And the bigger and stronger

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

The worst woman on earth
will hesitate to lie to the man
she loves. But the best of men
will lie to the woman he loves,
sooner than to anybody else on
earth.
Simply because it is easier to
lie to a woman than to tell her
that you no longer love her, or
that you never did love her, or
that you've lost all your money
in a foolish deal or that you
forgot to mail her letter or left
your umbrella at the office or
took the new stenographer out
to lunch.

The plans for the new buildings of the Soldiers Home in Rocky Hill, assigned to Douglas Orr, New Haven architect yesterday by the Veterans Building commission calls for the barrack buildings to accommodate 750 veterans. This will be two stories in height and will contain not more than B. 25O.06O cubic feet. The adminis- tration building will be the same height and will contain not more than 175,000 cubic feet.
 The infirmary will be three stor- les high with a fully developed basement which will have a cubic content of not more than 1.25O,0Oo cubic feet. This building is de- signed for such cases as may be considered chronic or for emer- gency cases. Critical cases of sick ness will be sent to the United States Veterans hospital at New ington.
 to orr yesterday was announced bv Attorney Benedict M. Holden of Hartford, chairman Of the vet erans' commission, following a meeting of the commission at the State Office building in Hartford.
 Other prizes were awarded yes- terday to state architects after special jury of award had judged the drawings submitted in the com petition and had made their selec- tions of the competition. The awards were made on the basis of the best plot plans submitted, the details and design of construction of the building and the layout of the floor plans. ~
 It was necessary to submit only sketches of three buildings, ad- ministration building, infirmary and the barracks which will include a mess hall and kitchen. But the architects were also required to locate on the site the other build ings which will be needed as a part of the soldiers home group. These buildings will include a power house, nurses home,' garage, laundry and a few staff buildings and possibly other build ings depending on the appropria- tion made by the next Legislature.
 The barracks buildings, infirm- ary and administration buildings will be built of brick in a rather free Interpretation of the Colonial style of architecture.
 Monday the jury appointed to judge the plans, met and studied the drawings and compared them with the site in Rocky Hill. This site is located between Elm and BIO acres. It was sold to the State by the Hartford Retreat which had several years ago bought 1t

WATCH FOR THE LABEL

Do you always remember to look
for the union label on the things you
buy? Do you always bear in mind
the fact that by dealing with those
who sell the product of union labor
you are helping to keep up the living
standard, and advance it, of some one
just like yourself Or do you think
that what you do individually has no
effect on others? The buying power
Of organized labor alone is enormous
and if directed in the right channel
would have a far-reaching effect in
the economic life of our nation. This
power, and it should be made a power
for good, is useless if not applied by
each and every member of organized
labor. BY creating a demand for the
products of the other man you are
laying the foundation for the demand
of your own. Make it a habit to ask
for union-made goods. Remember!

Milk Records IN Wales

gled idea in Wales. 1t was carried on
In the principality before the Tenth
century The farmers Of Wales used
to migrate to the hills In summer
time. They used to put the milk of
their cows In common churn, and
they had to keep record OF 1t In
order to divide the produce of butter
and cheese satisfactorily. The cows
were turned into untouched pasture
and their milk yields measured-not
weighed as Is the practice today-and
the produce Of butter and cheese was
handed over according to what each
COW had yielded on any particular day.
"The record was In accordance with
what was known as the venedotian
measure, a vessel which was three
thumbs across the bottom, six thumbs

studies reveal situations of severe un-
employment. For example, extreme
employment fluctuations were found
in the radio industry. In eight plants
making receiving sets in 1929, more
than $500 women were at work in
the peak season and less than $500
only four months later, indicating a
layoff of some 70 per cent.
"A situation similar in character
though less extreme has been shown
in a study now in press of the
slaughtering and meat-packing indus
try. A study of women in the cigar
and tobacco industry shows that many
women have lost their jobs in the last
ten years largely because Of the in
PRODUCTION of machinery and changes
in organization.
Similar wide fluctuations in the
employment of men have been OBJ

"Only some regulation of industry
will prevent swings in employment

does not necessarily mean govern

lation by industry itself, with OF

NATIONWIDE JOB CAMPAIGN

The nationwide campaign of the
American Legion and cooperating
organizations, including the American
Federation of Labor, to find work for
100000 unemployed wage earners
is one of the most important moves
yet made to hasten economic recov-
cry. Results have already been OBJ
tanned by the campaign, which is be-
ing pushed with determination and
the will to win.
Strategy of the campaign is being
centered on large corporations, many
of which, it is contended, can we'll
afford to increase the number of their
employees 10 per cent out of surplus.
Others, with diminished surplus, can
make 10 per cent increase in the
number of men employed by a spread
of work, it is held. Undoubtedly many
big corporations can take on workers
if they will. The Legion and the
other organizations in the campaign
are out to make them see that they
must.
Success of the campaign should be
big step in the restoration of public
confidence and buying power. Men
put to work will have money for the
purchase of goods, payment of bills
and other expenditures which will
again set in motion the wheels OF
industry.

THREE MILLION
Children Out of School;
Many Compete for Work

Washington. - Around 100000
boys and girls under II years were
out of school during the academic
year 1929-30. Many of them were
exploited by unscrupulous employers
who, despite the army of millions of
adult workers, were so devoid of or
dinary decency and patriotism that
they eagerly sought out boys and
girls of tender age because the chill
dren would work for smaller wages
than adults.
These are the outstanding condi-
tions among children, according to a
statement by Mrs. Clara M. Boyer,
director of the industrial division of
the Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor
Leave School to Support Family
Of the total of 100000 children,
nearly 100000 had been in school
but were compelled to leave because
OF the financial inability OF their pa
rents to pay the expenses of school
attendance.
"In past studies of unemployment
and child welfare" Mrs. Boyer said,
"there comes to light over and over
again the tragic paradox of children
leaving school for work to exc out
the family income when the normal
wage earners cannot find work of any
kind.
"The same thing is happening in
this depression. In September and
October of the past year, 5,549 boys
and girls of IA and Is took out their
first working papers in New York
city alone. In Philadelphia the cor
responding figure for September was
l1,182."

DESIGNATING A FUNERAL

Civilized man has come to regard
funeral as ceremony which is
inviolate. We may strive, wrangle
and push our way about over the
living, but not over the dead. The
close of life demands respect, both
for those who are gone and for those
who grieve.
Judged by this standard-the ac-
cepted standard-the war which is
now going on at Chicago over the
management of funerals outrages de-
cency and human instincts. 1t is typ
ical of the jungle rather than of civ
ilization.
A livery car chauffeur's union
started the trouble by decreeing that
only cars with union drivers could par
ticipate in funeral professions. Own
ers were forbidden to drive their own
automobiles. The union drivers said
this was to relieve unemployment
which it might do to some extent
and as safety measure, which is
foolish. This union demand will ap-
peal to most people as preposterous.

Employers Turn Children Into Profit

Although considerable Improvement
has been made during the past ten
years in the percentage of young en-
ployed workers, Mrs. Beyer's report
points out that, despite the extension
of child labor laws and public opin-
ion opposed to child labor exploita-
tion, many employers persist in turn
ing children into profits.
again and again during the dec
ade," Mrs. Boyer says, 1--WE have been
assured that industry no longer
wants the Ia and 15-year-old child.
Public and private child welfare
agencies have broadcast the idea that
Ia is too early for children to go to
work, that the difficult years Of ado
lescence should not be further bur-
dened by the physical strain of
employment.
"Yet the 1880 census shows for the
18 states and the District of Colum-
bia for which figures are available, a
total of 1O2,503 children ID and 10
years of age at work, decrease of
% per cent as compared with 1920
figures. The number of employed
children between 16 and II years of
age was 231,322, or per cent less
than in 1920. The children between
10 and Ia years of age in these states
| (75,649), who, of course, should not
be at work at all, have, it is true,
decreased AZ per cent"

PLANNING THE REMEDY

The following editorial is taken
from the Waterbury, Conn, Repub-
lican:
at seems to be becoming more and
more self-evident that only economic
planning or regulation will balance
production and consumption and pre-
vent the great changes in employ
ment which cause so much distress
and suffering. That this is fast be-
ing recognized is indicated by the
growth of sentiment in favor of plan
ming of one kind or another.
Recent studies of the United States
Women's Bureau in various manufac-
turing industries show clearly the
need for economic balance. The
