STORRS OFFERING
 NEW STUDY PLAN
Special to The Democrat

Storrs, Jan, 11.-Non- academic courses leading to secretarial cer- tificates will be offered at Connec- ticut State college beginning next September, according to President Albert N. Jorgensen.
 The present plans provide for five full year courses with a total of 16 non-academic credits. Students who wish to qualify for a secretarial certificate are required to complete their regular academic work for a baccalaureate degree, the non-aca- demic secretarial work being addi- tional.
 Included in the courses to be of- fered are two years of shorthand, two years of typewriting, and year of secretarial studies in which prob lens and duties of the secretary will be discussed.
 Besides these five new courses, others which will be required for the certificate are the existing aca- demic ones in elementary economics, computation, accounting and busi- ness law.
 It has not yet been decided in which division of the college the courses will be offered, according to Dr. Jorgensen, but it is likely the work will be set apart from the reg ular divisions. New instructors will be secured to offer the courses.

OVER l,2OO FAIL
 TO FILE RETURNS
Employers Urged to Do So By Friday or Face
 Prison Sentence

More than 1900 employers in the state who come under the Connec- ticut Unemployment Compensation Act have failed to file complete employe information returns on a quarterly basis, Joseph M. Tone, Commissioner of Labor who is ad- ministrator of the act, revealed yesterday.
 He urged all delinquent employers to file the returns by Friday; stat ing, Without this information it is impossible to compute the bene- fit rates for many jobless workers who have just filed claims for un- employment compensation, and may result in a delay to those workers in receiving their checks. Employers will be able to obtain these forms at local offices of the Connecticut State Employment Service"
 MT. Tone explained that weekly benefits to eligible jobless individ- uals are figured on their earnings in the highest quarter of the first three quaters of 1887. Without CO1llp1SGe A1l1OII1dLlO11 Oll Qud1 Gcl1y earnings, it is impossible for the Department of Labor to compute such benefits.
 After Friday, he warned, all de- linquent employers will be subject to penalties provided by the act for negligence in furnishing any in- formation asked by the administra- tor and necessary 10 rthe proper functioning of the act. Failure to comply may result in a $200 fine or six months imprisonment or both, he said.

By NEA Service
 The most profitable business" in any city where 1t hourishes that's the numbers racket.
 The game that makes its owners rich from the pennies of the poor that's the numbers racket.
 A greedy octopus which spreads it's tenacles into every nook of city its slums, foreign districts, office buildings, even the housewife's kitchen
 Which collects more than $1,000,000 a day and keeps half of it as profit
 Which devours pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars into a gigantic maw from which only a few get back to original owners.
 Which gives the sucker one chance in 1000 to win, but pays only 600 to l or less if he does win
 That's the numbers racket as it exists today in the United States. That's the harmless" game which began in the Harlem district of New York and grew into a gi- gantic $500, ,000, ,000-a-year business" which makes so much money that it dwarfs the profit percentage of the most successful corporation by com parison.
 Who Plays This Game?
 To learn the truth about this amazing off-shoot of the American gambling business, NEA Service and The Democrat made nationwide survey of cities large and small. The object was to determine, if possible, the approximate scope of the num- bers, or policy racket; how much money is spent on it, how many
