IIHE shades are drawn down and the room is kept cool. All’s quiet;
- mere whispers are said. A wee little youngster is missing from
school, for illness has sent It io bed.
The household is ready to wait on the tot who is propped on a pillow
or two. No matter what sicknes sthe youngster has got, little favors
we’re anxious to do.
• Ere dad goes to work, he will stop for a while; maybe put a cold
cloth on the head of the child, who gives thanks with a sweet smile.
And then, there comes breakfast in bed.
Mom rushes around, as the day rolls along and she answers each
little request. Perhaps there’s some rocking, mid lullaby song, that will
help the wee tick one to rest.
All mothers and dads are created alike, in the service an ailing child
brings. For where, tell me where, has there e’er been the tike who can’t
play on our sympathy strings?

WRITING on the subject of wages, Secretary of Labor Davis
gets rather badly mixed in his reasoning from statistics,
although his general proposition is sound. He seeks to establish
the principle that a raise in wages should go hand-in-hand with
an increase of production, so that the workers may share propor-
tionately in the profits of industry. Whether one is disposed to
. accept the secretary’s principle-or not, it cannot be questioned
; that the principle is operative. There seems to be no room for
argument about the self-evident fact that wages in this country
have risen with the expansion of production. But Secretary Davis
insists upon an argument, taking a highly controversial tone in
presenting his figures.
"Do you realize,” he asks in his article in the New York Times,
“that in the field of manufacturing alone we produce more than
$60,000,000,000 worth of manufactured goods per year? In 1923
the value of manufactured products was precisely $60,481,135,000
which represents an increase of 38% per cent over the production
of 1921. While the money value shows some falling off as
against 1919, yet in actual quantities produced there was an in-
crease of 19 per cent in 1923 over the quantities produced in 1919.
The number of persons engaged in manufacturing in 1923 was
. 10,176,750, and of these 8,763,233 were actual wage-earners, an
increase in wage-earners of more than 26.2 per cent over 1921.
The wage payments in 1923 were $10,985,895,000,' an increase of
1 34 per cent over 1921,”
To an unprejudiced person, these figures must indicate that
| our workers are doing quite well. Measured in value, production
I; ' increased 38% per cent, and wages 34 per cent. Production’s
margin .of two and a half per cent appears no greater than it
needs to maintain its expansion. But Secretary Davis is not
1 ‘ pleased with this showing. He feels that something is wrong
I with it. The workers, in his opinion, are not getting justice. But
they must get justice. So the secretary introduces a novel
I • method of calculation. He argues as follows':
“Now the manufacturing establishment, of course, takes in
raw material and further, fabricates, changes or -develops this
raw material into finished output. Much of that raw material is,
in fact, the finished product of our manufacturing establish-
ments, so that perhaps the best measure of what our manufactur-
ing industries are really doing is the .value added by manufacture;
in other words, the difference between raw material as it goes
into a given factory and the value of the finished product as it
emerges from that factory. Apply this test we find that the value
created over and above raw material cost in the manufacturing
plants of the United States in 1923 was $25,853,151,000, an in-
crease of 41 per cent as compared with 1921; whereas the number
of wages workers increased but 26.2 per cent and the amount of
F wages paid increased 34 per cent.”
Obviously, Secretary Davis' enthusiasm for original research
has led him too far. He takes no account of fluctuating raw
material prices, which would explain the difference between the
increase.in value added by manufacture, estimated at 41 per cent,
and the increase in value of finished products, estimated at
I 88%2 per cent. Nor is this his only inconsistency. After imply-
ing, in the language quoted above, that the value added to goods
by manufacture should determine wage advances, he criticises
textile manufacturers for wanting to reduce wages in order to
balance increased raw material costs, which, of course, cut down
I the value added by manufacture.

THE dispute over the Shipping Board’s sale, to the Dollar
. Steamship interests, of five vessels in the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship company's California-Orient service, has gotten into court.
Art injunction has bene issued by the District, of Colombia
supreme court, restraining the shipping board from consummat-
. ing the sale, and extended litigation fs forecast. The question to
| be settled is whether the board violated the merchant marine act
of 1920 in selling the ships to the Dollar interests. Making a
' sale disadvantageous to the government and hurtful to compe-
tition will be one of the charges preferred. But, from the public's
viewpoint, the principal issue raised is moral rather than legal.
There can be little doubt on the part of the public that the
government suffers a loss in the sale for $5,625,000 of five ves-
_ sels which are said to have cost $25,000,000 and which could not
be replaced at present for less than $15,000,000. Nor can there
I be doubt as to the injury done the Pacific Mail Steamship com-
I pany which has operated these vessels and therefore may be
supposed to have certain rights'in connection with their dis-
posal. The sale to the Dollar interests means that the Pacific
Mail must retire from the Orient service, in which it has en-
gaged since 1867. But the fact of greatest interest to the public
is that the sale will enable the Dollar interests’ to completely
dominate the Pacific carrier service. These interests already have
two lines to the Orient, one out of the Pugent Sound area and
the other paralleling the route now followed by the Pacific Mail.
With the five ships sold by the shipping board the Dollar in-
terests will have seventeen large vessels carrying passengers and
I. freight between the United States and the Orient, and will be
left without an American rival,
| Such a situation is certainly not one to please the American
people. A shipping monopoly will be generally recognized as
j a threat to the growth of our merchant marine. It is possible
that the shipping board was technically right in making the
' 84 e which will create such a monopoly for the Dollar interests
g offered the best bid and were manifestly able to maintain the
I ships in ocean-carrier service. But greater considerations should
I not have been ignored,

and I dittoed in English—winning
fair honors. For once I felt
rather iron willed.
We waited in the foggy damp-
nes on the tender while the usual
custom haggling was taking place.
Ancient Cherbourg was etched in
the falling dusk. It reeks of antiq-
uity. The people seem listless and
even the dogs were baying their
woe.
And speaking of the dogs, there
la a gentle-eyed pointer with a
collection box strapped to his back
that meets all steamers. The ani-
mal collects—or is supposed to—
for the unfortunate animals of
Cherbourg. I suspect it is another
gesture in French petty graft.
Every hotel servant in Paris
comes to you with a subscription
blank for some charity which I am
told goes mostly in their own pock-
ets. France has a blind spot, for
this petty graft. It would not be
interested in a law to stop goug-
ing tourists. That is the national
sport. - .
Royalty is represented by Prince
Antoine Bibesco. And Count Ver-
chere Uchida. Zoology is represent-
ed by a Mr. Wolff. Miss Badr, Mr.
Fox, Mr. Lyon and Mr. Lepperd.
A gaudy printed card was slipped
under my door in the midst of my
home-going happiness reading:
“Apply at once to Mr. M. Fother-
gill on Deck C. for your return
voyage." I wrote on the reverse
side: "Don’t be silly. Am hot re-
turning.” And sent it back.
I have lost so many hats and
caps from promenade decks that I
took the precaution to Journey to
the Latta Quarter before leaving
Paris to purchase a black tam worn
by the Basque students. It would
require a typhoon to lift it off. I
suppose I will be mistaken for a
poet or painter and already I find
myself growing* .a little sad-eyed
and temperamental. •
I have found quite a philosopher
in a a quaint and venerable night
stewart. He ta broken and bent.
"In drinking to the health of
others," he said, "I lost my own.”
