CERTAIN LABOR MAY BE SCARCE, STATES BABSON {Continued From Page 1) who have not been able to sccure positions in trades. Under present business conditions the wage cut is justified, as these men could not se- cure elsewhere a wage equivalent to what the railroads are now paying them. If, however, business begins to improve, and the demand for la- bor increases, it is very probable that the best of these maintenance of- viay men will get postions in the building and other trades while the railroads will import a lot of new men from the country. “For ithe past year or two we have seen in the paper accounts mere- ly of wage cuts. Reductions have run all the way from 10 per cent to 50 per cent, with an average of about 25 per cent. I should not be sur- prised to sece some advances from this time on. The Firestone Tire and Rubber company of -Akron, Ohio, has already advanced wages 10 per cent. Other concerns which are tem- porarily short of labor%are offcring more money. It is, however, inter- esting to note that the labor unions were not successful in holding up wages at the time of the decline and are not forcing increase at this time. History is simply repeating - itself.

If business begins to pick up this summer, as I anticipate it will, the demand for labor will increase. Owing to the fact that immigration | has béen cut off, this will necessar- |ily cause employers to bid against | one another and wages will again go up, for a time at least. Considering gtlong period of years into the fut- | ure, the trend of wages may contin- ue downward, but a temporary up- |turn would not be surprising. “The Babsochart on business con- ditions is acting in a very peculiar way and is suggestive of a turn for the better within the next few weeks. The time is fast approacning when one half of the preceeding area of expansion will be off set. ~When this time comes, it can be truly said the corner. This does not mean that we are about to enter a period of prosperity, but it does mean that we are on the home stretch and have scen the worst. The Babsonchart index today stands at 17 per cent below normal. This is due to the increased building which is evident throughout the country. Moreover, this building boom is oniy beginning. “We may cxpect,” concluded Mr. Baoson, “a scarcity in certain classes of labor during the balance of the year.” FALL ELECTION BALLOTS WILY.

Here is a cross section of the stem of a scouring rush. This plant raises a narrow stem to a height of a hun- dred times its, own diameter. It can withstand the weight of the heaviest snows without injury, As you notice, the stem is made of a succession of arches. Externally hanging arches span between piers of silica, The plers themselves rest on ‘barrel vaults, the green cells between are arched together on the pointed vault principle, and the vascular cor- ridors below are connected by a series of internal hanging arches. In an adult equisetum there may be moreé than twenty such arch systems within the circumference of the stem. The vaults do their work well. This is abundantly testified by the plant’s ability to live In places where other vegztables can gain no foothold. STRAPS AND HOOKS MISSING Reduction in the “Overhead” Practiced by the Shoemaker Is Condemned. * Climbing into one’s boots Is not as eusy a matter today as it was when we were all a few years younger. The manufacturers have cut out the loop of some stout fabric that used to go at the back of the top of the shoe and that always used to “bust”—remem- Jber?—when you were trying td jam a damp foot in a wet sock into a mud- dy loot after you had been swim- min’. As to Ite loss, opinlon seems to be evenly divided. Some men say they never used the darned’ things and al- ways cut them off. Others complain that the effort to get shod without the straps gives them symptoms of apoplexy. Anyhow, it’s another little reduction In the overhead, and the wishes of customers were not consulted, the New York Sun Insists. Another insidious boot change that has happened within the last few years Is the disappearance of, the little catches for crossing the upper half of the lacing. We have holes now all the way up, and the consequence is that a fellow has to pull the string out of threa or four or five of the top holes and to weave it through again after he has-put on his shoes in the morn- Ing when he Is In a hurry. Why, it's almost as bad as being a woman! Now CHURCH NOW 225 YEARS OLD Trinity, New York's Most Venerablo Religious Institution, Received Charter From Willlam 11l The 225th anniversary of the grant- ing by King Willlam III of a char- ter to Trinity was celebrated the other day in the old church at Wall street and Broadway by services in the yworn- Ing and afternoon, says the New Yorg Herald. More than four thousand per- sons attended. The Right Rev. Wil- liam T. Manning, bishop of New York; returned to the pulpit from which he had-preached for one-third of his min- isterial career and delivered an ad- dress In which he outlined Trinity's history and painted a glowing future of patriotic, religious and benevolent services for the church. The sermon was dellvered by the Most Rev. Daniél Sylvester 'Tuttle, bishop of Missouri. The present church edifice dates from 1880, the one built after the Revolution on the site of the original Colonial structure being torn down be- cause it had been found unsafe. Bishop Tuttle, eighty-five years old, who worshiped in Trinity as a young man, recollected that he sat in a vear pew while down front knelt the prince of Wales, later King Edward VIL The original charter of the church and relics of the first communion serv- in a WILL BOX AT LEGION MEET Two Ministers Are to Step Into Squared Arena at Washington State Convention. For perhaps the first time in his- tory two ministers of the gospel are going to box in the squared arena for the benert ‘of the audience. Rev. John Beard, pastor of the First Presby- terian church at Hoquiam, Wash., and Rev. Earl A. Blackman, na- tional chaplain of the American Le- gion, will “mix it up” at the Le- glon state convention in Wenatchee, Wash., this fall - Reverend Beard, who served as “sky pilot” with the old Ninety-first division in France, boxed John Dick- inson, veteran of the British forces, st a recent meeting of his own Legion post. The Legion’s national chaplain is an ardent boxing adherent himself. Though a pastor of a Kansas church, he finds time to act as boxing referee occasionally and dons the gloves him- self just to keep in trim. Prior to his entering the ministry he was known 'fis"a ‘track and football star. That his title of “fighting chaplain” isn’t at all amiss is shown by a glance at Reverend Beard’s. war record. One doesn’t think of a chaplain as having a war record, but Reverend Black- man’s future opponent served with the Three Hundred and Sixty-first in- fantry, “Wildeat” , division with the rank of captain. He was awarded the French Croix, de Guerre and re- || velved a citation from the American sovernment. The war over, he jumped into the Legion and was elected state chaplain for the department of Wash- ington. d STILL AIDS EX-SERVICE MEN Mrs. John Marshall, Kentucky, Na- tional Committeewoman, Active in After-War Work. —— Mrs. John Marshall of Anchorage, Ky., known to thousands of ex-service men who ‘were 2 stationed in the Blue Grass state ‘during the war and who visited the Red Cross canteen to be served with cof- fee and dough- nuts, is still do - ing her large “bit” for the sick and wounded ex- service men.” As natlonal execu- ¥ tive committeewoman for the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary from Kentucky, she is especially active in all the things that her organization is doing. Her latest plan results in Loulsville, Ky., having a boarding home for ex- service men who are taking vocational training there. Nominal fees, a huge living room and library and a real home atmosphere, are high points in the life of the “boys” who make their home with Mrs. Marshall. More than 300,000 service men were cared for at the canteen presided over by Mrs. Marshall during the war. Her experiences with the soldiers and safl- ors are many. Months aiter the armis- tice she received a letter from a serv- ice ‘man whose wedding supper she had prepared in 1917. It read, “Mrs. Canteen Lady, can you help me find my wife, not that she is much account, but T want to get married again and must find her first.” ) NEW “RADIO BUG” IS POPULAR American Legion Po Are Enjoying Programs; Supplicd for Hos- *pital Patierits.

Twelve motors will shortly start from Tuggurt, the terminus of ‘the Algerinn rhilway, in an attempt to cross the Sahars desert. The leader of the expedition will be Commandant Lafirgue and it will include a dozen members, representing various gov- ernment departments and other inter- ests. A motion picture operator will Join the party. The proposed route leads by Insalah, the Hogger region, and Adar of the Iforas, to Bureni on the Niger, 120 miles east of Timbuktu. Precautions have been taken to pre- vent the evaporation of the motor fuel in the torrid climate that will be en- countered, und it is believed that this difficulty hus been overcome.

Killing the Goose. There was'a new baby at our house, and while we all disliked the name Katliryn, we decided to name the child that, as we had a wealthy aunt by that name. I wrote to-dear Aunt Kathryn and asked her down to the christening dinner. I met the’ train I rushed home and into the house calling to mother, “No use naming the baby_ after Aunt Kathryn. She wouldn’t even spend money to come down lere when she knew she would get a meal.” By that time I was at mother’s room, and there sat dear Aunt Kath- ryn, She had driven over in her car.— Chicago Trihuue, Saturday night and no Aunt Kathryn. |K “DEMAND AND INSIST” on getting “REPUTATION” Service and_Quality *“Flowers, Plants and Bulbs,” also Sprays and Emblems for Funeral Dec- orations through local dealers.
