Affecting 1000, 900 Workers, Will Operate

employees, an non-pront organi-
cations.
SO much for the old age pension
plan.
MANY GET JOB INSURANCE
The unemployed insurance pro-
visions are something else again:
Fifteen states and the District
Of Columbia now have unemploy-
ment insurance plans approved by
the Ssh. They cover about $780,
900 workers.
The act provides a payroll tax
rising from l per cent Of total
payroll for 1885 to per cent In
1888. The SSBs approval Of q state
law enables employers subject to
that federal tax TO obtain credit
up 10 90 per cent Of the tax for
contributions to their state unem-
ployment compensation funds.
The tax applies 10 all who en-
ploy eight or more persons for 20
weeks or more. The states with
unemployment compensation laws
withdraw nine-tenths Of II for their
own unemployed by collecting that
percentage as contributions under
their own laws.
States with such laws now in
clude Alabama, California, Idaho,
Indiana, Louisiana, achusetts,
Mississippi. New Hampshire, New
York. Oregon, 2 Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Texas. Utah. and
Wisconsin, and the District Of Co
lumbia.
Texas, a most recent state TO
adopt O law. provides for unem-
ploymcnt payments amounting 10
80 per cent Of full time weekly
wage with a $l5 maximum, after
q two-week waiting period. for
maximum OF Is weeks, with spe-
cial provisions for another 10
weeks.
Employers contribute from 90
per cent OF payrolls ON q rising
scale to 81 until lo4i, whereafter
credits are allowed TO employees
who have had little or no uncrn-
ployment.
MILLION ARE AIDED
Under the acts public assistance
provisions, more than 100000
poor and aged persons are now
receiving cash allowances. About
$8o,0O0.0 900 has been paid out IN
federal funds since February, 10
DO matched at least equally by
! state funds for old age assistance
! plus more than 100000 for the
needy blind and 100000 for de.

pendent children.

The other girl sobered. T know what you are thinking-that Bob wanted money and 1 haven't any. This time he did fall in love, Mar. cia. Forgive me for being so-- plain. He's glad that haven't anything SO he can earn it for us. Bob is turning out to be - swell"
 Then she was gone before Mar- cia could explain that she hadn't meant that at all = that she was surprised-she couldn't very well admit that she was delighted-that 1t wasn't Phil. But Phils luggage was going somewhere
 Marcia hurried to the desk.
 'Mr. Kirkby - when did he check out?"
 TWO hours ago. His bags are following him to Cherbourg. He's gone to his boat"
 "His boat? But there's no boat leaving for New York until to- morrowi"
 "Hes sailing to Rio de Janeiro."
 So Phil was leaving, believing that she had not cared to answer when he calledl He couldn't do that. He loved herl
 May I have Q porter in Q hurry?" she asked the clerk. And prepare my bills, please. I'm checking out immediately"
 Hats, gowns, suits, coats, those with Q Paris label and those with out, went into the bags. Toilet articles, stockings, shoes, handker- chiefs-they were packed in Q few minutes and the bags were closed. The porter put them in 8 cab and Marcia gave hurried directions.
 "The boat train to Cherbourg."
 The rain was falling in Q steady downpour when she reached the tender that would carry her to the big ship. The last-minute confu- sion of sailing was progressing 6 down. Phil had not been on the train and she had not found him on the tender. But he must be on the boat. Yet she had not seen him when the engines began to groan and the gangplank was taken up. The night grew darker. She climbed the narrow iron steps to the upper deck and sat down in lifeboat. When the confu- sion was over she would ask for his cabin.
 Then she saw him. He was standing near Q smokestack, hands in his pockets, eyes on the van- ishing coastline.
 "Philw She called softly.
 He turned, wonderingly, and waited.
 "Phiil" She climbed down from the boat.
 This time he turned and came to her. "Marciav" His hands held hers tightly and his eyes searched her face. "What are you doing here?"
 Sailing"
 "But the boat isn't going to New York, Marcia. It's bound for South America. You mean you knew" Her heart stirred suddenly under the gladness that leaped into the watching blue eyes.
 "The ship is going to Paradise" she answered. "It's Q wonderful place, Paradise. I've never been there, but once you showed me Q spirel"

knew that 1t came from Phil but she did not look back. "Nevel mind, please" she told the driver steadying her voice so he would not know that her eyes were dark with tears. T think we had bet ter hurry"
 There was no boat for three days she learned in Paris. She booked her return passage, and went shop ping, to the theater, to tea and din- ner with people with whom she had not bothered @ few weeks before. Il did not matter what she did if she could get through the days until time to take passage on another ship.
 The morning of the third day the clerk told her that Camilla was registered once more.
 "Oh yes?" she repeated. That must mean that Phil had come too, and he would see that she had not left. Never mind, she would not get in his way.
 Both young gentlemen are with her." the clerk added. "There is to be Q wedding at the American embassy at noon, but you prob- ably know that"
 "Yes, yes, of course,' she an- swered, ard went out to walk in the rain that was just beginning. She sat on a bench in a park at the top of c high hill. She climbed hundreds of steps coming down. She decided, too, that she would take her luggage and go at once to Cherbourg, to any small hotel 1t might boast, and stay there until the boat sailed the next afternoon at 6.
 It was dusk when she came back to the hotel. She stepped aside to watch Q porter carrying out some luggage. e. M." She read the initials on the bags. Camilla Howe. The wedding was over. She saw more bags in the arms of another porter. "p. B." So there had been Q weddingl Not until then did she realize that somewhere, in the far corners of her mind, she had been hoping that 1t might be Bob whom Ca- milla was marrying. She knew now. That was--something.
 Her feet dragged as she walked to the elevator. She could feel the water oozing in her slippers and did not care. A girl stepped from the car as Marcia waited for the passengers to leave. Glancing up, she saw Camilla.
 ''Marcial We secured the city for youl Wish me luck, honeyl I'm married, and I wanted you there!"
 T hope you'll be ever so happy, Camilla. I know you will. Phil's a darling" She wondered at the clearness of her own voice.
 Phil? But 1t wasn't Phil, Mar cia. married Bob"
 "Bob?" Marcia's eyes grew wider and grayer. Camilla, you married Bob?"
