THE UNEMPLOYMENT FUND


 Shaking down money for the un- employment funds seems to be a precarious occupation. Without so- ing into the details of the money so far saved one inevitably comes to the impression that when next win ter rolls around there will be a good deal less than a million dol lars in the fund.
 There is no certainty anywhere as to how much money will be re- ouired, If one is inclined toward pe.simism the sum alleged will De high; but if there is degree Of optimism in ones makeup one comes 10 the conclusion that the situation will not be as bad as some times painted,
 While the unemployment fund grows little at a time, sundry other outlays crop up, some of which are not strictly part of the budget. Here it is also unnecessary to reca pitulate the items that have already seen public print.
 Mantestly no unem ployment fund will amount to much unless 1t goes Dratty high into the thousands Of dollars Our guess is that the fund. when it finally is completed, will be far short Of the necessities should the latter be anything like what is commonly regarded as likely.
 Another conclusion is that there will be the necessity of the city making special appropriation to devote to unemployment relief If and when this is necessary. The outlook, according to some com mentators, is that a deficiency fund will have 10 be appropriated, and some have 1t that this will amount 10 at least half a mill, and perhaps more if it is needed to swell the unemploym fund. The outlook, therefore. is for the addition of a mill in the tax rate due to these contingencies.
 Which is no pleasant pellet for the city administration devoted 10 ! economy and reduced tax rate. perhaps. however, if the reassess- ment goes we'll and the grand list is boosted. and taxes are "equalized," '" there may be a way to make 1t easier for some taxpayers who are vexed under the present arrangeme The sooner citizens know where they stand n this matter the better they will like it.

treaty papers loses much of it's sig nificance in view of the fact that every senator having sufficient energy can read the papers in Senator Reeds office.
 The record of the Senate m with holding action for lack of quorum is said to be recognized and effect i've in the conduct of a filibuster. But the electives Of filibusters was curtailed in 1917 when the Senate for the first time provided for cloture as mean. of limiting de- bate, Cloture procedure is initiated by IS Senators signing a motion to close debate upon any pending measure. This motion must be sub nitted to the Senate without debate on the second calendar day after 1t has been presented, provided a quorum is present. If the motion be approved by two-thirds of the Sem ators voting, the pending measure becomes the unfinished business of the Senate until disposed Of. No dilatory motions are then in order, all points Of order or appeals from the decision Of the chair must be decided without debate, and no Senator may speak for more than an hour until the vote is taken.
 The right of a senator. to one hour on the floor after cloture has been applied still allows fihbusters during the closing hours Of a ses- sion; hence the increasing proba- biiity of special sessions for the passage of an important measure, such as the treaty, which is opposed i by a vehement minority. Since a date for voting in the Senate can be fixed only by unanimous consent agreement, the threat of actually applying ' cloture may effectuate such an agreement, otherwise unob- tainable, The Senate applied Cloture to debate On the Treaty of Versailles in 1919; and in January 1926, to debate on membership of the 1 United States ip the World Court,
 The rules of the Senate permit killing a bill by fair means or foul. The sentiment Of the country un- questionably is in favor Of a stand up and knock down fight. settling an issue one way or another. But in the Senate q minority realizing fully that it is unable to win fair ly, is privileged to prevent a vote altogether.

Goddard Experiments May Take
 Many Years Yet

Worcester, Mass, July 10 LP - The experiments of Dr. Robert H. Goddard of Clark university, to send rocket into the air to hitherto un- reached heights in search of scien- ti1c data have received the backing of Daniel Guggenheim, founder of the Daniel Guggenheim fund for the promotion of aviation.
 Dr. Goddard, head of the univer- sity's department of physics. has been conducting his experiments for the last 5 years, but as a result of the Guggenheim grant, is planning construction of a rocket more ela- borate than any previously attempt ed.
 Uses Liquid Fuel
 Propelled by newly developed liquid fuel it is hoped to send tho rocket 25O miles into the air to gath CT scientific data at atmospheric stages. parachute attached to the rocket would bring it safely back to earth.
 Perfection of Professor Goddard's rocket" said an announcement by the university, will mean that thermom eters, barometers, electrical measuring apparatus, air traps to collect samples of air and other in- struments may be sent to extreme attitudes to bring back much needed information.
 When one of the rockets is per- fected, and this is admittedly mat ter of years, much valuable in- forrnation will be obtained in the fields of meteorology, astronomy. radio broadcasting. aviation and science in general.
 Spectrum to Be Probed
 For instance. it is expected that great deal will be learned of the spectrum of the sun above the ozone layer from 50 to 75 miles above the earth's surface. Further knowledge will be gained by radio broadcasting waves, which are known to follow the ceiling known as the Kennelly- heaviside layer. This is assumed to be layer of air charged with elec- tricity. In the field of meteorology and as a particular aid to aviation. it may be possible to prepare high elevation weather maps"
 Dr. Goddard's previous experi- ments have been carried on under the patronage of the Smithsonian in- stitution, Clark university and tho Carnegie institution of Washington. The war department recently grant, ed him use of land at Camp Devens. at Aver, Mass.
 Previous to receiving use of the government land, Dr. Goddard con- ducted his outdoor experiments near | Worcester and considerably alarmed the countryside last July by the de- tonation of a rocket he had sent up as a test. Although all experiments | have been shrouded in secrecy, it was said all his experiments so far have been with small sized rockets, none being more than six feet long.
 QUAKE FELT IN MONTANA Missoula Mont, July 10 P}-A slight earthquake was felt in west ern Montana last night. Reports of the movement came from Paradise, Haughan, St. Regis and Saltese.

screen presentation; this being no different than the troubles experi- enced by the scenario writers gen. rally. It would seem that every kind of situation has been nearly work ed to death" in screen presentation, the output being three or four com- pleted films week. The only pos abilities for originality are that old situations-some of them ex- ceedingly old-can be handled in an original manner.
 Hollywood, as is well known, is scared stiff over plagiarism suits. They have been as plentiful as lemons and oranges in California. They are expensive to fight, even though victory usually perches upon the brow of the defendants on the broad general principle that noth- ing in particular is original in that capital of the movie world.
 Because of this situation inde- pendent scenario writers no long CT have chance to horn in with brain toddlers. Envelopes, it is said are sent back unopened rather than to run the risk of being sued for plagiarism later, it being selt-eyi- dent, and deduced from experi- ence, that too many plots for the screen are alike and almost any stranger who ever submitted | scenario and got it back can later charge that it was not returned un- til the plot was stolen by the con- cern which opened the envelope 1 and ostensibly read 1t.

Paris, July 1O.-Looking directly across the broad expanse of the ave- nue Georges Gina from my hotel window is a five -storied stone apart ment building, splotched with those grey black sworls go peculiar 70 Paris Each floor has a veranda with iron railings the length of the structure.
 Each floor also has a TOW of ten windows with white double shutters. Early this morning there appeared on the third floor veranda a fel- low who wore the unmistakable bed ticking vest Of a houseman. He has utterly fascinated me for more than four hours.
 When he made his first appear arce he stood at the railing gazing down into the street. He remained in this attitude so long l looked down too to see what was going on, There was nothing unusual, but still he stood there for more than an holr. FinaTy he jiggled a shutter and stood off to appraise it.
 From then on for two hours he would turn from his rail gazing at intervals to jiggle various shutters along the building front. l finally determined he was just a shutter jiggler and tried to continue at my work, but it was impossible. lie charmed me like the snake charms the bird.
 l called my wife's attention 10 him and later she came in eXcitedly to announce: Heavens. he has a help err" Surely enough, another house man had joined him and at periods they would turn from the rail and jiegle various shutters, They finally got me 10 doing it.
 I found myself going around the room replacing the telephone sec, straightening pictures on the wall, smoothing out dressing table doilies and picking up match ends. At last I could stand it no longer and stood out on our balcony and tried to wave him away.
 He evidently thought I had he- come flirtatious. for every time l would wave he would wave back, and soon his helper was assisting him in the waving. So that IS why in my dire dilemma l have to Write ahout fool shutter iiggier instead 0. writing something interesting. I'll keep on until I get fired by cable.

THE PLAGIARISM RACKET

The public takes an interest in plagiarism suits for several reasons one being that 1t likes to see evi- dence presented that some bigwig in Hollywood is not as original as he or she might be; the other Is that all plagiarism suits run into big money, which makes enough noise to get into the papers.
 There is Harold Lloyd, for in stance, being sued for a cool million dollars on a charge of plagiarism. Naturally the defense rests largely upon the claim that the story is not original, and though the late H. C. Witwer might have written a story similar Tn makeup and build, his story, too, was not original. Lloyd. for instance, brought forth films of himself saved from the young days of the film industry is which identi- cal plots were followed.

PROTECTION IN ENGLAND

Passage of the Hawley Shoot tariff in the United States has given the British industrialsts a splendid op- portunity 10 push forward their ever recurring ganda for tariff wall around Britain, with prefer ences for the trade of British do- minions.
 With important newspapers bankers and industrialists demand ing rotsction-which in England masquerades under the name of safeguarding g'-there at least Is a fair possibility that the free trade policy may be abandoned in import ant particulars,
 The ia riff -mongers in Britain ob- viously contend that a tariff wall would keep out great deal Of cheap foreign goods including some of the products Of American mass production,
 . And they may be right about it. The only point at issue is what benefit. will come to the rank and : file m. England under such sys- i tenn.
 The idea that nation can only sell and not buy has not gone to such lengths in England as it has ins America. The tariff advocates m 1 London have a difficult time in win ming votes to their proposition, al together manifestly they are nearer their goal than ever before.
 But it is 10 be remembered that the Liberals. in the case of Con- servative victory in 2 general cleo tion, might themselves lose their power. A Conserative victory ot substantial qualities probably would put both the Liberals and the Laborites on back seats Lloyd George, it would seem, has little to gain by forcing q general election at an early date.
 That the Liberals at this time are unwilling 10 assist in upsetting the Labor government was shown yes terday in the vote on income taxes. Eleven Liberals abstained from vot- ing and. four sided. with the Labor government, netting a victory for the latter by three votes. It be- comes evident that the final show down will be postponed until fall.
