BY the Associated Press.
Out of every dollars worth Of finished
products manufactured in the United
States. labor Is computed to get about
"a cents.
That average has been determined by
DR.. Tracy E. Thompson. industrial ana
lyst Of the Census Bureau. after inten-
sive fact-finding in the last census 1t
Is based on 1929 manufactures, but DR..
Thompson considers it applicable to
other years.
The variation Of labors share from
one type Of manufacture to another ap-
pears to be in inverse ratio to the Der
centage Of the finished products value
which has gone to raw materials, he
explained.
Trend 70 Conservation.
In the smelling and refining of COP
per, for example. the raw product costs
about 92.5 per cent OF the value of the
finished product. That means q low
per dollar value" ratio for labor.
In making cash registers adding ma
SAAic duu CdiCuIaIOTS, however, raw
materials represent only one-tenth OF
the finished products value.
There has been a decided trend to-
ward conservation of raw materials
since the World War" says the analyst
Manufacturers have made greater use
OF scraps They have developed cheap
er raw materials or synthetic substitutes
to save money"
Findings Being Compiled.
DR.. Thompson's findings, now being
compiled in bulletin form, show that the
net value OF products manufactured in
the United States in 1929 was approx
mately ~ billion dollars. The gross
value was about 10 million.
The difference between the two
about 70 million dollars-is taken up by
trade within manufacturing groups. .
he explained. That Is, materials which
were counted as raw materials several
times as they passed from one stage of
manufacture to another. In the last
census We segregated that duplication by
basing our net figure on raw materials
only"
Agriculture and animal husbandry
produced about two-thirds Of the raw
materials used by manufacturers In the
United States in 1929. Mines. QuArries
and wells supplied about 27 per cent.
About 80 per cent Of the raw materials

Cooper was critically wounded and
was taken to q hospital for an imme-

Sheriff Browning Robinson said he

RevOlvers Confiscated.
Sheriff Robinson and his deputies en-
tered the headquarters Of the Progress

confiscated six revolvers. They made
no arrests.

s. Contract Approved.
Progressive miners voted by q large
majority in referendum Saturday to
accept a IS daily basic wage contract
negotiated by their leaders and repre-
sentatives of independent coal operators
of Central Illinois.
A similar wage scale last Summer was
q factor that led to the Progressives
breaking with the old United Miners
Union and forming their own organiza-
ton.
Progressive leaders claimed to have
enlisted the sympathy Of IS per cent
Of the working miners Of Franklin
County. Agreement of the new union
to the wage scale is thought to have
hastened the attempt to gain control OF

with Great Britain. which has met all
its payments to date, although on Sat-

There has been lot of hokum
brought to the motion picture screen
in the last year or so, but one of the
choicest bits of hooey, so far, is, in
the opinion of Yours Truly, that per-
fectly and much ballyhooed picture,
"Hold Your Man." When junk like
that is supposed to be worth offering
to movie audiences, it's time for a
change. The plot, besides being
worm-eaten and tottering with age,
was made slightly more silly when the
loud, loud-haired Harlow was hitched
in matrimony to herman Gable by a
cullud preacher. I suppose it could
have happened in real life, am not
contending that point because some
mighty strange things occur, but
somehow seeing it on the screen
well, it was just too much! And
Cables smirk is getting to be too
much of habit to be attractive any
longer.
Motion picture producers announce
that there is decided trend toward
wholesome pictures. Little Women
is scheduled to begin the cycle. After
seeing sophisticated, blase and half
fed looking DANES loll through parts
in which the reward of a shady, if
not slightly scarlet life is the love
of the h-h-hero who forgives all in the
last reel, it will be kinda nice to know
you can go to show and take little
Willie with you without fear of his
seeing things he shouldn't see until
he's great, big man. Haw!

which had my name misspelled and
address slightly backwards, but never

Guess folks think my college career

anything.
To L. M. of Franklin Avenue:
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is
the story you refer to in which the
main character escapes from prison
bv allowing himself to be thrown in
to the sea in place of dead man. Oh
course this incident may have hap
pened in some other story also, but
I gather by the way you described
it. Won mean the escape in ''The Count
OF Monte Cristo." The expression
'yell like Comnaanche, " is not from
