What Fixes Wages.
We are constantly being told
that the “tyranny of labor”—
meaning labor unions— is re
UaLEIU3U£ fuea/auauau^
J sponsible for the high cost of
j living.
But the price of some unorgan
; ized labor has risen fully as
I fast as the price of organized la
j bor.
! Behold your servant girl Her
I wages have nearly doubled , in
fifteen years.
Wages of carpenters, bricklay
ers', railroad engineers or any
other highly unionized trades
j have not advanced any more, if
measured by work accomplished
:than the pay of a servant girl,
where unionism is no factor
whatsoever.
, Farm hands are another ex
ample of non-unionized labor
who are getting today, compar
ed with two decades ago, as big
I an advance as the stone mason.
Conditions have made a scarcity
in the supply of servant girls
and farm hands that has result
ed in their greatly increased
pay.
There is no dearth of store
clerk material in the c-ities, and
that is why their income has
not gone up with that of the
housemaid and cook. A similar
thing is true of nearly all other
clerical forces—a big supply of
material—and that keeps down
i. 1___

Scarcity of farm hands and
cooks puts up the quotations for
them, while the big army of ap
plicants for clerical places re
duces the quotations for that
sort of labor. —Memphis News

Better Babies.
Since July 1, 1912, some twelve
babies’ contests have been held
in Greater New York by various
social service organizations,
most of which are connected
with the Babies’ Welfare Asso
ciation. That association is
composed of some eighty separ
ate organizations, and works in
close co-operation with the de
partment of health through the
latter's division of child hygiene.
In every case physicians and
nurses of the child hygiene di
vision, and those connected with
the infants’ milk stations, have
co-operated fully by canvassing
jthe immediate neighborhoods,
me ruai iauauau2 luauauauauaLEiu?
and by informing mothers as to
the nature of these contests and
their locations. They also assist
in the registration of the babies
at various milk stations, public
schools and other social cen- j
ters where the contests are j
held. Physicians have conduct- i
ed mental and physical examina-j
tions and measurements, and;
have recorded on standardj
score cards the various points
to which each child is entitled.
Nurses have been of special
service in registering the babies,
in assisting at the recording of
results of the preliminary exam
inations, and in dim mating cas
es in which contagious disease
are suspected.
These better babies’ contests
are proving an important addi
tion to methods already em
ployed in the reduction of in
j t'ant mortality, and by which
j the infant death rate in New
lYqrk city has been reduced j
from 181 in 1902 too 105 in 1912 j
a thousand. —Memphis News-!

High Schools Contesting On

Little Rock, Nov. 22.— The ,
Little Rock and Hot Springs j
high school football teams are
playing this afternoon the last
game of the season before the
Thanksgiving game between
Fort Smith and Little Rock,
which will decide the state
championship. Should Hot
Springs defeat Little Rock, it
will put the claim of champion
ship in a muddle that will be
hard to unravel. Pine Bluff has
defeated Hot Springs, and Lit
tle Rock has defeated Pine
Bluff, so if Hot Springs de
feats Little Rock, which the
team has an excellent chance
to do, then Pine Bluff can claim
a look in on the championship,
and the right to play off with
Fort Smith for the honor. Hot
Springs can also set up the
claim, even though it was de
feated by Pine Bluff, which
team was defeated by Little
Rock. It is truly a How Old Is
Ann case, and can only be sim
plified by Little Rock being the
_ • _ i j-1 • _ m
LUXQ aucuiuuu.
The Thanksgiving game prom
ises to be the best of the year,
as the teams are so evenly
matched, and there is so much
at stake. The Border City team
is reported to be a wonder for
speed. Little Rock is a rather
light team and depends upon
the speed of its backs. Fort
Smith will send a large delega
tion to Little Rock to witness
the game, and as the high
schools have a clear field, with
out colleges to interfere, it be
ing the only game in Little
Rock on that day, the attend
ance will be very large.
