WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The pro-
gram OF the. progressives in congress
is rapidly forming. The essentials of
their program are: Immediate and
adequate liquidation by the govern
ment of obligations to returning SOL
diers and sailors; Prompt meeting
of the unemployment problem, follow
ed by scientific national handling of
the question of employment as per-
smanent government policy; Sever
ance of American intimate relation

possible moment, and. 4-inaugura-

policies designed to increase demo-
cracy in the United States.
Questions Closely Related.
These four items cover a multitude
of closely related questions, the pro-
gressives say Borah, johnson, Ken

progressive group. on the first
point, the progressive idea is that the

should receive maximum cof1sidera-
ton from the nation. Vocational
training and jobs for soldiers and sal
lors and rehabilitation to the fullest
degree of wounded, are among the
planks of the progressive platform.
After the present unemployment diff
ficulty is met, the progressives favor
preparedness to meet periodical un-
employment by collecting data which
would enable the federal employment
service to place surplus labor where it
is needed without delay. Point three
involves the speedy return of Amer
lean soldiers, both from the Germany
field of operations and from Russia,
leaving to Europe her own policing if
any is needed. The fourth point
covers governmental economy. revisit

islation, wise regulation of inlmigra-
tion, encouragement of American in
dustry and business and everything
possible to bring to American work

CALLS COST MORE

When the new telephone toll rates,
authorized by the postmaster general
go into effect at 12.01 tonight. per
son to person calls will cost 25 per
cent more than station to station
calls. $500.
The increase in the price of person
to person calls is occasioned because
this class of call takes over twice as
much time and effort on the part of
the operator as the station to station
calls. In the latter calls, the one
who originates the call does not spe-
city the particular person to be
reached at the station. and simply
gives the telephone number or name
and address of subscriber at tele-
phone called. But in a person TO

call specifies a particular person at
a certain place. No person to per-
20 cents,
Another source of increase in ex-
pense for telephone users comes from
the new ruling that in the case of a

he did manage TO sell, for page filters, TO
the cheaper magazines.
At last it came his way to do piece of
translation into English from the work of
an author who sometimes wrote in that

he was complimented for his successful

Then an idea came TO him II he could

He sold his story.
He sold seven more short stories in the
next year and a half. Then, desiring to
get the collected result of the magazine
publications in book form he approached
several publishers with this end in view
They all declined his proposal, since the
book trade has known dislike for vol
umes composed of short stories that have
appeared in the magazines. However,
each publisher evidenced an interest in
novel he might write.
Then John Ketch had another idea,
which consisted in writing a series of
short stories with one man as their central
figure. Romantic novels were then sue
cessful: he penned these stories il the ro-
mantle manner. With the one central fig
