branch on which were several wide
open burrs and out fell the brown nuts
and ratified down through the leaves
to the ground all around Happy Jack
Squirrel, who was just starting to
climb the tree. He didn't keep on
climbing. No, indeed. Without so much
as a look up to see what had made
those brown nuts fall, Happy Jack
scampered after them. You see, he
was afraid that If he left them lying
there his cousin Chatterer, or his 9TH
er cousin, little Striped Chipmunk,
would come along and find them. SO
Happy Jack scurried about hunting for
those brown nuts the Merry Little
Breeze had shaken down, and when
he found them he hurried to hide
them.
The other Merry Little Breezes saw
right away what the first Merry Little
Breeze meant by way In which to
help the squirrel cousins. They would
just shake the brown nuts down and
save Happy Jack and Chatterer the
trouble of climbing the tall trees to
gather the nuts. 1t would not only
save them trouble and real work but
also be great deal of fun. They
always did like to shake trees, and
now 1t would be more fun than ever.
because 1t would really and truly be
helping others So each one hastened
to shake branch, and the brown nuts
fell and ratified down like raindrops.
Now Chatterer, the Red Squirrel,
had been passing on his way to a
hickory tree, but when he heard those
brown nuts rattling among the leaves
on the ground, he came hurrying over
TO see what 1t meant, and his bright
eyes sparkled as he saw so many nuts
on the ground just waiting to be
picked up and carried away. He
darted forward to All his cheeks with
them, only to have Happy Jack thu
Gray Squirrel rush at him angrily.
Those are my nuts!" shouted Hap
py Jack, and his voice was very harsh
and angry.
"They are not - screamed Chatterer.

they have been picked up. have just

Jack ground his long sharp teeth in
a way not at all pleasant to hear. The
Merry Little Breezes stopped shaking
the branches of the tall chestnut tree
and looked down In dismay. 1t seemed
to them there were trees enough for

so greedy that they were quarreling

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
BILLS FINAL HEARING

/ The representative of the opponents
of unemployment insurance favored
the relief of distress caused by un-
employment through public and pri-
vate charity. The answer was that
public and private charity has failed
to take care of the present distress
caused by unemployment Last year
the various community funds through
out the entire United States totaled
two hundred and fifty million dollars,
while the Ohio bill for unemployment
insurance would have raised one hun
dred million dollars for the Ohio fund
by 1929 if it had been put into effect
in 1928
1t has been quite generally con-
ceded by those listening to the argu-
ments for and against the legislation
at the several hearings held upon the
bills, that the advocates of the legis-
lation had presented the better argu-
ments The arguments of the oppon-
ents have been those of fear, commu-
nism, bureaucracy, injury to Ohio in
dustry and politics entering into the
administration Of the law.
Both bills are now in the hands of
the respective committees of the house
and senate, and it is hoped that they
will have the courage and foresight
to report them favorably for pass
age. Every workingman and woman
in Ohio, and every organization of
labor in our state, if they desire the
enactment of this legislation, must
make known their desire in an ener-
getic manner to their senators and
representatives if the bills are going
to be reported by the committee and
finally enacted into Legislation.
The opposition is powerful and will
make every endeavor to prevent the
bills from being reported or voted
upon by the present session of the
general assembly of Ohio In view of
the last position of Governor White
en- this legislation, and in view of the
declaration of the national democratic
party platform favoring unemploy
ment insurance by the states, there
can be absolutely no excuse for any
democratic member of the Legislature
refusing to vote for either Senate
Bill No. as or House Bill No. 172

MRS ROOSEVELT
Urges Laws to Limit Work.

New York City ULNS)-Wo Workers
have taken cut after cut in theiI
wages and have shared their work
until many have fallen below what
standard for healthful living" Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt writes in the
March Scribner's magazine in an in
PRODUCTION to an article by Josephine
Goldmark.
''If the future of our country is to
be safe" Mrs. Roosevelt adds, "and
the next generation is to grow up into
healthy and good citizens, it is abso-
lutely necessary to protect the health
of our workers now and at all times"
Emphasizing the need for decreas-
ing work periods, Mrs Roosevelt
says:
Limiting the number of working
hours by law has a twofold result. 1t
spreads the employment, thereby
giving more work, and it protects the
health of the workers. Instead of
keeping few people working great
many hours and even asking them to
share their work with others by work
ing fewer days, it limits all work to
reasonable number of hours and
makes it necessary to employ the
number of people required to cover
the work"
Mrs. Roosevelt expresses the opin-
ion that it will be necessary to regu-
late wages by law, to prevent starva-
ton rates of pay.
