UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSA-
TION
TION

About $4,000 persons are now re-
ceiving weekly benefits under the
Maryland Unemployment Compen-
sation Act, but each day about $50
beneficiaries are dropped from the
rolls because of the Laws limita-
lions. The final checks in each case
are accompanied by a notice form
the Compensation Board that only a
new claim can bring any further
payments.
New claims come in steadily and
for the first three weeks of April the
average was 7,747 per week. For
the last two weeks, ending May z,
the average was 6,644 per week.
This shows a falling off.
The Board up to May 7th, paid
out total of $3,S20,000.
Thus far the Board has received
few appeals with which to deal. OF
course, there have been many dis
puted claims from the beginning of
benefit payments but most of them
have been adjusted in the Claims
Department.
The claims received are now be-
ing met promptly and the work is
current.

Bias And Suspicion

Several thousand business men
gathered in the National Capital last
week and their discussions explored
every phase of the depression. The
National Labor Relations Board was
scored in many of the speeches. 1t
was clear that business executives
agree with Senator Burke of Nebras-
ka, who says that the Board has
shown "a strong pro-labor bias, and
deep suspicion and hatred of en-
ployers as class"
A lot of satisfaction was expressed
among business men when news
came from Kentucky that the Board
had asked a high court to reopen its
case against the Ford Motor Com
pany so that it might eliminate
certain issues as to the validity OF
the Boards procedure" The general
Interpretation of this move Was
furnished in a Herald-Tribune head
line: 1.-The Labor Board Pleads Gull

Apparently the Board is making
haste to correct the errors of its
ways before the Republic Steele case
and other issues add to the en-
barassment of repeating it's pleas to
the Courts to eliminate more is
sues las to the validity of the
Boards procedure.
Strangely enough the speech that
reduced the heat and cooled the ir-
rated business men was made by
President Knudsen of General Mo-
tors. If the motor industry that has
been the victim of the sit-down
strikes-the violence of which saw
the beginning of the depression
still has courage to view the future
hopefully why should the representa-
tives of countless other industries
and businesses act discouraged?
That was the reaction to Mr.. Knud-
sens plea to preserve industrial
democracy. Our country will work
out such Irregularities as may exist

audience, and added:

ARE WE A POOR NATION?
j. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., May, 17-De-
spite bad news on the financial and
business pages, and pessimistic
gloom on all sides, any orator or
political 'stump-speecher would still
be in danger of shower of bad eggs
if he failed to mention 1.-The land of
liberty" 1.-The home of the brave, y
with freedoms soil beneath our
feet"
There are something like 10000
900 unemployed in this country and
the berated Hoover Days" have
come again, under Roosevelt-al-
though the latter told us year ago
that he had brought the country
back to prosperity.
The Administration goes ahead
with a huge spending plan and a
mystified Congress hasn't made up
its mind whether to turn all the
funds over to the President or do a
lot of earmarking SO that State and
local authorities might join in the
spending. There are strong cham
pions of the latter method. They
are not alone in Congress, but
the powerful country press leans
strongly in that direction.
When millions are poor the mer-
chants and manufacturers sell less
and cheaper food, clothing and ether
necessities Sales of houses, auto
mobiles and real estate are slow be-
cause the public can't buy even on
liberal credit terms.
Bankers, business men, and politi-
clans in Washington know perfect
ly we'll that when the Government
doles out relief to millions that it
may be good for the stomach-sake
but that such a method doesn't help
the purchasing power bit.
Until the purchasing power of our
country is restored the answer to the
question: Are we a poor Nation
must be answered: Eyes, our people
are poor!"

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

Whose child is going to college?
Most people like to think that
their children will be among those
who enjoy the advantages of a good
education. We want our youngsters
to have better hope and dream
about their futures with comfort
able parental pride.
But that question, Whose child
is going to college?" will become a
serious one, if you take a realistic
look at statistics. One out of five
fathers does not live to see his
children through college, according
to a study completed by the National
Committee for Life Insurance Edu-
cation. OF the children under eigh-
teen years old left fatherless, less
teen ears old left fatherless, less
than one in forty ever matriculates
at college.
Only the most reckless gambler
would risk his capital on forty-to-
one shot. Yet that is exactly what
many otherwise conscientious par
ents are doing when they take for
granted that their children will have
the opportunity to go through col
lege.
Such chance taking is unnecessary
because it is within the power of
nearly all fathers and mothers to
guarantee their children's college
education through insurance. By in
vesting a few dollars every year in
an educational insurance policy, you
can pay college bills over the course
of years. A strong life insurance
company assumes the obligation of
safeguarding your children's oppor-
tunities no matter what happens to
you.
Any parent who doubts whether
higher education is worth sacrifice
should study the report OF the
American Management Association
of employment records. This inten-
sive survey demonstrates that col
lege graduate has sixteen times
better chance of getting a job pay
ing $4,000 a year or more than a
non-college graduate. That's the sue
cess side Of the picture
The case for college education is
equally impressive when we look at
the studies of unemployment relief
made by the American Federation
of Teachers. In less than one per
cent of the cases studied had the
father of family on relief been to
college for SO much as year. In
1857 of the relief cases studied,
the education of the father was with
in common school limitations.

AVERAGE MARYLAND FARM
WORTH S5,465

An economic study by the Farm
Security Administration in Wash
ington, shows that in Maryland, the
average number of persons on the
value per farm in Maryland is $5,465
and the average acreage value, $685.
81 Maryland has 3,9OS farms mort
gagged or 31.2 per cent. The farm
debt in the state is $46,67S,0O0 and
the average debt per farm, S3,356.
The study also revealed that truck
farming has suffered more from
changing conditions than any other
type of farm activity.
Delaware has 1881 farms with
population of 48,55S The average
number of persons on each farm in
Delaware is 46S. The average value
of each farm is S4,959 with an aver
age acreage value of S55SS.
Almost 20 per cent or 2,996 of
the farms in Delaware are mortgag-
ed The total farm debt in the state
is $10.452,000, while the average
farm debt is $3,4S9.
Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey for years enjoyed the ad
vantage of nearness to the New York
market. the survey report said.
But transportation developments
in recent years shifted advantages
of the "early market" gradually
down the Atlantic coast to Florida
The result: 1.-THE southern truck
crops coming on the market in
quantity before crops in the north
eastern area are ready for market
has resulted in the loss of the good
market advantage"
Conditions can be alleviated to a
certain extent through better mar
keting facilities, perhaps the develop
ment of cooperative distribution, +"

EARLY DIAGNOSIS CAMPAIGN

The early Diagnosis Campaign"
of the Maryland tuberculosis As
ISOLATION, which was conducted
throughout the state during the
month of April, reached several
thousand Maryland citizens and
brought to their attention the value
of discovering tuberculosis as early
as possible.
1.-THE purpose of this annual edu-
cational program" said William B.
Matthew'S, managing director of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
sis to stimulate interest in case find
unexpectedly incipient cases. Early
diagnosis is of prime Importance in
the fight against tuberculosis.
by discovering the disease in its
earliest stages it is possible to check
the spread of infection and prevent
serious illness which necessitates
long and costly cure.
knowledge about tuberculosis and
the medical profession, If they have
the cooperation of the public, can
eventually control it. Everyone who
has been in direct contact with the
disease and anyone who has any
reason to suspect it should desire an
examination. This would be safe
guard to the individual, their famil-
les, and the community as whole,
and is what the association is trying
to bring about by it's campaign" he
said.
In order to reach the people of the
state many meetings were conducted
at which motion pictures on tuber-
culosis were shown. Several talks on
the disease were also given. Exhibits
were utilized in few localities.
More than 1900 pieces of pertin-
ent literature were distributed
throughout the state. Several thous-
and more pieces were sent to the
various counties before April in
anticipation of the campaign. A
publication on early diagnosis was
sent to 325 physicians.
The message was brought to the
attention of the doctors of the future
by distributing two pamphlets:
What You Should Know About
tuberculosis, a handbook for tuber-
culosis patients; and 1.-THE Doctor of
the Future to senior medical school
students.
Radio was used by the National
tuberculosis Association, in coopera-
ton with the 1000 state and local
associations, to bring the message
into as many homes as possible.
"The program was very compre-
hensive," Mr.. Matthews said, "and
should have done much to awaken
the interest of the public in the fight
against tuberculosis. That some were
interested was evinced by the re-
quests that were made for further
information.
"The educational campaign of the
association will not stop with the
ending of the EARLY Diagnosis
Campaign, he continued, but will
be carried on throughout the year,
stressing prevention as we'll as early
diagnosis"
Twenty-one tuberculosis clinics
have been scheduled in the counties
for May. These are diagnostic clinics
and are held by the association in
cooperation with the State Depart
ment of Health.
