WAGNER GRAIN LETTER . I CHICAGO. Jan. 31.' Locals mainly assume that May corn will decline somewhat Monday and that the present bulge to $1.37 was based on ' squeeze In January corn. Oats gossip still friendly. Cars scarce In all directions. There Is no change and If ' "we base predictions on the car supply for the coming week the dips In corn and oats will be mild. We are surprised at the bulge in rye when compared with the small exports. Lard ' should sell lower during early February. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 3L Enumera
tion of the nation's industries, includ
ing manufacturing plants, mines, quar
ries, oil and gas wells, forestry and
forest products, will start March 1, It was announced today by Director of Census Sam L. Rogers. For the purpose of this census the country has been divided into 589 districts and 1,200 men will be needed to make the count. A force of 98 epecial agents from the Washington
office will be in charge of the headquarters In the various states. Complete statistics covering the industries are to be gathered and these will show accurately the economic situation of the country. Figures on the number of workers employed and hours and wages will be compiled. There now are about 400,000 manufacturing plants listed by the census bureau. Men only will be employed to take the industrial census the director stated and payment will be made on the basis of $1 for each plant enumerated. Former soldiers, sailors and marines will be given the preference for this work. Hereafter the industrial census will be taken every two years, Mr. Rogers stated, instead of only at the time of the decennial population count.

Arabs Complain Against Preference in Palestine (By Associated Press) ROME, Jan. ' 31. Arab leaders in Palestine complain that Zionists have been given the most important offices and are accorded preferential treatment in that country by the British, according to a memorandum received at the Vatican from the Holy Land. It is stated that steamers loaded with Bolshevik Russian Jews from Odessa are allowed to land at Palestianian ports. The memorandum to Pope Benedict concludes by saying the Arab chiefs will refuse to assume any responsibility for the consequences which may follow this policy. A copy of the com
munication has been sent to the peace conference and to the British government. '

Best Books for Gris in Home Reading Courses
HOME READING COURSE NO. 5. (A certificate, bearing the seal of the United States Bureau of Education, signed by the commissioner of education, will be given to each girl who gives satisfactory evidence of having read all the books on the accompanying list,) In our schools boys and girls learn to read, and those who are fortunate enough to attend school of the best type form the habit of reading, learn to distinguish good books from bad and worthless books, and acquire a taste for the best. Others are less fortunate and finish or quit school with little knowledge of books, with no wellestablished habits of reading, and without a sure and discriminating taste. For most American girls school life Is short, school hours are few, and there is little time in school for general reading. At best, the schools can give them only the ability to read to understand through the eye and to interpret the printed page. The actual reading, beyond the school lessons, must be done at home and most of it after Bchool days are over; for this most American girls have much time. It is true also that reading is most profitable to those who, at the same time, are gaining knowledge through the actual and ordinary experience of life and home and industrial occupations.

through which we interpret the experiences of others, adding them to our own and thus enriching our lives beyond the possibility of our own personal experiences. The learner must ever be a worker and the worker should ever be a learner. This leads to all-sided intelligence, fullness of life, happiness and usefulness. The books recommended In this course are chosen with a view to the duties and responsibilities that most girls must meet and assume in life,
and with a consideration for their practical value in helping girls to learn the things they need to know, which can be learned most easily through reading. A good book should be read more than once, and every girl should own some of the books that she reads. Books are cheap, and money paid for them is well invested and will pay large dividends in life and happiness and even in money. Most cities and towns in the United

(Copyright, 1919, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) MARJORIE. Marjorie, sometimes spelt Margery, is one of the many popular derivatives of Margaret, which has gained a place of its own as a separate name. Since it was evolved from Margaret, it necessarily signifies 'pearl' and was taken from the Persian term for the jewel. When Margaret was subjected to the influence of other countries and became Marguerite in France; Margherita in Italy and Spain, the Scotch favorite was the lilting name of Marjorie. Margaret Ethel took it to the land of the thistle and seemed to have contrived to make it almost the nat
ional Scotch name. Margaret gained v,
vogue in England through the famous
Margaret of Anjou, Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VI, and her granddaughter, Margaret Tudor. But the oldest of all derivatives is Marjorie. Bruce's daughter is perhaps the most famous of the Scotish women so called. It was readily contracted to Maisie who does not recall "proud Maisie" of the ballad? The surname Marjoribanks was de-

U. 0. 0ILCL UU. Ullto : 1 MEN RAISE IN PAYi NEW YORK. Jan. 31. The United," States Steel Corporation yesterday anf nounced an Increase of 10 per cent ia the wages of day laborers, effective Feb. 1, from $4.6i for a ten-hour daytincluding two hours overtime, to $5.08. It is estimated that the number of! common laborers is about 170,000 of the total of 260.000. H On this basis the increase would expand the payroll of the corporation, by some $24,000,000 per year, which, is the equivalent of nearly 5 per cent on the common stock. With the present increase included, the annual pay? roll will be brought up to a level in, excess of $475,000,000. ; Elbert H. Gary, chairman. In a statement announcing the rise said: "The wage rates of day labor at tha manufacturing plants of the Steel Corporation have been increased abouti 10 per cent, to become effective FebJ 1. Other rates will be equitably ad justed." i The reference to other rates led tt the presumption yesterday that an increase commensurate with that grant ed to common labor was to be madfl to the other employes of the corporation. In this case the increase In thai annual payroll, it Is estimated, would be in the neighborhood of $40,000,000. or about 8 per cent on the common stock capitalization. In 1919 the cor poration earned only slightly in ex cess of 10 per cent on the Junlol shares, the preliminary figures being determined from the four quarterly statements. The increase announced now is the ninth that the corporation has madu since 1915. Three times in 191,6 thera were increases of 10 per cent and two rises of a like amount were made irt 1917. There were three advances inl 1918, the first an 'increase of 15 pe!fc cent and the last two about 10 pee cent.
With the exception of one increase, all have applied to the entire force o employes. The exception was an im crease granted to laborers alonej Since 1915 the increase of pay foa unskilled workers has amounted t0 144 per cent over the $2 wage prevail ing at the end of 1915.
