INDUSTRY OUTRUNS
FARMING IN EUROPE
Factory Laborers Produce Six
Times as Much Wealth as Agri-
cultural Workers.

GENEVA.-The International Labor
Office makes public document which
oeflneS the processes by which industrial
and agricultural wealth have been pro-
duced in Europe.
wealth of the worker in industrial Eu-
rope was valued at S720 per annum
BY the same method OF calculation in
the rure-y agricultural countries of Cen
trcl Europe the product of the laborer
was only Sl20 year The effect on
trade exchanges was deplorable and ac-
counted for much of the consuming
crisis under which the world was suf-
ter.ng. The Western European worker
was buying the product of six Eastern
workers.
Conclusions arrived at are that~th
industrial worker makes wealth faster
and that any balance which is struck
between an agricultural country and
an industrial country is bound to be
to the advantage of the latter. It is for
this reason that agricultural depend
ent peoples lead less complicated lives
than those CT countries which are es-
sentially producers of textiles and
fabricated metal products Primitive
conditions as against the life of luxury!
Crisis might bring depression to all
classes, but those Of the higher standard
of life would support 1t with greater
social discomfort than those living next
to the soil. For industrial countries it
might be dangerous, for agricultural
countries, where necessities we're still
available, life was still possible

FIRE SWEEPS HOTEL
KILLING 5PERSONS.
Four Others Are Missing in
Springfield, Mass, Blaze.
Check-up Is Slow.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD. Mass December 26.
Five and possibly several more per-
sons met death in a hotel fire here
today. Flames swept three of the four
stories occupied by the new Court
Hotel in a five-story building in the
business district. The known dead.
were Samuel Knight, janitor; his wife
and their 2-Week-old child; Robert
North, elderly employe of the hotel,
and an unidentified man, who may
have been Warren Wight.
A complete check-up was rendered
slow and difficult due to the hasty
dispersion of rescued guests, but police
said check with the register showed
nine persons were still apparently
missing.
Search Is Abandoned.
Because of the condition of the walls
further search, however had to be
abandoned until Monday. The third
floor was sagging and an outer wall
bulged dangerously.
1t was estimated that nearly half
o hundred guests were in their rooms
when the fire, of undetermined origin,
broke out in a guests room shortly
after midnight. Only half an hour
before, police learned Mrs. Della C..
Wilson, owner of the hotel, had dis
covered and extinguished another blaze
in roomer's quarters. The name Of
the guest was withheld pending investi-
cation.
Saves Many SIeepers.
The fire gained rapid headway, and
It was only through the efforts Of
Ernest Mccarthy, nephew of Mrs.
Wilson, that many sleepers were
aroused. Mccarthy suffered several
burns in his dash through the floors.
Some Of the guests made their way
to fire escapes through smoke filled COR
rldors, while others were assisted down
fire ladders.
Mrs. Knight and her child had re-
turned from hospital only a day or
two ago.
Damage to the building and hotel
was estimated in excess of 100000.
A number of stores on the ground floor
were badly damaged.

OHSnOOC Oh Ine luOTu VI
n Glastonbury at Washington
~ Cathedral that, according to
4 4 legend, flowers on Christmas
day. sent forth eight perfect
blooms Friday.
The shrub is grown from a cutting
of the famous Glastonbury thorn OF
England that sprang so tradition has it.,
from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea,
who went to Britain on a mission OF
evangelization after the ascension OF
Christ
The cutting here was planted 80
years ago, but its first Yuletide flower
ing was after the armistice, in 1918.
Very Rev. G. c. F. Bratenahl, Cathedral
dean, wrote OF the blossoms that they
have waited for true Christmas, when
the hearts Of men should be filled with
good will"
Since then the shrub has blossomed
at Christmas several times, but this
years blooms are said to be the best so
far produced
Cathedral officials expect that the
Glastonbury thorn will be an object Of
interest to the throngs which annually
visit the Cathedral at the Christmas
season. On previous occasion when
the shrub f1owered at Christmas the
branches on which the blossoms grew
were outlined with red ribbon SO the
flowers could be seen more readily.
