S35O,OOO DUE STATE
UNDER HOUSE ACT

TConfinned from First Page]
ment. The bill passed by the House
would rebate 80 per cent of the tax
to states which missed the deadline.
Delaware became one of these
states when a special session OF the
Legislature called just before the
deadline failed to reach agreement
on a bill. The present state unem-
ployment compensation law was en-
acted at the regular session this
year.
Senate Approval Seen
Senate approval of the act is GER
tain, observers declared. MIR. Ros-
brow, who was connected with the
Social Security Board in Washing
ton before coming to his post in
Delaware, said it was generally
agreed that the states which enact
ed laws after the deadline should
get the rebates. especially a state
like Delaware which made an ef-
fort to reach agreement on a pro-
gram.
The estimate of s25O.OOO is tenta-
tive, MIR. Rosbrow said, because it
is not possible at the moment to
determine just how much of the
total amount Delaware employers
paid in unemployment taxes to the
federal government for last year
was paid to cover employees in other
states.
These funds. paid through the
Internal Revenue Bureaus office
in Wilmington, will be rebated to
the respective states in which the
persons covered are employed, pro-
yiding those states also failed to get
under the wire.
Taxes paid by Delaware COM
panies to cover employees in states
which enacted compensation laws
before the deadline were credited
to those states forthwith.
Money Credited to State
Mr.. Rosbrow explained that the
money would be placed to the states
credit in the u. S. Treasury and,
like other unemployment compensa-
tion taxes to be collected by the
Delaware commission and forward
ed to Washington, cannot be re-
turned except to pay unemployment
benefits.
The other IL states affected by
the House action are Arkansas.
Georgia, Missouri, Kansas. Nebraska.
Wyoming. Washington.
North Dakota. Illinois. Florida and
Montana.
The tax applied only to employ
ers of eight or more persons, where
as the Delaware law applies to all |

EUROPEAN TRAVEL

It is pleasant to note from re-
ports coming from parties touring
Europe that American colored c1ti-
zens are thoroughly enjoying
themselves abroad. To take a trip
to Europe is a mark of having
scored personal success at home.
The money required for the trip
is above the average amount re-
quired for pleasure; and the cul-
tural advantages to be gained
are unsurpassed.
It is encouraging to see that
Mr.. Adolph Hodge of Brooklyn is
making a success of his tourist
agency. A school teacher by win
ter. Mr.. Hodge is a world traveller
in summer. He is now on his
ninth tour, and already plans to
go to China and Japan next year.
When more of our people see
the folly of wasting their sub
stance in meaningless jaunts al
most within walking distance of
home, and begin to get a broad
vision of what lies beyond the turn
in the road, our race will be the
better for it.
One reason colored people fear
so easily is because what is out
of their immediate sight, is very
largely unknown and they fear
the unknown What lies beyond
the horizon is becoming of interest
to more and more of our group,

BEAUTY HINTS
By Nina Temple

An actress who arrived at the
fine age Of seventy five astonisfcc
her admirers by the youthful
beauty of her hands. They were
like those of a very young girl.
Upon being complimented upon
them, she smiled and said. II al
ways bathe my hands once a week
in olive oil, that is my secret. 1t

smooth. But I started early, she
continued, I didn't wait until they

selves of narrow provincialisms.
BUSINESS PROGRESS

Travelling through the South, we
have noted many small incidents
which point to increasing cons
ciousness of kind among our busi-
ness people. In restaurant in
Philadelphia waitress said: 'Try
this coffee; it is very good coffee;
it is Major Wright's coffee" In
Richmond, an insurance executive
said: This booklet was just re-
ceived from the press today. It
was printed by colored concern
who bid against three white con-
Germs and won" In Washington,
a circulation manager yelled to a
newsboy who had come to join an
outing group: "Son, as long as you
are colored, and the race situation
is what it is in this town, don't
you ever let me see you riding in
a white cab. There are plenty Of
colored cabs. Wait until one comes
along"
Some of these statements may
sound odd to Northerners, who are
accustomed to getting service
from whomsoever offers it to the
public, but to the South, it is
sound business practice to be
group conscious. It pays dividends
in many ways. 1t serves to make
the Southern whites give way on
many points, for they do want and
need business, no matter who is
spending the dollar. They are will
ing to make concessions to get the
dollar. If they find the sales resis-
) :ance is increasing, for any reaso,

Knife in Slot, Easy Twist, OF Comes Cap
HOUSEWIVES no longer need send
Il Il out an sos for two-fisted hubby
to put on kitchen wrestling match in
opening some containers, which, like
small boys, often stubbornly refuse to
have their caps removed. HOmemakers
generally prefer the screw-on type OF
closure for glass jars, but even that
popular cap sometimes is difficult to
remove.
This perplexing problem has been
solved by one progressive closure man
ufacturer who has introduced what is
appropriately called a knife-opening
cap. The cap is made of metal and
differs from other closures in that on
its top is a grooved slot.
To open any glass container equipped
with this type of closure, simply tap
around the outer rim of the cap with
the knife handle, insert the blade of an
ordinary table knife into the groove in
the top of the cap. This supplies the
necessary leverage to enable one to un-
screw the cap. To reseal the jar, screw
the cap on tightly by hand, or if you
wish, you may again use the leverage
of the knife to effect a seal as tight as
the original.
Consumers acceptance of this new
type cap is evidenced by the report
from the manufacturer that many mill
lions have been sold to food packers
since the first of the year.

It has been said that beverages are
The main stay of the hostess especially
when there are unexpected guests. 1t
is true that most anyone can serve
cold lemonade, hot chocolate, iced tea,
OR iced coffee, but the smart hostess is
the one who has list of new and in
teresting beverages in her recipe file
that will delight her guests, rather than
just please them.
Grape juice is one of the most versa
tile of the natural fruit beverages, and
from it many delicious drinks can be
made. Served plain or in combination
with other beverages, it makes a popu-
lar year round drink. Because of the
richness of grape juice, it will permit
diluting and thus reduces the proper
tionate cost to the consumer.
With the approach of the summer
season it will be we'll to check over your
supply of bottled beverages, particu-
larly grape juice, so that you will be
well prepared to make any of the de-
licious drinks that follow. It is such
an inexpensive drink and finds so
many uses in the home that no one
should be without it.

Perhaps the combination of ginger

But it is still as good as the first day
these two popular beverages were

chilled grape juice and gingerale results
in a most delicious and refreshing

ALL ABOUT ARMSTRONG
We should like to be talented
enough to paint the truly colorful
saga that is the career of the
California Cyclone, Henry Arm
strong. Out of the West, came the
1.-the, supple terror of the ring.
Slowly but surely his influence
was felt until the name of Arm
strong burst upon the conscious
ness of scribes and public bearing
with it highly significant import.
Interesting facts are recalled by
the writer about the copper-color-
ed boxer. At Vachon High School
on the south side of st. Louis, the
lethal scrapper was, of all things,
| poet laureate Of his graduation
class. He only entered the hazard
GUS field of "give and take" as a
means to the end of a college edu-
cation.
