BIRDS OF THE NIGHT.
Nighthawks and Whippoorwills
Great Destroyers of Insects.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Nighthawks and whippoorwills
work chiefly at night, when most
other birds are off duty, and at day
break their work is taken up by the
swifts and swallows. These birds
are provided with big scoopnet
mouths, and as they swing through
the air over wide areas OF country
they scoop up almost unbelievable
numbers Of insects.
Homing pigeons probably are
closer to the human family than any
other form Of winged life. The birds
have remarkable intelligence. They
mate in pairs, and the female of each
union has exercised her right Of suf-
frage to the extent that the male
helps her in Matching out the eggs
and in caring for and feeding the
young.

Labor In Capital.
AS a result Of all these fortunate
circumstances, organized labor is
fast becoming one of the powers of
capital in this country. Its COOP
erative enterprises and its entrance
into the field of banking and invest
ment have given it not only a new
power of influence, but a new point
of view. 1t is learning the problems
of enterprise and management by ac-
tual experience. This again is the
workin gout of the American ideal in
industry. 1t is the beginning Of a more
complete economic equality among
all the people. believe 1t to be
the beginning Of an era of better
understanding, more sympathy and
more fellowship, among those who
serve the common welfare through
investment and management. and
those who serve as wage earners.
We have yet a long way to go, but
progress has begun and the way lies
open to more complete under
standing that will mark the end of
industrial strife.
It is my policy to continue these
conditions in so far as 1t is possible
and to continue this march of progress.
There are two important domestic fac
tors in this situation. One is restric-
tive immigration. This has been
adopted by this administration chiefly
for the purpose Of maintaining Ameri-
can standards. It undoubtedly has a
very great economic effect. We want
the people who live In America, no
matter what their origin, to be able
to continue in the enjoyment Of their
present unprecedented advantages. This
opportunity would certainly be de-
stroyed by the tremendous influx Of
foreign peoples, II immigration were

The figures 1 have quoted apply to
workers in these industries, regard
less of whether they are organized
or unorganized. A study of wages in
organized trades shows that in 1928
the average wage per hour was two
and one-ninth times that in 1913, and
two and one-third times that of 1907.
Taking the entire body of union men.
working hours have been reduced
per cent as against 1913. and per
cent as against 1907. But their week
ly pay in 1923 was 80 per cent higher
than in 1913, and two and one-sixth
times as high as in 1907. And let it
be added, the figures show that aver
age wages of organized workers in
1924 are higher than in 1928.
But increased wages, in terms of
money, mean little If they are entirely
absorbed by higher prices of the
necessaries Of life. In order to know
whether an increase in the money
wage is also an increase in the real
wage, we must know how much the
prices have advanced. On that point.
/ find that the cost Of living of the
average family, for the same standard
of living, has been falling since the
hjSA point was reached in 1920, and
