WAGNER DECLARES
 SITUATION GRAVE
Ntv Yolt Congressman Says
 Unemployment Grows

washington. Feb. IS (UP)-The resolution of Senator Wagner. demo- crat, N. Y. calling on the labor de- partment for a national survey of unemployment led to Variety of estimates today on the true ratio of workers to jobs.
 Wagner insisted unemployment is increasing and said the labor de- partment lacks sufficient data on the subject.
 Administration officers admitted the lack of data, and agreed that such a survey was needed but point ed out it's difficulties and generally expressed optimism over employ nent conditions.
 Employment data gathered by the bureau of labor statistics in selected manufacturing industries show de- crease in factory employees of 15 per cent since 1923, when the bureau began its study. The latest index figure, December, 1927. was s5.1 per cent of the 1923 par. Further de- clines were expected for January and February, this year. on the basis of reports already received.
 However, government experts pointed out that the bureaus fig ures cover only employment in in- dustries well established prior to 1923, and do not include farm la Dor. miners, domestic help or any of the new industries such as air planes, radio, oil-burning engines, rayon and the like except where the older industries have added the new lines to their production.
 The experts further said that de- spite the apparent falling off in workers, production has increased because of further mechanization of manufacturing plants. They sugges- cd that most workers thus displaced by machines may have been absorb ed by new or non-m manufacturing in- dustries for which there are no na- tional statistics.
 Officials declared a house-to house canvass of the nation would be necessary for an accurate check of unemployment. They said even q less thorough survey would re- quire a staff of several hundred per sons and would entail large expepdi lures. No funds are now available, the labor department added.
 The department was represented als glad to conduct an unemployment survey If assisted by the larger cities in local canvasses such as Baltimore IS making.

An engineering job that will call for
extreme care. the use of special deli
cate measuring instruments and the
services of Bureau of Standards phys
icists is scheduled to be started tomor-
row. when the firm of H. S. Hatton
Construction Co. undertakes to repair
the domed roof of the New National
Museum.
A keystone in one of the arches OF
the structure has slipped several inches
and will have to be lacked up and
heavy timber arches will be brought
into play to carry the stone. Steel
bands will be put into place to form a
hoop around the four piers that sup
port the dome. so that the piers will
not move. Then. after the bands have
been fixed, screw jacks to tighten up
the bands will be brought into play,
and Bureau of Standards physicists
with their delicate instruments will
measure the strain. There is posi-
bility, say engineers, that the Sceel
bands may crack under the tightening
strain, 50 care is the watchWord in this
process. The object will be to throw
the strain from the piers to the steel
band.
Start Work Tomorrow.
H. S. Hatton, the contractor, who
lives at 1918 Randolph street north

Formerly. several World War and

out Unless the circumstances are

it we're less drastic: if the trial judge

FEMALE FIUSKIES PROVE TO BE
MORE BRAINY THAN THE MALE
So Comdr. Byrd's Eskimo
Dogs Are Mostly of
Former Sex.
Teams Now at Virginia Navy
Base Waiting for Start
of Polar Trip.

Feminine intelligence in the canine
world, especially among Eskimo dogs,
is regarded by experts as superior to
masculine brain power, and for this
reason. most of the dog teams selected
by Comdr Richard E. Byrd for his
Antarctic expedition will be led by fe-
male huSkieS. This was disclosed here
yesterday by DR.. David E. Buckingham,
local veterinarian. who purchased the
10 dogs in Northern Labrador which
will go to the bleak shores of the South
Polar continent.
The dogs are split into Is teams of
6 each, and many of the teams con-
stitute family groups, consisting of a
mother and her sons. Each team has
a leader. usually a female, because DR..
Buckingham agrees with Labrador dog
owners that the female huskies are the
more intelligent. One mother. Dia-
mend has five sons in her team. An
other. Snowfall, has two sons who will
gull On the traces behind her.
Now at Naval Base.
All of the dogs are now at the Naval
base at Hampton Roads, Va, in readi-
ness to depart on their long Journey.
While awaiting the arrival of the
whaler Larsen, upon which they will
make the Journey, the huSkieS are quar-
tered in a naval warehouse with special
kennels, provided with exhaust fans and
tubs Of icewater to insure their comfort
during the hot weather in this latitude.
They are in perfect condition and have
endured the journey well. DR.. Buck
ingham started from Labrador with 70
dogs but one succumbed to carbon mon
oxide gas in the Washington tunnel.
The welfare of the dogs has been
constantly in the mind of Commander
Byrd since they arrived in the United
States, not only because they are SO
essential to the expedition but because
he is lover OF these animals. On the
way to Hampton Reads, DR.. Bucking-
ham received two wires from the COM
mander telling him that if he felt the
least bit Solicitous over the health and
comfort of the ANIMALS, to arrange to
take them into the North Carolina
mountains where they would be safe
from the heat. Again he wired the
veterinarian tilat if everything vas not
satisfactory a. the naval base. to take
the animals into the White Mountains
in New Hampshire until the expedition
was rea6ly 10 sail.
DR.. Buckingham selected the best
dogs he could ind in Northern Iiabra-
