fallibly cure any cold whatever. So Mir. McNutt cured his cold.
 He makes this statement over the telephone. In few days he hopes to be cured of the garlic.
 The fighters and their managers and the boxing commission and lot of other people say heavily and frequently that the harvest days are over. The era of big purses for small fights has passed. Never again will a hairy Firpo be paid $10O,O0O for being trieked by mahogany Senegambian. No long, CT will bricklayers be tempted from the ranks of honest toll by the certainty that in a. single evening-and at the cost of no more hard knocks that they have often taken as a pastime at the annual picnic-may they gain more money than two honest men could earn in lifetime of hard work. Many plans are being uttered to cure the decay that has set in upon the GUS toners. Fewer and better fights is the most drastic remedy offered.
 Where, in the idiom of the populace, do they get that stuff? New Workers never grow wise. If they have the money they'll pay. The old ballyhoo will always get them.

But training isn't enough. Some thing more than a million automobile licenses have been issued in this state and more are being shelled out every day. The city streets are'being widened. Parking places are being made out of what were once thought of as the city's lungs. Within short time the parking of cars will be prohibited entirely in certain areas. A bit hard on the man who is his own chauffeur, and who only wants to match hank or yarn for the wife, but no matter. The vehicular crowding on some streets can go no farther. Yet more cars are being placed on the streets.
 The probable way out will be the recognition of the fact that sky scraper which contains a thousand times as many people as the four story building it replaced is making an inn proper use of the city streets. The next step will be in the seizure of the ground floor for roadways. We pedes- trians will march two or three flights up.
 Absurd? Wait little and see.
 Two years ago, Marie Taylor, wait ress, picked up a package of money patron had forgotten and turned it in to the managers desk. The papers carried the story
 "An honest woman," they all said.
 The other day Marie Taylor stole a vanity case in a big store. The years had dealt rather hard with her. The rouge, the powder, the half a score little tricks in it might bring back to her, she thought, some of the charm she had lost. A probation officer with long memory told the story to her judges.
 Dismissed" was their verdict. 'Honest-but a woman."
 Mir. William Slavens McNutt, the writer of fiction, went out seeking for color the other night. He came upon high favored desperate of whom he would ask questions:
 "What-hack, hack, hack" coughed Mir. McNutt.
 The criminal was touched. Taking Mir. McNutt by the hand he led him through many dark streets and up sev- eral flights of dark stairs and into a dark flat where the lady of his heart reposed.
 "Gimme that garlic, Baby" said the criminal. And bidding Mir. McNutt to bite often and heavily of the odorous root, he assured him that-it would in

 Warm, quiet, and easy to clean
 Floors of Enoleum are satisfactory floors. They are quiet under foot steps. After their first washing and thorough waxing, linoleum floors need little care. Daily wiping with a dry mop takes up dust and dirt. Go over the entire floor once a week with a cloth moistened in liquid wax to restore the polish. Do not SCOUT or scrub fine linoleum it is actually harmful, and un- necessary on a waxed floor.
 Where to see the new patterns
 You can find an interesting display of the new designs and colors of Armstrong's Linoleum at good de- partment and furniture stores. When you look at linoleum, think of 1t as laid flat on your floor, waxed and polished, and your fabric rugs spread

 The Birmingham Traffic association has been successful in obtaining ap- proval by the Southern Freight asso- citation, representative of all southern lines, of rate reduction for burlap bags, secondhand, from eastern points to Birmingham.
 The new level will place Birming- ham on a more competitive basis with New Orleas and Savannah and will be particularly attractive to the Werthe' inner Bag company, which rewOrks the bags and reships them.

ag
 LIVERY man, woman and child r. wants to hGTe strength and correct weight. It means the joy of living. To be minus strength and underweight often proves low fighting-power in the body. It often means you are minus nerve power, minus red cells in your blood, minus health, n1lnus vitality. 1t is serious to be minus, but the moment you increase the number of your red-bIood-cells, you begin to become plus. That's why S.S.S., since 1926, has meant to thousands of underweight men and women a plus in their strength. Your body fills to the point of power, your flesh becomes firmer, the age lines that come from thinness disappear. You look younger, firmer, happier and you feel it, too, all over your body.
 More red.blood-cells! S.S.S. aids Nature in building them by the million! There are no unproven theories about S.S.S., the scientific results of each of it's purely vege. table medicinal ingredients are ad- mitted by authorities. Begin talk ing S.S.S. today. It will give you more energy, vitality and vigor, and e more up and going appearance.

BEFORE CLAIMS EXPIRE

The Veterans Bureau is trying to
reach all ex-service men who may
be possible claimants under the War
Risk Insurance Act. Director Hines
warns them to present their claims
for compensation Immediately.
He cites the provision Of the law
that: mo compensation shall be
payable unless a claim therefor be
filed. in case of disa bility, within five
years after discharge or resignation
from the service. or, in case Of death
during the service, within five years
after such death Is officially record
ed in the department under which
he may be serving: PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, That where compensa-
ton Is payable for death or dis
ability occurring after discharge or
resignation from the service, claim
must be made within five years after
such death or the beginning OF such
disability"
AS most OF the men were discharS-
cd in 1919 this will be the last year
in which many OF them can legally
file claims except in extreme cases
where the appeal must be sent TO
the central Office in Washington and
the Director allows the additional
year.
Those who have claims will save
themselves and others annoyance
and delay il not actual loss by at
tending to this request promptly.

How Strong Are The Unions?
,Eoston News Bureau

tBoSton News Bureau)
The American labor unions reached
the peak of their CLOSED shop
strength in 1920, when their total
membership was something over A.
100000. OF this huge total 4,oIS,t4o,
or $50, were affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. The
present total union membership IN
the United states is about 3,730.00o.
a decrease from the peak figures or
more than 1,170000, or nearly one
fourth. The \. +. of l.. membership
as reported to the 1928 convention is
2.92G.a00, and represents loss OF
26?.OO in fifteen months, fact the
More significant when ii is considered
that the volume of employment has
increased during the some period.
Another method of computation
deals with ''organizable workers.
Take the census figures for the num-
Der of persons Gainfully employed
and 10 or more wears of age in IVY;
by successive reductions of those OBJ
vicuslv not eligible to nnionization
obtain the potential union strength
OF the workers and you will reach an
aggregate of less than 17,5Oo.Ooc.
Thus the total membership in the Ia
hor unions in 1920 was only about
2Sce Of the number 'organizahle.
and the number OF unionists In 1879
had declined to 20Cc o fthc eleihles.
TO he sure, the ratio for 1923 ts
very hard to determine. as there are
no complete census figures for Iast
year. Noel Sargent, manaEer OF the
Omen Shop Department OF the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
examines all the available data ana
concludes that there was n marked
increase in individual productivity n
1921 but Il letting down since then.
Vet after making all allowances re
puts the number Of "organi2ahles" for
1c23 at 1885. 906. of whom only one
ir five is unionized.
In other words, the unions do not
represent by any means the 1000
opinions of American .abor. At the
peak of their power the unions in
cluded on their rolls only a small
percentage fthe workers of Amer
lea. But the power fthe unions ~
vastly out of all proportion to these
ratios because of the enormously i'm
p0rtant fact, stated thus by Mr.. Sar-
gent: "The closed shop unions have
confined themselves almost entirely
to a few key :nduStrinS-tTa nSpOrta
ton. fuel. clothing ana building. 1t
is on account Of the particular impor-
lance of these induStI les that the
closed shop system has become so
prominent IN issue before the Amcrt-
can public"
