SOCIAL SECURITY OR
INSECURITY

The Supreme Court has just up
held statute designed to protect
American workers against unem-
ployment and helpless old age
the Social Security Act. A little
impartial thinking must raise doubts
as to whether that security is as
secure" as we would like to be-
heve.
In the first place, employers will
through taxes. provide two-thirds
of the money set aside for old-age
pensions and unemployment insur-
ance. The employees will contribute
the other one-third. 1t behooves us,
therefore, to consider the steadi-
ness of the source of the two thirds
of the money
Isn't it logical to assume that So
cial security isn't secure unless the
employers are secure? If the EN-
ployers are forced out of business,
where will the money came from?
When times are good, there will
be little to worry about. But Con-
gress has enacted another law which
strongly discourages the creation Of
reserves to pull manufacturers
through hard times. 1t has, in fact,
levied heavy punitive taxes on such
reserves. 1t is an admitted fact
that few employers, when another
depression comes along, will have
enough reserve to let them spend
more than SIG, 900. 600, 900 out of their

savings as they have done in recent
years. They won't have the savings.
Furthermore. it is now proposed
to lay new and heavier burdens
upon them by adopting shorter
week so as to spread employment.
Unless an employer who hires five
men to do the work that four did
before increases the cost of what he
sells, he will be put out of bust
ness. If he does increase the cost,
he will have trouble selling and
maybe again be put out of business.
When tax sources dry up, there
are no taxes. Unless the sources
of taxes are secure, there can be no
security.

SQUARE DEALERS
By Clayton Rand

There are millions of square-dealers in this country
who subscribe neither to the philosophy of the New
dealers on the one hand to the doctrine of the
dirty-dealers on the other.
Between the two extremes of the new-dealers we
now have and the dirty-dealers we had before we
got what we now have, there lies the safer saner
middle ground of national security.
%
There millions of conscientious square-dealers
in America who believe that in the happy medium
between our dangerous extremes lies the hope of
the country
One does not have to be either dirty-dealer or

Speed of Comet Varies

The comets speed varies greatly,
depending on its distance from the
sun. 1t drifts lazily around the outer
end OF its orbit. perhaps several
trillion miles from the sun, like an
infield fly at the top of its rise. As
the comet rounds the turn and APP
proaches the sun its speed grHduahy
increases. As it whirls around the
sun 1t is going at its maximum
speed, which is Of the order of 100,-
900 miles an hour. Then it slows
down again as it moves out into
space.

Sheik Honorcd by Crews

In de1erence to q strange custom
established by mystic sheik al
most 100 years ago, crews OF Nile
steamers always drop a small bag
into a boat which regularly puts
out from shore near the village OF
Hu, generally reached on the sixth
day OF a voyage from Cairo. The
tradition originated with what is
believed to have been the strange
power Of the Sheik Selim over river
navigation. For fifty-three years he
sat naked on the river bank in
religious meditation. His favor was
believed to speed vessels on their
passage up the river, and his dis
favor to retard them.

A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PLACE.

A humorous lecturer once said
the most dangerous place in the
world is in bed, for the reason that
more people die there than any
where else.
Now it is being said that the
home is highly dangerous place
and that more fatal accidents occur
in the home than in industry Hard
to believe isn't it? But read what
DR.. J. T. Slocum director of re-
search of national organization,
has to say.
accidents in the United States is
around $4,000 annually. This is
nearly twice the number occurring
in all industries combined The
risk from home injuries is seven
times as great as that ON BUSES,
taxicabs, boats, airplanes and other
public conveyances.
The hazards that cause acciden-
tai deaths in the homes are greater
than those of the supposedly con-
tagious diseases, including diphther-
la, smallpox, scarlet fever, and pneu-
monia. Odd as it appears, father
is twice as safe IN factory or on
the street as he is in his own home,
and his young son is seven times
as safe in school as he is under the
parental roof.
Leading the list of home hazards
is the bathtub, which is the great
est contributor to death and injury
of present times. outside of the mo-
tor car Bathtub accidents run the
range from scalding to drowning,
with the simple act Of slipping on
a cake of soap causing death and
serious injury to thousands of per
sons of all ages each year.
Society has compelled manufac-
turers to install safety equipment
to safeguard workers, but in his own
home man is outside the realm of
safety measures, as rule, and per-
mits the existence of conditions
that would incense him if encoun-
tered In his place of employment.
Children break their necks on low
clotheslines, impale themselves on
picket fences. fall into tubs of boil
ing water, play with matches, while
parents stumble over bottles. break
their legs ON ice-coated steps, burn
themselves to death through fail
ure to repair defective stoves, and
chimneys An occasional inspec-
ton Of the home premises with a
view to eliminating unnecessary
hazards would prevent many pain
full and fatal accidents"

 Those in the know believe that Mickey Cochrane may yet hitch on his catching harness and work be- hind the plate before the season is over that is, if his Detroit Tigers get within striking distance of the pennant. Of hand, the possi- bility would seem remote but Mickey has made an amazing recov- cry since he suffered Q near-fatal triple skull fracture at the Yankee stadium two months ago when acc cidentally ''beaned" by Pitcher Bump Hadley. So you never can tell. For the first time since the in- jury, Mickey donned g uniform yes- terday and directed the Tigers from the bench in the first of their four game series with the Red sox. As he walked across the field during batting practice he was given Q thunderous ovation by the 13,O00 who sat in on the game. Cochrane himself says he has not given any thought to vhen he will return to the game--if at all.

St. Up Striker At Prison h Solitary Confinement

San quentin Priscn, Calif.. July 3l-(UP)-The worlds first "sit-up striker on Q pole in a prison yard" sat today in solitary confinement and tried to figure out a way to get loose for another crack at his former record. Last Monday, 23-year -old Meyer Golas, burgler, climbed to the top of an 85-foot spotlight pole and stayed there for 19 hours, eight minutes. That constituted a record flor 6 penitentiary competitor. Yesterday, he went up again but climbed down after sitting only a little more than nine hours. Cold fog and hunger succeeded where frantic prison officials had failed.
 It all started when Golas, was perched high above the grim. grey prison walls, demanded that for coming down he be sent to The Island" he did not specify what island. The warden refused to send guards up after the malcontent. He feared they or Golas would be in- jured. The prisoner had said he would "kick in the face" anyone who theatened his position. No one wanted to shoot him down. When he finally returned to earth on Mon- day, he was put in the hospital ward for observation. He later was released and placed in the mess room. That. said prison officials,

Exploded Within Thirty Feet of Police Station;
 No Casualties

Belfast, Northern Ireland, July 3l -(UP)-A land mine was exploded today 30 yards from a police sta- ton in Devonshire street, apparent- ly by Irish republicans. Apparent ly the mine was similar to that ex- ploded Wednesday during the state visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth.
 Today's mine blew a hole eight feet wide in the wall of marine store and smashed windows nearby. There were no casualties. mainly because the explosion occurred in the early hours.
 Republicans Blamed
 Police regarded the explosion as part of an Irish Republican army campaign of terrorism in connec- ton with the recent visit of the king and queen. The T. R. A." Is under e ban by authorities of the Irish Free State as well as of north- ern Ireland officials.
