FIGURES ON UNEMPLOYMENT


Obviously nobody knows the exact
figures on unemployment. That does
not prevent the manufacture of sta
tistics, however, as this is a high
powered industry that serves the
purpose of giving a semblance Of au-
thority to the figures.
In 1921. Herbert Hoover says.
there were between 100000 and
5000, 900 unemployed in the United
States. That was the time, Of course,
when the Harding administration
started and things We're terrible,
what with the close of the war and
the close of the Democratic admin
istration.
1t is distressingly disagreeable to
go back that far, however. if the
official" figures OF the Department
of Commerce of 1921 are quoted. The
report of the Hoover department at
that time was that $780, 00-not
between 100000 and 100000
were out of work at that time.
Now. according to the statistics
ably quoted, there are only
100000 unemployed in the coun-
try. Maybe less. BY the end of the
campaign there should be none at
all.
The Democrats. equally prolific in
the quotation of statistics, declare
without hesitancy that there are
more than 100000 unemployed in
the nation. This must include house
wives driven out of the kitchens by
labor saving machinery and having
nothing to do but go to afternoon
teas, card parties or the movies.
The wise man or women will not
take much stock in any of the fig
ures. Our ability to count unem-
ployed noses is admittedly weak, and
it makes no difference whether the
L. s. Department of Commerce, or
the L. 8. Department OF Labor. Is
cited as an authority. The Labor De-
partment. in fact, asked some
months ago to hurl some dependable
statistics into the political hopper
took less than week to do its duty,
saying there We're only 10000 and
not 100000, who we're minus jobs.
This is large enough country
to make the gathering Of statistics
in hurry a most unreliable process.
The only way reliable figures could
be obtained would be by taking a
special census, which would result In
no unemployed being reported be-
cause all the unemployed could be
given jobs in taking the census.
1t may have been noted by those
who turned to the right page and the
right column that Roger w. Babson
has something to say on unenploy-
ment and that he employed what
purports to be official statistics
from the Department of Labor. The
index, he said, was per cent less
than a year ago and payrolls per
cent lower. We do not know how
correct these figures are but sur
mise they are better than ''esti-
mates" about the actual number Of
unemployed. At any rate. they do not
conform with the figures being
thrown to the winds in political dis
sertations Yet that may not be sur
prising, considering that politics is
not an exact science.

FANTASY OF THE CRATE

BY Edwin Rice
Likened unto many things
Is the heart OF =. man and
maiden:
Be 1t light or be 1t laden.
Simile the fancy brings.
Fancy, rowing here Ind there,
Laughs the lit'ral mind to scorn,
Hearts resemble popping corn
Good, old-fashioned popping
corn.
Popping corn is hard, you say?
So, saith Fancy, blithsomely,
May the heart OF mortal be,
Till the flames about it play.
Flames of love their warmth be-
stow
POP! The stony heart ii gone!
Thus we see. In Fancy's ahow.
Hearts resemble popping corn
White and glowing popping
corn.
But pray listen, all who should
II there be too hot fire,
Carelessness, or hands that tire.
Popping corn is spoiled for good.
Mind the way its fate is met,
You whom Fancy seeks to warm:
Some. perchance. don't need it-yet
Hearts resemble popping corn
Quick to change is popping
corn.

Miss Jessie Dell, one OF the civil
Service Commissioners. revealed the
plan yesterday In an address AZ the
weekly meeting Of the LAVAL Knigllfs
of the Round Table. held at the
University Club.
Find Police Records
After tracing the history OK the
commission for the past 40 years,
during which time the Orga1iza-
ton has endeavored to supply the
Government with the best qualified
persons available for vacant posi-
ton. Miss Dell explained that the
art of fingerprint Identification IS
planned for the entire. service.
I'm our New York office, where
fingerprinting has been In operation
for perhaps five years, It has been
found that from 2 to per cent or
the eligibles have records with the
police department. with an additional
is per cent minor violations, Miss
Dell said.
1--WE had one case in Boston.
where an applicant who stated he
had never been arrested, was by
means of his fingerprints, found to
have been arrested 80 times.
I'VE have thus far applied the
0ySAGAh OAAAy ~ a
extent, but it is hoped to establish
in our Washington office a central
fingerfprint bureau to which will be
sent the finger prints of all who
make eligible ratings in our exami-
nations, such prints to be classified
in the central bureaus. These
prints will go through the hands of
Is fingerprint men before final CLASH
fication.
IF, as sometimes happens. a
crook enters our examinations and
passes. we will he fairly certaip that
he will be promptly spotted in case
he has heretofore been finger
printed.
This work Is undertaken not be.
cause of any suspicion that the
character of the applicants for posi-
tions is questionable, but merely as
q precautionary measure to keep
out of the service those who are not
worthy of IT," Miss Dell concluded.
