GET $12 A MONTH

Berlin, July 2O.-(AP)-Almost
four million wage earners in Ger.
many must content themselves with
2 monthly wage of sig, or so marks
according to figures by the insti-
tute for economic research. Most
of these underpaid workers are an
prentices.
BY far the largest group of wage
earners draws monthly wages of
$25 to $75. It comprises l g mil
lions. Almost 1-2 millions earn
from $12 to $25.
The figures were arrived at on
the basis of sales of official insur-
ance stamps. Under the German
law, all wage earners are compelled
to enroll in one of the government
invalid, old age and sickness insur-
ance institutions. The premium is
paid weekly, in proportion to the
income, in the form of insurance
stamps bought at the post office.
The statistics cover the cases Of
10 million workers, but do not in
clude employees with fixed annual
salaries nor business or professional
men earning their incomes indie
peBdently.
OF these Is millions, only $50, 900
earn more than SIS monthly.

Youngsters Hosts
to Their Parents
IN Children $ Hour

Hanford. Calf. July -tP)-The
spirit of Henry Wadsworth Longfel-
low has inspired the innovation of
THE Children's Hour" for those Of
school age in Hanford.
Children meetings held nv Mrs.
Cleo Lee Avdelotte to develop among
children their normal instincts for
self-expression' have expanded into
communitv activity. The children
are the hosteSses of their hour each
week. Parents and other children are
invited guests.
Municipal authorities have placed
the city auditorium at the disposal
of the children on Sunday afternoons.
Through a five-cent contribution
from each hostess aided by some of
the seniors Of the community-re
freshments are provided for all
guests. They present regular pro-
grams. some including pretentious
juvenile plays.
THE movement has awakened true
democratic spirit and larger inter
est in social welfare. says Mrs.
Aydelotte. "A new interest in recrea
ton other than the movies has been
aroused. Mothers note that the chill
dren are practicing the golden rule,
not just reciting it. The Youngsters
develop self-reliance. self expression
and an invaluable resourcefulness.

POET WHO HID FOR IS YEARS
ASLDOL OF FRANCE
Paul Valcry, Who Succeeds
AnatOle France in Acade-
my, Writes POctical Puz.
Zles Which Few Understand
But All Admire
by MINOTT SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

Paris, Juiy Have you read Paul
Vaicry!
To this question thousands in
France will today answer guardedly
that they have his works. Hundreds
VIII boldly respond with YES But
very few will pretend to understand
him.
Yet Paul Marley is the latest craze
IN literary circles here. His promln-
ehee has grown rapidly with his m
dnctlon into the French Academy re-
Gently. taking the chair Of the de-
ceased Immortal, Anatole France.
There has been rush for his books.
but readers usually end up with the
questions. What is he getting a;?"
and How does he get that W"
Paul Nalery as a poet is q puzzle.
he IS literary gymnast, taken up
BY the snobbsh and causing con
fusion in the minds of his more
learned students. Although his posi-
tion as the foremost poet Of France
is rarely disputed, his comprehend
iEg readers form a very small circle
OF savants.
Why He Hid Himself
Nalery's present-day fame follows
an extraordinary career. !. y a. youth
he published several ,sheslsaeptks. but
he came to the Whflstish tkat lis
equipment. was insn2ficicnt to make
his mark in the realm Of letters. He
thought it wiser to study and or
ganize his ideas than to rush into
print.
For fifteen years he courted oh
security, devoting himself to scientific
and mathematical subjects and to
the development Of form. He offered
nothing for publication. and earned
his living as an obscure journalist.
But gradually sort of legend grew
about Marley. He associated with
men Of novel and advanced literary
ideas and achieved a reputation which
led those of the inner circle to saw.
Watch Paul Valery."
He broke his silence in 1917. and
then struck the stride that has car
ried him to the Academy, the high
est honor that can be achieved by
. man of letters in France.
Keeps Readers Guessing
Nalery has habit of speaking o.
his works as EXERCISES" rather than
calling them essays or poems. He
constructs theories instead of soly
ing problems. He writes the hypo,h-
esls and leaves the solution to his
readers. which keeps them guessing.
His admirers say he writes with
Greek purity, but often wonder if he
himself knows what he is writing
about.
1t is incumbent upon a man elect
ed TO chair in the Academy to
deliver. upon assuming his position.
eulogy of his predecessor It is
said of Valery that when he was
elected he had not read word OF
Anatole France. but that he bought a
complete set of Frances works and
retired t" the country to read them
in order to be able to deal with the
man intelligently. He delivered an
appreciation. touched with irony, of
that man whose place is secure in
French literature.
!alery is now aged 81. He is n
native Of France. but his family was
originally Corsican. He is of medium
height. His face is deeply traced
with lines indicating the great SIN
dent. He is worker with the
Comite Srauana. n group interested
in making the best French literature
familiar in the United States.

CLUBS BEAT H. c. l..

Paris, July 20. (AP) - The
mounting cost of living and grow
ing efficiency Of French office
management are said to be res
ponsible for the increasing num-
Der of office lunch clubs in Paris.
The clubs, made up of members
of office staffs who do not go home
for lunch, have hot food sent in to
an improvised office lunch room.
Members say that they can thus
lunch far more cheaply than they
could in restaurants or at home,
allowing for transportation costs.
Most French offices close at the
lunch hour. This permits the clubs
to lunch undisturbed by business
callers.

knees. Is that civilization? My good friend, when the U. s. A bought Alaska, they found the In- dians in that state. You white men called the barbarians. Now be cause the white man does it, it is called civilization.
 What about bobbed hair, the latest fashion in civilization. The bobbed hair was the fashion amongst the Alaska Indians many years ago.. Whenever a womans mother or brother died, her haiG was bobbed. When I was a child in Wrangell, I heard a white man say, Look at the savage woman with her hair cut short" And now because the whites do it, it is call, ed civilization.
 What about the Charleston that all the civilized white people are dancing? Fifty years ago when the white man saw an Alaskan dance 1t, he called it a savage dance. And now, because the white man does it himself, he calls it civilization.
 I don't know, but I think civi- lizatiOn is the only thing that can settle the race problem

 A man told me that Inventions were civilization. Look at the auto mobiles! Yes, but look at the rob berries that are done with the auto mobiles, look at the girls:athat are is drunk, look at the girls that are ruined,and the lives lost by such new inventions. What about the flying machine! Is that civiliza- tion? Or the picture show, or ths radio? That may be what civiliza- ton means, but I am not satisfied yet.

MINING IN ALASKA

Mines in Alaska produced $17, 657,SO worth of minerals in 1926, as against $18,22O,692 in 1925, ac' cOrding to an announcement made by the Interior Department today through the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Territory since 1880 is $571, OOO,OOO.
 About 56 per cent of the gold produced during 1926 came from placer5, and of this amount nearly 61 per cent was mined by dredges. of which there were 32 in operation in different parts of the Territory. This method of placer mining prom ises to yield even larger returns in succeeding years, because during 1926 several of the dredges were not operated through the entire season, owing either to time spent in completing them or to the ex- tremely dry season that prevailed through most of Alaska, or from some purely local cause, and plans are already under way for building additional dredges at a number ot pieces in the near future.
