UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS

The Democrats are telling the
country that up to recently there
were 1000 900 unemployed in this
country. The figures originally came
from Washington, and as they prov
ed a source Of irritation when an
other set were sent out later, the
new figures saying there were only
1,00o,o00 unemployed. The Demo-
Gratis, however. stick to the 1000, 900.
the better to illustrate their claims
about CoolidSe prosperity. Which
figures are correct nobody knows,
not even the partyites, who merely
guess and allege.
Unemployment figures in England
are in a similar state Of chaos. One
politician will claim 100000 are
out of work; another will place the
total at 6,o00,0o0; another at A.
100000. But none go lower than the
latter figure.
Those who are employed must
support those who are not: and no
matter what we say or think about
1t, that is what happens. In Eng
land it takes place through the dole
system; in America through rela-
tives or charity, or through the
construction OF necessary public
works"

Morkinr livestock Saves Loss

Marking of livestock sent by CO.
operative shipping associations is
an Important factor of a successful
organization, and the Department of
Agriculture recommends that a uni
form system of marking be adopted.
Cattle and calves are best marked
by clipping 4-inch Roman numerals
on the right or left hips, preferably
the former, cutting the hair very
close to the skin. Marks for sheep
should be made by using branding
fluid applied with a half inch of
stiff round-bristle brush, placing the
marks on the head, top of shoulders,
back, or rump. Hogs should be
marked by clipping not more than 4
marks on the top of the shoulder,
back, or rump; or not more than 3
marks, on the side of the shoulder,
back, or ham. Use of paint or col
ored tags is undesirable. 1t is I'M
portant to place marks where they
are conspicuous and can be seen
without unduly disturbing the ami
mails. Heavy shrinkage often re-
suits because animals are unneces-
sarily disturbed to determine the
identity of the owners.

will be required to float them. This
time is recognized in the report.
Efforts to prevent the waste OF
those few natural gases which con-
tain heliun," he said, resulted
during the past year in a contract
for the erection of a new helium-
production plant at Amarillo, Texas,
where helium will be extracted from
the natural gas of the CliffSide
structure, Potter countq, Texas
The helium content of this gas is
considerably higher than that of
the gas from Petrolia (Tex) field,
which has heretofore formed the
chief source of supply, but which is
rapidly becoming exhausted.
Due largely to Investigations by

production of helium has been re-
duced from about $4,000 per cubic

Full Garage Campaign of
Hoover Nearly Realized,
Says Report.
By Science SerOice

By Science SerUice
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The
full garage" campaign slogan of
Herbert Hoover, is approaching
nearer realization. This is shown
by the report of the secretary of
commerce, which was made public
here today.
Nearly three million automobiles
were produced in 1927, as compared
with a million and a half in 1921
and over half a million in 1914. This
is given as one of the indications of
an advance in the standards of liv-
ing in the last few years.
Shipments Of bathtubs in 1927
amounted to 1,101, 900 as compared
with approximately half million
in 1921.
Since 1929 life insurance policies
increased in value from 5000, O0O,-
900 to $64, 457 100000 and in number
from 16,695,000 to 25,5O1, 900.
How the department has contin-
ued its campaign for the elimination
of waste is outlined by Ray M. Hud-
son, assistant director of the bureau
of standards.
Some two hundred organizations
have working relations with the bu-
reau of standards, and nearly one
thousand industrial experts advise
with it in its research program" he
stated.
1.-THE public values in this CO.
operation are reflected in estimated
annual savings ranging from
$1,00O,000 for the perfection and
adoption of the Stoddard solvent
formula to $5O,O0O,0OO to the dental
profession and the public, resulting
from the improved technique for
