ba dictatorship is concerned. 1t
is known that there are several
persons who would like to get the
aldermanic nominations and the
Cop. city convention is expected
to be, an exciting one.
Palomba Excites Them
The report that Chairman Pa
lomba may be the candidate for
the office Of tax collector has
caused great stir in the repub-
lican ranks. Many claim that the
chairman should not seek any fur
Their posts in view of the ones he
unsuccessfully sought since becom-
ing head OF the town committee
last fall. Another report is that
the Pape-Larkin combine, in
order to placate Attorney Palom-
ba, has promised him city court
judgeship two years hence II he
behaves at this time and doesn't
seek any more political plums at
this time. This step has been
taken, 1t Is understood, In order
to silence the many grumblers who
have criticised the tendency to
date Of Chairman Palomba to
aspire to so many political jobs
instead of letting other hard
workers in the party do 50.
Schmidt I'm Quandary
Alderman Schmidt is between
two fires. If he doesn't work hard
enough to suit the Pape-Larkin-
Palomba forces he won't be given
denomination. At the same time
he is worrying about his bureau
of assessment job to which he was
named by Mayor Frank Hayes. AL
derman Dubois must follow the
same rules and at the same time
he is worrying out his important
post on the board of works to
which he was named by Mayor
Hayes. Scbmidt's and Dubois
places on the bureau of assess
ment and board Of works pay sal
aries. 1t is said that the Pape d.
rectorship may demand that they
resign these paying jobs so that
they will not be under obligations
to the Hayes democratic admins
tration.
The Pape forces have much
thinking to do before they get can
didates for the main places on the
ticket and the coming couple OF
weeks are expected to be arduous
ones for the board of strategy
which meets at the Pape home
and at the office of Attorney
Larkin.

that were sent to the city yards
when the fire department became
motorized. He was a thorough
horseman and loved them and
drove the last of the old fire horses,
a dapple gray, until it practically
died in harness. Mr.. Dewey took
part in the old volunteer parades,
wearing the regulation red shirt.
In the parade here couple of
years ago in connection with the
state firemen's convention he drove
a carriage pulled by an old fire
horse.
Survivors of Deceased
The deceased is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Alice Dewey; one sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Graham Of Brook
lyn, N. Y; one step-daughter, Mrs.
Arthur Fem of Thomaston; and
several nieces and nephews. He
was devout member of the church
Of the Sacred Heart and vas prom
inent in the Loyal Order of Moose.
The funeral will take place Nom
day morning at $3.50 o'clock from
the home, 74S Hamilton avenue
with services at the church Of the
Sacred Heart at Q o'clock. Burial
will be in the family plot in old
st. Joseph's cemetery.

will receive unemployment insur-
ance. It will be so per cent Of his
salary on the basis of one week for
each four he has worked in the
previous two years. If he has
worked steadily for thetwo years
he will receive $3.50 weekly for
16 weeks.
The federal government contrib
utes only to administration of the
unemployment insurance plan.
Each state must set up its own
plan but employers must contrib
ute a percentage of their payroll
figure.
Still Further Along
Carrying the printer still farther
along in life, this Is how he would
bennett from the old age PEN
sions:
If he began contributions of
three per cent of his salary to the
unemployment insurance fund
when rs years old and continued
them until he was IS, on the basis
of his $45 salary, he could then
retire and would receive $71.25
a month for the rest Of his life.
If. on the other hand, he died
at the age of As, after contribute
ing for 20 years, he would leave
his family, from the old age fund,
az per cent of his wages for 20
years. 1t would amount to $2,19s.
The pension fund is self-sustain-
ing.
In Lower Brackets
Those in the lower wage brack-
cts will not receive as much as the
model printer, but they will be
eligible for benefits on the basis
posed model state plans, both the
federal and state governments
would contribute. To encourage
such state legislation, the federal
government will match states dol
lar for dollar up to SIS a month
per pensioner.
The states could pay more than
this amount II they see fit. Thus
teh benefits to workers in the low.
err brackets will depend on the
plans set up by each state.
Aids Family at Death
In addition aid will be given,
on the printers death, both to his
widow, If necessary, and to his de-
pendent children. Health care will
be given to mothers and children
and the latter will be eligible for
dependency payments. The fed
eral government will pay one-third
of state allotments to care for de.
pendent children but the first child
can receive a maximum of $1S a
month and each additional $12 q
month. These benefits will depend
on the state plans.

airy. After that the teacher was
required to take care of herself
and was required to pay all med
ical bills.
May Change Rules
In view OF the decision Of Com
missioner Lynch, II Is expected
that the board of education will
change its rules.
A teacher who becomes injured
while In the course of her en-
ployment. in the future, will be
placed on half pay, provided the
half pay does not exceed $21
weekly, and all medical expenses
will be paid by the city. In addi-
ton the teacher will be allowed
the four weeks sick leave.
The rules win have to be
changed to permit this new set-up
by the board Of education, and at
the present writing Il Is assumed
that the board will 90 act ct its
next meeting.

New England Young Republicans
have set September z and as the
date of their second all-New Eng
land conference, following closely
the successful one held at New Lon
don, Connecticut on June 20 and
80. The coference will be held at
wentworth -the-Sea at Ports
mouth, New Hampshire.
Four sessions, instead Of two,
have been scheduled, the confer
ence being extended to include a
morning session on Saturday, Sep
TENDER z, and a morning sessio on
Sunday, the eighth. The banquet
will be held on Saturday evening
with a short afternoon session at
1880 on the same day.
In connection with the forenoon
session on Saturday, it is expected
that the young Republicans Of New
England will attend en- masse, the
meeting taking the form of a BUSH
ness session. A Young Republican
leader of each New England State
will speak.
So as not to limit debate on i'm
portant committee reports. the most
debatable Of which will be that of
the resolutions committee, all COM
mittee reports will be given at the
ten o'clock Sunday mroning ses-
sion. The resolutions committee
had referred to it, at the last con-
ference, fifteen so-called "contro-

is possible that an attempt will be

BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS.

~ NCE upon a time, James M.
4 Mead, stalwart Democratic
I Representative from New
~ York. saw % of his colleagues
die within a single term of
Congress. This set him thinking OF the
irregular channels of fate and he de-
cided that simple way of eliminat-
ing one of the obvious paths down
which the grim reaper treads was
to make physical exercise available
to members of the House.
So he went to work on the idea
of having a gymnasium installed in
the House Office Building. In 1920,
1925 and 1882 futile efforts were made.
Appropriation was included in the
money allocated to build the new
House Office Building for a gymna-
sium and equipment, but though the
gymnasium room was constructed. it
was not furnished. These three ef-
forts failed, according to Mr.. Mead,
because there was lack of interest
and because congressional activities
increased.
Thirty-Five Break the Ice.
Now, however, for the first time, the
flower of health is rearing small
head above the hard sod. Thirty-f1ve
out of 435 members of the House
tramp over to the gymnasium in the
cellar of the new House Office Build
ing around o'clock in the afternoon.
Here they wrestle with hand ball.

ball, horse tennis, hand tennis and

that encourage mild exercise by in
teresting competition and that enable
the members to secure their activity
quickly. He thinks the change of
regime for the average man, who has
led an active life at home and then
comes to Congress to lead a purely
sedentary one, is more than the sys-
tenn normally can stand. He con-
tends golf and tennis are too expen-
sive and take up too much time,
hence gymnasium is the obvious
answer.
Congressman Buy Equipment.
The equipment for the gym is paid
for by the Congressman themselves.
Any member who wants to belong
subscribes SIS, their clerks and secre-
taries, $3.50 This money is put in
the bank and when they want new
equipment, Mr.. Lynn, the Capitol
architect, buys it for them.
