REGISTRATION
OF EMPLOYEES
TO WAIT
Duties Under District
Compensation Law
Are Outlined

Each of the $4,000 employees in
private industry affected by the
District Unemployment Compen.
sation law has only a few duties
to perform in accordance with
terms Of the statute.
AS one District official put it
regarding the employees duties:
The emplOye doesn't have to
do a thing under the law until
1888 and then only II he Is un.
employed and really can't get
work"
1t will be 1898 before any bene.
fits are paid out of the taxes col
lected during the preceding three
years-1935, 1885 and 1887. The
benefits will amount to a maxi
mum of SIS a week, based on a
computation of 40 per cent Of the
weekly wage paid to the worker.
Registration of the employees
will not be undertaken until the
Federal Social Security Board in
structs the local board just what
system it will adopt and expects
from the District board. Until the
Federal board gives the instruc-
tons the District government has
decided to let the registration Of
employees wait.
About the only important duty
delegated to the employee under
terms Of the law is that he make
certain he is properly registered
by his employer with the local
board, that his work history is
properly reported and that his
wage reports are in proper order.
The duty of proving proper en-
ployment in the event he applies
for benefits in 1888 or at later
date is the burden Of the employee
and for this reason he should see
at all times that his records are
in proper order.

must be made before people can
pull together
Whether or not you succeed in
making your husband cooperate
with you in facing problems in
stead of running away from them
depends partly on your ingenuity
and partly on his ability to re-
spond. At least you can do your
part.
Dear Jane Jordan-Two months
ago a girl with whom I had gone
for three years called upon me and
told me that she felt it would be
best for us not to have any more
dates. She said it would only make
matters worse if she told me why.
At that time 1 felt that her parents
had something to do with it, but
since then 1 wonder if it could be
something else. 1 think I should
know her reasons for quitting me,
but as yet have found out nothing.
Don't you think I have that right?
Should l go to her personally, write
her letter or drop the matter?
WHAT NEXT.
Answer-The trouble is that
she may not know her reasons
herself It is very difficult to ex-
plain an instructive emotional
no Even if she succeeds in
finding reasons it is doubtful if
you would get the real one. Do
whatever will give you the most
satisfaction If you have the feel
ing OF an unfinished relationship,
talk it over with her. In my
opinion it is always best for a
man to accept a girls mo" and
not press his suit any farther.
Don't let it get you down. There
are plenty of others to take her
place if you look for them.

and only me. but what makes him
act like that? Then sometimes he

gone on one of his queer trips now
because he got angry when I went
to see my father whom I hadn't Wis

AnSwer-The saying that one
can make war but it takes two to
make peace is an incontrovertible
truth Troubles such as you relate
arise only between people who are
unframed in cooperation. l do
not know what your faults are or
what you do that makes your hus-
band feel the need of emotional
vacations. Whatever it is his atti-
tude is that of a bachelor who is
free to walk out on situations
that displease him.
Many men will give up their
freedom before marriage to act
as an escort, but afterward they
are bored with the domestic rou-
tine, with baby tending and with
the UnintereSting conversation of
their wives. When evening comes
they are restless and put on their
hats to return to the more anus
ing pursuits of their bachelor
days. Such men are too low in
cooperation to make good hus-
bands. They leave their wives to
eat out their hearts in loneliness,
or to find release for their ener-
gies in club Or church work. But
1t is not the teamwork requisite
for a successful marriage.
Wives who are confronted with
this problem seldom solve it on
reasonable grounds. Weeping and
recrm atoms are the only
methods they know. You can try
to make a better partner OF your
e husband by first cooperating
with him in something which he
wishes to 90 and then by pleas
antly requesting him to return the
favor by cooperating with you in
something which you wish TO do.
While most men abhor long per-
SOnal conversations, it is still the
only means of reaching any real
understanding Compro mises
which are satisfactory to both
