CITY EMPLOYMENT
SLUMP REPORTED
Conditions Take Downward
Trend for November,
Survey Reveals.

Although general employment con-
ditions In Washington during NoVem-
ber were not as satisfactory as during
October, the volume of employment
having shown decided downward
trend during the past 80 days. the
Fede raj director for Washington said
TO-DAY the labor surplus is not large
and unemployment is confined chlefy
TO clerical workers and unSkllied
iaborers.
Building was said TO be continuing
in good volume, with a majority OF
the resident tradesmen employed.
MANY Of the stores increased operating
forces in preparation for the holiday
trade, ard the director said demand
still exists for colored domestic help
that is hard to fill.
Practically all industries in Baltl-
ynore are operating. the Maryland di-
rector rc ported. with unskilled labor
ers and clerical workers constituting
the bulk Of the small number un-
employed In the largest city in the
State. The large volume Of building
going on in Cumberland was said not
TO be sufficient to absorb the resident
supply Of building tradesmen. while
virtually the same condition exists in
Hagerstown.
Industrial employment conditions
throughout Virginia during November
were described as satisfactory by the
State director, with major industries
operating on practically full-time
schedules and the labor supply and
demand well balanced in most local.

Motor Fuel Now
Developed From
Coal, Bureau Says

Moving toward conservation of
the petroleum resources of the
United States. the Bureau Of Mines
announced yesterday the possibil-
fly of obtaining motor fuels from
coal, practicable for use in internal
combustion engines. but prevented
now from being commercially
profitable by the relatively low
price of gasoline.
A. c. Fieldner of the bureau re-
turned recently from a European
trip, during which he inspected
several processes for making mo-
tor fuel from coal. One of them,
developed in Germany, developed
fuel capable of use in motorcycles
at a cost of IS cents gallon.
The Bergius process, recently de-
veloped in Germany for converting
coal into oil, also offers great pos
sibilities for the treatment or
Western bituminous and subbitu-
minous coal, Mr.. Fieldner said.
This process. he declared, could
provide in the future ample guam
titles of substitutes for the prod
ucts now obtained from petroleum
and the time when such a process
may be profitably worked will be
determined by price levels.

West Virginia increased the volume
of employment in the State during
November. Many of the mines were
working at capacity, and in some To-
calities the demand for labor exceeds
the supply.
The last 10 days of November
brought a noticeable reduction in EN-
ployment throughout the country, ac-
cording to a summary of Nationwide
employment made by the United
States Employment Service. This was
largely due to termination of sea-
sonal work and a decline in the vol
ume of building, together with reduc-
ton in the forces of automobile fac
tories and accessory plants.

Berglund's death was the first In a

PENDULUM FACTS
By Garrett P. Seryiss

Put that in your mental pipe; 1t
makes an excellent smoke.
You can get a graphic repre-.
sentation Of what happens with
the aid of an ordinary globe
Cut out of thin paper a circle an
inch or two in diameter. Draw a
straight line through the center
of the circle. Then attach the
circle by pin through the CEN
ter to the surface Of the globe on
any meridian line, say. at Iati-
tude 40 or As degrees north.
Bring the circle under the brass
meridian of the globe, and set
the line drawn upon it in coinci-
dence with the meridian. Then
that line may represent the plane
in which the pendulum Is set vi
brating. Now, turn the globe
eastward on its axis: the circle
brass meridian, but as it moves
with the globe keep the straight
line on it parallel with the brass
meridian, which represents the
original plane of vibration.
AS you continue to turn the
globe eastward, all the time ad-
Justing the direction of the line
to make it remain parallel with
the brass meridian. you will find
that the line is turning con
stantly toward the right, away
from the meridian to which it Is
attached by the pin. If you con-
tinue the experiment until you
have carried the circle all around
the globe, you will find that the
line. i. e., the plane of vibration
of the pendulum, has made cir
cult around the center of the
paper circle.
The accompanying diagram pic
lures the effect that you will see.
If the circle is placed on the
equator there will be no shift.
If it is placed at the pole, the
earth's meridians will turn under
the plane of vibration making
one complete turn in "a hours.
In any latitude between the pole
and the equator the time required
for a complete turn of the plane
of vibration with reference to tbs
meridian on which the pendulum
stands equals % hours divided
by the sine OF the latitude. Thus
at 40 degrees latitude the time is
about 81 1-3 hours. - There is a
very good mathematical explana-
ton in Professor Young's Gen
eral Astronomy"
