Since his earliest thou hts of col- lege, Wilbur has had a desire to at- tend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was in his first years of high school work that he upset his predestinators, who had outlined for him a classical career, that he might follow in his father’s footsteps. His father is Rt. Rev. Arthur Huston, bishop of the diocese of Olympia. Although the young man’s education will be principally scientific, he has ngt definitely decided upon the exact phase.

SEES WAGES OFFSET BY UNEMPLOYMENT -tmm of Pohtlc: Regarding Ad- vance in Workers' Compenntwn Z2 | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 14—Dr. | William T. Foster, director of the Pollak ‘Foundntlon for Economic Research, today amplified a statement to the | effect that gains in real wages duri | the past 10 years of those who have ha jobs may have been wholly offset by the losses of those who have not had jobs, which he was credited with making | before the Institute of Politics at Wil- lll:mwun August 29. “To determine the share of wage earnings as a whole in our recent pros- | perity. it is necessary to take account | of changes in the numbers who are un- " said Dr. Foster. 2 “The man who has no jobs gains little comfort from reading about the gains | made by the man who has a job. In view of what we actually do know about the decreases in the numbers employed | in manufacturing industries, it is en- | tirely possible that the gains in real | wages during ,the past few years of | those who have had jobs have been | wholly offset by the losses of those who ve not had jobs. “We shall not know whether wage earners as a whole have had any share | whatever in the prosperity which seems 0 be revealed from day to day in stock | market reports, untii our present frag- | mentary and misleading statistics of the unemployed are replaced with com- } prehensive and reliable data. For- | tunately such data can readily be ob- | tained and fortunately one importent step toward obtaining the needed data wl." be taken in the next census of popullnon | COIN-TOSSING CUSTOM SUPPORTS ROME’S POOR | Gamins Recovgr Money Thrown in Water to Assure Return to Ancient City. Of all the tourist “rackets” engaged in by Italians none is more interesting ,thnn that which furnishes small boys in the neighborhood of the Fountain of the Trevi, Rome’s famous wishing | fountain, with pocket money. Ap- parently the superstition, or what- ever it is, that makes foreigners toss coins into the waters of the pool in the hope_ of returning to Rome is actually supporting @ number of the poorer families who dwellgin the unattractive cubbyholes in the neighborhood. One small boy, who nightly stands at the edge- waiting for Americans, Ger- mans, Frenchmen and other bra of visitors to flip lire into the ter, declared that he generally managed to fish out 10 lire a day when the gen- darmes did not prevent him from en- tering the water. Another placed his earnings at 75 lire a week. |, Lady visitors are favorities, accord- ing to the gamins, not because they d | are admirers of female pulchrltudc bu¢ " | because they are such poor “shots” when comss to hitting the big target fur- | nished by the pool with their coins: Germans, who still comprise a good per- centage of visitors to Italy, are on the blacklist because they ‘are sensible enough to compromise between tradition and s natural inclination to be eco- nomical.
