NEW YORK, March 30-A ma
ton wide investigation of unem-

being made by the National Bur
eau of Economic Research.
This inquiry is defined as an en-
deavor to reduce economic waste
to increase production and to for
mulate comprehensive and indus
try hitherto left largely to chance.
1t is expected that, together with
the companion Inquiry on sea son
al unemployment which will fol
low, it will disclose definitely the
causes, trends and distribution Of
unemployment.
Wesley Clair Mitchell, the bur
eau's director of research, is con
Quoting the inquiry under the aus
pieces Of the standing committee
which was left in being by the
Presidents Conference in Uncm-
ploynent and Of which Secretary

On the basis OF the information
obtained, the committee hopes to
recommend a concrete policy and
program of control to displacc tenn
patary palliatives and emergency
measures in dealing with the uncm-
ployment problem in this country.
The whole movement, the bur
eau says, has the interest and co
operation of nucrOus organizations
including the Sage foundation and
the Federal American Engineers
ing Societies. The inquiry viii col-
sumo six months.
The scope and Importance Of the
material to be gathered is sum
married by the bureau as follows:

W hat the present statistics show.
Types of the unemployed. Under
employment. Can such data be

payroll data as an index of mem-
ployment. Can such data be made
a trustworthy index?
Relations Of unemployment to
the business cycle: Present social
costs of cyclical unemployment.
Proposed palliatives and pre-
ycntives of cyclical unemployment:
Long range planning of public
works, railroad and other large

clothing and novelties. Unemploy-
mcnt insurance and out-of-wor4l
benefits paid by trade unions. En-
ployment offices. Financial devices
and measures for controlling the
business cycle. Improvement in
methods of compiling and distribu-
ting information as TO business

The magic word in the fashion
world today is matelasse. 1t is the
newest mystery for mere man to
unravel when he hears women talk
ing about clothes, | am going to
help him out . bit by telling lust
what matelasse means. 1t is a
quilted satin fabric. Stitching in in
tricate design in self or contrast
ing colcrs on satin material gives
the quilted effect. This material is
being used for jackets, blouSes, and
entire frocks and is quite the smart
est thing of the season. The wom-
an who has something made, Of
matelasse or trimmed with mattel
asse this year can take her place
in the front line of the fashion
parade.
A gown need net be extreme or
Understandable just because it
, uses this new material which comes
from Paris. Here is a very conserv-
alive little frock suitable for any
daytime wear and it has the very
newest material in the blouse. Navy
matelasse silk stitched in green is
combined with navy poiret twill. A
low waist line, loose pleats, and bell
sleeves are pleasing features in this
dress.

A little more imagination on your !
part will probably rekindle the fire
of your love and make you thank
full that you are only % so that II {
fate is kind you will have years Of
happiness and love with your dear
husband and children. ..
1t is needless for me to compare
your life with the life Of the aver
age wife. Surely you realize how
much kinder life has been to you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young girl aged 10 and a4 deeply
in love with certain boyA He is
very nice to- me. We have gone
together over year and have new
er had a cross word and he always
treats my folks nicely. He says he
loves me and I am sure he does as
he does not go with any other girl,
or use tobacco or profane lam
guage or play pool or gamble.
Since he does not go with any 9th
er girl but me. would it be right
for me to go to the show and out
riding with other boy friends?
He has asked me to marry him
as he needs a wife to cook and
keep house for him, but am OF
one religion and he another. He
said if l would marry him he
would join my church. Do you
think We could get along? His
brother and wife don't like people
of my religion. Can you suggest
some way SO that we could get
married and not make his brother
angry?
How long should we be engaged
before getting married? told him
that l loved him and would marry
him next year, but he seems to
doubt my word. He thinks l am
Joking with him. How can l con-
vince him that l do intend to mar
ry him? He has offered me an en-
gagement ring, but I didn't want it
at that time.
Any advice or information you
can give me concerning this mat
ter will be greatly appreciated.
A BRIDE TO BE.
If you are not betrothed, it would
be all right to go places with other
young men. In case you have
promised to marry the young man
who loves you so devotedly, it
would not be right for you to go
with others.
Religious difference is very ser
ious in some cases, while in others
it does not interfere in the least
with happiness. Not knowing eth
er of you, l cannot prophesy the
outcome of your union. If you
want to please the young mans
brother, let the justice of peace
marry you. 1t seems to me that
would be a very wise course in a
| case like yours.
, There is no fixed length of time
that an engagement should last.
Circumstances determine that ir
each case. Probably if you accept
ed ring and wore it. the young
man would be more inclined to be-
lieve that you loved him. really
doubt your love for him since you
| want to go with other young men
pnd want to put off your wedding
until next year l would certainly
advise you to take time in making
I'D your mind and to be very sire
that your love is sincere and not a
passing fancy.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / was
married when was Is to a man 10
years older than myself. We loved
each other dearly ut first and l
would never have believed that 10
years of married life could change
things so completely. My husband
has always been very good to me,
faithful and indulgent, and know
that he will continue in this way as
long as he lives. The terrible thing
is that we have grown SO far apart
and our relationship is more that
of brother and sister or father and
daughter than it is husband and
wife. We have three dear chill
dren who are being brought up in
a home where there is perfect har-
mony and respect between their IA
Their and mother, but GOODNESS
exists which the children are too
young to realize.
l find. myself the age of Is
eager for mans love but tied to a
man who is perfectly content to
live in his peaceful home with the
love of his three children. Twenty
eight years old and heavens knows
how many loveless years ahead of
me! Sometimes / think can't
bear it.
My days are spent at home with
the Homework and the. children,
and my evenings are spent sitting
by the table opposite my husband,
reading my own book while he
reads his. Occasionally he takes
me to a theatre or We entertain
some friends. l long for excite
ment but excitement does not come
my way. My husband does not
know how to dance and will not
learn and he objects to my at
tending dances without him.
Please tell me what l can do to
make my life richer.
DISCONTINUED.
Blessings have been heaped upon
you. and in the face of your rich
store you cry for experience and
excitement which would shatter
the harmony of your existence and
bring suffering not only to yourself
but to your good husband and your
beloved children. Fate has been
more than kind to you to give you
a faithful and indulgent husband
and a harmonious home in which to
rear your children.
can see what is wrong; your
girlhood was cut short by early
marriage. Now you are not philo-
sophical enough to be thankful for
your blessings and to prove to
yourself by the power of reason
that the pleasures of girlhood would
be trifling in comparison to the Joy
Of having your own home, your ex-
ceptionally noble husband, and
! your little children.
Probably much of the GOODNESS
which exists between you and your
husband results from your atti-
tude toward him. There is Away:

Remember, dye will not cover eth
er dirt or grease stains. Always
test out dye on a small piece of the
material to be dyed. Let it dry and
press carefully; then you will see
how the whole win look. Mix the
dye in a clean enamelware basin
and do the real dyeing in a large
enameled preserving kttle. This
insures the dye from being dark
ened by contact with metal.
Don't make the dye too strong
at first. 1t is easier to add color
than to remove it. Don't hurry the
process; dye in an enamelware
kettle can be safely kept from day
to day and many materials are i'm
proved by repeated clippings.
Mothers of small children find
home dyeing a great economy and
many girl helps out her dancing
frocks by change of color from the
home dye vat.
For cleaning enamel bath tubs
and basins, there is nothing bette
than a cloth saturated with kero-
