Autograph Collecting Old.

Emmett Campbell Hall writes in the
New York Evening Post that auto
graph collecting is of very ancient
origin. and the first authentic collector
was no less illustrious person than
Cicero. who had fine collection. Of
which he spoke with qualification.
Pliny had valuable collection. and
he mentions one Pompeius Secundus,
who had much finer one. including
autographs Of Cicero. Augustus, Vir-
gil and Gracchi. Then came the bar
barians, and nothing more is heard
of autograph collecting until the be-
ginning of the Sixteenth century,
when. about the year 1907. Bahe-
milan nobleman began keeping book
in which he recorded his hunting ex-
ploits. and to which are added the au-
tographs of the friends and guests
who participated with him in the
chase.

NEEDED VARIETY IN FOODS
Necessity for Properly Balanced
Meals Is Something That Is Not
Generally Understood.

Many attacks of illness would be
prevented If we gave our foods the
proper attention. Correct eating hab-
its will obliterate doctor bills and do
more toward promoting longevity.
Therefore the subject of eating should
be given our most careful attention.
We all need foods containing pro-
TEN, such as meat. eggs. cheese, beans.
milk, etc Adults need protein to re-
store used tissue in working, living
and breathing. Growing children re-
Guire It to furnish them with bone and
muscle tissue. At least One-fifth of
the meal should consist of protein
foods.
Carbohydrates are very essential
These are found i'm starchy vegetables
such as potatoes and cereals, sugar
| honey or fresh fruits. Carbohydrates
furnish energy and heat to the body
and should be about two-fifths of the
meal. Fats also give heat and energy
to the body. Food containing fats are
butter. salad oils, milk. nuts OleOmar'
garlne, etc.
Mineral foods are needed tC
strengthen the bone, teeth, hair and
nails. Foods that are strong in min
erals are the yolks Of eggs. meat
rolled oats. fruits and vegetables. They
keep body processes In order. The
body also requires liberal amount
Of good drinking water. which most OF
us neglect.

NATIONAL MEETING
OF UNEMPLOYMENT
Proposals for Solving Many
Major Difficulties Were
Adopted.

Washington Having agreed upon
definite remedial policies for the emer-
gency and permanent relief of the I'M
employment and the return OF com
merce and business to normal, the ma
ional unemployment conference lhurs-
dav completed It's labors, undertaken
at the request of President Harding
and adjourned without date.
To continue the work of the confer
ence until the present emergency ls
passed. the organization committee
was ordered to select standing com
mittee to be named later, which VIII
be authorized to recOnvene the CONFER
ence at any time.
The final session of the conference
Thursday was devoted to consideration
of reports by various subcommlttees'
In the main these reports were an am
| plification of general measures ADOPT
ed by the AJnference. From several
committees. majority and minority re-
ports were received. notably In the
case of the manufacturer. But on mo-
ton of Secretary Hoover 1t was decid
ed that conflicting opinions should not
be entertained for action by the con
ference

bers of the conference, read by Ernest
T. Trigg of Philadelphia and Samuei

Federation of Labor, pledging the sup
port of labor to the constructive pol
icies approved by the conference
In its less that three weeks of exist
ence the conference adopted proposals
for solving many of the major econom-
jc difficulties of the nation and sug-
gested machinery for the immediate
relief of the unemployed. Existing I'M
employment was found by the confer
ence to be a matter for the commune
ties to handle with the responsibility
for its mitigation placed upon the may
ors. To coordinate the relief work OF
the communities, central agency was
established under Col Arthur Woods,
former police commissioner OF New
York.
other emergency measures suggest
ed included the installation OF part time
Jobs. increased repair and cleanup
work by manufacturers, private houses
hotels. offices and municipalities, ex
pedItion of public work by the munich

ment congressional action at the pres
ent session on appropriation for roads
and passage of the railway funding

Permanent measures adopted by the
conference covered a wide range OF
economic factors including suggestions
for readjustment of disproportionatt

cost of transportation, enlarged prof

that this is the major controlling
factor
The relative destructive effect pro-
duced by lightweight, high-speed

has not been determined by these tests.
They do. however. indicate that equal

Impact may be as high as seven
times the static load on one rear wheel

an average value being about four
