Who Pays the Wages?
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

IT is good thing when the aboring realizes that il
/ is his output that pays the wages.
The difference between America and Europe, and the
difference also between democracy and socialism is that
in America under democracy, realize that wages
come from output while in most of Europe and under
socialism capital is supposed to pay the laborer.
Mr. Henry Ford's experiments have pretty well proved
if you make product excellent enough and make
price reasonable enough ii easier to pay the aborer
high wages.
The trouble with the miners in Egland is that they
not produced enough consequently their
low.
The American working excels the working OF
other countries by his productivity.
The Department of Labor by its recent investigations
shows that the output of American labor has increased and
is increasing rapidly
Thus in automobile making produced 30 per cent
1924 than in 1914 in shoe manufacturing III per
cent more, and in iron and steel 40 per cent
American labor fortunate that it has leaders who
recognize where their money comes from.
All restrictions of output damage to machinery acanny
and forth, migate and against high wages
It is truth not apparent upon the surface but
the less rue that high wages do not interfere with the
low price of product The Ford company pays high
wages and put out low-priced product
High wages better quality Of work and
desirable output.
Even without tariff excellent and wel-paid labor in
America would have difficulty in competing with the
under-paid laborer from abroad

Elizabeth wrote an article en-
titled Are Children People?'' for
the September issue of Vanity
Fair. 1t is a brilliant article and
would be a credit to a wise man
of fifty. The story of Elizabeth's
life has been written by Eliza
beth's mother. It is, undoubtedly,
an accurate and fair account and
confirms the report of the child's
remarkable intelligence. There
can be no question that Eliza
beth is a genius.
I have no desire to dispute that
genius.
But 1t seems to me tragic
matter that we should think such
genius admirable or desirable in
a child of twelve.
Here we have the spectacle OF
a child who by her own and her
mothers report has been admitted
to every sort Of discussion that
can possibly go on between in
she could talk. She has faced all
responsibilities and discussed all
issues with her mother. when
anything particularly exciting or
depressing comes up during
mothers days she telephones me
and gets it off her chest says
Elizabeth. Mentally she has been
rated as a superior adult" and
she has led the life of a superior
adult. And all the world marvels
and adn1ireS
Therein, protest, lies the
tragedy.

What is there so beautiful or
excellent about the lives Of SUI
perior adults that we should re-
joice when the illusions of a child
are sacrificed to achieve such an
estate?
We act as If Elizabeth had be-
nificently escaped some useless.
wasteful condition of ignorance
and helplessness. and at a bound,

life. Such is not the case. Eliza
beth hasn't escaped something
useless. She has been deprived
of something inestimably precious
and vital to strong development.

Elizabeth very much when she

sible substance, namely, if by
great pressure it's density could
be largely increased, then 1t
would be true that objects heavier
than water at the surface might
cease to be heavier at great
depths, and SO come to rest there
before reaching the bottom. But
the fact is that water Is OBJ
stinately 1ncompressible. Many
elaborate experiments have proved
that under pressure the volume
of water diminishes only a. mil
lionths for each increase OF one
atmosphere. or Is pounds pressure
per square inch. At a depth of
a kilometer (three-fifths Of
mile) the diminution Is only about
1-50th, that is the bouyant force
of the water would be increased
only 2 per cent. 1t is also to
be remembered that the pressure
due to depth is exerted in com
pressing or increasing the density
of not only the water. but of any
object immersed in the water. So
1t becomes evident that only OBJ
jects that are but slightly heavier

they themselves are extremely re-
sistant to compression. could pos
sibly be arrested in sinking By

"Water-LOgging"
Small wooden vessels wrecked
at sea sometimes become water
logged" and continue to float near
the surface. to the peril OF ships
navigating that part of the ocean.
The water-logged condition arises
from the filling OF the interior
parts of the vessel with water,
which brings It's deck down flush
with the sea level, while the
buoyancy Of the wooden hull
counteracts the weight of the
heavier parts of the structure and
keeps 1t afloat. Air imprisoned in
interior cavities may aid in keep
ing a wrecked vessel from sinking
deeper. Air from a sinking ship
often escapes with explosive
violence.

A F A u S
TREE

THERE are a large number of
trees in this country that are
famous for historical reasons.
Under one tree, this treaty was
signed by two famous generals.
Under another. that quarrel was
settled between two well-known
characters. A third is favorite
of a famous poet and has been
immortalized in verse and stanZa.
But there is one tree that Is
equally interesting, and has been
little heard about outside of the
city in which it stands.
In Athens, Ca. stands beauti-
full old oak tree. This tree SO
endeared itself to it's owner that
he decided the tree and eight feet
surrounding it over to itself.
Accordingly. It is chained off,
and on a marble marker at Its
base is inscribed:
''For and in consideration OF
the great love bear this tree
and the great desire have for
its protection for all time, I con-
vey to 1t entire possession of IT.

The tree is. of course. one OF
the sights OF the city, and is
lovingly cared for by the citizens.
Since we are on the subject
of trees. it might be we'll to
write of another, which is worthy
of mention. 1t Is quite a jump
from Georgia to California, where
this tree grows. In San Fran

A READER writes me. ''When
"A you say the earth would
go kerplunk to the bottom II
thrown into water, you should
state the depth, as 1t is well
known that lead or iron does not
sink below a certain depth"
This involves a popular fallacy
which it seems to be very diff.
cult to eradicate. Hardly q week
passes that I do not receive a
letter asking whether a sunken
ship remains suspended some
where above the bottom of the
sea, or whether a ball of lead or
iron thrown into the sea would
not cease to sink on reaching a
certain depth.
The simple fact Is that any OBJ
ject that is heavier than wafer,
bulk for bulk, will continue to
sink in water as long as its dem
sity is greater than that of the
water around it. Such dense sub
stances as iron or lead or stone,
always go rapidly to the bottom
Of the deepest water. The mean
density of the earth is about five
and one-half times that of water.
Even some woods are heavier
than water. such as live oak and
lignum vitae. Most woods, how
ever, will float. Thus, while sea
water weighs about 81 pounds
per cubic foot, a cubic foot Of ash
or beech weighs only 45 or as
pounds, a cubic foot of white oak
48 pounds, and a cubic foot Of
white pine only 20 pounds. Ice,

OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

Can Dead Love BE Revived
NOTHING is so dead as dead
~ love, according to the cynics;
not all the four winds Of heaven
can blow up the spark of an old
flame!
Yet, every day, we read Of some
long separated couple "going back"
and starting life all over again,
together. Old marriages and old
wedding rings are being resur-
rected, along with other antiques,
restored and FURNISHED to look
like new.
Remarrying is getting to be as
popular and fashionable as d.
vorce! But-CAN dead love ever
be revived?
Cynical sophistry! Suffering soul
mates! Love doesn't NEED to be
revived! For love-REAL love
NEVER DIES!
For real love Is not built on
anything so evanescent as a
flame" or a grande passion or
q summer romance.
Real love IS a glorified friend
ship-rooted in the solid ground
of an abiding affection and I'M
derstanding.
Real love includes all the seven
varieties OF love maternal. SUI
pernal, fraternal, erotic. For. un.
less you can love man as you
would a brother. a lover, a spoiled
child, and a glorified being, you
are going to find it awfully hard
to put up with him, seven days
in the week, for the rest Of your
life.
Real love has as many sides az
a diamond and as many lives as a
cat! Dead passion may he moth
ing but ashes, and dead romance
just lot of withered flowers.
You can never revive the old
thrills and the old dalliance any
more than you can bring back
the fizz and sparkle to dead
champagne.
