GOT EN-, DOWN TO LAST EGG!

Here is story of victory for
somebody, or something-pe perhaps for
bureaucracy: Six hundred inspectors,
looking for Mediterranean fruit fly
larvae in Florida, report that they
can find none-not even onei Thus
does the federal governments vast
expenditure of money justify itself,
unless somebody lied somewhere
sometime. To have so slain the pest
that, where millions swarmed q year
ago, not one fly is left to lay an egg,
seems almost too much to believe.
And yet the United States depart
ment of Agriculture solemnly states
it is fact! If only the government
could be as thorough in eliminating
unemployment, or in farm relief, or
in wiping out pellagral

RAINCOAT MAKERS
WIN WEEKS STRIKE

New York City S)-After a
weeks strike, a decisive victory has
just been won by 1,200 raincoat MAX
ers, affiliated with the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
By terms of a two-year contract
signed by the union and the Raincoat
Manufacturers Association, the en-
ployers withdrew demands for 10 per
cent wage cut and abolition of three
and half legal holidays, and restor-
ed the five per cent taken from wages
last spring.

WAGE CUTS
Increase and Buying Grows
Less, Survey Shows

Washington.-Wa cuts have fol-
lowed unemployment, says the A. F..
of L. Monthly Survey of Business,
September issue.
The gradual rise in the number of
firms cutting wages since December,
las year." is reported.
"There has been widespread ap-
probation of the necessity of high
wages to create purchasing power" /"
the Bulletin states. "The number of
employees affected by wage cuts have
been very much smaller this year
than in 1924. Even though the de-
preston of 1880 has been worse than
in 1924, manufacturers have been less
influenced by the fallacy that wage
reductions would solve their prob
lens. They did not Immediately cut
wages.
But the rapid increase of wage
cuts in July shows a dangerous ten
dency. Workers incomes have been
reduced by unemployment and part
time work more than in 1924. Just
az this time when all eyes are turned
to the retail market, and wholesale
buyers are hesitating to see whether
their customers will purchase enough
to justify new orders from manufac-
turers, workers ability to buy will
probably turn the tide. 1t will largely
determine whether business starts up
ward or stays in the present depres-
ed condition for the winter months.
"The least we can do in the present
situation is to avoid wage cuts anc
maintain workers buying power al
the highest possible level"

IDLE STATISTICS MAY CONFUSE

Citizens may be confused when
they read preliminary census bulletin
figures that certain areas have but
2 and 3 per cen tof their population
unemployed.
These figures are based on the
number of persons who have no Jobs
and are seeking employment. They
do not include workers who have been
laid off. When a plant closes down
and notifies employees that they are
temporarily released, these are not
included in the present census list of
unemployed.
Last June, the census bureau used
this system in several non-industrial
states, and Secretary of Commerce
Lamont declared that if the theory
were applied to the whole country it
would indicate much less unemploy-
ment that was generally estimated" F."
This reasoning is faulty, as the
figures do not include industrial
areas, where unemployment is more
general than in agricultural sections.
Since then Dh Charles E. Persons,
a statistician of standing, and a for
mer teacher at Princeton and North
western Universities, is reported as
having resigned from the bureau of
the census as protest against poll
cies that appear to minimize the num-
Der of unemployed.

WISDOM

The deepest root of the evils and
iniquities which fill the industrial
world is the subjection of labor to
capital, and the enormous share which
the possessors of the instruments of
production are able to take from the

with every little sum, lecture long Is
handed out. All voters dearly love to
preach, to I'LL the air with wholesome
sound; some moral lessons they would

pound. But few will listen to our rede;
men have their errands to pursue, they
scoot around with tireleSS speed to gain
another buck or two. They do not care
a tinkers boot what high opinions we
may hold, they will not harken while
we shoot from pious lips the words of
gold. We wander on the pebbled beach,
we sadly journey everywhere, and We
have little chance to preach, which is
the cross We have to bear. But when
a vagrant comes along and asks us for
a cuStard pie, we feel it surely won't be
wrong to lecture while i've hours drag
by. The hungry man must stand and
hear, If he would have some food and
drink; so We explain, in language clear,
the faults that put him on the blink
If he had done as We have done, he

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

March rs, I794.-The Commissioners
of the Federal District recorded for the
first time today the substitution of
Washington City for Georgetown as
their place of official residence ''at
meeting of the Commissioners in the
City of Washington"
Ever since the laying out of the new
Federal metropolis east Of Rock Creek
there has been considerable sectional
feeling between the residents of George
town and those who are interested in
the development o: the new city. In
January of this year the Commission
ers began to use of the City of Wash
ington instead of Georgetown in the
headline of their official letters.
Much Of the business of the Commits
sioners will still doubtless be conducted
in Georgetown, but hereafter their OFF,
cial abode will be in the new city.
The Commissioners are in the habit
of holding regular monthly meetings
but it has been thought advisable to
have q superintendent in charge during
the receSses of the board. The Com
miSsioners about year ago appointed
Samuel Blodgett, jr., upon the recon-
mendation of some Of the land owners.
as superintendent of the buildings and
in general of the affairs committed to
our care"
It was President Washington who
suggested the need of a superintendent.
He realized the necessity of a more
minute supervision of the business of
the new city than was possible from the
nonresident Commissioners, who made
monthly visits to the city. On learning
of the Presidents views in this matter
the Commissioners more than two years
ago gave notice that constant ctten-
dance will be given" by themselves "or
by q person properly authorized at their
Office in Georgetown"
Mr.. Blodgett became officially con-
nected with the city about a year ago
(January S, 1881 as supervisor in the
sale of lots, and proposed a. lottery the
chief prize of which was to be q hotel
to be erected here. This has led to
difficulties, however, apd Mr.. Blodgett
was dismissed as supervisor in the lat
ter part of January of this year. al
though he was thanked for his interest
and assistance In advancing the affairs
of the city.

Fashions of Today.
BY MARIE SHALMAR,
Three Answers.

What is new?
What is correct?
What is becoming?
These three questions indicate three
different types of women, or, rather,
different attitudes that women take
when they turn their thoughts to mat
tiers of dress.
In q general sort of way, every nor
mally minded woman wants to wear
dresses, hats and accessories that are
new enough not to look old-fashioned.
that are correct enough not to cause
unfavorable comment and that are not
actually unbecoming. But when my
friend Mrs. Jones thinks of buying q
new hat she is drawn to the shop that
has the reputation of showing the very
newest things from Paris: when Mrs.
Smith plans to buy a new street suit,
she first makes inquiries to find out
what sort of suit is correct for street
wear and then insists on getting Just
that sort, while Mrs. Robinson tries on
hats and suits that are heralded as the
latest thing from Paris and others that
are recommended because OF their strict
correctness and chooses to buy none of
them If they do not prove especially be-
coming to her own type Of good looks.
