May BE an IntrOvert
The person Of average Schizo-
thymic temperament shows a
tendency to be independent Of
others: that is to say he tends
to be an "introvert" rather than
an "extrovert" Gin the sense of
Jung). He does not vibrate in
sympathy with his surround
ings; he likes to be alone rather
than with other people. But if
he remain healthy, he may do
excellent work: many great
scholars, rulers and ariStocratS
have been asthenics Of Schizo-
thymic temperament. So writes
a medical author.

her cocktail glass up against
the light.
"see America first" said
Jenny, and gulped hers down.
1t was the kind of patter
for which Gerkes had little re-
tort. Persiflage, the shifting
word at any price, chic sophis-
tication for the average truiSm,
tea-table and round-table cali
ber of profundities, disarmed
and bewildered him. He was
at his worst. The descent to
the dining room through the
aisles of tapestries was made
goose-step. Gerkes, who was
never ill at ease, only silent
where it seemed the better part
of wisdom, plowed solemnly
through the high-napped rugs.
Not even port wine or cham
pagne-cup, made by Jenny at
table in a frosted silver pitcher
over a melange of fresh, whole
cling-stone peaches and black
cherries, could succeed in draw
ing him out Of the slough Of
amiable silence into which the
occasion had thus far sub
merged him.

NATIONWIDE
Hosiery Mill Strike is Likely

Reading, Pa. (ILNS)-If the full
fashioned workers in Reading and
vicinity respond manfully and in suf-
ficient numbers to the strike call set
for August "a for all mills in this
area, a general strike of all full fash
ioned workers in the country will be
called if need be to enable the Read
ing market to become organized.
This declaration was made to big
mass meeting of workers held in city
park here. Virtually all the ranking
officers of the American Federation
of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers
were present and pledged themselves
to do all in their power to hold out
all unionized workers in the trade in
all parts of the county after Septem-
Der l when the national agreement
expires, if that would be helpful.
A general strike in the industry
would affect at least. $4,000 workers
in New York, New Jersey, New Eng
land, Wisconsin, Indiana and Penn
sylvania.
Local manufacturers are plainly
worried as the campaign is arousing
greater interest among the employees
than had been considered possible un-
der the circumstances now obtaining
here.

HOOVER TO HAVE
AID PROGRAM AS
CONGRESS MEETS
Senator Fess Announces
Concrete Plan Will Be
ReadyPresident Confers
With Heads of Relief
Organizations.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)--De-
claring that the federal government
must and will" take strong steps
to prevent starvation during the COM
ing winter, Senator Simeon D. Fess,
chairman of the republican national
committee, announced here that the
administration will have concrete
program for relief of the unemploy-
ment situation when congress meets.
The emphasis must always be on
local responsibility and on voluntary
action whenever possible, Senator
Fess said He added:
"We shall use every means to avoid
dole in this country would be a catas
trophe."
Quick Action Needed
"The problem must be met within
the next few months. The govern
ment must be ready to act as soon as
congress meets, so that the neces-
sary legislation may be enacted
quickly and the machinery put into
operation. No one can say right now
what that machinery will be, but the
administration is devoting the major
part of its attention to studies of
various plans"
Senator Fess' announcement fol-
lowed a conference with President
Hoover, who is studying the unem-
ployment relief problem and who has
Leen comforting with leaders of per-
manent and emergency organizations
in the last ten days. Unifcation of
the relief program has been accepted
as the keynote of next winters ac-
tivities.
Action on National Scale
The presidents emergency commit
tee on employment, which includes la
Dor representation, the Red Cross, the
Association of Community Chests and
the Family Welfare Association of
America, are among the organiza
tions whose leaders have conferred
with the president in an endeavor to
work out a co-ordinated relief pro-
gram. Relief plans sponsored by the
administration call for action on a
national scale, but are based funda
mentally on community action.
At present survey of the situa-
tion is being made to determine the
extent of the problem and the prob
able need for relief. When the survey
is finished, concrete plans will be de-
cided on.
Special Session Asked
Developments in the unemployment
relief situation include demand by
Senator Blaine, of Wisconsin, for a
special session of congress in Sep
tember to provide aid, a report by the
presidents emergency committee for
employment showing little change in
the low level of employment and a
reiteration of the declaration of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor of organized la
bors purpose to stand unflinchingly
against wage reductions.

Fire Insurance Beginning

Fire insurance may be said to date
from the Great Fire Of London, in
1865. Several companies were formed
during the remainder of the Seven

OF the Eighteenth century, some Of
which still exist In the United States,
the first fire insurance company to be
established was the Philadelphia Con-
tributionship, which was organized on
April 13, 1852. This company was pat

The charges against him came
after series of Investigations,
started here by Samuel Seabury, on
authority of Governor Roosevelt.
Already Seabury has been ordered
to investigate the official conduct
Of District Attorney Thomas G. T.
Grain, Tanmany ally of Walker.
Misfeasance Is Charged
The specific events which led to
the demand of the city affairs
committee for an investigation
came out of Seabury's inquiry into
the magistrates courts.
At that investigation evidence was
adduced designed to show that po-
licemen had framed women on vice
charges and extorted money from
them.
The murder of Vivian Gordon,
described as an expert racketeer,"
just when she was preparing to tes-
tify before the Seabury investiga-
ton, also accelerated demands for
the inquiry.
subsequently oC4llbd P4SCllO41,
Miss Gordon's daughter by mar
riage that was dissolved by divorce,
committed suicide because of the
notoriety surrounding her mothers
name.
The charges alleged misfeasance
and said Walker had failed prop
erly to administer the government
of the CITY,"
"City in Disrepute"
He has ignored conditions OF
ineflciency and corruption. and if
under public pressure he has mi
tiated Investigations he has allowed
SUI 4 Investigations to lapse with
out report or result" the charges
say.
He has appointed unworthy men
to DIT bic Office and Fept in Office
unworthy men subject by law to
his removal. His conduct of the
Office Of mayor since he took Office
on Jan. /, 1880, has been incompe-
tent, inefficient and futile with the
result that the local machinery Oh
government has failed to function
properly and the administration OF
the city has been brought into dis
/ repute."
