This was gain of $780,

when government gold reserves
were revalued at a new price of
S35 per ounce.
There was no explanation as to
the source of the increase in gold
today but it was understood that
most of it came out of domestic
boards.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. (UP).
Temporary sterilization of the

The Manufacturers Association
explained that it conducted It's
symposium among directors of the
organization in the belief that es-
tablishment of new gold value
for the dollar enabled industry
for the first time in months to
make an accurate forecast.
Clinton L. Bardo, president of
the New York Shipbuilding Cor
poration and president of the as
ISOLATION was enthusiastic over
the outlook.
"Clarifcation of the admins
tration's monetary policy has inn
proved business sentiment, stimu-
lated confidence in the credit pO-
sition of the government and made
possible industrial commitments
for the future with reasonable
degree of safety" he said. GAS a
result there is in prospect during
the next few months a broad eX-
pansion in trade volumes, a step

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
BILL OFFERED IN CONGRESS
First Move Is Payroll Tax;
Not Likely to Pass
This Session

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (UP).
An unemployment insurance bill
bearing the endorsement of Sec
rotary of Labor Perkins was in
troduced in congress by Senator
Wagner. Dem, N. Y, and Rep.
Lewis. DEM, Md.
President Roosevelt is not COM
mitted publicly to the bill but he
is known to. sympathize with it's
general aim. The bill is designed
to encourage state insurance sys-
TENS and reduce periodic mass un-
employment. Enactment at this
session is considered doubtful.
The bill would impose a federal
tax on employers based on their
payrolls.
Agriculture and employers of
less than five persons would be
exempted. The rate of two per
cent suggested for a tax on this
on the basis of 1929 payroll fig
ures would yield about $1,000
100000 annually.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (UP).
A federal tax on payrolls as the
first step toward encouraging ma
tion-wide enactment of state un-
employment insurance or reserve
laws will be proposed in a joint
bill to be introduced in congress
today.
Senator Robt. F. Wagner, DEM,
of New York, and Rep. David j.
Lewis, DEM. Md, are co-authors
of the measure. They issued a
joint statement last night explain
ing the plan.
1t is proposed to impose a fed
eral tax upon the payrolls of all
employers. except very small ones
and a few special classes such as
farmers, househoders with domes-
tic servants and hospitals. Each
employer would be allowed to off
set against this tax any sums Of
money that he contributed under
the terms of state unemployment
insurance or reserve laws. He
would be allowed an additional
offset whenever his contributions
under state laws were decreased
because of success in stabilizing
employment.
"By this offset principle, senti-
ment will be created favorable to
the enactment of state laws. as
the inhabitants of the several
states will prefer to keep their
money at home rather than con-
tributing it to the federal govern
ment," the statement said.
"At the same time, the federal
tax upon employers who are not
operating under state laws will
defeat the old argument that state
unemployment insurance or re-
serve laws would impose an un-
due handicap in interstate compe-
tition."
The bill would not dictate 20
the states the kind of unemploy-
ment insurance laws to be passed.
Each state may prescribe state
wide funds, industrial pooled
funds or individual reserves under
the proposed plan.
"This MEANS" the statement
added, "that each of the 48 states
may become an experimental lab
oratory for the testing of the wis
dom of particular proposals for
the relief of the unemployed"
At the same time. it was en1-
phasized, the federal law will

trick, could see that two losing dia-
mondS could be discarded on the
ace and king Of spades. However,
that meant that three clubs in de-
clarers hand must be ruffed. Would
this be possible without an over
ruff?
The declarer's thoughts ran along
these lines: West had bid spades.
Not holding the ace or king, he
must have at least five spades.
LIE had opened the queen of dia-
l. i monds-this did not look like
a singleton diamond, because, if
West were short in suit, it prob
ably was hearts. To pick up trump
would defeat the declarer's contract.
Therefore, there was only one
chance of making the hand, and
that was to cross-ruff it out.
The club finesse would not have
to be taken unless East showed up
with only one spade, in which case
it might be necessary to finesse the
club to get rid of the losing diamond
in dummy.
Declarer'S proper play was to re-
turn the small diamond and win in
dummy with the king. West now
was marked with one more diamond.
The ace and king of spades were
played and when East followed to
both, the declarer discarded two
diamonds.
He now returned a small club and
refused to take the finesse, going up
with the ace and returning a small
club, which he ruffed in dummy
with the three of hearts. The seven
Of diamonds was returned and de-
clarer ruffed with the deuce.
The six of clubs was played and
ruffed in dummy with the four of
hearts. A small spade was returned
and. when East discarded the jack
of clubs, he was marked with four
hearts.
Therefore, the declarer trumped,
returned the queen of clubs. and
trumped with the jack Of hearts in
dummy. East was forced to over
trump, and, while the declarer was
forced to lose one heart trick, his
contract was made.

Stormy Days Often Are
Brighter, Too, After
housekeeping.
BY GRETTA PALMER
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Wlu some
L ' clever young Phi. D. please ex-
plain why it is that New Workers
are so susceptible to changes in the
weather. As soon as a thin coat
ing Of grimy ice spreads on our
streets-as soon as the first snow
flake Whirls down from murky sky
people begin to brood on the
money they owe and to decide that
nobody loves them.
If they have nothing tangible to
worry about they worry about the
imperfectiOns Of the NRA and the
possibility Of a Communist reVolu-
ton. Everything is very, very sad
in this city until the thermometer
goes up.
Where are those bouncing spirits
who used to talk about the fun Of
riding in a one-horse open sleigh,
anyway? Probably dead Of pneumo-
nia-and serves them right, too your
New Yorker decides as he shivers
behind the panes Of his radio-in~
tested cab.
New Clothes Help
In view of the general listlessneSs
of these days and pending our Phi.
DIS recommendations a few words
on conquering the dumps are here
by offered. They may not bring you
to the stage Of dancing fandangO
in Times Square, but they are bet
ter than brOOding.
Your degree of cheerfulness is
partly dependent on how pleased
you are with yourself, man being
the most incurable of cyclists. SCi
you had better go out and buy a
new gown if you can possibly afford
it. (The number of women who
have committed suicide in dresses
they were wearing for the first time
is very small indeed)
Another bit of materia medica to
the spirit can be offered by a trip to
the hairdreSser and advice TO that
delighted man to give you a new
way of doing your hair. Good,
giddy nail polish should follow your
manicure.
From this point on there are two
courses Of procedure open. You can
go calling or you can go to work
Armed with the f-aSsurance your
trim appearance gives you, cOmpan-
ionship should be an excellent
tonic-but only if it is easily OBJ
tainable.
To go on desperately calling tele-
phone numbers after the first three
have failed'to answer will only
strengthen your conviction that
everybody else in the world is out
attending a glamorous, confetti
throwing party from which you have
been deliberately excluded. And
then heaven help you, weather or
no weather.
housekeeping Is Sure Cure
The second course is, perhaps. the
most sure-fre of the lot. Get a
good grip on yourself and clean
the hall closet. In extreme cases
you may have to do the medicine
cabinet, too.
Sooner or later the discovery of
number of interesting relics of last
summer will begin to make you
forget about your miseries. You
will find yourself sitting on the
floor reading the diary you started
when you were Is, glancing through
the old photograph album, COM
pletely impervious to the world out
side.
It is our profound conviction that
Pollyanna was a dreadful little prig.
But Just the same-before you have
finished all your chores of CORE
spondence and tidying up (Which
ought to have been done before
and you know it)-the snow will
have stopped and you will find it
is a very pleasant daV.
