INDUSTRY PAY ROLLS
SHOW UPWARD TREND
Review Of Nations Employment
Conditions Reveals Increase
Except in Building Operations

BY the Associated Press.
Industrial employment conditions in
the Nation, as seen by the Labor De-
partment, we're well sustained during
September, and gave evidence at the
end of that month of so continuing.
The departments monthly review
on the subject, made public yesterday,
reported that outside Of building oper-
ations, which showed a seasonal de-
cline. there was al increase in the
number of persons on pay rolls in Sep
tember as compared with August.
Coal Inning. iron and steel oper-
alton, railroad shop work and shoe
manufactures were among the lines
mentioned as contributing to the i'm
provement. The termination of grain
harvesting had not brought about un-
employment, 1t was dded. the laborers
concerned having been absorbed to an
unusual degree in other outdoor en-
ployment.
The review also reported a gradual
recovery in Southern territory from
the depression produced by last
Springs Mississippi flood. The only
definite surplus of labor in the country
was found in the Office labor field.

BUSINESS AID PLAN

Commerce Department Joins
in Program Proposed for
Management Week.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Better management and simplif1ed
nractice are the remedies which the
Federal Government informally has
suggested to industry as among the
wavs to cut down the number of
commercial failures which are annual
" recorded in the United States.
The Department of Commerce is
cooperating with various business
committees throughout the country
IN the holding of conferences In what
Is known as Management week, start
ing next Monday. Ever since l9Il'
when the Hoover committee on the
elimination of waste brought In re,
mort that the responsibility for 5O
rer cent Of the waste was on manage
nent and only 25 per cent on lanor,
there has been a growing recognition
that information on sound manage
nent is an essential to business sue
cess.
"Incompetence" Chief Cause.
OF the 1876, 900 business failures from
1920 to 1927. inclusive, with total ha.
hilities of more than three ard haif
billions of dollars, it is estimated by
statistical authorities that "incompe
fence" is the cause of 35 per cent OF
the cases. and that lack Of capital IS
the reason for 80 per cent more.
Causes for the other 80 per cent are
scattered among 'inexperience, ex.
trayagance," speculation, fraud" "
etc.
In so Car as incompetence" eX-
presses a defect in managerial ability,
efforts are made to overcome 1t by IN
tensive study and application of meth
DDS that have helped others to sue
ceed. Oftentimes lack OF capttaI' is
70 f0O
much money in slow-moving mer.
chandse. Simplified practice is in.
tended to help the business man cut
down his inventory, get quicker turn
overs and better profits.
Simultaneous meetings Of an educa-
tional character will therefore be held
in a number Of cities in the hope of
promoting a greater interest in the
aims, purposes and duties Of manage
ment under the general theme Man
agements Part in Maintaining Pros
perity."
Last year there were 252 meetings
held in more than 100 cities with a
combined attendance Of executives,
business leaders, engineers and others
interested in management totaling
about 10000 persons.
Sponsors Of Meetings.
The organizations sponsoring this
years series Of meetings are the
American Society of Mechanical Engi.
neers, Society Of Industrial Engineers,
the Taylor Society. the American
Management Association, the Ameri.
can Institute of Accountants, the Ma
tional Association Of Purchasing
Agents, the National Association of
Foremen, the National Association Of
Office Managers and the Life Office
Management Association.
The division Of simplified practice
of the department Of Commerce is
keeping in close touch with the con-
ferences because it serves as a GEN.
tralizing agency in bringing producers,
distributors and all users Of specific
commodities together in the hope of
bringing them into mutual agreement
on simplification Of sizes, standards
and varieties Of products. To date
there are 76 adopted recommendations
in various industries with 36 addi-
tional projects actively under con.
sideration at the Department Of Com
merce.

Vacuum tanks. among the most ef-

do. the cause usually is found to be
dirt collected at the point Of gasoline

easily, but the motorist should be
careful not to go beyond simple
cleansing. Otherwise. the delicate
mechanism may be upset. Real

ALASKA MEAT DEALERS BE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
 PURCHASE REINDEER

Believing that there are several firms in Southern, South Central and Southeastern Alaska, who would be-
 come large distributors of choice
 reindeer meat among the people of
 Alaska of those sections where rein
 deer meat is not easily obtained, it
 has been decided to give the meat dealers of Alaska the opportunity of securing reindeer meat from the U. s. s. Boxer at wholesale prices, an nounce the Alaska department of the Bureau of Education.
 Five hundred reindeer will be slaughtered under the Government supervision of superintendents and reindeer supervisors from the herds of ,Kivalina, Point Hope, Kotzebue and Wales, Alaska. These deer will be hung for proper bleeding, the hides removed, and the carcasses cooled from AS to 60 hours or longer. allowing the animal heat to escape. It is then wrapped in new cheese cloth with burlap covering and plac- ed in cold storage and frozen in the cold storage compartments of the U. s. s. Boxer. The carcasses average about 13O pounds, dressed weight.
 The U. s. s. Boxer is expected to call at ports along the southern and southeastern coast of Alaska between October 25fand November 10 to make deliveries of reindeer meat ordered through this office in response to this announcement. In quantities of more than 1000 pounds, they are offering this meat to Alaska dealers at the price of 15 cents per pound, from which sales the proceeds, above actual cost of marketing, go to the native reindeer companies from whose herds the deer were slaugh- tered

came ON a beautiful country estate,

Approaching closer to the shore.
the Beach Comber discovered that
he sea rolling figure was no other

The mental strain of decid-

Why sometimes | have to sit and
look at one Of those pesly things
for half an hour, trying TO figure
out if il is weed. How the heck
can a man tell if it is weed until
