Wages to Workers?Con ference Is On. i I Pittsburgh, April 1.?It has be-1 come impossible to operate the Pennsylvania raliroad successfully and continue to pay the "abnormal-J ly high wages fixed by the railroad tebor board," C. S. Krick, general' manager of the eastern region, de clared today in opening a series of conferences between officials of the company and representatives of its employees to discuss proposed re ductions in salaries and wages. Mr. Krick maintained that the en-j tire world is rapidly getting back to nonnal and since the middle of last year the cost of living has been steadily going down. "At present," he declared "nearly 70 cents out of every dollar the Pennsylvania railroad receives from operation is paid out in wages. The remaining 30 cents is not sufficient to buy fuel and other materials and pay our taxes and other obligations Operating expenses in February ex ceeded operating revenue by more than $2,300,000. It cost the Pennsyl vania railroad $1.05 to take in $1.00 without considering taxes, fixed charges and other obligations. "Without taking dividends into consideration, the Pennsylvania sys tem was operated in February at a loss of more than $8,500,000. March results will show no improvement, although the number of employees is less now than it has been since 1915. Such a precipitate falling off in business, as has occurred in the last few months cannot be recalled by railroad men today and the only remedy for this situation is to re duce salaries and wages."

THE KICKER One day there came to Mother Earth e A child peculiar from its birth; e Its health was good, 'twas never sick, - And yet somehow 'twould always kick ; It kicked because it could net talk, . It kicked because it could not walk, - Awake?asleep?by day?by night, t It kicked away with all its might. The kicking child was sent to school, It kicked at every teacher's rule, It kicked at study, it kicked at play, And through childhood kicked its way -The "kicker" grew to manhood; then In business went like many men: But every time he closed a trade, 1 His everlasting kick he made. He kicked at those with debts unpaid 2 He kicked if others money made"; 2 He kicked whene'er he found men 5 sad. 1 He kicked if other men were glad. He kicked if business poorly came, r Or if it boomed he kicked again. In sunshine bright, when clouds were thick, m He registered his daily kick. " >* ?; :) i And so he kicked till life was o'er, ^ And, kicking passed to the other ? shore; No bells were tolled, none sighed or cried, % e The earth was glad the day he died. His form was laid beneath the sod, I, His soul was called to meet his God, s He looked and kicked at the "Man_ U sion Fair," He stopped and kicked on the "Gold ? en Stair." His final kick at the "Pearly Gate" .1 In judgment swift revealed his fate: - A thousand stripes, ten thousand o kicks; y A million years in the "River Styx!" o No marble shaft will be reared high, To mark the spot where kickers lie, . But cover o'er with stones and sticks The bones of the man who kicks and [ kicks. ?Exchange. NEW FASHIONS FOR MEN i London, March 31.?A marked drop -in some cases of amounting to 50 per cent, in the cost of men's clothing is indicated at the second annual exhibition by clothing out fitters and the woolen trade. Among the interesting features is what is obviously a determination of the manufacturers to break away from somber coloring in raincoats and two-color waterproofs will soon be worn here, the collor and cuffs being of a-color different from that of the coat itself. The death knell of the shirt with silk front is sounded in the exhibi tion. Such shirts always have caus r\A AAnni/lAita.lvIa 4-a lonil/lrioc cu uuuuic i/vy iounuiiv^ because of the amounts of washing necessary, for the non-silk ^ portion of them destroyed the silk. Men's outfitters find a large de mand for silk pajamas, the price of them having dropped 50 per cent re cently. A pajama coat without a col lar is the latest thing. I READ THE .ADVERTISEMENTS WHERE OUR WEATHER COMES FROM "Though the United States has re versed its trade balance in material products since the beginning o:f the world war, and now sends out more articles and products than other countries send in," says a bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geo graphic Society, "there is one com raodity for the main supply of which we look beyond our borders ^and probably always will. It is our wea ther?a necessity in our daily life bat one that perhaps we do not al ways appreciate. "A certain part of our weather, to be sure, might bear the b:rand, 'made in the U. S. A.' but it is only a minor portion. For the most pairt, our supply of rains, snows, blizzards cold waves and hot waves, tornadoes and tempests come tumbling in frcm the northwest and the westr. A smaller percentage come from the north and the southwest, and a f<w storms from the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic. But it is worth noting that none of our Weather en ters the country through tie stretch of the Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatteras, the section into1 which pours the vast bulk of our ma terial imports. "Though the United States proper does not brew its own weather, there is *ome consolation to enthuuiauts for the made in America movement! in the fact that the great majority ol! the disturbances that enter the States originate in Alaska or in the great warm caulron of the North Pacific between the Aleutian Islands and Hawaii, which is almost a Uni ted States sea. "Weather dsturbances which ?n ,ler the United States accompany 'lows' and 'highs'?separated areas o:i low and high atmospheric pros ?which drift in general from west to east. Atmospheric pressure is the result of the weight of the great sea of air compressing the lower por tion. Naturally, in regions where the air is rarified and is rising, the weight, and therefore the pressure is relatively low; where the air is contracted and is sinking the weight is greater and the pressure is rela tively high. Heat is the chief factor in starting air to rise over a tlo\ir*; and once the start is made the move ment is contributed to by various caus^, notably condensation into cloud and rain that gives out to the air the original heat of evaporation. I Thus a sort of "chimney' for rising ! air is established, and at its bottom the pressure is reduced. "The areas of disturbance?'lows' and 'highs'?made familiar to large numbers of people by the rough cir cles and ellipses that indicate them on the daily weather maps of the United States Weather Bureau, cross the continent normally in three or four days. Usually rain or snow fall3 in the 'low' areas or slightly in advance of them. The rains that occur in the arid parts of the west, however, usually follow the passage of 'lows.' "In winter the great factory for 'lows' is the extensive body of warm water south of the Aleutian Islands and in the Gulf of Alaska. This re gion is kept warm by the Japan cur rent. The air over the water is warmed and tends to rise. This re duces air pressure and maintains a permanent area of low pressure practically throughout the winter. I From time to time such a large area of low pressure is developed that 'fragments' of the area, so to speak 'break off' and drift with the pre vailing: winds to the east. It is some what like a bubble of air under thin ice breaking off from a larger bub ble and finding its way with the flow of the water to another loca tion. Normally a new 'low' is thrown off every few days. "The most common course of ! these 'lows' is across the southern panhandle of Alaska and over Bri tish Colombia, to cross the Canadian border into the United States in Al berta. For convenience they are called 'Alberta Storms.' A some what fewer number of disturbances called 'North Pacific Storms,' origi nating in the same general region, enter between Puget Sound and nor thern California. South Pacific storms, entering south of the nor | thern boundary of California, are I still less permanent 'high', the effect j of which is to keep the drifting 'lows 1 farther north. Now and then a 'low' | is formed in some section of the broad curving band of country ILLITERACY SHOWN TO BE DECREASING Washington, March 31.?Illiter acy is decreasing in the nation, ac cording to census bureau returns to day from the first three states in which 1920 enumeration has been worked out in the subject. In Alabama, where the percent age illiteracy was found to be 22.9 of the tol-al population over 10 years of age in 1910, the 1920 percentage was 16.1. . - Jn Arkansas the percentage drop ped from 12.5 in 1910 to 9.4 in 1920 and in Delaware from 8.1 in 1910 to 5.9 in 1920. Illiterate persons under the cen sus bureau tabulation include all those unable to write. In all three states the percentage of illiteracy in the rural districts was somewhat greater than in the cities. stretching from Alberta through Texas, including the Rocky Moun tains or even in the central or Gulf states; but these occur much less consequently than the 'lows' which drift in from the Aelutians.
