It would seem that legislatures could well direct attention to repealing some of the dead timber on our statute books.

President Coolidge’s come to their ass the retirement law. Inasmuch as.the retirement fund is created by deduc- tions from the salaries of the employes themselv: to see how even the most frugally minded legislators can object. Secretary Work points out that the balance in the retire- ment fund has increased beyond original estimates. lieves more liberal payments—the average yearly pension i now $546.30—would relieve actual distress. . The rank and file of government employes are notori- ously underpaid. They Should be permitted to draw a little more heavily from their own bank account. VALUE A large American industrial company, maintaining fac- taries abroad, issues figures showing the average daily wage it paid American employes during November was $5.60. -.« In England it was $2.28 a day; in Germany, $1.55; France, $1.35; Belgium, $1.14; Italy, 96 cents. ‘ First impression is that these wage rates are indicative of similar differences in production costs. taking, however, the wage scale must be considered in con- junction with service rendered and individual output. “i The laborer in the Texas and Louisiana rice fields is paid 10 times as highly as his competitor in Japan and C . the land under his care produces 15 times as much, so it act- ually costs less to grow rice the Orient.

There is swimming and bathing and long rides and dancing every night until almost morni The woman has her ulways doing something and she throws the girl at her husband’s head until she finds that he is in- expressibly weary of her youthful energy.
