Report to President Coolidge
by Secretary Davis Shows
Revival in August

The United States is enjoying a
business revival, despite q national
campaign, for the first time in
many years, according to a report
made to President Coolidge today
by Secretary Of Labor Davis.
The report, based on a summary
Of employment conditions prepared
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
showed an increase in employment
during August, which is character.
lied as evidence of "a considerable
revival"
The official summary covers
5000 establishments, employing ap.
proximately 100000 persons.
Fifty-two different industries are
listed.
The report states:
"The volumne of employment,
that is to say, the number OF men
on the payrolls, increased two.
tenths Of per cent. The volumne
Of payroll increased 81 per cent in
August, as against July figures,
which shows that not only has the
dropping Of names from the payroll
been checked, but. that there il a
considerable increase in the amount
OF work provided for those on the
payroll. Per capita earnings in.
creased 3.5 per cent, which also
shows that work was more steady,
while these figures may seem
small in themselves, yet to com
pare them with the figures for July
where the decrease in volume OF
employment was per cent, and
the payrolls dropped 7.8 per cent
they do not seem so small. Be
tween May and June, the volume
Of employment dropped 6.7 per cent
per capita earnings dropped pei
cent.
so you win see that It took
considerable revival to change a rs
per cent drop in payroll to a 81
per cent increase in payroll in the
brief period Of one month.
This is particularly interesting as
coming in a campaign year. I dc
not remeber noting a business re.
vival in the midst of a campaign
before"

OLD IRoNSIDES' FALLING

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 16.-The
historic old United States frigate
Constitution, known as "Old Iron.
Sides" seems to be doomed to
destruction through lack of ade.
quate upkeep, as she lies at her
dock at the Boston Navy Yard.
The last Congress failed to ap.
propriate 100000 for the needed
repairs to preserve this venerable
relic Of early American naval his.
tory under the bill introduced by
Senator Lodge.
F. l.. Drew, mechanical engi.
neer at the navy yard, says that
the leaks in her hull allow two
feet of water to enter it each
week, which has to be pumped
out. THE hull is so rotten today"
he says, that 1t is doubtful If
Congress can act quickly enough

FOREIGN DEBT
COMMISSION
To MEET
Will Consider Means of Debt
Funding Negotiations Be-
tween U. s. and Debtors
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH,
international News Service staff
Correspondent.

Correspondent,
The World War Foreign Debt
Commission will meet within six
weeks to consider ways and means
Of opening debt funding negotia-
tons between the United States
and the European debtor nations,
It was learned at the Treasury
Department today.
Funding Of the French debt of
$4,000, 100000 is the most important
single problem confronting the com.
mission, but Government officials
believe that recent improvements in
the European economic situation has
placed France in an excellent posi-
ton to meet this obligation.
Treasury officials said today that
the consideration at this time of
any so-called settlement plan, such
as that Of Commissioner Hurley,
would not operate to clarity the
situation, but might confuse the
French Government as to the in.
tents and purposes of the United
States. The settlement plan. they
believe, will originate within the
French Government and not from
this country.
Some members of the debt com.
mission have advocated a courteous,
but firm, note to France, Italy ana
other debtor nations, inviting them
to enter funding negotiations, but
it is now felt that the operation
OF the caves plan and the pros.
poets Of uninterrupted German pay
ments to the allies will lead nat
urally to voluntary action by the
debtors.

what he thought about it.
Society has been trying for many
centuries, to solve some of these
so-called social questions. Each race
and nation has taken it's own course,
and the more civilized the nation,
the more different ways they have
tried. For a while French law re-

Modern legislators have run the
gauntlet trying to put up legal bars
against every phase of human desire
which might under some circumstan-
ces offend or injure anyone, with the
result that there is very little left
that can be done without being in
some sense a criminal. Most of these
laws have been enacted at the in
stance of organized reformers de
termined that everybody shall fit in
to the kind of groovesnamed by the
reformers. Now that people find it
quite impractical to live without vio-
lating some of the laws, they are
losing respect for all the laws and
there Is regret over that. People
living under long-continued restraint
trying to be law-abiding in all things,
burst the bonds and do unreasonable
things, sometimes atrocious things
like those mentioned above, and we
must accept such incidents in ex-
change for what we got rid Of. The
reformers probably consider that it
is better to have some terrible TRACE
dy come to community once in
while and one life sacrificed in a
short, sharp struggle than to have
a number of lives slowly sacrificed.
Their reasoning may be good and
but whether 1t is or not
