All May Reach 30

Actually they all may exceed age
30. for they seem to be in splendid
health. and. as wards Of the king,
will continue to receive excellent
care. The one that will live the
longest may expect TO live to 81.
of course these figures all are
based on averages and these chill
dren may do better. In our COM
putations We can not take into con-
siderat.on the fact that these quin-
tuplets are Of the identical kind Of
multiple births.
Therefore. they probably have
similar predispositions, such as
would tend, barring accidents, TO
make all survive to about the same
age. This. let us hope, may be an
advanced age, since their health is
robust and special provisions will
continue to be taken for their well
fare"

BOY BANDIT is
NOW WORRIED
ABOUT HIS GIRL
Young Graduate Convinced
He Must Start Again in
Another Town.

Paul Stetzel, 19-yesr- old Tech
nical High School honor graduate,
paced his Countyq Jail cell today
and worried:
About what his girl will think of
him.
What the fellows will think of
/ him.
What kind of clothes he'll have at
the Indiana State Farm.
Sunday school boy, handsome and
popular in school even to the parties
that celebrated his graduation this
spring when he was under indict-
ment although not one of his chums
knew it, Paul contributed his phil
osophy of crime as he waited to be-
gin his sentence of one year on the
Indiana State Farm.
Won't Be Able to Face Pals
The crime itself-holding up
street car motorman and taking $40
was complicated with the UNI
pleasantness, he said, of having to
slip through alleys and up side
streets to his home so that no one
of his friends would see him in the
old clothes he had chosen as a dis
guiSe.
ANY one with pride shouldn't do
trick like that" he said. I won't
be able to face my pals after this
stretch. The only thing left then
will be to get out of town and start
all over" he said.
Il can't tell you my girls name.
She doesn't know of this mess yet,
and I hope she doesn't find out. 1t
will almost kill her when she hears
about it.
Treated Well at Home
Nobody at school ever found out,
either, and | was able to get my
diploma I was glad I pulled that
poker face bluff, because was a
good student and got on the honor
roll. I even took my girl to the
olullllll OdA4CC, AlO oolN do A4S
laughed a little.
There wasn't any reason for me
to do this. My mother and step
father were always good to me. I
was bored with working in a grocery,
and I was looking for thrills.
Don't let any one tell you crooks
aren't afraid when pulling job.
have seen bunch of hard guys in
here, and they all get scared.
Admits Striking Victim
when I held up that motorman
at Illinois and South-sts, I was
plenty nervous. He put up fight,
and I got sick all inside. After ne
knocked me down, I got up and
hit him back and jumped off the
car with $40"
Stetzel had put on old clothes to
do the robbery, and he rode home
on a South East street car instead
of a Prospect car, because 1 didn't
want any one I knew to see me
looking shabby"
The police saw him riding home
and captured him on the car, their
reports showed
Smiling ruefully Stetzel said, Il
won't have to worry about clothes
for a year, anyway"

.BATHTUB DEATH
BRINGS PROBE

Police today were investigating
what they declared to be suspicious
circumstances surrounding the
death of Thomas M. Boyle, SIS, in
Mount Alto Hospital last night.
According to police, Mrs. Boyle
found her husband unconscious in
the bath tub of their home, 5000
block of P st. N. w. Doctors said
there were indications that he had
taken a large quantity of water
into his lungs. There were no
marks on the body, they said.
Hurried to the hospital, Mr..
Boyle was given first aid treat
ment by DR.. r. L. Lipscomb of the
hospital staff. but he died a few
hours later without regaining con-
sciouSneSs.
An autopsy was to be held to-
day at the District Morgue and
Coroner w. Magruder Macdonald
was planning to hold an inquest.
Mr.. Doyle was a clerk in the
Bureau of Indian Affairs here. |

$4,000 ASKED
IN RAIL SUITS

Suits for a total of 1926, 900
damages were filed against the
Pennsylvania railroad today in
District Supreme Court by four
persons, who were injured when
an automobile in which they were
riding was struck by a train at a
crossing at Harmony Grove, Md.
The plaintiffs and amounts
sought by each are Jessie N. Hee.
ter, Cherrydale, Va, 100000;
Cora L. Fisher, Potomac, Md,
100000; Blanche I. Collins, Rock
vile, Md, 100000, and Lillian M.
Cuttings, Rockville, $4,000. The
suits were filed through Attorneys
James c. Wilkes and James E.
Artis.
In each suit, it is charged that
the crash between the train and
auto occurred because of the
failure of the railroad company to
safeguard the crossing. The mis-
hap occurred March 3, 1892.
The Washington times., 1935-01-17

have already adopted it, and
their experience affords the
knowledge that social insurance
can be made a sound and work
able project.
Three Principles
Three principles should be
observed in legislation on this
subject. In the first place, the
system adopted, except for the
money necessary to initiate it,
should be self,sustaining in the
sense that funds for the pay.
ment of insurance benefits
should not come from the pro-
ceeds of general taxation. Sec.
ond, excepting in old-age in.
surance, actual management
should be left to the States
subject to standards established
by the Federal Government.
Third, sound financial manage
ment Of the funds and the re.
serves, and protection of the
credit structure of the Nation
should be assured by retaining
Federal control over all funds
through trustees in the Treas.
ury of the United States.
At this time, I recommend
the following types of legisla.
ton rocking to economic Sc.
curity:
l. Unemployment compen-
sation.
2. Old age benefits, includ-
ing compulsory and voluntary
annuities.
3. Federal aid to dependent
children through grants to
States for the support of ex.
1stlng mothers pension sys.
TENS and for services for the
protection and care of home.
less, neglected dependent and
crippled children.
4. Additional Federal aid
to State and local public
health geEcies and the
STRENGTHENING of the Federal
Public Health Service. I am
not at this time recommend
ing the adoption of so-called
he a II h insurance, although
groups representing the medi.
cal profession are cooperating
With the Federal Government
In the further study of the
subject and definite progress
is beng made.
Tax on PayrOlIs
With respect to unemplov.
ment compensation, have con.
cluded that the most practical
proposal is the levy of uniform
Federal payroll tax, 80 per cent
OF which should be allowed as
an offset to employers contrib
uting under a compulsory State
u n e m ployment compensation
act,

mote and encourage the pass.
age Of unemployment compen-
sation laws in the States. The
10 per cent not thus offset
should be used to cover the costs
Of Federal and State admins
tration of this broad system.
Thus, States will largely ad-
minister unemployment com.
pensation, assisted and guided
by the Federal Government.
An unemployment compensa.
ton system should be con-
structed in such a way as to
afford every practicable aid and
incentive toward the larger pur.
pose Of employment stabiliza.
tion. This can be helped by the
intelligent planning Of both pub.
lie and private employment. It
also can be helped by correlat-
ing the system with public EN-.
ployment so that a person who
has exhausted his benefits may
be eligible for some form of pub.
lie work as is recommended in
this report.
Moreover, in order to encour-
age the sterilization of private
employment Federal legislation
should not foreclose the States
from establishing means for in.
ducing industries to afford an
even greater Stabilization Of EN-.
ployment.
Old-Age Security
In the important field Of
security for our old people, it
seems necessary to adopt three
principles first, noncontribu.
tory old-age pensions for those
who are now too old to build
up their own insurance: it is,
of course, clear that for per-
haps 80 years to come funds
will have to be provided by the
States and the Federal Govern.
ment to meet these pensions. &.
Second, compulsory contribu-
tory annuitieS which in time
will establish a self-supporting
system for those now young
and for future generations.
Third. voluntary contributory
annuities by which individual
initiative can increase the an
nual amounts received in old
age. 1t is proposed that the
Federal Government assume
one-half of the cost of the old
age pension plan, which ought
ultimately to be supplanted by
self7Supporting annuity plans.

does not exceed $4,000 in value
or whose income is not larger

This plan to run five years,
during which time States may
maintain a 70-year age limit,
but after January /, 1910, the
limit to be reduced to 65 years.
For those under 65, q COM
pulsory system Of contribution
from pay is recommended.
The average contribution is set
at l per cent of payroll divided
equally between employers and
employees, to be increased by
l per cent each five years,
until maximum of S per cent
is reached in 20 years.
The compulsory contributory
plan covers all workers under
$3.50 monthly except those in
Government units and under
the railroad retirement law.
For those reaching retirement
age after first six years, with
contributions paid 1887 to 194l,

pay per month.
For those retiring in next
