MAYFL0WER SAILING

Sept. Is
ON Sept. Is, 1920, the Pilgrims
~ 100 strong, sailed on the May
flower for America.
The Pilgrims, sometimes called
the SeparatistS, because they dis
Sented from certain religious be-
liefS in England, had emigrated &c
Leyden, Holland, where they were
allowed to believe as they pleased.
After ten years residence there
they decided to settle in America
They left Holland in a ship called
the Speedwel to go to Southampton
in England. where friends were to
join them in another ship, the May
flower.
When they, started for America
the SpeedweII was found leaking, SC
passengers from both ships were
crowded on the Mayflower.
After a stormy crossing. the ship
reached the shores of Cape Cod
Mass, instead of the coast of what
is now New Jersey, where they had
permission to land. But they de-
cided to stay where they landed, and
SO founded the settlement of Ply
mouth.
They lived crudely in hoorleSs log
cabins and suffered for want Of
food. During the first winter more
tf1an half of the little company died,
including the governor.
Later on, the Puritan party in the
Church of England. also subject to
religious oppression. joined the Pill
grirns ard established several SETTLE
mentS ON Massaclaus bay.

Change Towels Often to Avoid Germs

buck or paper towel for removing
visible dirt and germs from the
skin.
Not long ago an investigator in
the University of Nebraska made a
careful study to find out the per-
centage of germs from the skin on
underwear that was not changed
often enough. Millions and millions
of germs were found on underwear
after one day, and the number in
creased steadily the longer the
underwear happened to be worn.
The modern woman wears very
little underwear and the same over
garments are worn again and again
without dry cleaning or washing.
No doubt, much of the infection of
the skin on the back and chest of
which women complain may be
credited to this cause.

Unemployment Insurance

The conference for progressive labor action has
drafted bill for unemployment insurance for intro
auction in the forty-eight state legislatures Essen
tisl features of this bill
a. Unemployment insurance is to be a charge on
industry in the same way as workmen's compensa-
ton for accidents. If it is legitimate that buSl-
ness should accumulate reserve in good times SO
as to be able to pay dividends in periods of de-
PRESTON it surely equally legitimate that industry
should accumulate reserves to tide unemployed
workers during slack times. Therefore, advocate
contributions by employers alone, and not the tr1-
pzrte arrangement of contributions from employer,
employee and the state, common in European schemes.
80 We advocate the principle of graduated con-
ribuons industries and establishments having more
unemployment to pay larger percentage OF their
pay rolls into the fund 1t is hoped in this way to
encourage Sterilization of industry and employment
for the less unemployment industry Will have, the
less it will have to pay in premiums.
IS. Unemployed workers are to receive 40 per cent
of their prevailing weekly wage with 10 per cent adj
ditional for a wife and per cent for each child
m In q that is in no case more than total OF 60
per cent Of the prevailing weekly of the unem-
ployed worker Insurance is to be paid for not more
than twenty-Six weeks in each year. A worker on
short time not making 40 per cent OF his preVaiLng
weekly wage is to be paid the difference between
what he receives in his pay envelope and 40 per
cent of his weekly wage. In no case Is worker 70
receive in any one year more than the equivalent
OF 40 per cent of his weekly wages for twenty-sX
weeks or 50 per cent if he has wife and children.
"a Any one who has worked and for whom con-
tributons have been made in the state for period of
50 weeks not necessarily consecutive is entitled to
insurance
The conference also favors federal bill carrying
an initial appropriation of s1oooOOOOo from which the
federal department of labor may pay annually to any
state establishing satisfactory unemployment insur-
ance plan the equivalent of one-third of what the
state expands
This plan certainly goes the whole hog, and has the
virtue of candor and forthrightneSs.
But it Is not strategically sound It will be hard
enough to get unemployment bills through which split
the expense equally between employer, employe and
state To ask the employer to bear the whole burden
simply viii the pressure Of business resistance
to unemployment insurance and postpone its adop-
ton indefinitely
The employer should not be held solely responsible
for unemployment Governmental acts, Ake the
higher tsriffs which Increase unemployment may b.

Others Have Rights

MORROW said that while We

country and to defend its inter-

unless we recognized the rights OF
other people to feel and act IN the

If such philosophy is good Tor

Too ANNOYING

r DO not take this movement as
Il a joke. It seems to me as mean
and petty a pandering to super
stition as I have encountered. I
am curious to know what type of
mind is behind it and what possible
purpose is served by sending out
these Matchmaking suggestions to
the credulous.
Sometimes the case made for the
chain is less than clear. For in
stance, when I'm told that "Pola
Negri owes to this chain having
married Prince Tilweene," I wonder
whether all concerned are willing
now to sing the praises Of the
round robin.
"The chain" as you probably
know, was started in Flanders by
a colonel in the American army,
and it must go around the world
three times"
If this is true, that officer has
much to answer for. He probably
started his Spiteful, scheme in some
moment of depression which left
him hating all mankind.
just why the chain must" go
around the world three times, and
what purpose that will serve, I do
not know. But I am aware that the
continuance serves TO degrade the
human spirit and show up as era
vens all men and women who dare
not stand their ground against a
trivial and synthetic superstition.

Stores ThrOnged
By Gift Recipients
Asking Exchanges
Buying for Opposite Sex
Blamed for Majority
of Mistakes.

Did those Christmas stockings At
you?
Maybe they did, but countless persons
who f1ocked into downtown stores to-
day to exchange gifts for more appro-
pirate sizes, had different story to
tell.
Articles snapped ranged all the way
from gloves to galoshes and from pa
jamas to pants. In most instances, the
presents which proved too large or
too small were bought by members of
the opposite sex. In practically every
instance the exchanges were willingly
made.
One man walked into Pennsylvania
avenue store displaying a brown tie he
had found on his Christmas tree.
IT haven't anything except blue suits
and can't wear brown ties" he eX-
planned. May exchange this one?"
WAS it purchased here?" clerk in
quired.

well, if it wasn't, we can't help

The disappointed recipient of the gift
insisted, however, and finally emerged
from the store minus the unwanted
neckpiece. In its place he possessed
blue tie and a white linen handker-
chief
