WHY WORKERS BOR-
ROW

Washington.-A study of 1000
loans made by eight credit unions
shows that illness is the most common
reason why workers are forced to bor-
row. A review of the study is printed
in the Monthly Review of the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The next important reasons why
workers borrow is the winter supply
of coal, family expenses and an ac-
cumulation of debts. Nearly three
fourths of the male borrowers were
married and 85 per cent had depend
ents More than three-fifths of the
borrowers earned $40 week or less.
The largest number of loans were for
amounts between $50 and $10O.

More than 900,000 miles of fence were constructed to hold back the drifts among Nebraska's roads. In the larger cities of the state, giant rotary blows clear sidewalks and pavements.
 Wisconsin's snow blows work on two principles; one pushes the snow to one side of the road, while the other carries the snow away by cen- trifugal force. Grader blade" blows are widely used in the states where the drifts are not too deep. That type of blow has been successful against 1S-inch accumulations.

The Badgers had an easy win over
the Cubs in a hectic game OF base
ball. The Badgers seemed to be "on

the very beginning. Miranda OF the
Cubs got his hand hurt in the fifth
and was forced to retire. Marian took
his place and filled it very satisfactor-
lily but neither pitcher was given the
support due them. The Badgers on
the other hand saved their pitcher
from several hits and gave him very
good support. In spite of the fact
that Silvas (who rightfully deserved
to win) allowed only hits to IL by
Miranda and Marian, many of the
hits recorded would not have been had
