mark, such as velvet dresses.
Clothes should also be worn care
fully. Wrinkles that run across
the middle of the front of coat
may be caused by sitting down in a
tightly fitting garment before it has
been loosened. Buttons and buckles
may pop off rapidly no matter how
tightly they are sewed on whsa a
garment is pulled off with too much
zeal and speed.
Bulges in sleeves generally come
from unnecessary leaning on ell
bows, while bulges in the back of
coats and skirts may come from too
much sitting or incorrect sitting. A
coat should be taken off at the
theatre instead of sitting on it. II
a skirt has been put on too hurried
ly without strengthening it out, a
bulge often appears in the back.

not likely, although still possible,
that the trestle bridge will be taken
out before then, either by high
water or by ice, and the structure
now being built will be impervious
to either of these menaces.
Work on the superstructure Of the
bridge will start in the next few
days, as the center pier nears COM
pletion. Steel piling is being driven
in a double circle for this pier,
which will be filled part way up
with large rocks. A layer of con-
crete will then be poured on top Of
this and the pier will be completed.

PAYROLL At Coulee
Hits 100000 Week
Wage Lists Hold 26l5 Names;
Pile Drivers Busy On
Three Fronts
BY NELSON A. CHENEY

NIfLk1NJ OoOdCIGl 012IA ID II
Although officials of the MWAK
will not reveal the exact payroll of
the company, it is believed, by un-
official check-ups that the week
ly sum Is in the vicinity OF $780,
600.
Last week the payrolls listed 2615
men in the entire area, including
all the contractors. OF those, pos
sibly SO per cent are skilled. work
men, while the remaining half is
divided between semi-skilled and
unskilled. The skilled workmen re-
ceive at least $1.20 per hour, with
the rest of the scale running down
through 80 cents, rs cents, IS cents
and so cents for common labor. On
this basis, it is estimated that the
payroll will come within a few
thousand one way or the other OF
100000.
Three Sections Busy
The StacatJo changing Of hammers
on steel piling resounds over the
dam area day and night, as work
progresses on three fronts; the
southwest closure section, where
work was first started; the sections
which run up against the hill to-
wards the west conveyor; and the
sections on the rivers edge approx
mately in the middle Of the Golfer
dam.
No official record is being kept
of the number of feet of steel pill
ing being driven, either per day or
over the entire job as far as it has
progressed, officials said. However,
several trucks are kept busy haul
ing in additional ribbons of steel
down the speedbal highway from
Coulee City. Six of these pilings,
IS feet long, make up load for the
largest trucks on the run, although
the huge Walters six-wheel drive
truck of the MWAK hauls twice this
many.
Eight of the midern houses built
by the government for members OF
the Bureau of Reclamation staff are
already filled, with more men PLAN
ming to move as soon as additional
houses are completed AL Darland,
senior engineer, and second In COM
mand of the Bureau, was the first
to move into the model town, hav-
ing lived in Almira until now.
Others are following daily, as
N ional Construction company,
holders of the contract for the first
80 houses near the end of their job.
Mcdonald and Gummere who are
to build the second group of 80
houses are speeding along. The
Metropolitan Shade company OF
Wenatchee has the contract for
installing the linoleum in the hous-
es, and have two men employed
steadily at this work.
May Appoint Coroner
The possibility that deputy cor
oner might be appointed for Mason
City by Okanogan county is meet
ing with acclaim here, especially
among newspapermen, who spend
much of their time chasing UNI
founded ru1nors of accident and of
deaths.
At present, it is necessary for
death certificates to come from the
State Health department. at Grand
Coulee whenever person dies in
the district. 1t is possible that the
person appointed by Okanogan
county would serve in a similar cap
acity for Grant county, as the lat
ter has no officer here.

however, there is grumbling. There
is still talk of the extravaganza OF
relief Anything less than stark star
vation seems to be too much.
An interesting sidelight on the in
ner feelings of the barons of industry
is gained from a recent pronounce
ment of the Congress of American
business and industry, which recently
concluded a meeting at White Sui
phur Springs. This solemn statement
was born at that congress: 1T is folly
to continue relief so eXtravagant that
it undermines the morale OF those
who receive it."
The Austin American never knew
! that anyone had been recipient OF
"relief so eXtravagant" that any in
telligent person could have the au-
dacity to call it folly" Statistics
and calculations are not necessary to
convince anyone who has been Ob1i-
gated to accept relief how much is
required. but nevertheless scientific
Investigations have been made and in
the light of the statement of the
well-fed industrial baronS and big
business mOguls the findings are in
teresting The Heller committee of
the University of California after a
careful and thorough survey finds
| that it requires a minimum of S75.68
per month to provide family of four
with bare necessities. These figures
allow S733 for utilities, SIS for rent,
S5O35 for food and clothing. Com
pare these figures with current re-
| lief allowances and compare them
with the scale set for work relief
projects, and then try to figure out
the folly" of relief so eytravagant."
No one sympathizes with the in
dolent and those who refuse to work.
The actual number of that kind. how
ever, constitute negligible fraction.
While the willing labOrer plods up
and down the street seeking the job
| that does not exist, the barOns lounge
| in the beauties of gorgeous White
Sulphur Springs, lamenting the gen
erosities' of our government to the
| hungry.
These same barOns lament the lack
of markets for their goods. They
rush to the Reconstruction Finance
corporation or some other government
lending agency to get help to pay
dividends on "watered" stock. If
these same men would be willing to
recognize the right of all humans to
earn living, to enjoy part OF
the abundance of our wealth, to share
few of the luxuries of our land, they
would have no worries over the vol
ume of their business.
DecentraliZe this buying power and
America will witness the greatest era
of prosperity it has ever seen. Pro-
duce not for profit, but for use. Until
that is done the government will have
to continue to subSidiZe workers,
whether big business calls it folly
or some other name.

HIGH WAGES, But

Comparatively high wages look good
and naturally employees welC ONE them,
but it requires something moIe funda-
mental, more far-reaching and other
good aspects Of employment to make
for security. nigh wages 90 net
count for so much if the employment
Is very Irregular, nor does it mean
much if those wages are loit oiticon.ins
only to men in their very best and
most vigorous years.
If men ale used as machines driv-
ell hard and must produce a given
amount of work each hour or day it
is natural that only men in their best
years can stand the "gaff." AS the
machine-tO-be passes given place in
an automobile factory certain Iart.i
must be put on by wOrkmen. If net
done the workmen are soon checked
out
With reference to high wages and
the publicity secured by one certain
motor company for paying those
wages The Nation comments as fol-
lows:
accompanied by the usual fanfare
of publicity, the Ford Motor company
has raised its minimum wage from S.
to Sc a day and given a small increase
to workers in the higher-paid cate
gories. As a result Mr.. Ford is once
more being held up for appreciation
as the true apostle of the gospel of
high wages-America's answer to the
'isms' of Europe. Although the in
crease is doubtless a genuine one and
may be welcomed as sign of better
times i'm the automobile industry, the
satisfaction which it engenders should
not blind us to the fact that Ford's
labor policies remain among the most
reactionary in the country. No other
large corporation is so ruthless in
wedding out its older employees: none
furnishes less protection against the
hazards of unemployment and age:
and none is so uncOmprOmising in its
opposition to labor organizations.
While daily wages in the automobile
industry have been considerably high
er than the average for the United
States as whole they have been
more than offset by the extremely
high cost of living in Detroit and by
the notorious irregularity of employ
ment i'm the industry. The recent
NRA investigation showed that ex-
cluding the Packard Company. which
has maintained remarkably stable
employment conditions, approximately
20 per cent of the automobile work
ers received less than $1,000 in 1894
while a third obtained less than $500,
