Fach year finds a flood of petitions for increases, Members of the com- mon council have reached the con- clusion that dissatisfaction, general- | ly speaking, has been one of the big elements iy producing the continual flow of petitiens, One of the ele- ments entering into this state of dis- safisfaction 1s the fact that certaln city employes are not required to petition the common councll, appear |before committees and boards and submit to the publicity that attends an increase in wages. Those who must follow this routine argue the injustice of the situation and this condition of facts has not been con- duclve of good feeling and satisfac- tion. Members of the common council feel the new order will place all eity lmmplnyel on the same basis. The |vesult will be increased efficlency through increased morale, and will |keep the salary situation under the thumbs of the city fathers since there is no possibllity of a salary growing out of proportion to the sal- aries paid other city employes doing similar work, While the new order affects sev. eral departments, the primary ob- {Ject was to obtain control of the | park commisston salary lists, This department has a big force which |Includes some of the eity's highest paid workers, but the common coun. cil has not a word to say in the reg- ulation of their salaries. Beopuse the labor market wage sehedules fluctuate rapldly, it was telt the hoards employing this type of workmen should have some elas- ticity in the rules regarding their salaries and on that account they will not be placed on the salary lists or regulated by ordinance. ... The cable from Europe brought news this week of the suicide of an inventor a few hours before a manu- facturing firm had malled an offer jof $10,000 for the product of his | brain. For months he had been trying to dispose of his invention, but without success. On New Year's | day his funds became exhausted and he and bhis family were notified to vacate their quarters because the rent was everdue, So he ended his earthly existence by drinking a draught of the’ deadly poison which he had invented. It is a familiar story. Since time began, men have abandoned hope as they were on the eve of success. With Opportunity walking up to their front door, they have despair- ed and have ended their lives. Some of the greatest men and owmen in history, by persevering, have won fame and fortune by push- ing ahead in spite .of bitter disap- pointments and circumstances which scemed to overwhelm them. Handel, composer of the lessiah,” went ragged and hungry in London when producers refused to give him a hearing. It seemed that all doors | were shut against him. But he had confidence in himself and he suc- ceeded in getting a hearing for his composition in a theater in Dublin with an audience composed of prison inmates. The beauty and all-com- pelling force of the “Messiah” were recognized. It was brought back to London and success shone on the composer. | George Washington at Valley | Forge must have had depressing | thoughts as he saw his soldiers in their threadbare garments and with |'the wolf of hunger howling through {the camp.

Several thousand fowls are reported to have been killed by it on the in- fected farms found In Connecticut. Iowls usually die within 2 to 6 days after becoming infected, says the bureau of animal industry, and in- stances are known where fowls were exposed to the disease in the morn- ing and were dead by afternoon. The exact nature of the pestewhich causes the disease has not yet been determined by government scientists, It s caused by what is known t0 sci- entists as a “filterable virus,” an or- ganism so minute that it will pass through the finest filter used in sci- entific work. No microscope is pow- erful enough to reveal it. The dis- case was discovered in Italy in 1878, and since that time it has spread over most of Europe. How or when it first came to this country is not known. “An elevator man is a fickle sort of chap, One minute he is boosting his place of business up to the skies and the next he is running it down, Today must have seemed a dull day to,Senator Bingham without any oath to take. It seems that the burning question of the day is flaming youth. Paavo Nurmi, the Invading track star, seems to have great staying power. At least, he's always in on the Finnish.

Just at present, the ship of state appears to be stuck on Muscle Shoals, And we understand the agricultural commission is ralsing a sinking fund. After witnessing a factory league game, our impression was that foot- ball and basketball differed in that football players wore pads. If this campaign goes through and billboards are eliminated, what is young America going to use for baseball backstops? And what will motorists use for landmarks? And, anyway, /what will they do with all the scenery? Coolidge's reason for opposing the elevation of guns on our battleships scems to be that their cost, at least is high enough already. Now that the golice have ordered all mint vending machines out of the city, it only remains for them to eliminate gambling by forbldding pedestrians to cross the street. ‘e s . Collecting is a world-wide habit, spanning the gaps of race, creed, and species. Squirrels collect nuts. Beavers collect twigs. Apes collect stones. Some men collect stamps; others colns; others, pictures, rare vases, bugs, radio stations, first editlons, butterflies, cross-word puzzle books, autographs, statuary, or family trees. Some day we in- tend to start a mew kind of collec- tion. We shall collect collectors, and we bet we get plenty of | varieties. i . !

America’s standard annual is now in its fortieth year, the World Al- manac and Book of Facts for 1925, just published, has promptly fallen into its accustomed place as the one Indispcneable book of reference ready at your hand. Ask the ques- tion, here's the answer. Compressed into its 900 pages is the history of the United States and of the whole world, in fact, for 1924. The index points the way to a mil- lion facts. The multitude of carefully revised tabulated statistics are up to date, as are all its its well-tested familiar features. Essential facts that every one must have before him whereby he may form his judgment on the big prob- lems of 1924-1925, are here—from reparations and the Dawes plan to the balance-sheet of the American farmer; from the air fleets of the great powers to the enforcement of | the Prohibition law, from the Immi~ gration law to the income tax. The aim of the editor is accuracy in co!- lection of these facts; terseness in handling them, and acqessibility in presenting them. As a hand-book of politics and public affairs it is unequaled. The vecord of the presidential year is givén for all time in the forty-eigii pages of election returns by states, the popular and the electoral votes in the last nine campalgns, and, fur. ther, in the reports of the national conventions, with the three party platforms in full. As many pages are | needed also for the records of the great sporting events of the year. It is a mine of information for the busy man. The World Almanac is published by the New York World. Price, 50 cents postpaid. Readers who appre- clate the advantage of keeping the series on their book shelves will wel- come the cloth-bound copies pub- lished at 90 cents. 62 ON PROBATION A total of 62 probations remained on the books of Probation Officer Edward C.
