edition, in roto gravure, which is
| beautifully illustrated. 1t is made
up of nine sections, and for the most
part deals with the city of Colum-
bus. However one page of it is de-
voted to Morgan county, which in
cludes a half page of Rocky Glen
sanatorium. No other section of the

special edition. Illustrations are

Historically, Malta, McConnels-

its citizens, for with rugged courage
they built their homes in what was
then the wilderness Of a new world
Dominant in the character of these
people today are the principles OF
their forefathers They are honest
cultured, religious, humble, and in

being met, even assuming the pro-
gram will do the job?- Is there not
some other way than by contemplate
ing the largest taxing program in the
Nations history?
The answer is that, to q large
extent, the country already has been
paying these huge costs, but through
different channels. Federal expenses
for relief, for example, are much heav-
Ter today than they would be If the
security program were In full swing.
There is the w. p. A.. the p. w. A..
the r. r. A. There are private chari-
ties, local relief rolls. State asylums
penitentiaries, poorhouses, all Of
which the people now pay for. There
is the cost in hospitals. in health, in
productive efficiency and in misery.
What the security act does. It's ad-
vocates contend, is to collect as many
of these costs as practicable (per-
haps more) under one tent and allot
the cost of carrying the unemployed
to the employers; of the aged to them
selves, when they are younger: and
of the blind. the INDECENT mothers,

changed status of the modern family
and the pressure of modern industrial
methods. In the old days. when fami-
lies had 8 or 10 children. the aging

but, in many cases, their economic
foundation is more precarious, sub
ject to f1uctuation in the demand Tor
the products on which they are
working.
Again, in the old days. nobody was
out of job for very long. The coun-
try was expanding. 1t had not
reached its geographical frontier.
Now, since a young worker can no
longer "go West" he must share the
general fluctuations and insecurity OF
the matured economic system with
the old and middle-aged.

Why social security program now?
Why, at time when Government
spending is the leading issue OF a
presidential campaign, when the
national debt is at its all-time top,
when taxes are climbing, does the
Government, by an almost unanimous
vote of Congress, suddenly embark on
the most expensive program in the
, Nations history-a program that,
over period, will just about double
she present tax bill?
The United States. critics of the
Security act say. has done pretty well
all these years without any such pro-
gram. European nations have been
experimenting and developing their
systems of unemployment insurance
and old-age pensions for years. Why
rush an admittedly uncompleted
socio-economic conception on the
statute books all at once?
Is it just another brain trust brain
storm2, Was it politically conceived?
Was the law passed merely to put on
big "common-man" act and leave
. huge heritage of expense, or merely
to carry out pledge in the 1882
Democratic platform? Is it a direct
result of factors arising from the
depression?
Or are there fundamental forces at
work in the country making some
orderly program of security not only
desirable but imperative?
These are pertinent questions. and
there are answers to all of them.
They can be boiled down into one
answer this way:
Profound changes in the economic
structure of the country, which the
average citizen knows about but
rarely correlates. seem to make some
sort of security program inevitable.
These changes have little or nothing
to do directly with the depression.
except as the depression has sharp
ened the public's social consciousness.
The changes go deeper than that
They dip into the development of the
Industrial system itself, the biological
change IN the Nations population

moved from farm to city, and particu-
pie is rising sharply.
1t is estimated there are 1881 900
persons in the country over % ana

is growing older. Its average age in
1850 was l9 years. 1t is now 35. 1t
soon will be 38.
There are a number of reasons for
this We have virtually shut off i'm
migration. and immigrants are usually
young and productive. Families are
smaller. AS the birth rate goes down,
the death rate, due to increasing in
telligence in the handling of public
health and progressing medical sci

LEGAL HOLDS

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 25.-In behalf of "gentlemanly sport" the Michigan State Athletic Commis sion is pinning some legal holds on wrestlers.
 Twice since the State recently abandoned the "open door" policy on mat exhibitions, the commits sion has penalized wrestlers in an effort to reduce farces.
 The commission, under Chairman James M. (Bingo) Browns fight on "ungentlemanly conduct" fined Pat McCleary of Ireland $25 for fouling Ali Baba, recent claimant of the heavyweight title, and ih- definitely suspended Mango Singh, Hindu, for roughing George Dus- cite. of Boston.

Figure Experts Turn to Sports
 of Own DeviSing

PRINCETON, N. J., Aug. 25.- Princeton University mathematic- ians have evolved several games of their own. Although very popular in professional circles here, the games probably never will attain universal appeal
 The colleagues of Professor AL bert Einstein found ordinary diver sions uninteresting. Hence they turned to games that appeal to the mind steeped in the complex ities of figures and space.
 Among the first products of mathematical ingenuity was chess in three dimensions. The ordinary board with 64 squares was sup planted with a system of eight boards superimposed to form a cube through which chessmen pass ac- cording to their regularly assigned moves The added dimension pro- longs a contest to five hours.
 After devising cylindrical chess, and anchor ring chess, the fig ure experts turned to the Japan ese game of "Go," invented by the Nipponese Emperor Yao in 2350 B. c.
 This is played on square board with 19 parallel lines drawn in each direction. The two series of lines intersect 361 times. Around the intersections white and black stone counters are moved, 400 of each color. The object is to sur round with ones men as many un- occupied intersections as possible.
