The weekly report of the Illinois free EMPLOY
ment office. submitted 70 the state director of the
department of labor. indicates slow Improvement
in the unemployment situation. Although the Off
cials succeeding in finding new jobs for
unemployed any great extent, there is a
tendency the part many employers TO re-
engage whom they had turned OF an emers-
ency measure.
In the week ending Jan. "A. lS OF 90 firms

Apparently this due effort on the par
OF employers be ready for the expected business
revival by keeping their forces nearly intact az
possible.
If more employers would testify their expecta-
tions in this manner and if the other parts in the
industrial and economic machines would get back
into their normal places and get busy under the
business usual" slogan, the end of hard times
would suddenly view.

Is WIFE AN EMPLOYED

bill introduced in the Kansas legislature by a
member provides that a wife may assume
the status of employe in her home. This,
under the Tate workmen-s compensation act would
entite her to damages for injuries sustained in the
performance of her housework. Under the pro-
posed measure the husband becomes the employer.
The sponsor of the bill thinks it will pass.
Recognition of homework labor and as
fraught with hazard that is certainly coming n.
After the centuries in which wives have burned
and sprained famed and wrecked themselves
and still been held idle parasites feeding upon
their laborng husbands. this is revolution
airy.
How will the opposition meet the situation? Will
il deny that housework is labor, and then dodge
the broom? or will it acknowledge it industry,
yet refuse to this class of workers the compensa-
tion allowed others? will it the stand that
a wife is voluntary partner IN the household con-
Germ. and hence cannot claim damages as an en-
pIoye?
It's a pleasing Prospect even for a which is
used to weird legislation.

STARK STATISTICS.

OF course statistics don't prove anything. And
body. they say. is interested in statistics except
statisticians. Wen, in a while putting
Of statistics together gives one very disturbing i'm
procession.
There those statistics from the treasury de
partment which made blink the enormous
uLon which people paid taxes last year
And then there those statistics showing that
SO American families control more than 100000
900 each and that hundred American families
control more than 100000 each.
And then there are the new statistics OF the de
partment OF labor revealing the that 3.47S461
mot including white collar" employees have
been thrown out of employment during the year.
Economically these statistics probably have
intimate connection. 1t would be idle suggest that
these families which have 100000 900 $4,000,
900 each turn part Of it to these unemployed
That would a wholesale charity that might
be perncious in its influence.
And il II possibly equally idle suggest that these
families give the unemployed jobs. because these
families unquestiOnabB haven't jobs to offer these
still, the impression somehow intrudes that 81
is unequal arrangement The in the street
confronted by such stark statistics likely to say.

Take your laughter while you may,
Love the sky when it is blue,

Soon enough will sorrow come"
Then TO him the sorrows came,
Quenched was summers gentle

Round his home the tempests blew,
Chilling all the joys he knew
Grief and age were his to share,
winters snow was in his hair:
Even then he'd smile and say:
Life was lovely yesterday.
Battered is this heart of mine
And these eyes have lost their shine,
From the garden l have known
Many tender blooms have clown,
But how rich I've been aud glad

From the joys Of long ago
Come these scars OF hurt and woe.

Love has built what time must
