Reveal* Some Interesting Facts—Peak Reached in 1920. New York, Au-g. o.—Contrary to general belief, the American wuge earner in 1923 is better- off than during the so-called “peak" period of 1920, according to conclusions, reached by the national industrial conference board, as a- result of researches into wages and the cost of living In plants employing more than 600,0(10 men. As a result of Its study, the board finds that the, “weighted” or comparative excess of rising wages over rising living costs was between 17 and 18 per cent greater in May, 1923, than in June, 1920, with the figure of the last pre-war month, June, 1914, as a tmsis.

“For the last month," according to a statement of the. board issued recently, “wages have been rising. Muny plums have announced increases of 10 per cent, 15 per cent and even more. In order to measure the effects of the fluctuations of the cost of living upon earnings, a figure known ss 'real' earnings is developed by dividing. abe_lmiex nutnher of hourly -or iii££felJL-£mngS-tti2-Line...lndfcx..niimbe;. of the cogt of living. Thus by discounting th'e effect of fluctuations In the cost of living, the purchasing value

of money earn I ngs for different periods may be determined. “It is generally believed that at the peak -of high wages in 1920 tile wage earner wqs in a more advantageouh position than he has occupied since] that time. It is true that wages were at their highest level in 1920, but the cost of living was also at that time high. "Beginning with the middle of 1922 i earnings again began to rise, first as I a result of longer hours worked, and ; later because of increases in wuge ! rates. Wages are fast approaching the peak levels, while the cost of living was considerably below the peak and In consequence ‘real’ earnings rose well above the former’peak figures.” - V ‘ German Paper Marks May ' Sopn Bfc Done Away With • New York, Aug. - 6.- German marks depreciated 40 per cent over the week end, being quoted In the local market at 53 cents a million, or 1,886,792 to the American dollar, as compared with 89 tents a million Sat- i urday. j Cable reports that Germany was floating an internal gold loan in bonds' (if small denominations were regarded , here as foreshadowing the disappear l -'] ance of the paper marks and the substitution of the gold bonds as currency.

SUNFLOWER FAMILY Mother Sunflower told the Sunflower children she wanted to tell them something of Sunflower history. The Sunflower children looked so bright that Mother Sunflower knew it would not be-liard to teach them. And then, too, the children would not object because there would be no dates to remember and they would not have to answer questions at the end of the lesson. They knew that, for Mother Sunflower lin'd talked to them before of what they must do nnd of some of the family ways and she had never made them recite tiie lessons afterward which was a great help I It was true that the Sunflower children did ns they were supposed to do, but then, of course, they were very bright anyway. But. yet We cannot think of them-as the brightest of ail creatures for they did not have lo recite. And often It is easy to understand something but very hard to explain'it and to answer questions about It. “In the first place,” said Mother Sunflower, “we are all made up of many little flowers." —i - • Tiie Sunflower children all nodded their heads as thbugh to say: “Yes,. Mother dear.” "The rose is a flow-er all by Itself. It is not made up of many little roses. But "each one of our heads Is made up of many little flowers clustered to-4 gether to make one big flower or head. “You will notice that if you look at yourselves carefnll.v and witli an eye to family history nnd family ways." Mr. Wind-cime along then and blew just so the Sunflower children could take little looks at their own heads nnd each saw that what Mother Sunflower had said was quite, quite true. “We’re one of the largest families In the world, among .“the flowers,” Mother Sunflower continued. “In faet I think we are memhers ot the largest group of flowers without any .exception and that is a splendid honor to belong to such a big family. "Members of our family are In all parts. Insects admire our great beauty and our size and they come to visit us. “Oh yes, we have, visitors. Sometimes we’re very busy with callers. In fact we’re almost us b'usy with callers -as- the lady who sits on yonder buck porch.". -v Mother Sunflower waved toward the direction of a hack porch ujion which sat a beautiful lady dressed in white. She was very dainty and very graceful and very lovely to. look at. “Yes,” said Mother Sunflower, “we that lady. And you know’ how her porch is filled, day after day with callers. Os course her callers are people and jot Insects!“ i—<“We know that,” said the Sunflower callers. v “Although I love a very bright golden color above all colors,” Mother Sunflower continued, “still 1 do love to see the lady wear white. “White Is so becoming to her and she always looks so summery. /That is a word which I’ve heard, and so I sup-

"Yes, Mother Dear.” pose I may use it. It means that when people look summery they look like the summer time, lovely amj at-their host. "Well, she has callers all the time. Very early In tiie morning I see her sitting with, a book before Iter, but It is no time at all before the callers begin to come. “She Is so popular. And yet site has only-one head! “That shows how wonderful she musjt be. We are loved because there’are so many little flowers or so many tittle bonds which make up eacli of our single heads. And our many little heads have ilotyer sweetness In them* “But she Is just as popular with one hend! It is remarkable and yet It is perfectly true; People love to talk t her nnd hear what she has to say, for what she has to say Is very wise am], Very witty. And she is kindly witli all her wisdom, never saying things to hurt “I know [that, for I can tell by the hnppy expressions on the fuces of the Callers when they Leave. And she gives her callers sweets to eat, too, very often—Just as we do with our callers. “But I must tell you of some of our rich nnd society cousins. They are the Chrysanthemums, Dahlias, Asters, ami many others. “Oh, never forget little Sunflower children, that we belong to n great, enormous flower family* and what could be a greater honor .for flowers? Nothing cojild be a greater honor. That Is the answer to thut question I”
