Rise In Wages Told
By Sweden S Prince
Gustav Adolf Tells Chicago
Swedes Conditions
Similar To u. S.

Chicago (ILNS).-A more demo-
cratic country and government, with
more genuine equality before the law
than exists today in Sweden, can hard
ly be found anywhere on earth, said
Crown Prince Gustav Adolf, of Swe-
den, addressing $4,000 mid-westerners
Of Swedish origin in mass demon
stration at Soldiers Field. The appear
ance of the Crown Prince was the eli
max of three day celebration of the
anniversary of the landing of the first
Swedish colonists in America. He said:
at is very difficult to make re-
liable comparison between the wage
conditions in two different countries,
because the price level in both places
may be very different, and | shall not
attempt here to give any absolute
figures, but it can be said as gen
eral conclusion, that the wage level in
the mentioned fields in Sweden-indus-
trial work and labor in communica-
tions, commerce and the like-has
risen sharply during the last thirty or
forty years.
SWeOlSn wages flSn
81 should think that if one takes
cognizance of certain factors, the
wages in Sweden, which before the
war were very much lower than in
the United States, have now risen to
such high level that they are to be
found in close proximity to the Amer
lean. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
really skilled industrial workers now
adays are we'll paid in Sweden, some
thing which is just as it should be-"
Turning now to the Swedish democ
racy, the Prince told his fellow
Swedes, "maybe many of you have
your memories either directly or
through hearsay from the time be-
fore the rise of democracy in our
country. Those times are now long
since gone.
People Are COntented
81 can assure you that a more
democratic country, a more thorough
ly democratic government, and more
genuine equality before the law than
exists in Sweden can hardly be found
anywhere on earth. | also believe
that the Swedish people are content
because of this. We can in Sweden,
in reality, not conceive Of anything
else than a free and democratic So
ciety, based upon confidence and CO.
operation between people of various
social positions, between rich and poor,
high and low"

SwifuIski Named
To New BuiIdinq
Commission Post
Selected to Represent Labor
By Governor DdveY
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By OhlO Labor News SerVlce)
Columbus, O.-Edward Switalski,
secretary of the Portsmouth Central
Labor Council for the past 25 years
and we'll known throughout the state
as popular Labor leader, was named
last week by Governor Martin l..
Davey to represent Labor on the Com
mission whRh will administer the re-
Gently created State Building Au-
thority.
D. A. Carmichael, Columbus archi-
tect and engineer, was also appoint
ed last week to serve in that qualified
position on the Commission. Appoint
ment of the third member, who must
be a practical business man, was de-
layed pending acceptance of the post
by Toledo man to whom it had been
rendered.
The Authority was created by the
92nd General Assembly in it's recent
special session, with the Commission
given the power to issue $500 GOO in
bonds, to be matched by $6,O00,00O Of
Federal funds, for use in an extensive
welfare building program in the state.
Upon completion of the projects
contemplated in the program, the
State will begin payment Of rent for
use of the various buildings in amounts
which will amortiZe the bonds issued
by the Authority over a period not to
exceed 25 years.
When all of the bonds have been
li,o,t
charge of the buildings, and the work
of the Authority and its administrative
Commissioners will be ended.
In addition to providing badly need
ed facilities for the housing of the
states wards in mental and cor
rectional institutions, the building
program will provide employment for
thousands of building tradesmen dur
ing the course of construction.
Swtalski, who has also served as
state secretary of the Plumbers Union
for years, will serve on the Commits
sion until February 80, 194l, at an an
nual salary of $1,000. His appointment
must be confirmed by the Senate.
Governor Davey had earlier an
nounced the appointment of Edgar
Baker, secretary of the Newark Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, as chief inspector
for the Building Authority.
The measure creating the State
Building Authority had the active sup
port Of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor and the Ohio State Building and
Construction Trades Council when it
was being considered by the Legisla-
ture.

extension at the rear of the piece
with a top supply stuck on, are sold
at the same prices as the old wash
down tank combinations. How sound
kiln plants, making two fire ware, can
do this is not known. Several of the
large companies with profits last year
of 81 100000 and $9,O00,O00, no doubt,
can hold out at this give-away game.
We are still Of the opinion that the
heads of sanitary potteries through
out the country should come to an un-
derstanding in order to be able to
place their ware on the market at a
profit while paying fair wages.
You cannot expect the workers to
lend encouragement to another cut
throat price war in sanitary while the
government is doing so much to en-
courage building boom and telling
us very plainly that any reduction in
wages is not giving the worker, who
needs the products Of industry, the
means with which to purchase them.

which grow SO closely together In up
to 6 feet of water that the foliage
gives the appearance of dry land from
the air. Other effects, Mr.. Cox says
are that the plant catches all manner
Of filth and dead fish and threatens
to increase the breeding OF mosquitoes
in the Washington area.
In the last few years ducks and
geese, which used to feed in Potomac
inlets have more and more been oo-
served to continue their flight south
ward without stopping.
Mr.. Cox. as well as Government
off1cials, believe the Objectionable
plant-which was artincially intro
duced into the river some or 10 years
ago-will increase rapidly as each
plant bears an average of IS nuts and
each nut is, Of course, responsible for
a new plant.
The eradication Of this plant, it has
been found, must be accomplished
during its early growth, before the
nuts have been developed. Chemicals
will kill fish, so that cutting Of the
foliage or, uprooting Of the plant is
the only feasible and effective method.

Water Chestnut Ne,u Threat
To Fish and Birds Near Here

With the duck-shooting season on
its way, Washington sportsmen are To-
cusing their attention on the newest
threat to waterfowl on the Potomac
the Japanese water chestnut-which
has made rapid headway this summer.
In communication to The Star,
Albert L. Cox, Washington sportsman,
says it threatens to put an end to
hunting and fishing in the river at
least to point where strongly salt
water is encountered.
Other local nimrods as we'll as State
and Federal game wardens agree with
this statement. State Game Warden
A. w. Mills of Fairfax County has
recounted the pest now covers more
than 1900 acres between Washington
and Occoquan Bay and is gradually
working its way into the streams that
feed into the river.
Mr.. Cox communicates growth of
the obnoxious water plant began much
earlier in the 1898 season than here
tofore and that it practically filled
?iscataway Creek. Little Hunting Bay
and Creek. Swan Greek and Broad
Greek Bay. In addition the Potomac
River, particularly on the Virginia side,
was hemmed in from the shore line for
miles along the river edge and extend
ing out into the river in some places
for almost two hundred yards. 1t was
noted up the river as far as Hains
Point.
The plant has practically ruined
hunting and fishing where 1t grows.

ducks and geese feed and affects i'm

d. The Society Of the Cincinnati. In
commemoration of the 142d anniver-
eary of George Washington's farewell
address, yesterday placed wreath OF
English ivy on his tomb at Mount
Vernon. Washington was president
general of the society from its founda-
:tion in 1888 until his death in 1899.
. At sundown a delegation of men,
bers was escorted to the tomb by c. c.
Wall. resident superintendent. The
gates were opened and Col. John
Rodgers Meigs Taylor. United States
Army, placed the ivy on the sarcoph-
agus.
. Attached to the wreath was the
following extract from Washington's
address to the Army: And let us
with caution indulge the supposition
that morality can be maintained
without religion-whatever may be
conceded to the influence Of refined
education on minds of peculiar struc-
ture-reason and experience both for
bid us to expect that national morality
: can prevail in exclusion Of religious

; The society announced completion
OF arrangements for the establishment
Of a national museum for the display
Of Revolutionary relics in the house
given by Mrs. Larz Anderson widow
of Capt. Larz Anderson, a member Of
the Cincinnati and former Ambassador
to Japan.
Dedication of the museum as "a
national memorial in the Federal City
to Gen. Washington and the officers
and men Of the Revolutionary Army"
will take place, it is hoped, In 1899 as
part of the sesquicentennial celebra-
ton OF Washington's Inauguration on

Small City Families
Likely to Economic by
Not Consulting Doctor

Observation-Disclosures living
in small midwestern cities care
more likely to economic by not
seeing the dentist, the oculist-or
even the doctor-than by not buying
supplies for the family medicine
chest, when funds run low"
This is the conclusion of a survey
Of medical expenditures made un-
der the direction of DR.. Louise STAN
ley, chief of the bureau of home
economics of the department of ag-
riculture.
The survey was made of 3,118
native white non-relief families liv-
ing in the following representative
cities: Lincoln, ILL.,; Boone, Iowa I;
Columbia and Moberly, Mo-; Mount
Vernon and New Philadelphia, Ohio /;
and Beaver Dam, Wis.
Families with low incomes con-
suit doctors more often than den
lists and almost never see oculists.
Most of them, however, reported
spending some money for medicines
and drugs during 12-month period
of 1935-1936. The amounts spent
for medicine ranged from Sc to $21
per family per year at the differ
ent income levels.
Not until the family income
reached the $500 per year level did
the reports show as many as half
the families consulting a physician.

Human Head Swells in Literal and Not
Metaphorical Sense as Owner Grows Older

DIR. Ales Hrdlicka, the curator Of
physical anthropology at the Smith
sonian institution, has found that
the human head swells in a literal
and not metaphorical sense as its
owner grows older, notes writer in
the New York Sun. The theory is
supported by the testimony of Sir
Flinders Petrie, the eminent archie
ologist and Psychologist, who has
kept tab on his hat sizes through
the years. At twenty size 61a hat
fitted him comfortably; at thirty he
required Z to Tvs; with the passing
of another decade his hat size in
creased by quarter; at fifty an
other quarter was added, and at
sixty his head had outgrown all
standard size hats. The Smithson-
ian considers this record as of more
than usual significance because of
the incessant and continued intel
lectual work of the English archeol-
ogist."

the skull of Turgenev, the Russian
novelist, with a brain capacity Of
1880 cubic centimeters. The aver
age skull capacity is about 1,450
centimeters for men and from 1,250
to 1900 for women. Other mental
giants were Daniel Webster, with
measurement of 1000 cubic cent?
meters; Bismarck, with 1865; Bee
thoven, with 1,750; and Kant, with
1,740. On the other hand, Napoleon's
brain weighed only 68.5 ounces and
Walt Whitman's only 45.3, compared
with the "a ounces registered by
Turgenev's. It follows, therefore,
that sheer weight of brain is not
necessarily an index to high intel
igence. What counts more is the
ozark" or cortex of gray matter
that sheaths the convolutions of the
cerebral hemispheres. The size OF
the dead Aleut's skull does not in
itself prove that he lowered men,
