BOGUE LEARNED
BY EXPERIENCE

Benjamin Bogue, authority on
speech disorders, has more than
twenty-six years of practical ex-
perience to serve as the basis. Of the
method employed for the correction
of stammering and suffering at
the Eogue Institute for Stammerers.
Nearly thirty years ago Bogue
himself suffered from stammering
Eo experimental with different
plans in use at that time, and from
the start which was obtained by
studying the many methods then in
use he developed a natural method
for the correction of stammering
and suffering and Immediately
freed himself from his own chronic
case.
BY studying his own case and COM
pairing it with the speech of persons
who talked normally, Bogue dis
covered the parts of the speech
mechanism that needed correction
and the re-established proper CO.
ordination. He then proceeded to
develop method to establish that
normal functioning.
Many persons began to hear of
what Bogue had done for himself,
and there was an immediate de-
mand for him to assist other stam-
merers. The method worked with
such general success that it became
the standard method of the entire
country.

TRANSFER FIRM
is DEVELOP ING

The development of the CONNER
cial trucking and warehouse bust
ness by the Central Transfer and
Storage Company, 1912 S. Ala
bama ST.. has been an interesting
story in the civic progress of Indi-
annapolis.
The firm ranks as one of the best
equipped transfer and storage con-
Germs In the city. It's big Interna-
tiona trucks make their way about
over the city and State with speed
and safety.
Already the 1927 commercial bust
ness has surpassed the 1926 record.
Many concerns do not maintain
any trucking facilities, for the work
of transporting merchandise is being
done by specialists like the Central
Transfer and Storage Co.
This is due in part to the discov-
cry that considerable capital must
be tied up in modern, motorized
equipment if real service is to be
given. Some concerns want this
capital for other purposes. They do
not have sufficient work to warrant
investment in trucks. They find
that the commercial trucking facili-
ties Of this firm are available with
littlenotice and the charges are low.
Competent drivers are employed
and personal supervision of all con-
tracts is given. The firm does not
do household transfer or extra heavy
hauling. It makes speciality Of
rapid commercial trucking and stor-
age in its warehouse.

NATIONAL PERIL
Several Million Workers
Can't Live on What They
Are Paid, Survey Shows.
BY EARL SPARKLING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8-Eeveral
million laborers in America are
underpaid to point of moral and
economic peril, the United States
Labor Department warned today.
Wages for adult workers average
in some cases as low as $1o.34 a

in ten forthcoming issue of the

The Review will quote an estimate
by Secretary of Labor Davis that
from 10 to 20 million persons, count
ing women and children, are failing
to share in the nations prosperity.
Can't Live on Wages
Davis will be quoted: Morally,
economically, and on the grounds of
simple humanity, this inequality
should not be allowed to exist in the
richest nation of history"
Statistics gathered by the labor

years show that common laborers

Thousands of day 1aborers in the
lumber industry received for a max
imum STU hour only SHIT a week

Of time, were probably much less. In
the lowest paid districts the average
maximum wage was only $1O49
