Also he finds that there are no excessive executive salaries. Maybe so; but rhcre used to be a system of annual bonuses to the chief executlvm of some industrial concerns, 1.11111. greatly increased their salaries without directly advertising the fact.

The high cost of cannot be laid to the workers, for the average yearly earnings of factory workers in 1929 were $1200, whereas in 19113, this had sunk to $840. Rates of wages in one plant in 1934, he says. were 71 cents pcr hour for foremen to 29 cts for youths-the last a mere pittance as times go in towns.

"Hymns to Other Words." In a well-known magazine the other week, appeared a set of verses -- well enough written and appli-- able to the times-but undcr the heading were the words “To be sung to Melita or St. Cathcrincs". Now "Mclita" was composed by Jie famous Dr. John Bacchus Dykes, Rector of 5t. Oswalds, Durham. and he composed it especially for the words “Eternal Father. strong to sav "; and so firmly wedded nus it become to that magnificent prayer (if I be allowed the ex- pression) that both words and tune are known to those who go down to the sea in ships and are as familiar to the French navy as to our own. To use timcs for any other words but those that inspir- ed them, is to cheapcn the tunes; to set at naught the inspiration. Imagine Dykes‘s Lux bcnigna (Lead Kindly Light) sung to other words: or W N."Monk's Eventide ilibiiic with me, fast falls the cvcnlidrt sung to verses with which they have no emotional link! My theory is that if thc new words nre in- spirlng enough. a musician will arise to give them an immortal tune! g Dr. Dykes composed the tune St. Agnes for the beautiful verses
