 Sultan: "I am burning to see those nice little pictures
 Colonel: "The first one shows how we pillage town without the slightest prov ocatfOn"
 Sultan: Quite in the Turkish style. Ny congratulations"
 Colonel: Here we are seen finishing of the wounded. and then raising our thanks to Heavenly God"
 Sultan: Ripping! Allah alone is great ''
 Colonel: "See this; our men are shoot Ing down civilians and burying them alive head foremost"
 Sultan: "Delicious.''
 Colonel: "Now we are attacking the girls.'
 Colonel: "of course. of course. But if you will forgive me for saying SO, am not altogether satisfied. There seems to be something wanting" Colonel: 'If your majesty will only wait. I was reserving that for the finale. Look! This Is how we impale children on our bayonets.'' Sultan: "Well done! Yes, that is war: real war! Long live the Kaiser!"

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
E, HENRY R. SEAGER Professor PopIiticnl Economy,

ably irregular employment for large proportion of our working people. and unemployment for longer or shorter pe- riods for a greater and increasing num- Der.
 Remedies
 In addition to the remedies made prom nent In current dscussions-an expan- sion of public work, the opening of work rooms. an efficient organization of con nected public employment bureaus, na- tional, state and municipal. etc..-we need urgently an adequate system of unem- ployment insurance. For wage -earners, year is not, or should not be, bad thing. The only way they can get va cation is by being unemployed.
 I believe that through a well worked out system of unemployment insurance wage-earners might be relieved from the worry. uncertainty and actual suffering which unemployment now causes and at the same time be enabled to enjoy the holidays which. especially in this coun- try. they now so much lack This is not merely an amiable theory. Several European cities. and the United King dom for several of it's most important industries, have systems of unemployment insurance in successful operation.
 The insurance method of providing
 
 out-of- work benefits paid by trade unions. These benefits were so popular that in the United Kingdom before the national | insurance act of 1911 was passed Sl of the | 100 principal unions had them and ex- pended on them about one-third of their | total incomes.
 r With it's national system of free public employment exchanges. established in 1909, in successful operation, the United King dom introduced in 1911 it's system of com pulsory unemployment insurance for em- ployes in building and construction work.
 Paying Insurance Costs | Employers in these trades are required to see to it that their employees secure | from the government insurance offices. of which 1000 odd were opened in addition to those equipped in the 4S0 employment bureaus. unemployment insurance cards. | On these they are required to paste each week pennies worth of insurance stamps which they buy like ordinary postage stamps from the postoffice. They are re- quired to pay one-half the price of these | stamps, or 5 cents d week for each em- ploye themselves. and permitted to de- | duct the other one-half from wages. To the sums secured by the sale of the stamps the government adds out of the public treasury one-third more, or three and a third cents week for each

 Tt is an i'll wind that blows no one the widespread unemployment from which we have suffered this winter is the more intelligent public interest in the prob lem
 All economists agree that unemploy- ment is problem of growing seriousness. Tariff changes. foreign wars or other ex- traordinary causes may raise 1t to the position of national calamity but even without these influences 1t has become one of the gravest evils that threatens our wage -earners. It's chief causes, on specialization of industries and multi plication of those which are seasonal rather than continuous.
 Seasonal Work
 Farming, our most important industry, is seasonal. Very active in spring. sum- mer and autumn. it becomes dull. almost stagnant. in the winter. The president in his address at Indianapolis recently told of the good work of the department of labor in advertising in the postoffices the need or 30OO0 men to harvest the crops in the middle west last fall. He did not go on to explain what became of these 5000 men after the crops were harvest ed and the farms had no further use for them.
 Not merely 5000 men but hundreds of | thousands of men, women and children are employed for few months every year harvesting crops. picking berries and fruit, and in the canning industries At the close of the short season they are thrown out of employment. Othel 1 hundreds of thousands are employed 1T | construction work-as longshoremen or l the Great Lakes, and in navigation or lakes and rivers that are frozen ovel in winter--who are regularly thrown ou of work during the winter months.
 Seasonal industries result not merel, | from the division of the year into sea sons but from vagaries of fashion. Al
 branches of the clothing industry, in cluding even the manufacture of boot and shoes. are seasonal The element oi | risk due to changing fashions tends tt

Leipsic Badly Handicapped

Basel, February Correspondence of the Associated Press IA Swiss subject living at Leipsic writes that the manu- lecturers there arc handicapped by q shortage of coal. wool. leather and pe- troleum, and by the lack of skilled help. The German papers. however. declare that trade is proceeding as usual and that the Leipsic fair will be held as usual this year. Strassburg Is reported to be short of coal. The production of the mines has dwindled almost to notl- ing because of all the miners having gone to the front. The work of women has been tried in some mines, without appreciable results. The gas works at Strasshurg are working on an old stock of English coal.

for trying to regularize employment by two circumstances: First, they have to pay one-half of the premium. If they can reduce unemployment so that the income of the fund will prove more than is needed they have a good case for demanding that the premiums be made smaller. Second, if they pay premiums for the same employe for 5o weeks In the year they are entitled under tho plan to refund of one-third of their contribu- ton. This gives them a motive for try ing to employ continuously as many of their emtloyes as possible.
 The United Kingdom has successfully established unemployment insurance for 100000 of her wage-earners. It requires only persistent, determined and intelii- gent effort to adapt the British system to American conditions and to sec ire for our wage-earners and our industries the great benefits it is capable of comforting.

insured employe. Though so small in
 amount these payments aggregated in 1918 about e2,300oM or Si1500,0o0. out of which benefits could be provided. The benefit paid is not large. only seven shillings a week, but enough under Eng lish conditions to preserve family from outright Restitution. This may be in-
 creased by trade unions in organized
 trades on condition that the union pays at least one-fourth of the total the usual benefit in such trades Is F shillings
 a week.
 Moreover. to encourage trade unions to provide out-of-work benefits for their members. the government grants sub sidy of two shillings per unemployed
 member to every union which pays a benefit of 1s shillings a week provided
 that in administering the system the union conforms to regulations applying to the compulsorily insured. In 191S In addition to the 2, 10000 compulsorily in- sured. 6o0o0o were voluntarily insured through their unions.
 How the Plan Succeeds | There is every evidence that the plan was working quite successfully up to the | time of the war. Also 1t seems to have
 met the severe test of war conditions
 without drawing very heavily on the re- serve fund that had been accumulated
 and now seems to be operating as well
 as in the preceding period of peace. In | the first year the income exceeded the expenditure by about ei 600.00o. or ss.0oo, : 1 o0o, and though a. considerable reserve
 is needed 1t looks as though the gov i ernment had been unduly cautious in it's estimates and could afford to pay a high CT benefit than the seven shllings a week 1 it now provides.
 l This success has been due to the care
 with which it's operation was safeguarded l so as to prevent fraud, on the one hand and to induce employers to exert them 1 selves to lessen the amount of unem-
 ployment. on the other.
 1 The only sure way of testing the good l faith of a man who says he wants work | is to offer 1t to him. 1t is right here that the British public employment bti- reaus render an Indispensable service. Of | the 100000 insured persons who were un- employed during the first six months | that the British law was in full opera l ton, 30 per cent were found jobs be-
 fore the end of the first week. Sixty , two per cent were found jobs before the 1 expiration of the 14 weeks during which i unemployment benefits were paid to them l 2 per cent were for some reason dsqual- 1 flied from receiving benefits and only I per cent remained unemployed after the period when their benefits ceased.
 In practice the system thus served ir l large measure it's purpose of passing un- l employment around-one-thrd of the tota | number insured being unemployed at some | time in the year-and of giving some in- | come to the unemployed during their in
 voluntary holiday
 Employers are given strong motive

 Explaining the title of "The Second Blooming" w. L. George, its versatile author says: "The second blooming In women is the period beginning any where between five and 10 years after their marriage, when those in the upper middle class can find nothing so do; in other words, another dangerous age" MT. George paints vivid pie ? ture of the lives of three married sis ters during this period.
 Mir. George was born in Paris in 1882. of English stock, was educated there up to and including his university course. and served in the English army. He went to England in 1902 where he took up literature and Journalism Al the age of 20 he was London corres- pondent of two Paris dailies. From 1906 to 1909, he did a great deal Of woik in politics and economies. such as land questions. emisration, housing, etc, wrote Engines of Social Prog ress,' in 1907; France in the rwen- tieth Century" 1908; Labor and Hous- ing at Port Sunlight" 1909. He then became convinced that social an9 phil osophical ideas are best spread through fiction and wrote, first of all, "A Bed of Roses which was published in 1911; then "The City of Light" "Uneil the Bay Break" and, in 1914, "The Making of an Englshman,' pronounced by the Atlantic Monthly, "an extraordinary and brilliant piece of work" MT. George is also the author of Dramatic Ac- tualities and Woinen of Tomorrow"
 His latest novel. 'The Second Bloom ing, has already attained a second printing in England where it has just k been published, It is searching analy- sis of the conditions of marriage in the upper middle class. Mir.
