NEW YORK, January 8.-About a
year ago Henry Ford announced he
would pay the equivalent of Detroit
wages in each of his two-score Euro
pean factories and assembly plants.
The international labor office at Geneva
agreed to find out how much this would
amount to in the different countries
Jonathan Mitchell, London economist
and writer, reports that several coun-
tries, including Italy and Spain, tried
to have the investigation stopped, but
1t went on, even against the opposition
of both governments and many Euro
pean manufacturers.
Taking Great Britain as equal to 100
units, recent figures of the international
labor Office show comparative wage
levels in terms of real wages, such
as food and clothing of the four great
European powers and the United States,
to be as follows:

Drunken Driver.

1t is not debatable that an ordinary
dose of alcohol, whether it purports to
be medicine or beverage, modifles body
functions. If it did not, no one would
take drink. People who drink mod
erately or socially or occasionally take
it not for the taste OF the liquid but for
the effect 1t produces. They like the
action Of alcohol on body functions.
What is the action? What functions
are modified by glass Of wine. say?
For one thing, the circulation Is
quickly modified There is a flushing
of the surface from depression of the
vasomotor nerve control center in the
medulla and consequent relaxation Of
the surface ateroles. Along with this
there is depression OF the heart and
consequent increase in the pulse rate.
A weakening heart always beats
faster. The individual taking the wine
feels warmer because Of the flushed skin,
but his feelings deceive him, for actu-
ally his body temperature is lowered, II
anything. as we find If we measure 1t
with thermometer. Along with de-
preston of the circulation and the ex-
ceSsive dissipation of body heat through
the flushed skin surface there is more
or less depression of the vital heat regu-
lattng mechanism of the body depend
ing on the quantity Of alcohol taken.
I said the individual who has taken
a glass of wine Is deceived by his feel
ingS about his body warmth. Along
with the depression of the circulation
and the heat regulating function there
is depression of the cerebral function,
for alcohol is a narcotic from first to

Is more laxative, less reticent or par

All this is scarcely apparent TO the

The law. however. Is hundreds Of
years behind the times. Lawyers are
the most obstinate people in the world.
MY goodness, you should see some of

Everyday Psychology
Obsessions.

ObseSsionS are dominating ideas,
usually morbid in character. There are
two kinds: obsesSive fears and obses-
sive doubts. Both Of these types vary
in degree from mild annoyance to
actual torture. When they assume the
torture stage and stay fixed, the in
dividual is headed toward an institu-
ton for the mentally sick. But since
the line between mental health and
mental sickness can not be strictly
drawn, the possession Of an obSession
Is not necessarily an indication OF in
sanity. The fact IS, obSeSsions are
very common. You might go so FAR as
to say that every one has some obSes-
sion, mild or severe, temporary or
fixed.
The obeessive fears are known among
psychologists as phobias. There Is a
phobia for almost any object: teeth,
eyes, hair, blood, dirt, germs OF all
kinds, darkness, fire, cats, open places,
closed places, etc.
One of the most common Of those
mentioned is the fear OF dirt. The
posseSsor suspects contamination, II
not infection. from everything he
touches; diSlikes to shake hands with
people; to use q tool some one else has
handled; 10 send his clothes to the
same laundry as that Of his neighbor
he estimates none too highly Tor clean
illness.
The phobia for inclosed places causes
some people to faint in theaters, lee
ture halls, ETC. A blood phobia may
cause person to become strict vege-
tartan. Those who have the fire pho
bia soon let 1t be known when they
travel. They seek only fireproof hotels
and refuse to take q room above the
second floor.
The obseSstve doubts are more COM
mon. A good example Is the tendency
Of most women to wonder II they turned
the gas out in the range before leaving
for the matinee or whether they locked
the door before they left, and 50 forth.

Farmer Browns Boy returned to the

plexed-very much perplexed. To be
perplexed Is, you know, to be puzzled:
to be unable to find an explanation for
a thing. Farmer Browns Boy could
find no reasonable explanation for Mr..
Garter Snake being in that caves

lives on the ground ever have got up

 Before she had finished and in the cross-examination, Mrs. Col lings collapsed. Her nerves had been affected and she appeared weary. She will resume when her physicians say her condition per- mits.
 Essentially her story of the rnur- der, insane violence and abduc- tion which she claims took place on board the Penguin, did not vary from previous versions. For the first time, however, the young vii dow admitted she had never seen the gun which her husband kept on the Penguin
 AS she retold the story of her husbands death she claimed she did all she could to save him when the pirates threw him overheard. She knew his hands were tied, Mrs. Ceilings said, but was not aware the murdererS had bound his feet.
 Aside from these facts, her story did not vary. She denied her hus- band had been bootlegger or otherwise engaged in illicit busi- ness and claimed their married life had always been happy one.
