United States Senator Frederic c. walcott of Norfolk, Coma, spoke last night on the MIRA program in Pythian hall before the members { of Roosevelt lodge. He cited dan gers in the program in the power given the large businesss to shut out the small fellows, in the min imum wage provisions which may result in making minimum wages the maximum ones and in the ex- cessive number of strikes resulting from such q situation. He, also claimed that the REC is, beginning to be loosely managed and declared that its power must be curtailed.
 However, Senator walcott stated, this situation will be taken care of in due course of time. He said the crossroads are now in the of fing. He urged everybody to sup port the presidents recovery plan. Speaking of the national debt. he said that it was 26 billions in 1919 and was reduced to a little over 16 billions in 1929. This is without considering the II billions owed us by European, countries.

For Quick Relief Say BAYER Aspirin" When You Buy

Here is quicker relief from pain-the fastest safe relief. it is said. ever known. This is due to a scientific discovery by which BAYER Aspirin starts taking hold" of pain a few minutes after taking.
 The illustration of the glass here tells the story. A Bayer tablet starts to disintegrate or dissolve-go to work --almost instantly. This means quick relief from pain-fewer lost hours from headache. neuritis. rheumatism. And safe relief. For genuine Bayer Aspirin does not harm the heart.
 When you buy, see that you get the genuine Bayer Aspirin. The best way is never to ask for aspirin by the name aspirin" alone. But if you want Bayer Aspirin's quick re!ief always to say PAYER Aspirin"

It was physically impossible to make

Careers of Old Age Pensioners
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN,

That old-age pensioners in the United
States had earned their salt before be-
constng dependent on the State was
established by Government investigators
in the course of a study made Of 3,315
typical cases. 1t was the purpose OF
the fn7z.ry to determine whether the
type OF persons admitted to institu-
tions or given public allowances were
what might be called professional in
digents or merely the victims of ad-
verse conditions n old age. It was
found that, of the men. only one-tenth
OF per cent had never been gainfully
employed before becoming public
charges.
The inquiry developed that 829 per
cent OF the whole number had been
wage earners or had been paid salaries
for useful work. Among the women
enumerated, 1915 per cent had been
wage earners or salaried employees. OF
the men II per cent and Of the women
Ills per cent had carried on their own
independent business or occupation. OF
the women 48.9 per cent had been
housewives.
The cases were selected with the idea
OF presenting a cross section Of various
occupations and industries. Farmers,
dairymen, and lumbermen were in
cluded as well as factory and other ur-
ban workers. The information was
obtained by having applicants for pen
sion relief explain on a QUESTIONABLE
what their previous occupations had
been. Odd jobs were not counted, but
only the regular occupation usually re-
lied upon as a means Of support. Also,
1t was asked how long since the appli-
cant had had a Job.
II uaS found tbof four 6fths ~ the
men and two-flfths of the women had
been employed by others on a wage or
salary basis. One-Sixth Of the men and
one-ninth Of the women were inde-
pendent workers. Nearly half of the
women never had had paid employment,
having worked only as housewives.
Miscellany Of Occupations.
To make the picture a complete one,
those who were self-employed were in
cluded. Many were keepers of small
known much better times. Included in
the list was a former proprietor Of a
printing establishment, a jeweler, a
druggist, a motion picture proprietor,
and the owner Of racing stable. Among
the independently employed women
were seamstresses who did their work in
their own homes, but relied upon their
needles for support.
The general purpose Of the study
was TO attempt to determine whether
there is any kind of occupation which
seems to lead to indigence in old age
and the need Of a State pension. So
miscellaneous is the list Of occupations
that 1t is doubtful whether any very
accurate conclusion can be drawn.
One fact which stands out is that
skilled workers who applied for old-age
pensions outnumbered the unskilled or
semi-skilled For one representative
district it was found that 3O5 per cent
Of all pensioners were skilled in some
industrial or commercial occupation,
while only 20 per cent were classed as

saying that 1t Is to undertake q re-
distribution Of the national income. II
10 to bring 1t about that farmers shall
have more Of that national income and
that non farmers thall have less. The
consequences Of that principle will pres
emily become apparent In another vital
field.
Representatives Of industrial labor in
Warrington are already declaring that
II the Government can fix the fairness
OF the division Of national income be-
tween farmers and non-farmers 1t can
also nx-and Is in duty bound to fix
the division Of national income between
capital and labor, between employers
and employees. Schemes toward that
end will be prevalent In the Congress in
the near future.
There should also be mentioned the
the number Of "commissions" and OF
tute for them q series Of individual
directors" within the 10 grand execu-
tive departments headed by 10 indi-
vidual cabinet members. This move
toward strong centralized authority
seems to scme ''progressives" to be
"reactionary" and seems to some con-
servatives" to be radical. It may be
taken as q symbol Of the degree to
which the new deal stands forth in
defiance Of the old labels.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in all his msGures,
would seem to be strong government
man. The economy bill. the emergency
banking bill, the employment Of the
unemployed in public forests. the re-
apportionment by statute Of the national
income, the numerous other ideas which
since March I have emanated fr1m the
White House or from its environs, are,
all Of them, whether conservative or
progressive" conceived in the spirit
and with the hope of strengthening the
central Government for the purpose Of
enabling 1t to cope with the Nations
problems as the embodiment and agent
Of the Nations unity.
The new deal" is a new nationalism.
Its nature on this point was antici-
pated by the late Senator Thomas j.
Walsh Of Montana In a delightful witt
cism which he uttered some five or six
years ago at q Washington dinner party
where he was an honored and loved
guest. Around the table there were the
questions:
What is q Republican, What is a
Democrat7
Senator Walsh addressed himself to
the question, What Is a Democrat? He
succinctly said:
"A Democrat Is q man who gets into
ONCE en- Jenersonian principles-and
sometimes stays there on Hamiltonian
ones"
Like all witticisms, Senator Walshs
was q slight distortion Of reality; but
among the griefs which attend his going
there ID certainly the minor one Of our
present inability to request him to re-
peat his definition Of q Democrat to the
present jest-loving occupant OF the
presidential mansion.

ligious conviction. As we look back over
the way by which we have come most
Of us note it, irregularities, its uncer-
tsinties, it, many changes and vicissi-
tudes. Few Of VI fix the course Of life
In early days and follow 1t without
deviation to the end.
DR.. Wilfred Grenfell, one Of the most
commanding figures Of our time. has
told US that up to the time he came In
touch with the great Evangelist Moody
his way was uncertain and irregular
was, that he was fulfilling the high pur-
pose of his life in his noble profession,
but once he had fallen under the spell
Of Moody he became clearly conscious
that his way was not straight, that his
course was not plain and that his OBJ
jective was far from certain. Like Saul
on the way to Damascus, he saw a light
shining round about him and q voice
speaking TO him In no uncertain tones
telling him what was to be the future
course and purpose Of his life. It may
seem strange to us that this gifted man
was directed by Q straight road to the
lonely coasts Of Labrador. but when we
have heard him tell the story Of the
Joy and satisfaction he found In what
men would call sterile fleld Of service,
We realize that he, too, like Saul Of old,
entered into the street which u called
'straisht.'
What confusion, embarrassment and
disorder we see about Us In the world
todayl Young and old alike seem to
be prosecuting, without de1lniteness or
assurance, any and every way that
seems to offer opportunities for So
called world satisfaction. There seems
to be Q lack Of desire to follow the
straight way, and the result universally
ID confusion worse confounded." Un-
doubtedly 1t takes something more than
. self-satisfying aim to give continuing
direction and Inspiration Of life. We
have known men Who by the worlds
judgment were failures, in that they had
amassed no fortune, created nothing in
the way Of Q material fabric, and yet
In the light Of real accomplishment for
the good Of humanity and the enrich
ment Of their time they were entitled
to Q place Of the highest distinction.
They had caught the vision OF great
ideal and had flung their lives into 1t.
They had moved on In the face Of every
dimculty toward the great objective.
and We doubt not they heard at the
end Of the way the voice Of the Divine
Master, saying: well done, good and

skilled, accounted for only 63 per cent
Of all the men.
Also. it appears, the rural pursuits
showed fewer men reaching a point of
Indulgence at which old-age peucior:
were granted. Only six-tenths Of pw
cent were classified as agricultural
workers, and these included forestry
and fisheries.
Inc hgures for women show a reverse
situation, the uEskilled accounting for
o.z per cent Of those who formerly had
oeen employed in industrial and com
mercial occupations, while only Is per

The professions were decidedly in the
minority for both men and women. the
suggestion being present that doctors.
lawyers, architects and the like are
more likely to amass a suficient compe-
tence TO care for their. old age without
recourse to the state. One of the

Depresnions Leading Cause.
Among women, the largest single
group was formed Of those who had
peen seamstresses, working independ-
entity There were comparatively few
former boarding house keepers. but A
great many who had been employed for
others IN domestic service. There was
quite liberal number Of laundresses
The professions were represented by
actresses, artists, librarians, music
teachers and school teachers, but sur
prisingly few in proportion to those who
had been in other types of work.
kn srD- .I-
signed to show how long it has been
since the applicants for old age pen
sions were regularly employed. The
condition Of the times Is emphasized by
these figures. 1t shows the largest
classes for men for the years 1929 and
1890, with 1880 the largest class for
women. Some had had no employment
since 1900, but these were very few and
the presumption is that they must have
been unemployable through physical
infirmity
Every depression year showed an In
crease in the number applying for old
age pensions. Some on the lists lost
their last employment at the time Of
the panic of 1907. A numerous group
ceased to be self-supporting during the
depression of 1920-2l. Since that time
up until 1929 times were good. but the
data show that in every year many had
held their last Job.
There appears to be a definite rela-
tionship between the numbers applying
for old age pensions and the Develop
ment of the machine age and mass
production. Workers, able to support
themselves appear to have been dis
placed in larger and larger numbers and
left without any means Of support.
Not all of the States have old age
pension systems, and those which do
have them make only small grants to
their pensioners. The pension system
is being extended. and it is expected
that the depression will result in
more general development Of this type
of relief.
