CHANGE in MARYLAND UNENl-
PLOYMENT COMPENSATION
LAW

Baltimore, March 31-As the re-
suit of the change in the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation law
which became effective en- January l
the number of individuals, firms and
corpations liable for the payment of
contributions has been increased
about AZ per cent.
This change in the law provides
unemployment benefits for those EN-
ployees in covered occupations whose
employers have from four to seven
employees the original act having
covered only those whose employers
had eight or more. In other words,
where the protection originally start
ed at eight employees it now begins
at four.
At the end of the last quarter. in
1897, the number of liable employ
ers was little more than $500.
1t is now about 800.
Baltimore City continues to have
more liable employers and covered
employees than all the 23 counties
Of Maryland combined although sew
eral large concerns are in Baltimore
and Allegany Counties. The counties
having the largest number of en-
ployers liable for the payment of
contributions forming the compensa-
ton fund are Washington, Balti-
more, Allegany, Frederick and Mont
gomery Counties. Two counties at
the bottom of the list-Calvert and
st. Manufacturing never had the
benefit of railroads. And they depend
chiefly on agriculture, which indus
try is exempt from the unemploy
ment compensation act.
While the first contribution pay
able this year covers the quarter end
ing March 81 the contributor has
until the end of April to make pay
ment. The rate this year will be high
er than IN 1887.

SAVE A LIFE

Motor vehicle traffic conditions i'll
the United States are so importan.
to the people of the country thae
there is always local State or Fed
eral authority concerning itself with
the various problems. The depart
ment of Agriculture has reported to
Congress upon the subject OF "oflc
ial inspection of vehicles concerning
the ''save-alife'' or 'vehicle-inspec-
tion-campaigns"
Within recent years fifteen States
have carried on an inspection Oh
vehicles. In one State more than 80
per cent Of the cars were found to
have faulty brakes. Lights failed to
meet requirements more frequently
than any other item in most State
inspections. Windshield wipers have
grown in favor, and added to public
safety. Two windshield wipers on
automobiles, trucks and buses are
now required in several states.
Vehicles inspections have become
a part OF the "save-a-life" activities
of several State Governments.
1t will be interesting to observe
whether compulsory inspection will
be worth continuing and extending
over new fields.

FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICS

Collective bargaining has been
made the law OF the land and every
one is now agreed that it is sub
stantial nationel gain.
The National Labor Relations Act
was intended to establish definite
standards for employers and en-
ployees. But everyone knew when
the law was passed that it was an
experimental measure which would
show defects in its actual operation.
There was not long to wait as there
were more strikes in 1887 than in
any year in history. OF course the
general public had no patience. ana
no sympathy, with the sit-down
strikes. The public reaction has been
aroused against the Maritime labor
disputes in which communism
threatens to rule the wave.
One of the labor bills in the House
bearing the endorsement OF the
American Federation of Labor pro-
poses fiat 40 hour week and
minimum wage of 40 cents and hour
for the entire country.
Unemployment increased LAZY 900
in January over December, bringing
the total to 10,342,000, according
to a dependable unofficial statement
Congress has lost most OF its en-
thusiasm for the Wage-hour bill. The
same opposition that has defeated
the matter in the past year exists i'll
Congress, and continues to be back
ed by the belligerent South-that
wants none of it.
Many members of Congress would
like to clarity their records regard
ing labor. Perhaps more than hun
dred House Members oppose bringing
labor matters up in any form. In d
large number of instances the Repre-
sentatives of the people are think
ing more about the elections neXt
Fall and their chances of returning
to Washington than they are about
improving legislation that has beeh
passed in recent years, or new legls-
lation that would better safeguard
the rights of either the employer OF
the employees.

CITY CHISELERS

More than 100000 residents of
principal cities are on relief and the
shrewd administrators of these
cities. headed by Mayor LaGuardia
of New York, are doing their level
best to switch as much of the load as
possible onto the Federal Govern
ment.
The Federal Government has a
perfect mania for taking over all the
control that it can digest, and there
fore it submits to the abusive habits
that are encouraged by the cities.
These same cities have the great
est taxable riches that are to be
found anywhere in the Nation. Still
some of them are among the worst
of the chiselers.

How to Hang Pictures

Prof Mary L. Matthews says: "a
few pictures well selected and ar
ranged look much better than
number of pictures crowded togeth-
Ell. A larger picture should be hung
alone on a wall space; smaller pic
lures grouped together. Small pic
lures that cannot be readily seen
across the room should be grouped
to 5ether above a desk or placed In
such a position that one may OBJ
serve them when sitting near the
wall on which they are hung. One
small picture hung alone on a large
wall space is ineffective. Groups of
pictures should not emphasize a di-
agonal line in their arrangement.
Pictures hung on the same wall
space should be alike in character.
For example, color prints look best
together, landscape pictures look
best alone and should not be
grouped with those of figures or Of
interiors"

low to Carve Turkey,
Beef, or Leg of Mutton

When carving turkey, as many
slices as possible should be taken
from the breast. Insert the fork
into the breast, then cut away the
legs and place to one side for
future use. Remove the wings, TAX
irg care to remove as little of the
meat as possible, then slice the
breast neatly and clearly. The stuff
ing should be cut across in thin
slices, according to a writer in the
Montreal Herald.
A joint or sirloin of beef may
be cut from either end. The inside
loin should be cut lengthwise, and
the outside loin down to the bone.
Insert the knife at the bottom just
above the bone, and run it sharply
down between the bone and the
meat.
In the case of leg of mutton, the
knife is carried right down to the
bone, slices being taken, alternately
from each side. When dealing with
a shoulder of mutton cut from the
outer edge of the shoulder towards
the bone, carving as many slices in
this manner as possible. Next cut
the meat on either side of the blade
bone, then turn the joint over and
slice across the entire length of the
shoulder.

International Relations

n EANY eminent people In the
MI political and economic spheres
L have for years been endeavor-
ing to place before a waiting and
anxious world constructive ideas for
establishing friendly international
relations on secure and practical
basis. But, so far, none OF the ma
terial methods which have been ex-
perimented with have succeeded In
breaking down the fear of agrees
sion, or the thoughts of bitterness in
the human heart. That these funda
mental errors need to be overcome
is certain, If the world Is to expert
ence the lasting peace and prosperity
which humanity has so long desired.
That there Is a sure way of solving
this most important of all world
problems Is unquestionable, since
there Is no unsolvable difficulty The
Apostle John in profound yet simple
language, which a child can under
stand, clearly shows us this way.
Tenderly he pleads q John Al, 81,
"Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and know
eth God. He that loveth not knoweth
not God; for God Is love-"
Some may say that love is all very
we'll In its very intimate place be-
tween friends and relatives, but of
what effectual use Is 1t between ma
tions? Further, it Is sometimes ar
gued that ideals, ambitions, and
characteristics vary so widely in each
country, that it is impossible for even
the closest neighbor to understand
another nations differing needs and
aims, and how to deal with them.
But are we not conclusively told
that love, understood in its relation
to Love, God, can overcome all bar
riers, and form that lasting link
necessary for world peace? 1t is the
unselfish desires and united aims of
men which break down the temper
airy obstacles of language and ma
terial tradition. In the first century
of the Christian era Paul discerned
this fact, for he wrote, whether
there be prophecies, they shall fail:
whether there be tongues, they shall
cease; whether there be knowledge.
II shall vanish away" But Charity
[love1 never faileth" Il Corinthians
1879.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science,
writes on page $40 of "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures:
lone infinite God, good, unifies men
and nations; constitutes the brother
hood of man; ends wars; fulfils the
Scripture, Love thy neighbor as thy
self: annihilates pagan and Christian

Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

@. ia What are the conditions
upon which lump-sum payments ot
old-age insurance are made? Who
gets that money?
A. TIA There are two types OF
lump-sum payments that can be
made at any time after January /,
1887. One is payment which an
eligible worker may receive after he
reaches the age of IS. These claim
ants are men and women who have
earned wages in factory, shop,
mill, mine, store, hotel, filling sta
ton, or some other line of industry
or business, included under the law,
and who have attained the age OF 65
since January /. 1887.
The Federal Government, unaer
old-age insurance provisions of the
Social Security Act, Is also paying
benefits to relatives Tor estates) OF
workers who have died and whose
wage earnings since 1886 in employ
ment. as mentioned above, entitled
them to benefits.
@ IT'S Is it necessary for an EN-
ployee who has reached the age Gf
65 to quit work in order to get a
lump-sum payment of old-age insur
ance?
A. ITS No. 1t is not necessary to
retire from work at the age Of s. in
order to receive lump-sum pay
ment under the old-age insurance
program of the Social Security. Act
Lump-sum benefits are paid to WORK
ers who reach the age Of 65, and who
have worked some time since 1886,
in an employment covered by the
cld-age insurance provisions of the
Social Security Act.
@. 176 If young person who
had been employed in Job that is
covered by the law should die could
the family collect old-age insurance
benefits on that account?
A. 176 The fact that the de-
ceased worker was young has moth
ing whatever to do with the claim
for his old-age insurance benefits.
Whether he was 16 or 60 makes no
difference. During the time that he
was employed in job covered under
the Social Security Act, benefits were
accruing to his account; and his
estate is entitled to that money. IT.,
for instance, his record shows that
the youth had received 5000 in
wages or salary, his relatives should
receive death payment amounting to
~ percent of $500 which is S31.50.

HOW

MUSKRAT HAPPENED TO BE
AT HOME IN THE MARSH
According to an old Indian leg
end, the muskrat gave great
service to the Sun-god during the
flood. So the Sun-god said: "You
may have any part Of the coun-
try to live in that your heart de-
sires." The muskrat chose the
lakes.
The next day he came back and
said: 81 made a mistake. !
would rather live in the grassy
meadows, where there is some
thing to eat" He was told that
choice was satisfactory.
The following day he was back
again. 81 made a mistake" he
said "There is no deep water
for swimming in the meadows,
and like to swim"
The Sun-god replied: Zone day
you want water. The next day
you want land. You don't know
what you want. 1 will decide for
you. From now on you will live
in the marsh, which is neither
land nor water, where there is
green grass to eat and plenty of
water to swim in" And the
muskrats have lived in the marsh
ever since.

IN MARYLAND ASSIS-
ED BY FEDERAL FUNDS

Aubrey Williams. executive direc-
tor of the National Youth Administer
ton, states S65 students in twenty
seven institutions in Maryland were
receiving assistance this year under
the Administration student-aid
pr gram.
The national total of students re-
ceiving assistance, he said, was APP
proximately one-third less than last
year because of a Substantial de-
crease" in appropriations fer the NY
uLCer the 1887 Relief Appropria-
tions Act. This years national quota
was 1898, compared with 124,S1S
during the 1867 school year.
Monthly allotments to Maryland
educational institutions this year
amounted to s12,975, Williams said,
and yearly allotments, $112.117.
The total included both college and
graduate aid.
Williams explained, however, that
while the quota of students repre-
scented a 80 per cent. reduction from
last year, the actual number of stu
dents aided during December, 1897,
was only 1926 per cent. less. This
was true, he said, because many in
situations reduced the average
payment of SIS on which
quotas were based In order to assist

Federal relief appears to be per-
manently established. Harry Hop
kins, director of that great Govern
ment movement protested that it
would be-but a year or two ago
no one would believe it. The recent
action of Congress in increasing ap-
preparations and extending measures
for further relief seem to prove that
Hopkins was right.
