Reports received by the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
from many localities throughout the
country show increased activity in
subsistence gardens. This mode of
food production was resorted to in
nearly every state last year with
marked success, hundreds of thous-
ands of cans of vegetables and fruits
from these gardens being consumed
by the families that raised them, or
distributed to others on relief dur
ing the past winter.
Garden making contributes many
values to those engaged in :t-pro-
duces food for present and future
use, furnishes healthful mental and
physical activities, teaches proper
methods of canning and lessons the

recently gave an interesting review of
the experiences Of his institution in
this connection. In 1882 the Federal

law to make direct loans to individuals
in unusual circumstances when they
had been unable to obtain loans from

animation to be for funds for capital

in the sum of S1.417,000 to IA prospec.
tive borrowers. OF this amount, only
$S06,000 was actually loaned more than
many months later. Two of the borrow.
ers went into receivership.
Since 1t was the special endeavor
of the Federal Reserve Bank to make
every possible loan under the emer.
gency provisions of the amendment,
and since their best efforts resulted in
the extension of so small sum as to
have no effect on the total volume of
commercial loans, 1t is reasonable as
sumption that eligible borrowers en-.

in commenting on this episode.
1t is characteristic, as shown by
studies of past business cycles, for
changes in the volume of commercial
bank credit to follow behind either con-
traction or expansion of business &C.
tivity, says a financial writer in the
New York Times. This was manifest
recently in England's recent recovery
where there was lag between in
creased business and increased com
mercial loans.

Burden Of JobIess Is Equally DiUided Under English Plan
Everyone With Job Must Contribute Towards Unern- pIoyment Insurance However Standards of Living
 in United States Would Enact Higher Payments

I and feared him more than any other man in public life. But in 1911 he got through his National Insurance Act, which covered 2,25O,O00 persons in trades most subjects to unemployment, such as iron foundries, building and ship yards. The fund out Of which unemployment benefits were to be paid was financed by contri- buttons in equal amounts from em- ployers and employed, plus a sub sidy from the state.
 With some slight notifications, this law remained in effect until 1920. It's very existence proved q life -saver for Great Britain when the World War came to an end. The hundreds of thousands of volunteer soldiers had been prom isde that their jobs would be given back to them when the war was over. Lloyd George had proclaimed that after the war Great Britain must be made into 2 place fit for heroes to live.
 with close of the war, the de- mobilized citizen soldiers came trooping back-fonr millions of them. Many found jobs taken by younger men and by women.
 In some trades their jobs were gone--shot to pieces by trade de- pression. The outlook was bleak; also dangerous.
 New Scheme Drafted.
 Parliament dealt with the sub- ject by voting enormous sums as direct unemployment donations. It cost heavily but it was like an insurance premium paid to keep the country free from rebellion. Men became entitled to unetn- ployment benefits ranging from $5 to $7.25 weekly.
 But this could not go on inde- finitely. So, in 1920, a new unern- ployment scheme was evolved, af- fecting nearly two million people. Large classes were excepted from It's benefits, including agricultural laborers, domestic hervants, per- manent government and municipal officials, and non-1nannual workers earning more than $1,250 per annum.
 Once more Parliament guessed wrong. The unemployment figures exceeded the estimates. du etc one long cycle of business depression. In some industpies there was some thing very near to permanent un- employment.
 A fixed period of insurance benefits had been decreed, but it was found necessary to continue

 ceived here because 1t contains two northern Jugoslav members. When I questioned people in the

 Long fighting for equality be- tween Croats and Serbs within the Kingdom, the leaders met and de- cided to cooperate in the regency of King Peter as soon as the gov- ernment indicates that Croatians
 and Slovens will have hand in the government.

 they termed unjust treatment of
 Croatians. One leader said: "The scales of justice was now balanced. We and the Serbs each lost . great number of men by

war. although there have been in- dications that French popularity in Jugoslavia has waned lately, with German friendship gaining. The fact that the French foreign min ister was killed and French army general was critically wounded in the attack upon King Alexander would rob the tragedy of much of it's international dynamite.
 Where 1t Would Hurt
 If the attack on the Jugoslav king had taken place in Italy-of- ficials significantly shrug their shoulders and decline to comment on what then might have been the consequences. Italy and Jugoslavia for years have been to each other what steel is to the flint.
 Immediate effect on the United States officials believe, will be linn tied to the extent to which the forthcoming naval conversations if, London. and the general plans for disarmament are affected. King Alexander's assassination is expect ed to deter somewhat the schec /. uled impeachment between Italy and France. This. in turn. may have some direct effect on Brit aims attitue toward limitation os naval armaments, and thus the whole question of naval armament would be thrown open.
 Before hazarding any guesses along this line. officials prefer to await a clearing of the tense at. mospherc in Europe engendered directly by the assassinations, an some clearer indication of tho pos- eible course of political events for the next few months.

the payments indefinitely. Hence they began to be known as "doles," rather than as benefits.
 Contributions were heavily in- creased and the government had fund. By the end of 1881 there 00,000 in the fund.
 Benefits Are Slashed.
 Accordingly, the Tory party in 1881 forced through 8 new law which further. increasel the com pulsory payments by the insured persons who had jobs and still further lowered the benefits paid when they lost their jobs. The Labor party especially fought a provision in the bill known as the Means Test" Un- der this there is a stricter examin- ation of the rights of person to draw unemployed pay. Since 1920, the ordinary re- ceipts by the unemployed insur- ance scheme have been $2,400,0 0,000,- 900 and the expenditures have been nearly $3,000, 100000.
 Every employed person has to be insured under the law. Elm ployers must contribute, and also hold out at the source each week the contribution the employe must
 make.
 The rate of contributions is as follows at present: Men from 21 to under 65, employer, 20 cents,
 ernploye and state same sum; men
 from IS to under 21, employer, employe sand state pay IS cents
 each; boys under IS, employer, employe and state pay 10 cents
 each; women from 21 to under 65, employer, employe and state pay IS cents each; women from IS to under 21, employer, em- ploye and state pay 16 cents each; girls under IS, employer, employe
 and state pay cents each. Payments Are Graded. The weekly benefits at present paid to unemployed persons who are insured and have kept up pay ments are as follows: Men between
 21 and 65, $3.S1; men between IS and 21, $3.12; boys between IS and IT, $1.37; women between 21 and 65, $S.37: women between IS and 21, $2.68; girls between 17 and IS, s1.6s; girls between 16 and IT, SLIP.
 Tn addition to the above pay ments, the recipient also gets $2 a week for each adult dependent and 50 cents for each dependent child.
 Congress in tackling this ques- tion and in considering these fig-
 ures, would probably take into consideration the usual great dif- ference, between the standard of wages and of living in the United States and Great Britain. Wages Far Higher. The British workers have always drawn less in wages than Ameri-
 cans and have a much lower
 standard of living. Tn America tens
 of thousands of workmen have
 bought their own homes on the
 installment plan. This is unusual in Britain.

 en route to Belgrade to take up, under regency, his duties as ruler of 14,O00,0 subjects. He was accompanied by his grandmother, Queen Marie of Ru- mania.
 The young king and the dowager queen were cheered by a large
 crowd as they left their hotel for Victoria station. Peter, glancing
 neither right or left, ran down the

 The royal Pullman was separated from the other coaches by a bag gage car and a fenced inclosurc in front of the Pullman kept the large crowd at a distance. Peter chatted calmly with friends through the window. Queen
