SAY THEY
CANNOT LIVE ON PAY
APP Newsfeature

Berlin-The fact that the
average German worker can't
make both ends meet any long
er under wage controls in eff
feet since the Nazi era has led
to loud demands for increased
wages.
Trade union leaders have
been pressing occupation au-
thorities for approval of wage
adjustments.
Because wages are out of
line, a number of important
industries, particularly build
ing and metal working, are hav-
ing constant difficulty in re-
cruiting and holding labor.
A study made by the stats
cal offices of the three Ger
man states in the American
zone reported that the average
essential expenditures of a nor
NAL consumers family of five
ranged from ITO to 1875 marks
in a four weeks period. How
ever, there wasn't a single in
dustrial group in which the
average earnings of unskilled
male workers reached that
level.

Out-O-Town Guests
Entertained BY Arts

A group of women from out
of town who are interested in
rng-making were guests of the
Arts and Crafts Rug class at the
center in the Community Activi-
ties Building on 18th street at an
a1l-day session Thursday.
"A valuable part of the session
. was a demonstration on spot dye
: ing given by Mrs. Harrison Otis.
The remainder of the time was
spent working on rugs and at this
time the visitors examined the
finished and the unfinished pro-
ducts and asked questions per-
tanning to the art.
The visitors we're introduced

Of the club. They were Mesdam-

Earning data available up to
last September showed that
unskilled building workers
averaged only l3l marks in a
four-week period. Even semi
skilled and skilled workers in
a number of industrial groups
earned wages below expendi-
lures.
The study emphasized that
the figures on expenditures
were a conservative estimate of
the cost of essential goods and
services and actually represent
a lower level of consumption
than the one on which the
cost-of-living index is based.
On the latter basis, a family
of five outlay each four weeks
totaled 210 marks last March.

AP Science Reporter

San Francisco - The mys-
FERROUS canals" on Mars have
a tricky way Of appearing and
disappearing in a few seconds,
DR.. Edison Petit Of Mt. Wilson
observatory, has noticed in a
series of weird experiences
while observing the strange
markings on the red planet.
He thinks this phantom-like
quality may be the eason some
sskxperts believe the Marian ca
mails are only an optical illu-
s~sion. For 70 years they have
-been a puzzle to astronomers.
Only a few keen-eyed observ-
ers have reported seeing them.
Of all the photographs taken
of the planet not one indis-
putably shows canals.
Along with a lot of other as
tronomers, DR.. Petit would like
to have photographs actually
showing the mysterious mark
ings. He made a series Of OBJ
servations in an attempt to
determine what would have
TO be done to catch the lines on
a Photographic plate.
With one eye at a small tele-
scope and with sketch book
and pencil in hands DR.. Petit
spent many nights making
drawings of the planets face.
He didn't have much hope of
seeing the canals but thought
he might get an idea for using
"a camera.
That was back in 1893 when
Mars was in a favorable posi-
ton for observation, but the
uncanny things he saw were
reported only recently in the
Publications of the Astronom-
zeal Society of the Pacific.
One morning about 1870 o.
Z clock when optical conditions
were nearly ideal he saw a dark
line shoot northward from a
point near the Marian equator,
starting like a wriggling bolt of
lightning and steadying as 1t
progressed, to a spot not far
from the planets north pole.
The length of the streak APP.
peared to be about $500 miles
and il made the pump in less
than a second.
Almost simultaneously a sec
ond dark line shot from an
other point south of the equa-
tor TO the same spot near the
north pole. A third one appear
ed almost as quickly. The three
Of them made a pattern some
thing like the prongs of a pitch
fork. A short time later a
fourth line appeared.
Through a larger telescope
DIR. Petit later detected addi-
tional lines, some Of which
crossed, forming intersections
which suggested GASES in a
desert. Some of the lines we're
twins, running parallel and
close to each other.
He also noted that with the
advance of the Marian sea
son the large shaded areas of
the planets surface turned
from green to brown. AS the
color changed new lines ap-
peared against the brown back
ground.
To photograph the pattern,
DR.. Petit said, exposures of
not more than one second will
have to be made. In terms of
star Photography that is un-
heard-oF speed. Astronomical
photographs require exposures
sometimes lasting hours.
DR.. Petit and an associate,
DR.. Edwin p. Hubble, who will
be in charge of the 200-inch
telescope now nearing compile
ton on Palomar Mountain, be-
lieve the huge instrument will
produce the first photographs
to show conelusively whether
there are canals on Mars. They
also think the Palomar giant
will indicate whether Mars is
inhabited by intelligent be-
ings.

from other cities to teach the
class.
The class opens first Monday in
October, and continues to the mid
die of April, meeting weekly dur
ing that period. The collection
plate is passed at each meeting
and members contribute to defray
the expenses of the supper. Any
deficit is paid through the associ-
alton budget. Normally the collec-
tions amount to within $50 OF the
actual expense for the year.
The class is self : governing,
e,ecting officers each April to
serve for the ensuing year. These
officers have mo connection with
the management of the association
other than to meet with the Re-
ligious Work committee to formu-
late policies.
For the past four years the class
has studied the International Sun
day School Le,son and many min
listers and teachers OF mems class
es attend in preparation for the
teaching of the lesson the follow
ing Sunday.
The class meets at $50 pm,
for the fellowship supper and the
study period begins at 7 pm. The
supper and the study period COM
bined last for a total Of one hour,
thus releasing the men at 7:30 p.
m. for any further engagements
they may have for the evening.
The class had an average attend
ance of IS men during the past
season.
One of the things that make this
large body of men unique in their
Bible study is found in the fact
that from week to week the same
men gather with their friends

Fellowship Bible Class
To Celebrate 5Oth Year
By ROBERT L

The Mcclure Fellowship Bible
Glass of che Young Mems Chris
tan association of Wilmington will
celebrate it's 50th anniversary at
Kenan Memorial of st. Andrews
Covenant Presbyterian church,
18th and Market streets, Tuesday,
at 7 pm.
Wilson j. Smith, interstate Sec
rotary of YMCA in the Cardinals,
will be the principal speaker.
The Mcclure Fellowship Bible
Class meets at the YMCA every
Monday at $50 pm. and has for
so years been an increa singly po-
tent factor in the religious life Of
Wilmington.
The class was named for the
late DR.. A. D. Mcclure, former
pastor of st. Andrews P%resbyteri-
an church and who taught the
class until his death. The class
started one Sunday morning in the
fall of 1897, whenIa group of young
men went to Thomas c. Digs,
general secretary of the YMCA,
and made plans to get together
from time to time for a period
of Bible study.
They arranged to meet every
Sunday morning in the club room
of the old YMCA building, Front
and Grace street, now occupied by
the Brunswick hotel, principally to
study methods of doing personal
Christian work.
Charles D h a n succeeded
Digs as general secretary and
continued the classes the same as
his successor, Edwin Kettle. -,
When Kettle became general
secretary, the class added a fel-
lowship supper to its program and
became known as the, Fellowship
Bible Class" with the late DR.. Nc
Qure as their regular teacher.
During the period after the old
YMCA building was sold and the
new YMCA building was being
constructed, the YMCA had offices
in the Odd Fellows building and
the class met as usual and re-
sumed supper meetings upon the
opening of the present YMCA in
1913.
When J. B. Huntington, present
general secretary, came to the
city as physical instructor in
April, 1910, he found a very &C
tive interest in the class and has
promoted it continuously since
that time.
During the years following, with
the occupancy of the new building
in the fall of 1913, the class be-
came so popular and interest was
manifested so much in the class
that at times there were more
than 100 men attending the class
regularly and all previous attend
ance records YER broken.
Following the death of DR.. Nc
Clure, and as tribute to him the
organization was renamed the
"McClure F l oWship Bible
Class" The class changed its poll
cy of having n teacher, and
since ministers of various denoml-
nations of the city have taught the
class from time to time, and have
