RELIEF REFORM

Assurance that the new administration will act
quickly to make unemployment relief effective was
given the Governors conference in Washington.
We now know that President Roosevelt wants a
more orderly and co-ordinated disposal of federal
hunger funds to the states and that the Governors
as well as the President prefer work relief to doles
Since last July the federal government has poured
into the states some $24O O0OO On the spending
of this great fund the government has had little
check. tiny corps of five Reconstruction Corpora
ton field men has tried vigorously to prevent waste
1t is little wonder that many states, lacking prop
er relief machinery have allowed precious dollars to
Seep into political pockets flow down rat holes of
inefficient administration
Uncle Sam has set up strict standards in federal
aided road building. But there is no American stand
ard for relief
In some southern states relief is limited to S. and
ST family month; in Chicago it is $50. Work
relief wages range from 20 cents an hour to 81 dav
There should be minimum relief standard below

To maintain this standard, the federal govern
ment should contribute leadership as well as money

HAVE you ever been down at

friend who has been desperately
i'll. ut is a profound experience.
One sees more clearly than ever
before what life really is and
ought to be. Big things shrivel
up, little things loom large.
Honors one longed for, victories
won by having our own way, thirst
for revenge, eXacting our rights,
pride, and ambition-how petty
these things become. One discerns
the meaning of life, what true
values are, and the folly of run
ming after false ones"
In remarkable letter, my
friend goes on to tell what he
learned in an illness that lasted
some two years. At first he was
sad and hopeless, as if under a
dark cloud of detection, unable
to see any way out. Then, sudden
ly, he came to believe-practically,
not as nice theory-in the per-
sonal Immortality of the soul.
At once everything was diff
ferent, as if a light had been
turned on in dark room. He saw
that he had been living life with
an entirely wrong idea of what life
is.

Tongue Tells Doctor Many Things

THE tongue is an organ which
Il always has aroused the in

Doctors of an earlier day used to
pay a great deal of attention to

rest of the digestive tract.
Occasionally the tongue is abb

There are other cases in which

An I1ov0ding Army

DENJANIN DANE WALSH,
~ Illinois state entomologist in
1865, reported that progress of
the potato bug through the state
was like the march of an invad-
ing army moving in many separ-
ate columns.
BY 1869, the potato bug was
found in Ohio and by 1870
throughout the entire middle west.
1t reached the Atlantic coast in
1874, spreading all the way from
Connecticut to Virginia. In 1900
it was found in Florida and Lou
iSiana.
During the World war, it was
carried into France with potato
shipments and is now spreading
so fast there that all hope of
eradicating it has been given up.
EntomologistS see no way of
preventing it from spreading
throughout Europe.
Until 1859 no successful method
of fighting the insect was known
except that of picking them off
the potato plants by hand or
brushing them into a pan of
water or oil.

And, as heaven is my witness,
Mr.. Wash Young replied: when I

studying about courage, I become
courage. Instead of thinking about
patience, and so on down through
a list Of endearing qualities.

leaving my home in the morning

CIVIL WORKERS GET
$4,000 PAY ROLL
Works Program And Allied
Groups Aid 1880 Men
and Women.

A pay roll totaling $183,000 was dis
bursed yesterday to 1880 men and
women who have been given employ
ment under the Districts civil works
program and its affiliated civil works
service organization.
The total was considerably greater
than that for the preceding weeks since
the number enlisted in the programs
has been increased as the program OF
filling the 10000 job quota progressed.
OF the total number of workers, there
were l5,600 engaged directly on civil
works programs who received Sl8l, 900.
This pay roll was met out of funds pro-
vided by the Federal Government for
the employment plan
There were 1.250 women in the "serv-
ice classification whose pay, totaling
about $1,000, was paid out of emergency
relief funds, in keeping with rules laid
down by Federal civil works authori-
ties.
Actually yesterday there were 1880
men and women on assignment lists
under the civil works program, accord
ing to figures made public by Capt
howard F. Clark, chairman of the Work
framing Committee of the Civil Works
Administration program, but of these
some 1000 were not yet subject to the
pay roll for the past week of work.
Ten thousand men Civil Works Ad-
mlnlStration workers were paid off at

REVISED wine CODE
is GIVEN TO WALLACE
Modified Marketing Agreement
Also Presented-Capacity Con-
troll Eliminated.

A revised marketing agreement and
code for the United States wine indus
try was submitted yesterday to Secre-
tary Wallace for tentative approval.
The code differs from the original in
providing for administration by two
committees representing, respectively,
the Western and Eastern wine produc-
ers and supervision by code authority
consisting of three members of the
Western Committee. two members of
the Eastern Committee and two repre-
sentativeS of the Federal Alcohol Con-
troll Administration.
The revised code also differs in that
it contains no provision for control of
productive capacity.
The marketing agreement is practi-
cally the same as when the hearing was
held on December 13. Its principal
feature provides for a committee which
will recommend to Secretary Wallace a
plan for controlling the production of
grapes from which wine is made.
If the code and agreement are ap-
proved by Wallace, members of the in
dustry will meet in Washington next
Tuesday to sign the agreement before
it is submitted for final approval.
