REAL WAGES
Higher Than Ever Before,
Says Hoover

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-The wages
prosperity of labor at the end of
1924 is gratifying, according to a
statement by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover on the economic prospects of
the new year.
"The average wage in industry has
been stable during the last year." de-
clares Secretary Hoover, land re-
mains around 100 per cent above pre-
war, while the cost of living has
maintained almost exactly the same
level at the end of each of the last
three years, 1922, 1923 and 1924,
about 72 per cent over pre-war.
"Our labor, therefore, continues to
enjoy the highest real wage in it's
history
"There was some unemployment in
the middle of the year, but it has now
been largely overcome"

BOXING CONTEST
For Riddles Camp Benefit
Being Arranged For
February IL

Jack Scheaf, chairman of the gen.
eral committee in charge to arrange
for boxing contest for the benefit
of the kiddies' camp fund, reports
that committee getting busy. Sew
eral meetings have been held and the
program is gradually rounding out.
The contest will be staged at the JEFF
ferson theatre, Tuesday evening,
February II.
A hot card is being arranged. For
the feature bout indications now
point to this being between Benny
Soloff, of Memphis, Tenn, and jim
mie Dell, of Louisville, KY. Boy, if
these two live wires of the ring are
brought together local lovers of the
roped arena sport are in for some
fine entertainment. The tentative
program includes such good men as
Gene Larue, the Canadian Tramp"
Willie Sullivan, Cincinnati; Irish"
Lou Henenberry, Covington, KY;
Carl Meder, Hamilton, and others.
The complete program will be an
nounced in a few days.
The real reason for the show this
year is to clean off, il possible, debt
ot g 900 remaining on the camp. II
is not Generally known that the value
of the buildings ana equipment of the
camp are estimated at as between
10000 and $4,000. Of this amount
only about $1,000, actual cash, clear
ed on the benefit boxing show last
winter, has been put into the project,
and with the exception of the $4,000
debt remaining, all other expense has
been borne by contributions of much
of the materials, and all labor was
contributed by organized labor and
a few contractors.
The kiddies' camp is certainly a
wonderful example of the great
amount of good that can be done for
the needy when few right hearted
men and women get together and de-
eide they are going to do thing.
Those in charge and who are look
ing after the welfare of the camp are
anxious that the returns from this
years benefit show will clean up the
outstanding debt, and more, and they
ask that the public aid them in this
by boosting the show and attending.

To the poet, as to every other, we
do that, it is of no use to keep string

or verse, in action or speculation, all

The word "carillon" should be used

feet by means of a keyboard and
pedal board. A chime is made up of
from four to sixteen substantially

Septenber's Many Names

September falls within the Zodiacal
sign of Libra, the balance or scales.
September gets It's name from the
Latin numeral septem, because the
month was the seventh of the ancient
Roman calendar, which had but ten
months. In the days of Charlemagne
the French called the season the harv-
est month. Among the early Saxons
1t was known as barley month. The
American Indians called it "Moon Of
Falling Leaves"
