U. s. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROUND
 TABLE SESSION
Discussion of Present EcO- homie Ills and Various Remedies Were Under Discussion

Atlantic City. N. J., April 29.- | (UP)--The U. $. Chamber of Com
 merce delVed into the ills of the present economic system to-day ano
 considered various proposed reme-
 dies at q series of round table dis
 cussions by business and industrial leaders.
 Unemployment insurance, revision of the antitrust laws to meet the ltrend toward mergers and consolida- Ition and to overcome the ills of loverproduction, especially in the oil,
 coal and lumber industries. and the
 growing financial burdens of state and local taxation were among the subjects considered.
 Unemployment insurance was credited as having some benefits for certain types of employers, but It's efficacy as a cure-all for the unem- ployment problem was questioned in discussions by Leroy A. Lincoln. vice president. Metropolitan Life In- surance company, and r. Tecumsen Sherman. New York attorney. Actual experience" Lincoln said, "has demonstrated that unemploy- ment insurance, as insurance. fails far short of accomplishing what its most enthusiastic advocates claim for it.
 "on the other hand. 1t has not not as yet been proven that 1t is m entirely impractical coverage.
 "Insurance, in itself. cannot, how ever. furnish the major solution for the general problems of unempioy- ment.
 "Experience has SO far indicated that insurance can be properly used in the case of persons who are nor mally In employment for protection R,.AV nloyment. and, for n limited period. from cyclical and technical unem- ployment."
 Roth Lincoln and sherman ques- tioned the wisdom of state unem- ployment insurance. ,
 The state has a function in devei- opment of plans for unemploymc"t relief. but they lie rather in the me of education and information anu lguidance. Lincoln said.
 .'Though the present crisis caiis sor emergency measures for the re- lief of distress and for immediate study of ways and means to prevent recurrances of like distress.

THE LAND LAWS
 OVER IN SCOTLAND
Native Population Find It Impossible to Live in
 the Homeland
LEAVING FOR CANADA

Although Scotland is not over populated. 6 great effort Is being made to induce families to leave that country and locate in Canada. Over 300 families have left there and gone to farms in New Brunswick.
 A standing advertisement in the Galloway News reads as follows: "A limited number of agricultural famt- lies are now being selected for i'm proved farms in settled districts in the province of New Brunswick. families already satisfactorily set- tied. Splendid opportunity for ex- perienced married farm workers. who are industrious, thrifty and not afraid of hard work. Reduced pas- sage rates for adults. Free passage for children under IS years.'
 So far as can be learned at this distance, the movement is not pop ular. Some of the native population are asking why they should be ob- liged to leave the home land, where there is so much vacant land and try their luck in 8 strange country.
 Like most men who have discussed the land question, notably Stern in Germany, Labor !n Ireland and econo- mists in other nations. the Scotch take the ground that tho land of a country belongs to the people and that use of 1t never should be more than what was necessary for the expense incident to the proper reg ulation of the government. Those who advocated this policy argued that 1t was the only plan on which there could be a prosperous and contented peasantry. People who acquired wealth were expected to | get 1t in some other line of endeavor than putting price on land which created condition that impoverished d tillers of the soil. drove them into the cities thereby causing crowdine | which resulted in reduction of wages and the lowering of living standards It Is a wonder Great Britain, after its experience with landlords ir
 Ireland does not force those who have immense tracts of land to get along on Q little less and give the balance to the masses at q price which would enable them to get q decent living out of 1t. But 1t is still the old evil mentioned years ago by Goldsmith:
 "Once only master grasps the whole domain,
 And half n tillage stints the smil- ing plain"
 Some day Great Britain will be saying of the Scotch, what q great military officer said of the Irish. Cursed be the laws that deprived me of such citizens"

art among American housewives,
according to the findings Of a

In large part this tendency is
seen. as. reflecting the rising
standards of American living.

to a growth in favor of more ex-

Spahlinger's method has already

strong is the belief in its merits
that a powerful syndicate has
been formed to put it on a CONF

The EngliShmen concerned are

and DR.. Andrews, the expert Of
the ministry Of agriculture: -;
The other principal method Of :
immunization is by what is called
the B. G. G. vaccine, or Calmette- :

Delighted With REM
"WouIdn't use any,
thing else for coughs"

The Miller family of 1852 Lafay-
cite Ave., St. Louis, knows exact
ly what to do when coughs-and
colds come their way. "We've
used REM for many years, says
Mrs. Charles H. Miller, my hus-
band, my daughter Geraldine,
and |. We wouldn't use anything
else for cough. My hus bands
out-of-doors a great deal, and
Geraldine, too, is especially sub
ject to coughs in winter. REM's
always relieved all of us right
away and it doesn't taste bad
either. If there's a tickling in the
throat, REM stops that, too"
More than 10 million bottles of
REM have been sold under an
absolute money back" guarantee
yet not one customer in a
thousand ever wanted it back!

Three interesting oil filter
tests by C. w. Mckinley, re-

as one teaspoonfu1 of abrasive
material in every 1900 miles
Of driving; that wear with un-

than with filtered oil, and that
in 10000 miles, driving the oil
filter removed more than two
pounds of dirt, sludge and

CROSSING AIDES
ARE URGED !.

Adoption of legislative pro
gram, providir g for the gradual
elimination of railroad grade
crossings and the installation of
protective equipment, at crossings
which cannot be abolished, IS to
be urged by the American Mo.
SOrists Association before the
State legislatures, 43 Of whicn
meet this coming January. The
statement urging the plans says:
"The authority for such State
legislation has recently Eeen
clarified by the United States
Supreme Court, holding that a
State may compel a railroad
not, only to build overhead
grade crossings, but may spe-
city how such crossings are to
be constructed with regard to
Vehicular safety. Validity of
such legislation has heretofore
been challenged in many cases
by the railroads on the ground
that such legislation is an in
reference with interstate COM
merce."
The A. M. A., through it's af'
filiated clubs, will urge before
the State legislatures the adop'
ton of necessary legislation with
the end in view of gradually
eliminating grade crossings, first
over the Federal-aid highway Sys
tenn and eventually on the States
main highway systems.
Any successful program, for
grade crossings eliminations, it
is declared, must be financed
