, MILLIONS ARE IDLE r w IN NORTHERN STATES i Tf V* * * ? ? -"* ? ? ? f rn v r , ' ^ AUTOMOBILE AND ACCESSORY ^ INDUSTRY FURNISH LARGE F ttAJOMTT. The number of persona employed in industry in this country the first of this month numbered 3,473,406 less than the number employed a year ago, the Department of Labor employment service, Washington, D. C., announced Tuesday, on the basis of a first nation-wide survey just completed by I a special staff of investigators. L The employment service's figures represented a reduction of 36.9 per cent in the number of workers employed in industry, as compared with ?Jani&ry a year ago, and it was announced that they were based "on the consensus of figures from neutral bodies, state labor departments, state commissioners of manufacturers, state and municipal employment services, workmen's compensation Bureaus, em- m ployer's and employes' organizations ~ and all other sources competent to tc furnish authoritative information. 'Michigan led the states in proportional reduction, with 82 per cent and h Ohio a&d Indiana followed, with a * reduction in emplayment of 50 per cent each. Next came Illinois, with 44 per cent; Connecticut with 43 per rcent; Massachusetts, with 38 per cent; I Wisconsin, with 32 per cent New V??v 9fl nar ??nt and \W Jprsev. R 22 per cent Percentages of the other states were not given. Big Cut in Auto Industry. The largest percentage of reduction ^ A in specific industries, 69 per cent, ocW curred in the automobile %and acees- J sory industry, and this was taken to ^ account largely for the great reduction ^ in employment in Michigan. This in- j l dustry, the employment service an1 noun cement said, employed about 8 ^ per cent of the total workers in all in- ^ dustry in the country a year ago. i Second in rank in the reduction of B employes was the building trades, with J ife: approximately 52 per cent Last Jan- * ||L uary about 11 per cent of the total industrial workers was employed in this 1 iff industry. w lMj|r A reduction of 35.5 per cent was ESp! noted in the textile and related industries, 35 per cent in leather and its ^ products and 32 per cent in lumber H and house furniture. The reduction in ?9 metals and products, machinery, elec?5 trie goods and foundry products was p fm 30.5 per cent; in packing and food ^ Pp products 19 per cent and in clay, glass, cement and stone products 19 ~ per cent. The total reduction in the Southern states, including Kentucky, was only about 100,000. C o !T?fy A Step Forward. * >. <?>??" A ilbl was introduced in the legislature by Hon. Irdelle Hilliard recently calling for a bond issue of $400,000.00 for Georgetown county, to be expended when a like amount is available from the federal government for specified permanent improvement The bill calls for the appointment of a special commission which will carry out the act if it succeeeds in passing both houses. In teh oponion of the Georgetown Times-Index, the tfill Iwill pass the house and be sent up to the sen; te where an amenument will be made calling for an election the coming spring or summer and as there seems to be a difference of opinion as to the advisability of bonding the county, it is proper that the people of the county be given an opportunity to, vote on the question. bAk* .

You'll Pick Up Again Quickly With Plenty of Red Blood Corpustles Physicians nowadays take a blood test when you are run down. They count the red corpustles in vour bloo^. If these are too few they give you a tonic for the blood. It happens right along. They are always off the lookout for indications of weak blood. Why? Because they know when your blood is weak your resistance to disease is low. Your vitality and en ergy quickly run down. You can tell when your blood is weak. You look pale, feel tired. You are not ill, but you don't feel right You don't want to do things. That is the time to take the well-known tonic, Pepto-Mangan.

The United States of America now is rapidly becoming the world's matrimonial center, says a Washington dispatch. Blessed with an oversupply of males in proportion to females, this country now is attracting women of all nations at the rate of nearly 350,000 a year, government records show. Thousands of these women hope to obtain husbands and homes in this country, while thousands more are coming to join husbands and other male relatives from whom they have been separated for years. Every ship from Europe and the Brithish Isles is bringing the women here. They constituted 42.4 per cent. - ? a a % # -it _ 1.; - i.L. 01 tne total 01 ail immigration in uie fiscal year ended June 30, and the I proportion now is probably greater. I Before the war women constituted 33 | per cent, of the immigrants. Brithish, I rah, Italian and French women form ( ! nearly 50 per cent of the total immii gration from those countries. | The rush of women to the United i States is regarded by government of| ficials as a logical result of the war, | which killed and maimed ml Ions of males in Europe, leaving the war-torn countries with an abnormal excess of [ women. ! ^ If We Could Only Realize. "If all South Carolinians could realize that there are two starving childret in the Central European states for' every man, woman and child in South Carolina, they would feel," sa;rs William Elliot, state chairman of the European Relief Codhcil, "more like giving their mite as one widow did." She sent this state's headquar ICIO W1U VU511 Uiv. n*uvi?v?M4 Arw\i ere of the organizations backing up Mr. Hoover, $16 with the following letter: "Am enclosing $16.00 for the chil dren of Europe. I deserve and want no credit for this, as it is part of the tenth of my income for some time, several months in fact, which I consider as belonging to the Lord. I have three splendid little fatherless children of my own being cared for by our Denominational Orphanage, Baptist, and I know they are not hungry " Could there be better example of living up to the Golden Rule of "Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you"? Many South Carolinians have already sent in contributions, which to January 1st amount to Januaryetat and more is being sent in every day. This means that South Carolina is credited, as are all other states, with every cent that is given to tfle European Relief council, wheather it com<*s through the Literary Digest, or churches or other organizations, or through the state chairman, William Elliott. All checks in South Carolina, however, should be made out to Franklin K. Lane, Treasurer, and sent to European Relief council, Masonic Temple, Columbia. ColJ. N.
