Labor Statistics Head
Sees Possible Decline
OF 1917 in Living Cost
BY the Assoeioted Press

| PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 31.-A
decline of about 10 per cent in the
cost of living can be expected in
the coming year barring wars
and weather." says the United
States Commissioner of Labor
Statistics.
But there is little reason to an
ticipate a greater decrease, DR..
Evan Clague told a meeting of
the International Association of
Public Employment Services last
night.
Food prices should continue
downward unless buoyed up by the
international situation or climatic
conditions, he said.
Cautioning that the public
should not expect too much in the
way of adjustment, DR.. Clague
said consumer prices neither rise
as rapidly nor fall as far as whole
sale prices.
Warns on Free Rents.
DR.. Clague said rents today are
about 20 per cent above their
1924 peak. If controls We're to
be removed now, he warned. rents
would rise substantially and re-
main high for a number Of years.
To offset this, he said, the
average weekly earnings of wage
earners also reached their all
time high $55 last December. This
figure, in relation to current
prices, gave wage-earners the
most effective purchasing power
they have had since VI day, he
declared.
Unemployment during February
reached a postwar high Of $3.50,
900 and is likely to increase as
much as 100000 this year, DR..
Clague said. This increase will
be caused by school and college
graduations and the additional
discharge of servicemen, he ex-
planned.
Some Failures Seen.

many smaller businesses will go

ginal workers will lose their jobs
in the larger businesses. he said.
In 1850 and thereafter. DR..
IClague said, vast community ef-
fort will be needed to meet the
still unsolved problem of what to
do with older employees.
New occupations will have to
be devised for workers between
As and 60 years of age who no
longer are wanted in business and
industry, DR.. Clague said, because
many of these people will not
want to retire or 60 on pension
and would rather be kept in USE

Action Packed

Continuing and increasing re-
ports of its effectiveness are
proving that Fred Arbogast &
Company's famed topwater
lure, the "Hula Pepper" is
really making fishing history.
The impressive voluntary testi-
mOnials from enthusiastic ang-
lers demonstrate, as nothing
else could, just how deadly the
''popper" is in angling for bass.
A killer, especially for big
bass, the "popper" obeys the
slightest wrist command. 1t
can be made to pop, PUNK,
twitch or jerk at will, or to
make plenty Of noise and con-
fusion on the surface. Two
North Carolina fishermen, Ed
Howell and W. G. Hood, Jr., Of
Goldsboro, claim that eff bass
don't strike 1t, they 'aint'
there" The Hula Pepper floats
when at rest and the small
hula skirt goes into action,
initiating a live bug. It seems
to make bass fighting mad. The
Arbogast company also makes
the copper" in fly-rod size,
and it, too, is bringing in the
bass.

Twenty-seven additional electrodes
are spaced at 3k-foot intervals be-
tween the two probes. !
The power plant, or generator,
Is an alternating current type, belt
driven, and develops 61a horse
power at 2,400 rpm's. This genera
tor is larger and more powerful
than most generators in use for
electric seines or shockers through
out the United States at the present
time.
The seine works very well in
relatively clear water less than
four feet deep. The seine shocks
all species of fish equally well, but
the large fish seem to be shocked
more successfully than the finger
ings and fry. If the seine is moved
slowly, little danger of killing fish
IS apparent. All species of fish re-
cover rapidly and sustain no
damage.

workers of the Kentucky division
