SOFTENER NOW
IMPROVED

An item Of special interest to
Washingtonians is the new elec-
trically controlled, completely au-
tomato Permutit water softener
now being offered locally by
Water SoftenerS, Inc, located at
1912 Seventeenth St. N. w. This
softener is offered in several
styles so as to meet every require
ment of the home owner. The
process of flushing and cleaning
periodically is automatically cared
for.
Coincident with appearance of
the 7ermutit automatic, a small
faucet-type softener was inro'
duced to the public. 1t is built
upon the same principle that has
made Permutit famous through
the world. In compact form, it
has most of the advantages of
the household models and is port
able and thus of benefit to tray
elers.

BOTTOM IS SEEN
FOR WAGES

The Alexander Hamilton In
stitute's current weekly bulletin
finds that factory wages on the
average have been fully deflated.
Though some downward adjust
ment of wage scales is expected
in individual industries, further
deflation in prices should be &C
complished without additional
wage-cutting.
According to institute figures,
wage scales in January were 28.5
per cent below the peak in 1929.
This decrease was sufficient to
permit a reduction of .38 per
cent from the 1929 average price
level of manufactured goods, due
to an increase in output per
man-hour and to the fact that
wage-earners in 1929 were re-
ceiVing less than their usual share
of gross factory income.
The average price level of
manufactured goods has not yet
declined to the level in line with
January wage scales. The price
average of manufactured goods
in January was 24.9 per cent be
low the 1929 level whereas wage.
scales permitted a 38 per cent
reduction.
If costs are still too high to
permit the proper deflation of
prices, the time has come when
the downward adjustment of
costs must involve items other
than labor costs, the institute
holds.

TRADE EXPECTED
Unemployment at Present
Acute, but Naval Work
Is Hoped For.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The ship
building industry, capsized by the severe
depression squalls of recent years, still
finds itself almost completely SUBJ
merged, but 1t is hoping for clearer
weather.
The records show that on May /,
1888, there was not single Seagoing
merchant vessel under construction in
American shipyards. A few small craft
for bay and harbor service constituted
the only commercial work under way.
AS result, employment in the ship
building industry of the United States
now is at the lowest point since the
war. Repairing of ships also is prac-
tically at standStill, due to the large
amount Of idle tonnage and to the pol
icy Of deferring repairs wherever pos
sible.
All Naval Construction.
The total work in progress in private
shipyards consists largely OF naval con,
struction and even that Is of limited
volume One airplane carrier, one
cruiser. two destroyers and one sub
marine-all well advanced toward COM
pletion-and one cruiser just begun,
complete the list.
The value of this unfinished business
on January /, 1888, was estimated at
S29,O00,OO0, the low mark for the past
five years. The peak figure was
reached on January !, 1880, with $780,
900 900 of such business.
Employment in the country's private
shipyards averaged 10000 in 1881, but
for the quarter ended March 81, 1888,
this had sunk to 8,700.
Analyses show that labor in allied
industries which manufacture ship
building materials and equipment Is
equivalent to the labor required by the
shipyards for the actual construction
of the vessels.
The National Council of American
Shipbuilders, which compiled the sta

tistics, in discussing the predicament OF
the industry, says:
THE age of our merchant vessels
will, in time, bring about a renewal OF
shipyard activity, but the general de-
preston in business that now prevails
which extends to shipping. will retard
the return of prosperity to the ship
building and ship repairing industries
and the future outlook for private
merchant shipbuilding construction will
not in any way relieve the present sit
uation in unemployment which is acute
The only relief Is a hope in a substan-
tial participation in the building OF
any naval vessels that may be au-

Mining Claim Owners
 Protect Mineral Holdings

The filing of notices of in- tention to hold mining claims under the act suspending per formance of annual assessment work for the year ending July 1 has kept the local Recorders office somewhat busy this week. Some 40-odd claim owners who were exempted from income tax payments in 1882 took advantage of the act to retain their property with 0 u performing assessment work, their filings covering nearly 300 claims. A small number who performed their work last year also filed the usual affidavit of labor.
 The filings indicate that there has been a considerable reduction in the number of claims held in the district since 1929, probably owing to the economic difficulties of the past three years. Indications point to many of the claim own CTS having subjected their hold ings to a sort of weeding-out process in which they retained only the really worthwhile locations, leaving the others to revert to the public domain. Just how many claims have been dropped is difficult to say but the number appears to be extensive.

 Delegate Dimond has assem- ibled in his Alaska program ev- cry legitimate project present ed for consideration but has re jected anything containing sug- gestion of pork barrelism" which might endanger the en- tire program, according to ad- vices from the national capital.
 One of the most important projects on his list, and also one of the most important to the Territory, is the American section of the proposed Inter- national Highway and Mir. Di- mond intends to present every argument in it's favor, the re- ports say.
 Although the advices re- ceived make no mention of it, the Delegates program will unquestionably include the Sal mon River flood control pro- ject, to which he has already devoted considerable effort with very gratifying results.

 Whereas the Alaska salmon fisheries are by far the most important of all Alaskan in- dustries and the main source of Territorial wealth production, and
 Whereas the people of Alas ka are now deprived of the ad- ministration and the full bene fits of said industry by reason of the control thereof being at present vested in the Federal government, and 
 Whereas the Territory of Alaska is fully capable and fi- nancially able to undertake and maintain adequate control and administration of said fish cries, it is
