RISE IN AUGUST
EMPLOYMENT IN
U. S. is FOUND
Increase of 8 Per Cent for
Month Reported by
Industrial Board.
By Times Special


NEW YORK, Oct. Am in
crease Of 8.6 per cent in the number
of persons employed and an ad-
vance of 90 per cent average hourly
earnings, accompanied by a decline
Of 8.9 per cent in average hours of
work per week during the month of
August were the outstanding de-
velopments in manufacturing in
dustry, according to the regular
monthly survey made by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference board.
Average hourly earnings of wage
earners in twenty-five manufacture
ing industries reporting to the con-
ference board rose from ass cents
in July to 49.7 cents in August, or
90 per cent, while average hours of
work per week fell from 42.6 to 1873,
or 8.9 per cent. The net result of
these two developments was a Slight
rise of 10 cents, or S per cent, in
average weekly earnings, which
were $19.15 in July and $1925 in
August. Since, however, the cost of
living rose relatively more between
these two months than did average
weekly earnings, real weekly earn
ings declined 1.8 per cent.
Weekly Pay Is Up
The number Of persons employed
increased 8.6 per cent in August
over July and, since the contents oil
the average weekly pay envelope in
creased slightly in August, total pay
roll disbursements In the twenty
five manufacturing industries rost
over 9 per cent. Total man hours
worked were IL per cent less If
August than in July. In the aggre.
gate the changes noted reflect the
governments industrial policies
rather than increased business &C.
tivity.
Female labor benefited relatively
most from the adoption Of mini
mum rates of pay. The average
hourly earnings Of women rose from
1913 cents in July to 1862 cents ir
August, or 1875 per cent. Their av-
erage hours of work per week were
reduced from 428 to 1871, or II pei
cent. Average weekly earnings o.
female labor rose from $12.93 tt
1888, or 7 per cent.
Unskilled Share Rise
Average hourly earnings of I'm.
skilled male labor advanced from
37.5 cents in July to 400 cents il
August, or 81 per cent. A reduc.
ton of 10 per cent in the average
hours of work, from 442 to 1913
however, lowered the average week
ly earnings in this class from $16.4S
in July to $16.17 in August, or Is
per cent.
Average hourly earnings of semi
skilled and skilled male workers in
creased from SIT cents in July to ST
cents in August, or 83 per cent;
average hours Of work declined from
43.4 to 1877, or 9.5 per cent, while
average weekly earnings increased
from $21.99 to $22.16, or 8 per cent
during the same period.

MADDEN-COPPLE
WINS ACCLAIM
Repair Shop Is Popular
With Drivers All Over
State.

The Madden Company, Capitol
avenue and st. Clair street, not
only has a local reputation as one
of the best automobile repair shops
in the city, but also is known
throughout the state. 1t has no dis
trict branches, but its popularity is
evidenced by the fact that many
out state Hoosiers come to this city
and this shop for repair work.
The company does general auto
mobile repairing, as testifies its
motto: Nothing is Too Large,
Nothing Is Too Small" These serv-
ices include brake adjusting, body
and fender repairing, simonizing,
ducing and painting. Wheel
alignment is a speciality.
Madden-Copple Company has
been in continuous operation for
twenty-five years, and its president
and general manager, Charles F.
Campbell, has been with the firm
since its beginning. The shop now
has layout of approximately $4,000
square feet, and new equipment is
being added constantly. 1t is open
twenty-four hours daily.

Ten-Room House Equipped
by General Electric Is
Ultra Modern.

By Times Special
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Oct. g.
A laboratory home, freed by science
and engineering from dirt, dust and
the excuses Of temperature and
humidity, automatically adjusted to
individual comfort and health in
any kind of weather, has been
opened for inspection here by engi-
neerS of the General Electric Com
pany as state health authorities
were invited to see the results Of
long period Of air conditioning
research and development.
The pleasant ten-room house was
taken over by the company several
months ago and fitted with every
possible indicating and recording
device having to do with tempera-
ture, humidity, air circulation and
cleanliness. It's walls were torn
out and fitted with air ducts.
Engineer in Basement
More than hundred ther1no-
couples were installed from attic to
basement, making it possible to de-
termine the temperature at any
time at three levels between floor
and ceiling. This Indoor" weather
is controlled and recorded in an
instrument room in the basement of
the house, which is inhabited by
Elliott Harrington, General Electric
air conditioning engineer, and his
family.
The proving home was put through
its PAGES for the benefit of visitors
It's temperature was changed at
times at the rate of one degree a
minute. With a temperature of 70
degrees outside, the indoor Their
mometers went from rs to "a de-
grees and back to 76 again in forty
five minutes. A rapid increase OF
humidity during a heating period
was shown and correspondingly
rapid decrease during cooling.
Engineers pointed out that ap-
proximately four quarts of water
should be in the house air under
ideal conditions, and that less than
quart would be in the air during
cold weather, without the air-condi-
tioning system in operation.
Dirt Taken From Air
Two quarts of dirt was shown.
This had been taken from the all
by the filters of the system in one
month. A sensitive dust-counting
instrument was demonstrated which
counted from 100 to 200 particles OF
dust per cubic centimeter in the
outdoor air, and about 300 particles
indoors, where there was no air fill
tering. With the air conditioner in

STEEL PIER HAS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Atlantic City Crowds Boost
Holiday Attendance.

Summing up the seasons activ-
tiles both from attendances and eff
fectiveness of the attractions
booked, the meeting Of the board
of directors of the Atlantic City
Steel Pier Company, held recently,
disclosed facts Of potent interest at
this time.
The Steel Pier attendances showed
a normal average for the year to
date. Single holiday attendances
were, however, in excess of 1892.
Within these the all-time day rec
ord for Labor day Sunday over the
thirty-six years of Steel Pier activ-
ity, occurred Sept. 8 last, when an
attendance of 1921 for the day was
totaled.

NRA LEISURE'S
BENEFITS CITED
Survey Reveals Buying Is
Stimulated by Fewer
Workinq Hours.

Increased leisure among the en-
ployed due to NRA soon will cause
a great buying wave, according to
Howard E. Blood, president of the
Norge Corporation, division Of
Borg Warner.
THE average length Of the work.
ing day." said Blood, was eleven
and four-tenths hours in 1910. Then
every one came home so tired at
night there was little time or in
clination to enjoy living. AS the
average decreased to nine hours in
1920, consumption increased cores
pondingly, showing clearly that
distribution is increased not only by
ability to buy but also by greater
leisure to enjoy.
Normally, there are 1882 ,589
workers in this country of whom
not more than Is per cent are now
unemployed 1t is estimated that
MIRA has lowered the average hours
of the working week by at least
eight, which means that nearly
32O,OOO,0O0 new leisure hours in
which to enjoy life each week have
been given to the employed classes
who already are earning, and, in
most cases, have had their wages
recently.
"a survey among Office employees
in Milwaukee who were queried to
learn what they were doing with
their added leisure caused by NRA
revealed that so per cent of the wo-
men spent more time shopping in
department stores and 80 per cent
of the men reported it has resulted
in more buying than usual.
I'm certain textile cities, like New
Bedford, Mass, families who worked
so long they never saw each other
at last are working less hours for
more money and retail buying has
more than doubled.
''All this convinces me that in
creased leisure among the employed
is one of the most significant bene-
fits Of NRA and it is likely to spur
a great buying wave"

STATE HIGHWAY
HEADS CONSIDER
FUTURE NEEDS
Indiana Road Official Says
Identification Is Aim
of Program.
By Times Special

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Foorseeing
continual growth in population, In
diana's highway commission has
planned its road program To take
care Of future as well as present
needs and is giving greater con-
sideration to the Identification Of
highways.
James D. Adams, chairman OF the
commission, outlined the highway
plans for highway progress ex-
hibit at A Century Of Progress. A
special exhibit of letters from high
way officials has been displayed in
General Motors building.
General Motors Corporation wrote
every highway commission in the
country in the course Of the roads
progress survey, results Of which
indicated that highway construction
in the United States between July
l, 1888, and July l, 1884, would
proceed faster than ever before,
with plans pointing to total high
ways expenditures Of nearly S2,0O0,-
100000.
Appropriation HaStened
The stimulation afforded by pub
lie funds voted in the drive on I'M
employment and President Roose-
velt's expressed desire that all pos
sible projects be undertaken within
a single year, were expected to
haten allotment Of the S400,000,O 900
voted by congress for roads in the
MIRA.
The highest previous total spent
on roads in one year was $780,
493,095, expended in the calendar
year 1880. The figures obtained by
the survey were checked against
statistics published by the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce,
the United States bureau of public
roads and the American Automo-
bile Association.
Regarding Indiana's roads, Mr..
Adams said: Improvement in the
construction of highways is keeping
pace with the improvement in mo-
tor cars. Smoother riding surfaces,
better alignment, wider culverts and
bridges, the elimination of grade
CROSSINGS, IIle lldbJelllllS VI NtA FCo'
wider roadways and generally i'm
proved design are being reflected
in our newer construction.
Economic Design PasSe
"The time is rapidly upon us
when people are giving thought to
beautiful highways rather than the
hard economic design of the past
few years of the commercial age
through which we have just passed.
In road building today, thought
should be given to the immense
increase in population which is
bound to come to America as the
years increase. Proper forethought
now will be a boon to our pos
terity."
The National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce figures credit
Indiana with 6,972 miles of state
highway, 97.1 per cent surfaced, at
the opening of 1892. State and local
highways, 1880 figures, totaled 1873
miles.

from 6 cents to 80 cents barrel.
The new price range is from 40 cents
to 96 cents barrel
The sharpest cut was made at the
Elwood Terrace field. where 81 gravity
oil was cut to SO cents from $128
The company made no explanation of
the cut. but oil men have professed to
feel reduction would be necessary to
discourage production above market
capacity.
Daily average production in Cali
fornia last week was 463.3c0 barrels,
the American Petroleum Institute re-
ported. The estimated maximum mar
ket demand was 100000 barrels.
