don't you think
I'd refuse to acknowledge that it
could possibly be true?"
"You might replied Jim
dryly. ''That doesn't make it
right to deny facts. Meals a

would be bad enough at any

despicable Of crimes. It's been

enough alone?"

How can Neal Justify himself

him to himself? Don't you see
that he's temporarily insane-if
he isn't the victim Of robbers

Even Philips enthusiasm was
stirred as Wilbur across the lun-

far he had progressed in his plans.
There were four big concerns
whom he had already interested in
taking over the lease upon tho
erection of a suitable building, and
an acquaintance, an excellent
architect, was at work on the
plans. A score of propositions
were waiting. by any one Of which

LABOR CONDITIONS
 IN FOREIGN LANDS
CUBA

NObA
 Excessive Labor Supply.-Unskill- ed labor in Cuba is receiving from ST to $2 per day, the low rate probably being due to the fact that the labor supply exceeds the demand. West Indians and Southern Europeans, who are temporarily domiciled in Cuba, are also adding to the surplus labor.
 GERMANY
 Decline of Labor Activities.-Con- ditions on the Saxon labor market are deteriorating noticeably, as is shown by the partial or complete shutting down of many industrial plants, and the resultant rapid in- crease in unemployment. Horticul- ture and mining seem to be the only activities which show an appreciable demand for workers. On the con trary, practically every other industry and trade show no demand for work men, while unskilled labor has an overuow of idle hands
 Proclamation to Workmen.-A proclamation has been addressed by the Ministry to the workmen of Sax ony, calling on them to abandon arbi- trary and unreasonable wage demands and other tendencies said to indicate an extreme attitude.

VIRGINIA GOVERNOR URGES SOUND PRISON
 LABOR SYSTEM
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 West Baden, Ind, Nov 2.-Gover- nor E. Lee Trinlsle of Virginia di- rected the attention of the Cover nors' Conference to the need of state cooperation in the solution of the prison labor problem.
 He told of the recent announce ment that some of the largest busi- employed prison albor under contract are withdrawing from the prison field in response to the growing public de- mand for the abolutoin of the con. tract'' system. The labor press of America has been considerable fac tor in this public demand. The prison labor problem constitutes, he said, one of the really big economic social questions we must solve.
 Governor Trinkle urged the de- velopment of the so-called states use" system of employing prison la bor, whereby the state consumes the product and none of the product is placed on the open market in compe- tition with free labor and free indus try.
 Virginia, he said, has co-operated with the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor to develop a system of commodity distribution, as has New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states, but the co-opera- ton of all the states is needed to eliminate the prison contract system and replace it with constructive and economically sound system of prison labor.

WAGE SCALE IS ABOVE YEAR AGO
 IN YORK STATE
But Workers Average Only $a7.41 Weekly and What Can Family
 Man Do On That?

Albany, Nov. 2-Factory workers earnings averagtd $27.41 a week in New York State in September. This is a slight incrtase (2o cents) over the fig ures for August and slight decrease compartd with July. Bearings are now higher than they were throughout last year and $1.70 higher than they were in September a year. ago. The statement was issued by Industrial Commissioner Bernard | Shientag.
 There are conflicting tendencies ill the various industries and sometimes within tht same industry, where one plant re- ports dull business at the same time that another is txpanding operations. On the whole thtre is no indication of a down ward turn. The number of wage rate increases i'll September was relatively small compared with the widespread in crasts i'll Int spring, but n,11nbtr of wor- kers were advanced. The increases were scattering and represent more levell- ing process than general advances. A few decreases were reported, but their influence on the total was neglible.
 Perhaps the most importan decreast was that of almost $4 in weekly tarnings in the wooltn mills. At the same time that big decreases were reporttd i'll some of the wooltn mills, however, tarnings mcraSed III other plants and employment for the industry was slightly higher than in August. In the same way inert were conflicting tendencies in the other textile mills
 In Int cotton mills the average tarn- ings went down, but this was because some of the employtes in the mills that reopened did not earn quite so much as i'll other plants A few plants reported part time, but some of the factories had higher earnings than in July The felt hat and shoe factories and the shops making embrodeiries and faces were quite busy-
