Mrs Kate Woodward Noble, 70, q nswspaperwoman for the past 80 years and one of the most be- loved figures in the community, was fighting an apparently hope less battle against death at St Mary's hospital this afternoon. Stricken with cerebral hem orrhage just as she was leaving for work from her Franklin street home yesterday morning, Mrs Noble is in an extremely critical condition.
 A member of the staff of the Waterbury American for 30 years, Mrs Noble has been one of the out standing figures in the Connecticut Journalistic world over a period of many years. Despite her advanced age, she has been working regu- from her employment through ill., ness.
 At the organization meeting of the Waterbury Newspaper Guild last summer, Mrs Noble was named an honorary member. She &C., cepted the honor with pride, hold ing 1t above the many other hon. orary memberships which she held in local organizations.
 Mrs Noble was close friend of the late Martin Scully, former mayor and city editor of the Democrat, who died recently. Both of them brought into the present day the traditions of the late 19.h century journalism in Waterbury.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
HOmemakers Answered BY
University Farm

1 am sending you a specimen Of
a black spider. Is it one of the
poisonous kind?
The black spider you sent for
Identification is jumping spider,
not uncommon in Minnesota. It is
characterized by it's black color,
with three white or somewhat red
dish patches, near the tip of the
body. There is a less conspicuous
white mark on either side of the
abdomen, near the front end. In
addition, there are whitish hairs
scattered about on the legs, which
give them a somewhat striped,
grayish appearance. There is no
common name for this spider, and
there are no authentic records of
this spiders proving poisonous to
man. The black widow spider,
which is undoubtedly poisonous to
man, is marked by an hour-glass
yellow, orange, or red spot on the
under side of the abdomen. Unlike
the jumping spider 1T spins an ir-
regular web for capturing its prey.
This may be spun at the mouth of
a gopher hole, in rubbish, or in out
buildings. It does not actively at
tack man, but only when in danger,
as under the pressure of clothing.

State Political News

The Analyst (New York; has
made a study of where the burden
Of the Roosevelt deficit of $4,000
100000 (ten billion dollars) will
fall. Population counted for one
point, wealth for two points in the
analysis. Minnesota's share of the
burden is set at $235, 100000.
That's what we've got to pay.
How much have We got out of it?
Apparently something like this:
since January I, 1888 and up to
December 1 of this year Minnesota
has received in federal funds, for
CWA approximately $2O,00O,000 for
relief $66,OOOO00, in PWA arlot-
ments $12, 100000, apparently allot-
ct for WPA projects $19,600O00, ex-
cess of processing benefits over
Minnesota processing payments
$12,0O00OO, highway receipts in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900,
and for CCC from $25 100000, to
$50, 100000, a total varying from
$17O, 900 900 to SITS, 100000.
In addition the federal govern
ment has made numerous loans
for which definite figures are not
available and there may be some
small-change millions yet to come.

ahead on the New Deal?

Fifty years ago Germany put in

FLOWER CHAIN LETTER
RREAKS NUIRSERv I


Something new in chain letter
scheme, that recently sprang up in
Minnesota, is being "nipped in the
bud" by A. G. Ruggles, University
Farm, head Of the state nursery
inspection work.
The purpose of this chain letter
is to distribute plants, bulbs and
seeds, and If carried out would vio-
late both the state and federal nur-
sery inspection and quarantine
laws for preventing the spread of
dangerous diseases and insects.
Those participating by sending
plants without certificate of in
spection attached, can expect to
deal with the law, says Mr.. Rug
giles, because transit inspectors will
catch these packages no matter
how they are sent.
The chain letter reads as follows:
IF you want to join our flower
club, send seeds, bulbs, or plants to
the top name, No. 1, and place your
name at the bottom of the list, ON
lifting name No. and send a card
to five of your flower-loving
friends. When your name gets to
the top of the list it should reach
1000 persons who will send you
flower seeds, bulbs, or plants"
"Postmasters and express or
freight clerks are not allowed to
accept plants without inspection
tags attached, so don't get too ex-
cited about the plan," Mr.. Ruggles
advises. 1.-THE idea of identifying
the country in a wholesale way is
very NICE" he says, "but what about
the insects and diseases that might
move with this material?"

be insufficient if it is to be main
tanned. Consider the results if a
man drew the same amount for
sickness that he received for hard
labor.
All political groups happening to
be in power have, in anticipation of
impending elections, made conces-
sions incompatible either with
reason ir sound economics.
Through the greatest social
crisis the world has ever seen may
have been caused by many other
factors, particularly by the war
and the new conditions it brought
about, the crisis in many countries
did not become so great in spite
of, but on account of, social insur-
ance.
In the time of her hardest social
crisis, social insurance was Ger
many's greatest inner trouble.
Since the sick insurance has
been in effect, the average number
of days of incapacity to work be-
cause of i'll health has risen from
SIS to % days, although health in
general has considerably improved.
For every 200 persons insured,
one official is needed in the ad-
mniistrative organization.
While many workmen are living
in dilapidated houses, their money
was used for building huge, luxur-
ious offices, which bore sign that
their purpose was to administer
the hard earned capital of the
working class, put by for times of
need.
In Germany no one any longer
doubts that the employers share
of the premium is taken from the
workmen's wages. What the en-
ployer contributes to social insur-
ance he cannot pay the workmen
in wages.
If Germany had no social incur
ance system but still has her SO
years of experience in it she GER
tainly would not accept social in
surance today.
