When wines are served, Mrs. Roose-

preference being given to American
wines"
Serving of liquor in the White House
always has been matter of the per-

family. Some occupants have been
noted for the excellence of wines on
the sideboard. Others have served
none
The statement by Mrs. Roosevelt to-

REVEALSPR0GRAM
FOR JOB INSURANCE
Miss Perkins Says Congress
to Get Bill for u. S. Tax
on Employers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 29.-The pos
sibility of creating a Nationwide sys-
tenn of unemployment insurance within
two years-designed to take the place
Of bread lines-was declared today by
Miss Frances Perkins.
The Secretary of Labor, addressing
the National Conference for Unemploy-
ment Insurance at the Hotel Com
modore. disclosed a bill will be intro
duced in Congress shortly for a Fed
eral tax on employers.
The measure would promote State
legislation on unemployment insurance,
she said, by allowing offsets from the
Federal employers tax for all contribu-
tions to State unemployment insurance
schemes.
States Can Decide.
The proposed Federal law. she said,
would not dictate to the States what
kind Of measures they shall pass, but
leaves entire freedom on this point to
the States. She predicted. however,
that If Congress passes the proposed tax
plan the more than 40 Legislatures in
session this year and next year would
have an increased incentive to pass laws
setting up reserves.
The States under the plan which
Senator Wagner. Democrat, of New
York; Representative Lewis. Democrat,
Of Maryland. and I have been working
out can decide for themselves whether
to have Statewide funds. industrial
pooled funds or individual reserves"
MISS Perkins continued They can
also decide whether to have Joint con-
trloutlons or only by employers. what
employers shall contribute. what en-
ployments are to be covered, who is
eligible for benefits. what the waiting
period shall be and what. above an
absolute minimum. the benefit rates
paid.
We must realize the necessity of
setting up such reserves in the diff
ferent States so that in the future they
may take the place of the bread line
or other charities as a systematic. hon
orable method of tiding over a slump
period for those who want work and
lack it.
In urging unemployment reserves I
realize that its adoption would not
mean the throwing up Of economic bull
warks for all wage earners. Properly
safeguarded, 1t will. however, consti-
tute certain definite measure of Sc
curlty Tor many workers and their fam.
lilies.
j0r Social Hazard"
Economic insecurity is one of the
major social hazards of life in this
country, hazard for the individual
family, hazard for the community
which must maintain them on charity
or poverty level, a hazard to the total
industrial organization because of the
drylng up OF purchasing power"
Miss Perkins said that while Wiscon.
sin Is the only State which now has an
unemployment insurance law, such
measures are pending in many other
States.
She urged the immediate passage of
unemployment insurance legislation in
New York State as a provision of Sc
curity against misery to wage earners
due to unemployment in the future and
as method Of providing stabilization
OF industry for prevention of unem-
ployment.

Why Hoopsnake Does Not
 Roll Along Like a Hoop

The hoopsnake is small and harm- less snake of the south Atlantic states. so-called because of the notion that it curves itself into a hoop. takes it's tnil into it's mouth and rolls along at a merry clip. This notion is pure ly mythical. although it is believed by many. especially the backland negroes. That any snake could perform such a feat is absurd. and taking into con- sideration the anatomical pecnarities of the vertebral column it is clearly impossible. The hoopsnake does much of his travelling underground. burrow- ing deeply into the soil. He is rath- CT good looking snake. with blue black back. marked with three red lines, and an under side of the shade called nude. dappled in black.

Held Fast You Faith.

Before stilling the editorial voice, we would again admon- fsh the good people of Hyder, and particularly those who are directly interested in mining, to hold fast their faith in the fu- ture of the Hyder mineral dist rict.
 Conditions hereabouts have admittedly been very discour- aging during the past four years; more as a consequence of the great decline in the val of silver in 1880 than of condit- ions created by the economic depression. The depression : has, indeed, dealt us some rough knocks, but that unwar- ranted and arbitrary debase- ment of silver prices was an overwhelming disaster to a community that possesses no other productive resource than mining, with silver as the pri- mary productive element, and it is not to be wondered at that many of us have all but given up hope that the camps pros perity will be again restored. Indeed, to some it has seemed that Hyder as a mining camp

which sank into oblivion when their mineral resources were dissipated or lost.
 While such an eventuality may ultimately appear, in- dubitable evidences indicate that it will not occur for long time. Chief of these is the fact that the mineral resources of the Hyder district are neither dissipated or lost. They are still here, scarcely touched and barely tried, and the ultimate possibilities of the camp lie still before and not behind it.
 It should not be forgotten that vast and demonstratably valuable mineral wealth still reposes in the nearby mount ain fastnesses and that some day, possibly not far away, means will be forthcoming to garner it from its age-long resting places and bring it to the uses and benefit of man. kind.
 Present and future enhance ment of gold and silver prices and the ever-increasing need for greater supplies of those metals to carry on the worlds commerce and industry will ul- timately turn the eyes of capi- tai in this direction.
 Regardless of the few earlier development failures, product i've mines will yet be opened up in the district. Among those unnumbered massy lodges of ore scanning the towering slopes of Salmon valley and Texas creek will be found some that will yield great stores of wealth.
 Money, time and the indust- rious hand of labor are the keys that will unlock the doors to the treasure house and bring unbounded prosperity to the district and to those whose faith in the future of the camp will last until their coming. And come they will; let no one doubt it. For where gold abides, soon or late men will seek it out, and with untir- ing effort bring it forth to fill their coffers and enrich their lives and the lives of those who follow them.
 So, we say again: hold fast your faith in the future of your camp and district. Let not trial and adver;ity diminish your confidence that the Hyder camp will one day rank as one of the rich mineral producing regions of the world.
 Although the time be long and patience be strained by the seeming endlessness of wait ing, forget not the stores of wealth reposing in your hills and know that they will in- evitably be brought forth and that you may share in such re- wards as they will bring. Like

TRAFFIC: STUDY
MADE IN BL|MP

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer was sup in the air. about
the traffic situation today.
However, he found conditions
anything but bad as he scared
over the city in blimp.
The traffic was unusually light
between 8 and 9 a. M, Mr.. Van
Duzer found. This he attributes
to the lull between holidays when
schools are closed. Next Thurs
day or Friday he will try another
morning flight. With school re-
opened and Congress back in SeS'
sions, he thinks conditions will be
such that he can make a good
study of traffic tangles.
Today there were none. In fact,
nothing happened until $50
o'clock. He was peering down
from about 1000 feet at Wiscon-
sin and Massachusetts, avenues. He
followed the latter to Thomas
Circle and found only little con-
gestion at Scott Circle.
Thomas Circle was taking care
of its cars, as was Thirteenth
Street and Constitution and Penn
Sylvania avenues, which had an ex-
ceptionally light load. Eighteenth
Street and Columbia Road also
were free from tangles. and no
place could he find traffic tied up
for a full block.
