Der and extent of the accidents that occur and the rate charged. When accidents increase, rates go up; when there are less accidents, the rates are lower. 1t is clear that the public by preventing accidents can reduce insurance costs and that the public, and not the insurance companies, pays for its own care- lessness and recklessness.
 Most insurance companies try to keep their rates as low as possible consistent with safety in order to be able to sell their policies to as many people as possible and thus distribute the risks widely, a vital principle of insurance. When they raise rates 1t is with extreme reluc- tance but made necessary by mounting claims.
 Control of rates lies to a large degree with the public, which should realize that care means low CT rates and carelessness higher rates. What has been done in re- ducing fire insurance rates can be and should be done to reduce the rates of other types of insurance.

NEW PLAN MAY | AID UNEMPLOYED
Work Relief Bureau Will Help Those JObless
 Office Turns Away

Cincinnati, o. (UP)-Ambitious experiment which will coordinate industry with public and private agencies in an effort to stabilize employment is ready to be put into operation here. Its sponsors hope to place it into effect within a few weeks.
 The plan was prepared by the Cincinnati bureau of governmental research. Cooperation of the fed eral department of labor and the Carnegie Foundation, of New York is anticipated.
 The plan is based upon creation of five bureaus.
 An employment office will main- tain contact with all work oppor- tunities in the country and classify applicants according to vocational ability. A work relief bureau will provide jobs for persons not quali- fled for positions listed by the ern- ployment office.
 An industrial management bu- reau will aid business concerns to maintain re- gu lar production throughout the year, settle labor disputes, outline budgetary pro- cedure, and study market and sales conditions. A fourth bureau will encourage desirable industries to locate in the city and county, and promote housing and .zoning Tho fifth bureau will conduct re- search work in an effort to antici- pate social and industrial trends, thus establishing course of pro- cedure for the other bureaus. Officials estimate cost of the project at $2O0,O00 annually. They sponsored 1t in the belief that em- ployment cannot be stabilized by individual efforts of various agen- cies, but may be accomplished by a concerted attack on industrial and social problems.

 Next morning three lumber saiesmen, bids in hand, are wait ing for George when he arrives at the bank. During the morning the others drop in, and soon Georges pockets are full of cigars. A stranger probably would have thought George was running the bank, the way those fellows bowed and laughed at Georges gags. {.
 ''Nows the time to build!" he yelled at me as he slapped on his Rar at a snappy angle that after noon, rammed a big black cigar into his mouth and started for Patsy's.
 "Yes, sir, Mir Dinkelspiei," I re- piled. MT Dinkelspiel is our presi- dent.
 The following morning all those bidders were back--and more, too. And some of them had evidently tipped off their plumber, elec- trician, painter and plasterer friends. They all come trooping in throughout the morning, and once or twice it looked like lit- tie run on the bank. Sometimes there'd be a gang in front of Georges window and hardly any body in front of the other win dows. And it didn't make any dif- ference to them whether they blocked depositors, either. They

felt sorry for George, but, still, I couldn't help but laugh.
 "Now's the time to build," I said in a high soprano out of the cor ner of my mouth, and he called me well, wish you could have seen the look he gave me.
 After that George turned over everything to Patsy and his father. When salesmen and bidders would come in, he'd send them on out to his, boarding house to see MT Gil- bert or On to Patsy's. But lots of them insisted on talking to George, trying to make him promise he wouldn't let any contracts or place any orders with anybody else till they had a chance to recheck their bids and meet competition.

 George and Patsy ran away lasS night and got married;" big mouthed Fred Kelly hollered.
 You could have knocked me over with wisp.
 I tried and tried to figure it all out, but I couldn't get to first base. So when George and Patsy came back from their little trip, l was one of the first to greet them. And I got George aside and asked him what the hell.
 "That's exactly it." he said, laughing. "That's what brought me to my senses-when they guy at the service station told me to go to hell. Boy, that was jolt a customer getting told where to head in! Imagine it! It made ma realize good old days are hero again-when a customers just a customer and not tin god, anG you can do business in peace as man to man.

some embarrassed and self-conscl- ous but determined, others cocky and aggressive.
 Winner Scruggs, a cement sales man and an old boy friend of Patsy's, was one of the biggest leeches of all-that is, at Patsy's. If it hadn't been for him, believe George and Patsy would have come through the whole mess still pals and in love.
 But with him hanging around like that, added to the thousand and one other pains in the neck well, it was too much for high strung George. Patsy, too, by that time was sick of it all and in a bad humor. So they had big bust-up-that was the afternoon MT Gilbert grabbed a croquet mallet and chased painter down the street.
 From then on George was a changed man-sour, grabbed, silent an6 drinking. And seeing Patsy out with Winner once or twice cer- tainly didn't help matters. He kept getting worse and worse, and de- positors began avoiding his window. tried to talk to him about 1t several times during the summer, but didn't get anywhere.
 But when I heard the cashier was thinking of giving George the ax, decided to make one more try. "How about letting me ride out with you?" said as he started to leave for the day.
 Come on," he snapped.
 On the way out he stopped at a service station where he does busi- ness to leave his spare.

 If it had been me, know wouId have busted him in the jaw. And thought George was going to do it, too. His face turned red ana he doubled up his fist and started after that bird. Then he stopped' hesitated moment-and relaxed.

 He didn't say much as we rode on-seemed in a kind of reverie. I say reverie now, but at the time reckon thought he was just sore. At any rate, I decided it was no time to broach the subject had in mind. As I got out at my corner though, he perked up and thought I saw his lips pucker in a whistle as he drove away.

 |. Boy, George was a wilted peck erwood at the end of the day. All that monkey business had caused him to make a bull somewhere and he was out of balance. I heard him talking to Patsy over the phone, and had never heard him so crabbed-certainly not to her.
 The third day it was even worse. The news had kept spreading in construction circles and they were all hot after that business. Lots of them had fellows they knew who were friends of George to call him up or come in to put in a good word for them. George by that time had a bad case of the jitters.
 Then, on top of all that, the cashier has to get peeved about it. He calls George aside and tells him he'll have to attend to personal business outside banking hours. I
