If the contest were to be based on
mere craftsmanship, it is to be feared
that the proceedings would be more
unfair than ever. The Smith partisans
insist that their man can deliver with
unerring aim from a point 18 feet

shooter in fact, that he long ago
abandoned the simple idea of merely

six months of 1927. Men involved in
the 1926 strikes numbered only 330,O0O
Unemployment in recent months
has begun to both some of those in
the labor department and the number
of unemployed has been placed as
high as 100000. 1t is estimated that
there were 100000 persons at work
in factories in 1919 and only 8,50O,O00
now. Business is not quite so good
in the first place, but the increase
in productivity per man per hour has
been the most important factor.
Taking even 1923 as normal year,
the bureaus tables show a 10 per
cent falling off in the number en-
ployed in manufacturing industries.
Population, however, has increased.
Going back to 1919, and perSuing the
general average to the present time,
it would appear that population had
increased 10 per cent and that the
wage earners per 1000 population had
increased in number more than 20 per
cent. But in 1925, the last year for
which this computation is available,
these workers produced "a per cent
more goods per man than in 1919.
The cost of living is still practi-
cally rs per cent higher than in 1913,
figuring from the average workers
standpoint, but it is much lower than
in the first part of 1920. Taking 100
per cent for the 1913 average. the
bureau gives 175.6 as the index figure
for the last six months of 1926 and
1874 for the first six months of 1927.
The peak, recorded in December, 1920,
was 2165, but in 1922 it went as low
as 1868.
In 4hose industries studied by the
bureau, wages have kept well ahead
of the higher cost of living, in pro-
portion Much of the difference is
going into installment buying Incl
dentally, food is estimated to require
iome 38 per cent of the average fam
ilyS expenditure.

WASHINGTON.-The governments s
bureau of labor statistics, from lGs
name, might be expected to have
nothing on hand in its annual report
except plenty of dull reading.
But the bureau is the labor depart
ment's fact-finding division and if
you would know the trend of wages,
the extent of unemployment and the
ups and downs of the cost of living,
read on.
Roughly speaking, the bureaus re-
port shows that the cost of living has
gone down more proportionately than
wages have, but that industry is get
ting along with fewer workers than
it did eight years ago.
Shoe workers, for instance, aver
aged $25.87 a full-time week in 1926,
an average increase of 95.4. Cotton
mill workers averaged $1748 working
an average of 53.3 hours a week, after
an average increase of 1918 per cent
between 1913 and 1920 and drop of
29.7 per cent since. Highest earnerS
are the mule spinners at IS cents an
hour and the lowest the spool tenders
at 10 cents. Woolen mill workers
averaged $24.21, after increasing 25.3
per cent and dropping 20.2 per cent
in the same period.
In these industries, it should be
pointed out, there has been consider
able curtailment, so that the actual
average income probably is consider
ably lower.
The bureau finds that iron and
steel workers averaged $3441 full
time week, automobile workers $36.37
and hosiery and underwear workers
$22.73. Average union wages per hour
in some principal trades included
bricklayers, $1.56; carpenters, $128;
plasterers, $1.6O; plumbers, $1.38; COM
positors, $12O; painters, $1.3O; bakers.
90 cents, and chauffeurs, &c cents.

war, with 378 recorded for the first

More Truth Than Poetry

WINDOW PICTURES

When all the birds except the crow
Have winged their southwark way,
And Just before the winters snow
Has come at last to stay
At night, and always very late
Along the cloudy lanes
Jack Frost comes down to decorate
The cottage window panes.
And when you rise at breakfast time
You're always sure to see
That they are covered with rime
Of lacy filigree;
With curious straight and curving
lines
And shadows in between,
That from a distance look like pines
In some lar Arctic scene.
They sometimes look like slender
spires,
They sometimes look like trees,
They sometimes look like smoke from
fires
That kindle in the breeze.
But when you view them close at
hand
Lit by the suns first beams
They look more like the fairyland
You often see in dreams.
Perhaps that's where the painter
dWellS
And sketches all day through
Among, the bright and sunny dells
With brushes dipped in dew
And then when kindly summer wanes
He speeds across the sea
And draws these sketches on the
paneS
For you and me to see.
