WASHlNGION-ihe ooclal Sc
w curity act will be a year old
within few days, though it was
about six months before Congress
got around to giving the Social Sc
curity Board nancy with which to
operate.
The great systems of contribu-
tory old age pensions and unem-
ployment insurance called for by
the act are still in the offing, but
the immediate phases of the pro-
gram show some progress when
comparison is made WITH previous
conditions.
Fifteen states have passed I'M
employment compensation laws in
line with the federal program.
These states cover 100000, or
about As per cent, of the workers
who are eligible for coverage by
this part of the act.
Thirty-six states have presented
old age assistance plans which
have been approved by the board
and are now matching federal APP

COUNTRIES ruled by dictators
~ practically surround Czecho-
slovakia today, but still demo-
cratic president, with democratic
and liberal ideals, remains its
guiding spirit. He is Eduard
Benes, disciple of that other great
Czech patriot and leader, DR..
Thomas G. Masaryk.
When, late in 1885, Masaryk re-
tired from the presidency of the
country that he had organized
during the World War, Benes nat
urally became its next president.
He had become popular as
Czechoslovakia's foreign minister,
and had been known among dip
lomats as the cleverest of all. Now
all his efforts are bent toward
maintaining a liberal and free
democratic government for his
people, despite the pressure of
surrounding relationships.
Benes was born on May %,
1884, Of peasant parents. Clumsy
at farming, he was sent to school,
then to college, where, in a foot
ball match, he broke a leg. That
broken leg saved him from war
service for Austria Hungary, and
gave him the opportunity to work

Heated arguments between

pher. Chew charged that the
board had no right to employ
anyone to take notes on proceed
tngs at the meetings Of the board.
The county manager, he said, is
the only clerk to the board.

BARONESS DE CARTIER

Washington's social and diplo-

death of Baroness de Cartier de
Marchienne, American-born wife
Of the Belgian Ambassador to
Great Britain, who was a leading
figure in Washington when her
husband was minister to this
country.
Formerly Marie Dow, the Baro-
ness was native of Boston.
She was married twice before her
union with the Baron In 1919.
Her first husband, Elihu Frost,
New York corporation attorney,
she divorced in 1909. Her second
husband was Hamilton Cary.
The Baroness was the center
Of several international tangles,
one Of which arose from her re-
fuSal to allow the German Am.
bassador to escort her to a din
ner given by President Coolidge
in the White House in 1922 al
though she had been forewarned
such action would be an affront
to the President.

Every morning and night take
