istrators of the plans say that it is
more labor turnover sterilization
plan than unemployment insurance.
1t provided that each employer pays
tax Of go of his payroll into an
individual unemployment reserve
which averages SIS per employee.
There is no pool, each employer act
ing as an individual. Proponents of
the plan say that in this way the
employer whose labor is steady is not
penalized for the employer whose
labor turnover is very great. Instead,
an incentive is offered to the en-
ployer who keeps his labor for longer
periods of time inasmuch as he is not
required to have more than an aver
age Of SIS per employee in the re-
serves. Furthermore firms which have
high financial rating are permitted
to place their unemployment reserves
into working capital. The Wisconsin
plan has been under scrutiny from
all parts of the nation and especially
Minnesota where it is almost certain
that an unemployment insurance bill
will be introduced in the 1885 session
of the Legislature

There is little ceremony about his

only when you happen to be in his
way that he questions which has
the right to the space. Generally, it
is a question of being in the path Of
the flying assassin when the attack is

One thing you cannot forget is that
this creature hobnobs with such low
fellows as the bedbug and cockroaches.
Naturally with associates of this type,
one knows not much good can come

Each carries one of the most vii

definite idea as to how efficient this
nose-bayonet is, would be to look at it
through a magnifying glass. Then
you see it as is. There is no question
in your mind, after one inspection, as
to why 1t hurts so to have the bug
give you a swift jab with 1t.
You would also be surprised at the
fierce expression this nose tends to
give its owner. Not having any odor
of its own. it is seemingly more con-
scious Of it in others Of its race.

The clean-cut frock, shown in the

nautical details evidenced in the

ward, no doubt, when they fall upon
some of the new porous fabrics that
are engagingly made up in designs of
this type. They are sheer in weave
and have a linen-like surface that is
said to resist dirt and dust. These we
recommend without hesitation as the
next best substitute for linen.
