available, as technological changes proceed, will present many prob- lems requiring individual solution" " rather than proving susceptible to solution by blanket measures. he declared.
 Nevertheless, many industries will adopt the five-day week during considerable parts of the year at least" he said.
 Professor Callan, before joining the Business School faculty, was q widely known business executive. He was connected with the General Electric Company for many years and later was with the Eastern Manufacturing company.
 "The present low level of em- ployment is traceable in substantial part to inadequacy of the credit structure, particularly lack of con- trol of long-term credit Professor Callan declared. Shorter hours as remedy correlates particularly with technological unemployment. Roughly, in the two score years prior to the depression, machinery and the organization of industry had enabled the average industry worker to do the work formerly done by three, to draw the wages of the three, and to release the other two for jobs that the same industrial and technical advances provided. Thus there had been a sort of race between technOlogical employment and labor-saving un- employment, which had ended not quite in dead heat. since hours had been somewhat shortened. and unemployment was rising before the depression. So far, industrial advance has provided us with great increase in goods and q small increase in leisure.
 Some have figured from a simple arithmetical relation be- tween number of industrial em- ployes and number of man-hOurs of available employment. that a five-day week would about take care of the situation. The figures are interesting, but the matter is not so simple as this. Nevertheless certain drifts and trends seem to be discernible. Increase Tn man. hour output is continuing, probably at an accelerating rate, and while there may be some new product just over the horizon that will match the appeal of the motor car, 1t Is not yet in sight. Once the credit structure is reconstructed, the question will be whether the development of new things that people will be fast enough to re- employ the men eliminated bl labor saving machinery, processes and methods, without shortening the average working hours per week Of course the actual schedule of very many plants now is eqivalent to less than five day week."

Denial that he is seeking adj

was made today by Judge John r.

He says he is asking for the same

Judge Jan. l, 1881, and that under
the law basing the number on pop

additional probation officers.
NO change in salaries is con-
templated. Geckler asserts. point
ing out that they we're fixed three
or Tour years ago and prior to his
assuming his duties.
Regarding 81 ,500 item for travel
ing expense, Geckler asserts it is for
use in conveying children to in
situations, and that no such ex-
pense is provided for the juvenile

impair the efficiency of the Juvenile

But alone, unsupported by ter

period when men and women and
children are hungry and care not
for mere words and threats, the
power of the drys is gone.
Yet because they have felt the
lash of the Anti-Saioon League and
the w. c. T. U. once before, or
thought they felt it, many legisla-

visions Of dry retaliation if they vote
for repeal.
The "out" for these timid men,

AT any rate, you have Jack Sharkey as your new

Ten of Fifteen Ringside Experts
Give Make Ed ge Over Sharkey

Said Sharkey as he stood under
the shower, We'll, boys, I certainly
proved that I do not fall down in
a crisis. I guess I came through
this time all right, What's all this
talk about my losing my head, eh?"
Sharkey's left eye was swollen
almost shut, and his face was Slight
ly Redeemed from blows.
"Schmeling didn't hurt me once,
but found him difficult to fight be-
cause of his flashing counters. He
is certainly an improved man over
the fellow who met me two years
ago."
Schmeling, in his dressing room,
claimed Sharkey fouled him six
times with low blows during the
bout, and that these fouls should
have counted in the official scoring,
even if the officials overlooked the
fact that he had chased Sharkey all
over the ring for fifteen rounds.

fight won easily in my corner. The
announcement came as a terrible
shock to me-"
Schmeling Sprained his right
thumb in the fifth round, and he
almost knocked the nail off his left
thumb. His left eye was slightly
swollen and his lower lip slightly
cut.
Jacobs said it was doubtful if he
would take any action regarding
the decision, because lit probably
wouldn't be any use" He said
Schmeling would continue fighting.
and he hoped to obtain a return
match with Sharkey.
All! Another bout! Now, there's
