JERSEY PASSES
JOB INSURANCE.

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. %
G.N.S).-Legislation to provide
an unemployment insurance plan
for New Jersey was passed today
by both houses of the State legisla-
ture, meeting in special session.
Minor changes made by the
State senate in the bill passed by
the house of representatives will
require further meetings of both
houses tonight to put the finish
ing touches to the new act, which
will affect approximately 100000
employees.
The bill, as it now stands, pro-
vides for employer and employe
contributions, Statewide pooling
of reserves, a Seven-man unSal.
aried commission to administer
the act, and transfer of the State
unemployment bureau to the
jurisdiction of the commission.
Employees contributions will not
begin until 1888. In the payment
of benefits, unemployed workers
will receive benefits for a MAXI
mum of 16 weeks in a year, the
benefits not to exceed SIS a week,
nor to be less than IS.

Cats HeaUy Feet
Ruin Mans Try
At NeW Fad

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22.-Next
time Wade E. Brown attempts to
place 10000 matches on the mouth
of a beer bottle-he got the notion
from newspaper accounts of sim
liar proceedings in Michigan-he
will use his cement-floored cellar
as the scene of operations, and
Danish the family cat.
The reason? Brown had about
5000 ordinary, everyday kitchen
matches perched atop an ordinary,
everyday beer container in a first
floor room when his cat stamped
its feet or, maybe, licked its chops.
The pile fell, leaving somewhat
of a mess. Brown picked up the
matches and vowed he will renew
his research in the quieter, more
stable surroundings of his base
ment.

500 MILLIONS,
DROUGHTPLEA
CONSIDERED
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A demand for $500, ,O00,0 900 addi.
tional drought relief today con,
tronted the Roosevelt administra,
ton as a budget designed to slash
governmental expenditures was be-
ing prepared for submission to
Congress.
Proposals for further aid to the
13 drought stricken States through
increased grants for both Public
Works Administration and Reset
tlement Administration we're being
framed by Senators and Repre-
sentatives from that area.
Appeals from the Western States
prompted formation of a drought
bloc" to make a campaign for aid
Repeated protests have been made
to members of Congress that ex
penditures for relief are being
slashed.
Durdick Leads Fight
Representative Burdick (R0 o1
North Dakota predicted that al
least $500,000, 900 will be sought tt
carry farmers and townspeople ir
the 13 western States through un
til the next harvest. He said
Confronted with dwindling
funds, Government agencies
have adopted rules which are
forcing many people off relief.
For example, if an old couple
living in a small town have a
house but no money, they must
mortgage the house before get
ting aid.
"The Resettlement Admins
tratiOn agreed to take care of
25O,OOO families but only $4,000
now are receiving aid. Officials
are cutting off people on the
ground that they can get along
without help. Grants have been
cut to SIT month in a country
where that much must be spent
for coal each month. Probably
$5OO,OOO,OOO will be asked to
meet the situation"
Senator Elmer Thomas, (DD o.
Okla. said that appropriations fol
drought relief must be increased
rather than cut, adding:
Heretofore the problem has
been to provide Jobs for the un-
employed, but now the problem
is to feed farmers and their live
stock.
CITES FALACIES
'eThe demand in my State for
relief will be larger during the
winter. There are $4,000 on
WPA and 10000 on drought re-
lief. Rules are being frightened
up. For example, if a man has
two cows and a Federal agent
believes that he can get along
with one, he is denied relief until
he sells one cow"
Representative Jack Nichols
Cd of Okla, who called a con
ference of Senators and Represen
tatives from the area, said that {
motion was adopted at a meeting
yesterday requesting spokeSmer
for the Budget Bureau, Farm
Credit Administration and Relic
agencies to appear at a meeting OF
December 80 to fully outline tn
Federal position.

Apples Are Especially Suitable Use Now
The Old Gardener Says:

Improved varieties of the Eng
lish daisy (Bellis perennis) have
revived the popularity of this
dainty flower, which blooms in
late May and June and often
throughout July. 1t is really a
perennial, but gives best results
when treated as a biennial. The
seed can be sown now, either in
an open seed bed or in a cold
frame. Where the exposure is
not too great, the plants may be
left in their beds throughout the
Winter If given a light covering,
but 1t Is better to Winter them
in a cold frame. giving them an
abundance of air, except on the
coolest days of Winter. In Spring
the plants may be transferred to
their permanent locations. 1t Will
be seen that they are handled
much the same way as pansies.
The plants are very dwarf and
have such a neat habit that they
form excellent material for edg-
ing pansy beds in the Spring.
They also look well when grown
in window boxes, and are some
times used as ground cover in
the beds of late tulips. Many
garden makers are also finding
them of value in rock gardens,
especially in the first season be-
fore the alpine plants have be-
come well established.

Babies Need Special
Care During Torrid or
Humid Days and Nights
In Prolonged Summer Heat Wave Extra
Precautions Should Be Taken for
Health and Comfort.

boiled water in a bottle and offer fre.
quently to baby.
GIVE the baby frequent sponge
baths if the weather is very hot.
If the baby has heat rash, the parts
affected should be sponged frequently
or dabbed with bicarbonate of soda
and water or powdered with starch
and boric acid powder (two parts OF
starch to one part of boric acid).
The baby should sleep alone. On
the hottest nights diaper and light
weight band are enough clothing. The
room should be made as cool as pos
sible. An electric fan will keep the
air in motion and thus relieve the
worst of the heat. The fan should be
arranged so that the air blows upward,
not toward the baby. The mother
should be on guard against a drop in
temperature so that extra covering
may be put on the baby if necessary.
Conditions vary considerably in a
country the size of the United States,
the bureau pointed out, and rise in
temperature from IS degrees to IS de-
grees on the Eastern seaboard is apt
to be just as trying for a young baby
as rise from 85 degrees to 100 de-
grees or over in the prairie States.
The humidity has an important rela-
ton to the effect of heat on infants.
When the humidity iS hiph tho I'll
effects of heat are more marked than
when it is low. In parts of the South
west, where high Summer tempera-
lures are not unusual, the relative
humidity is low, so that the effects Of
high temperatures are not so marked.
1t is during the sudden rises in tenn
peratures and prolonged hot spells
that extra precautions must be taken
to keep the baby well.

Sum m er
Sports Fine
Exercise
Most Natural Way to
Reduce and Keep
in Condition.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE good old Summertime" can
= be as good for you as you choose
to make it. 1t can be care-free, gay,
sporting. Or it can be lazy, inactive
and do as little for you as you do
during the warm months.
The wise woman gets a little more
exercise in Summer than during the
rest of the year. And eats a little
less. Which means that any excess
weight slowly but surely disappears.
The wise woman spends at least as
much time during the Summer on
her beauty routine as she does the
rest of the year. Which means that
there is no Summer slump to do dam
age and inflict more homework when
Winter comes.
The wise woman takes advantage
of the pure fun that Summer sports
present. Fun and spot" exercise.
There is no obvious routine in Sum-
mer sports. No one-two-three regi-
mentation. It's the sheer pleasure at
tached to sports that makes them so
much more valuable than a dozen
daily dozens"
Summer sports are, in word, the
natural way to exercise. I'm going
to point out to you within the next
few days exactly what golf, tennis,
rowing, beach games and swimming
do for the figure. And when you
have noted these things. just forget
that golf is good for the waistllne,
but indulge in the game if the waist
line needs trimming; forget that rope
jumping gives arms, legs and bust
muscles a fine workout, but jump df
your health permits: forget that
swimming is one of the finest all
around exercises, but swim to your
hearts content. I'm pointing out that
good in each sport so that you can
choose the sport for what it will do
for you-but cultivate liking for 1t
first.
Every woman Of every age should
have some form of pleasurable exer-
else to keep her physically fit, just as
every woman should have some hobby
to keep her mentally alert. Don't wait
until you are old enough or fat
enough to need exercise. There's every
reason for exercising fine. fit, young
body. To keep it that way!
There's just one danger involved in
Summer sports and that is a too avid
change from complete inactivity to
the other extreme. If you are not
generally active, take your exercise in
studied doses and don't permit your
self to get overtired. And If you are
inclined to be thin your exercise
should be light and should be fol-
lowed by rest periods.
Special Exercises for Relaxation
are worthy follow-ups after sports.
A self addressed, stamped (3-cent)
envelope with your request will
bring these to you.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

MILDRED showed signs of having
N a will Of her own at an early
age. Before she was she knew what
she wanted and went after it. Hel
mother wisely provided space for hel
expanding personality and offered her
choice between two equally good
ways whenever possible.
will you wear your green sweater
today or the nice blue one? Would
you like to go to the park this after
noon or to the river? Which doll
would you like. this one with blond
hair or this with red hair?"
Things went along smoothly enough
Under this scheme until one day al
lunch time. Instead of sitting down
promptly with the other children who
had come in, Mildred stood by her
chair.
Would you like to sit down now
Mildred, by yourself, or would you
like some help?"
I'm going to stand up" announced
Mildred. Her mother was bit taken
aback, but managed to control hel
features, and the children at the table
| took their cue from their mother
Lunch was served and the hungry
group ate it with appreciation. Il dc
like apple turnover, don't you, Sara?'
asked brother, who was beginning or
his second. Il could eat a dozen.
said Sara gayly. Mildred stood by
looking very empty and sad.
Mother dismissed the children anc
began clearing the table. Still Mildred
stood by her chair. AS brother wa!
passing her she gave little whimper
He stopped and said, Anything the
matter, little sister,"
IT didn't get any lunch"
did you want some? You just gc
see mother about it
Mildred stood by the chair until tht
table was cleared and the scarf anc
the fern dish replaced. Then she rar
to her mother and cried, hiding he
face in the folds of her mothers dress
what is the matter, child? What
wrong?"
"You didn't give me any lunch"
did you want any? You did no
sit down at the table. You did wha
you wanted. didn't you? I couldn'
give lunch to a little girl who stool
up all through lunch time"
I'm hungry. Brother ate all thu
turnovers, too"
We'll, it is too bad. I could man
age some bread and milk for you
And maybe there is turnover left
I'll see. Will you sit by the htcher
table or on the mat?"
"Ill sit by the table and be good"
Children like to try out their i'm
pulses. They want to see what viii
happen if they do something quite
new. If their trials are absurd to you
remember that they are serious enough
to them. Let them have the full
benefit of their experience and make
it as profitable to them as possible
being careful to avoid scenes, emo
tional outburSts and the like dramatic
Accomplishments. Drama is what thu
inquiring child is looking for. anc
you supply it only when it will hell
on the side of the right.
Such experiences do not harm chill
dren. Do not suffer for them, be-
cause they have to accept some of tht
consequences of their choice Of be-
havior. Your suffering is often theil
enjoyment-so be careful.

DAUGHTERS Will Find None More Expert

and when she sees daughter getting
starry-eyed and beginning to hang
around the telephone of an evening
she could give lot of expert advice
on what bait to use, how to cut it, how
to play her fish and make her catch
if only daughter would listen to her.
is 1T the modern girls temptation
that their mothers cannot under
stand? All temptations are old stuff.
There hasn't been a new one invented
since the serpent got in his dirty work
on a bored woman in the Garden of
Eden. The city slicker, the glib
talker, the man with a way with him,
the misunderstood husband, the
spender, the man who talks love in
stead of matrimony, mother has met
them all, and she knows just how ap-
pealing they can be and how easy it is
for a girl who is hungry for love or
starved for pleasure to let them lead
her into the downward road.
Is it the wild women mother can't
understand? Nothing new and strange
about them. Mother has seen so many
reckless girls throw their caps over
the windmill. She has seen SO many
girls who drank just to be good sports
and because boys wouldn't take them
out unless they did. She has seen so
many liaisons that didn't last, so
many women who have given all for
the sake of men who abandoned them,
so many bedraggled, whisky-soaked,
bleary- eyed women whose end was the
gutter. 1t isn't because mother doesn't
know what she is talking about that
makes her warn daughter that the
straight path is the only one for
women. It is because she knows so
well.
So, after all, what are these great
problems that confront the modern
girl that her mother is not intelligent
enough to understand? We pause for
an answer. DOROTHY DIX.
