Doubts Job Insurance

There is grave doubt whether the
risk of unemployment is suitable
hazard for actuarially sound insur-
ance, Professor H. L. Rietz, Univer-
sity of Iowa mathematician, told the
American Association for the Ad-
vsncement of Science today.
Schemes for unemployment inSur-
ance that involve governmental sub
sides or governmental participation
would have to be undertaken at
present practically in the dark so far
as appropriate actuarial estimates
are concerned, Professor Rietz said.
Experimental plans, whether fos-
tered by trade unions, joint agree
ments, companies, or other agencies
should be encouraged, Professor
Rietz said, to keep records appropri-
ate for making calculations of rates
of unemployment, so estimates of
future costs may be improved over
those of the past.

shorten hours of labor is held by
Senator Norris, dean of the senate
progressives.
The bill provides that no goods
manufactured in violation of the
five-day week, six-hour day, may be

Senator Black is hopeful that or

the hearings, while correspondence
reaching him already has indicated
that his proposal will be backed by
some manufacturers.
The Black suggestion is not a
share the-work" bill, but an effort
to regulate all hours of labor in in
dustrial establishments so that in
dustry as a whole may be placed on
a shorter week, with no reduction in
the standard of wages and living
normally prevailing.

Music Began With Flute

Music as fine art began in pre-
historic times when a primitive man

physicist, told the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science today
Primitive man discovered most
casually that sound can be obtained
from a piece of bamboo, and various
sounds from longer or shorter
pieces" Or. Miller said. by fasten-
ing together several pipes of diff
ferent lengths, he was provided with
an instrument on which he could
sound several different tones in
such order as would give him
pleasure, and there came into exist
euce the first real musical inStru-
rnent. flute, now called by the
poetic name, the Pipes of Pan.
~Another primitive discovery was
that a simple pipe accidentally hav-
ing hole in the side of the tube
would produce two tones, depending
on whether the hole is open or
closed, and that the pitch of the
tone depends upon the location of
the hole. The musician inventor
made several holes in his flute
located to suit the spread and con-
vanient use of his fingers. Some
players used two fingers of each
hand, some used three, and conse-
quently several different scales orig
mated.
@The ear became accustomed to
the sequence of tones and it SO
worked into the brain of the race
that ages afterward it had become

Garner, Says Economist.
By United Press
CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-Professor
r. S. Merriam of Harvard university
Wednesday attacked unemployment
insurance as impracticable and like
ly to create a burden on the wage
Garner.
The noted economist, addressing
the convention of the American
Economics Association, meeting
here, declared unemployment is no
more insurable than business fail
ure is inSurable"
Should reserves be built up even
in part from an employers levy.
the burden eventually would be
transferred to the wage Garner"
Merriam said.
He did not believe that a system
of insurance built on IAN exhaustible
reserve system" could stimulate a
revival of business confidence. The
theory is untenable because en-
ployers will shift their share of the
tax to workers" he said, and the
purchasing power of the people will
not be increased.
