This is 700 to 1,000 per cent higher than the wages in Germany. In order then to overcome the difference in wages between this country and Germany, tariff rates would have to be 700 to 1,000 per cent. In 1921 they received $2.30. According goods are cited in nearly all tar- iff debates not because there is any desire upon the part of this country to discriminate against yermany, but because owing to the efficiency of the German industrial world and the distributive and sales agencies of German industries, the com petition which Germany offers is very keen. A protective tariff, however, would operate quite as effectvely as against other nations whose wage is far below that of the United States. That Germany is not the only country-which has a tremendous handicap over the United States in wage costs is demonstrated by the following com- parison of daily wages paid in the United States with the average daily wage paid in nations com- peting industrially with the United States. are obtained by striking an aver- age for the daily wage paid in six leading typical The results show the average daily wage paid in these six industries to be as follows in the respectve countries: Italy 79 cents, Japan $1.43, France $1.46, England $3.08 and the United $7.17.

It is a clean, moral show throughout and really worth while. After Fifty Years William Francis Hooker, of New York, who pioneered in Wyoming in the seventies and recently visited the state after a lapse of 50 years, has written the New York Herald about his visit as follows: “It may be interesting to your read ers who hive ‘been seading about some of the pioneer plainsmen and mountaineers, including George W. Stokes, A. B. Ostrander, Ellis Taylor Peirce (“Bear Tracks”), Clark B. Stocking and others, to know that John Hnnton, who in the days of transportation by ox power was very — prominent in the then wild west as a bull train magnate, is living today on the site of famous old Fort Laramie at the conduence of the North Platte and Laramie rivers, in Wyoming. TI worked for him as a bullwhacker for two seasons on government contracts | 1874-75-, driving a unit of seven yoke of oxen and two wagons, lead and trail, hauling bacon, shelled corn, ete., to the quartermasters at Forts Lara- mie and Fetterman; also food for the Indians at Red Cloud agency on White Clay River, this latter contract, how- ever, being filled by Charles Clay, for whom I also worked a part of the season of 1875; also for Pratt and Farris on the Sidney trail into the Indian country. Last fall, after an absence of nearly 50 years, I visited Mr. Hunton, and together we went in an automobile to the site of a log house he built on La Pariel Creek, near Fort I'ets rman, as winter quarters; also the site of a @ugout I built in company with Nicholas Huber on La Bonte Creek, and in which we lived the winter of 1874-75. That country, now well set- tled, was at the time mentioned a wilderness of wild animals, including bear, bobcats, beaver, deer, antelope, wolves, gray or timber, etc., which we hunted. x ‘Mr. Diltz, who owns the ranch where my cabin stood, gave me the rusted lock of a rifle I left there in the spring of 1875. When Mr. Hunton and I visited La Bonte Creek we found the two door posts—forked small logs—that I ent! in the creek bottom in the fall of! 1874; also many of the cobblestones used in the chimney were still scat- tered abont. -| Smaller papers las, is located only 12 miles from this spot which was in my time a vast wilderness. “It may be interesting to note that within five or six rods of my cabin site a couple of old beaver—a “ma” and a “pa"—ilast year taught their xoung how to build a dam of small sticks. Beaver are well protected by Taw in Wyoming, I discovered, and some of the creeks are alive with them. “About all that is left of Fort Lar- amie that was important inthe ‘70s is the officers’ quarters, made famous by Gen. Charles King as “Bedlam” in one of his novels, and the old powder magazine of stone. The former is a cow stable and the Jast named a chicken coop! “Little is left at Fort Fetterman, where in the early "70s I used to pay $1 for a drink of whisky, $9 for a patr of buckskin trousers and $20 for @ sombrero at the sutler store, The the great newspaper fraternity of the United States should unite in urging upon congress tho imposition of an adequate protective tariff for the pres- vation of this important war indus. try.” ELS ee ee eS The Child Morning and sunset skies, Glamour of seas, Peaks that empurpled rise— I have loved these.

Drinking Sutler TI- lotson’s whisky was lke having a torchlight procession going down my throat.” Shre a War Industry “The businéss of making ‘dry ‘mats’ is one which was developed during the war,” states the American Econ- omist. “Prior to that time all the dry mats were imported from Ger- many. ‘Mats’ are matrixes, the molds into which molten typemetal ts poured in order to form the stereotype forms from which many newspapers. are printed. Prior to the invention of dry mats wet mats were used, but their manufacture involved a complicated and expensive process and the inven- tion of dry mats was a boon to the newspapers. The Germans invented ary mats and they were imported into this’country by the Wood Flong cor- poration. When the war broke out the German supply was cut off, but just at this time Benjamin Woe. president and treasurer of the said corporation, discovered a new method of making dry mats and so was able to supply his formef customers. Dur- ing and since the war the use of dry mats has greatly increased, until now about 350 papers use such mats. “Now the Germans are trying to recover their lost trade in mats in this country and are “dumping” their goods on the market. That is, they are selling them at unreasonably low prices with the purpose in view of @riving the Wood Flong corporation out of business. It must be explained that that corporation is the only one now making dry mats in this country. “The pending tariff bill imposes the same rate of duty on dry mats that it does on cardboard, a very curious state of affairs, for it will be instant- ly recognized that the muking of dry mats is a much more complicated and expensive process than the making of plain carboard. The bill as originally drafted in the senate provided a higher rate of duty, but the American Newspaper Publishers association ob- jected and the rate was lowered in the bill as reported to the senate, This, we believe, was a mistake. “The workmen in the German raills making dry mats are paid the equiva- lent in our money of two cents per hour, while the workmen in this coun- try are paid from 65 to 70 cents per hour. In time, the difference in wages will be less, but, in the mean- time, we will have lost a new and important American industry if it shall rot be afforded adequate protec- tion. “Not all classes of newspapers can make use of dry mats. They, cannot be utilized by the great metropolitan dailies and they are not used by the which do not use cylinder presses. But to such papers as do use cylinder presses the dry mat is a boon. It is highly important that the domestic industry be preserved, not only in the interest of nrompt and! satisfactory service to the press of| the country, but also in the interests! of home production as against for- eign competitive production. In fair- The Belles of Burma Perhaps no women of the East have been given more “publicity” than rthose of Burma. In his “Road to Mandalay,” Kipling really made them famous. ‘ Here dwell the tribes who have re- mained as they were long, long before the British took possession. They speak the same language, eat the same food and wear the same kind of clothes they have for centuries. ‘When a man marries, he hands over all his jewelery and ornaments to his wife. Indeed, the man’s wealth may be reckoned by the amount of decora- tions his wife wears. Brass is the metal which is partic- ularly expensive and rare in Burma, and as a result, brass ij ‘quite the thing” in the line of Jewelry there. The women wear a kind of kimono reaching just below the waiter, and a short skirt about the longth of a bath- ing suit skirt, but very tight. This, however, is not important in Burmese fashion. The important point to the ‘Burma woman is how much brass she can carry, for the Burmese women lit- erally weigh themselves down with brass rings. Sometimes the burden of the jewelry is so great that a woman needs a cane ‘om which to lean, as she walks around proudly displaying her wealth. It is a real burden, because the average wom- an of means in Burma wears at least fifty pounds of brass, and many are envied because they can boast of seventy or eighty pounds under which they totter as they walk.—Temple Manning.
