New Year Book.
Hugo Ryberg. formerly of New

liSh-an "American-Danish Almanac"
which he has edited during a sOjourn
in Copenhagen. Its most conspicuous
feature is a set of illustrations giving
an impression of Danish scenery and
architecture, while the only important
text part of the book is list of adj
dresses of all Danish organizations
throughout the United States. Gen
eral comment is that as source of
timely information concerning Danes
in America the volume does not quite
come up to expectations, especially
not when compared to "SalOmons AL

to no purpose. AS production was
reduced demand fell away correspond
ingly, prices kept on declining and we
were worse off than before.
Now at last we are beginning to real
ize that we must attack this problem
from a new angle. This depression Is
different in many ways from any other
depression We have experienced. This
is surplus" depression; business is
depressed because the public cannot
buy the huge quantities of goods in
duStry is equipped to produce. If the
market keeps falling away we must find
some way OF creating new demand.
Business observers and editors are be-
ginning to tell us that liquidation has
gone too far, that we cannot hope to
pull ourselves out of depression unless
we can create new purchasing power.
They are touching on fundamental
principle which has peculiar applica-
ton in the new circumstances Of our
present dilemma.
Unemployment Destroys Market.
One evil particularly Is destroying the
market for our products: Unemploy-
ment. The 100000 now out of work
represent lost buying power of at least
$500, ,000, 900 month or SO 800 900, 900
a year assuming that II they were en-
ployed they would receive average wages.
This means direct loss-allowing for
savings-in demand for industrial prod
ucts of nearly $4,000, 900, 900 year. but
psychologically this loss is immeasurably
increased, because even those who have
work are afraid to buy. They are put
ting away every possible penny for fear
they, too, may be thrown out of work.
If we could hit upon some plan to re-
create even portion of this lost buying
power and release that row held in re-
serve, it would be enough to give busi-
ness substantial impetus on the road
upward.
Widespread adoption of the five-day
week would give work to millions of
those now unemployed. If work hours
were universally reduced to IS a week,
jobs would be created for practically
all those now out Of work A 40-hour
week would employ a large part of
them.
To absorb these workers again into
creative work and give them back their
normal function Of producing and con-
suming would be a strong stimulant to
business. For 100000 wage and sal
aried workers at work earning income
for 35 hours a week will buy far more
than 100000 working a normal AZ
hour week, reduced somewhat by part
time and the weight of 5000, 900 unem-
ployed. Also the knowledge that men

and lunch counter industry has grown
enormously in recent years with the
increase in leisure time pleasure trips.
Each of these industries employs thou
sands of workers who In turn spend
their money for the products of other
industries, so that the effects OF in
creasing leisure pyramid up and create
new business all along the line.
Change Is Pressing.
The change to five-day week at once
is a pressing measure for business re-
covery. Recent reports show that un-
EMPLOYMENT Is again on the increase
Labor Department figures covering
4. 100000 workers show 10000 laid on
loss of S2400,000 a week in buying
power. Such an increase in unemploy-
ment is alarming at a season when en-
ulovment normally improves. The only
way we can check this rising tide Is by
dividing the available work among
those who want work. This Is buSl-
ness problem of the first magnitude. we
cannot afford to increase the army OF
UNEMPLOYED and cut our industries 10
still lower levels. That is the way 10

panic. l.,
The human side of this problem Is

aspects Millions of our citizens are
Threatened with slow starvation. Al
ready our hospitals are crowded with
Increasing cases of illness; under-nour-
ishment among children is growing rap

the first time in years; mental illnesses

numbers than ever; thousands OF chill

relief funds have not been adequate 10
supply even the minimum Tor nealtn

exhausted their funds and many others
expect relief money to be gone this
month or next. How can we provide Tor

lilies except by shortening work hours
and giving them work?
Among these unemployed are many

Have Right to Living.
These American men and women feel
that they have a right to earn an hon
est living. When they are deprived OF
work they are deprived Of the essentials
that keep body and soul together-food,
clothing, shelter. The right to WORK Is
an inalienable right, for it means the
right to live honestly and decently. Our
Constitution guarantees to all citizens
"the right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness. How can man
work?
Millions Of those now out Of work
have never before asked for charity
Charity organizations report that in re-
cent months 80 per cent Of those In
need had never before come for help.
Because they are independent and self
respecting citizens, many are unwilling
to ask for help even after they have
exhausted all resources and are destroy

Widespread Adoption of 5-Day Week Declared
Means of Supplying Work for Millions
Nov Unemployed

and women we're going back to work
would put courage into millions of
homes and change gloom to hope for
many millions of people. Hope is quick
ly translated into dollars and cents of
business, for a man who believes in the
future will buy what he needs now in
stead of putting his money aw; Y under
the mattress.
Would Increase Buyers.
Widespread introduction of the FIVE
day week would create buying power
and increase the number of buyers, but
its psychological effect would also re-
lease millions of dollars which are now
being held in reserve. Restoring conf
dence in the banks took over 5000, ,000,-
900 out of hiding in two months. Re-
storing mems confidence in their jobs
would release vastly more than this, for
a mans Job is the basis of his earning
power and his future income If re-
duction of work hours Is accompanied
by assurance that every possible effort
will be made to keep wage earners at
work. the psychological effect will be
multiplied many times.
President Hoover recently recon-
mended the five-day week to meet the
problems of Government employment
and declared the five-day week in GER
tain private industries a necessary
principle in the economic recovery of
the country. Beside giving business a
stimulus in this emergency, it makes
a necessary longtime adjustment of
work hours. Since machines have
shortened the work process throughout
industry in recent years, less work time
is needed to produce what the market
demands and millions would be perma-
nently unemployed If work hours were
not shortened. The unemployed have
nothing to spend and industries must
stop producing at such high capacity
that large-scale unemployment be-
comes permanent.

new industries in the United States

The principle of dividing work time
is not a new and untried remedy. Unions
have been using this measure to keep
their members at work in dull periods
for more than half century. En-
plovers have introduced it to prevent
layoffs. Hundreds of thousands Of union
members are now working short sched-
ules so that all may keep their jobs.
Employers find that 1t pays to keep
their work forces intact by shortening
hours. Assurance that all will have
work raises morale and lessons the anx
iety and nerve strain that impair the
quality of work. Shortening work hours
in general has the effect of improving

BACK TO LIBRARY.
$32.53 in Fines RENTED
Yesterday on Volumes
Held Overtime.

Books have been returning rapidly to
the Public Library during overdue"
book week, according to DR.. George F.
Bowerman, librarian.
A total of $32.53 in fines was re-
mitted yesterday on books and cards
and $6.77 in accumulated fines was
returned to borrowers in the circulation
division at the central building
In the technology division, $9.61 in
fines was RENTED against an average
of SIS or Sc on the ordinary Monday.
This benefit was shared by 70 people
One book returned had been taken
from the library so long ago that all
records had been withdrawn from the
catalogue. The art division reports books
left on the tables, and the return of
pictures regarded as a hopeless case.
The conscience box" collected eight
books during the day yesterday, and
one book found its way back during the
night.
Branch librarians report a steady
flow of overdue books few of which,
however, have been held out over a
long period.
Washingtonians holding library books
are urged to bring in to the library
any which may be overdue to take
advantage of the remission of fines ar
ranged for their benefit through Satur-
day, June Is, and to help others by
making the books now in their pos
session available for further use.
