Mr.. Olde Bye, who is also the
Duke of Rock Sound, was able to
knock off a 43 on the back nine
and still came through with 81.
Now that Atwood considers him
self as good as Willie Watkins or
Willie Kemp he won't be salts

or Red Mile MIR. Old Bye had
Mr.. John Pinder and his usual
107 to help but it was still good
enough for them to beat Mr..
Cookie Mesa and Mr.. Charlie
Ketchum by four up. So, where
as Mr.. PindeF used to be the best
and Mr.. Duke the worst, il has
now become vice versa but a lot

be considered ias it was hereto

intends to make a 80 but a few
friends want to know how many
times he will move his ball out

Defends Women

LONDON, Jan. 28.-1f a woman
is plump at so years old it is no
body's fault; but a man, fat at
the same age, is fool and bibulous
glutton. DIR. Leonard Williams,
British physician and author Of
several medical works, made this
statement at a meeting of the New
Health Club in London. The doc
tor is 76 years of age.
Fitness at middle age is a
totally different matter in the
two sexes, and all the votes Of
the flappers for sex equality
aren't going to make 1t other
wiSe," DR.. Williams said.
He was harShly outspoken on
the subject of the man who had
not learned to keep fit at so.
"He is usually the kind of fool
who is bald headed and pot bel
lied" DR.. Williams said, "a bib
ulous, glutto-ous, smoke-Sucking
beast, who deserves all he gets,
and more. of gout, high blood
pressure, eczema, and arthritis.
He even deserves a nagging

ASSETS DOUBLED
Assets in 1897 totaled $195, ,971,-

q gain of more than SO per cent
since 1929. Policy loans were re-
duced during the period by nearly
4 per cent and the mortality was
only 52.81 per cent of the ex-

cannot find this office, write to your
State unemployment compensation
agency.
AS I have already indicated. each
State has its own unemployment
compensation law, designed to meet
its own needs; and each State ad-
ministers Its own law, conforming
only to certain general requirements
in the Social Security Act. This
Federal law simply defines the broad
scope and purpose of our American
unemployment compensation system.
It also enables the Federal Govern
ment. through the Social Security
Board, to aid the States in several
ways-by granting them funds to
pay all necessary costs for proper
administration Of Unemployment
compensation: by giving the State
technical information and guild
ance; by acting as . clearing house
for the exchange of information
among the States, and by promoting
uniformity wherever 1t proves de-
sirable in the administration Of the
various State systems. In addition,
the Federal Government, as I have
already mentioned, invests and safe
guards the State funds in the spe-
cial unemployment trust fund es-
tablished by the act in the United
States Treasury.
Role of the Federal Board.
The Social Security Board has
worked hand in hand with the
States in what has been strenuous
and difficult undertaking. There is
no easy or quick way to set up and
operate effectively Job insurance
system covering millions of workers
and dealing with one Of the most
urgent of all human needs-man' s
need for the wherewithal to protect
himself and those who depend on
him against cold and hunger and
privation. Twenty-nine States are
already doing this job Of paying out
of-work benefits-not perfectly, not
perhaps even in the best way theo-
retically conceivable - but as well
and as ef1lciently and with as much
consideration for all the human val
ues involved as our present expert
ence makes possible. And that's say
ing lot.
OF course, we have many problems
yet to solve. One Of the most i'm
portant Of these is simplifying the
systemic make it easier for the
worker to understand; to insure that
benefit payments will be made as
promptly and economically as pos
sible: and to reduce the reporting

and record keeping required Of en-
ployers. The States. the Social Sc
curity Board and interested groups
Of employers, wage earners and the
general public are now working to-
gether on possible amendments to
the State unemployment compensa-
ton laws aimed at these objectives.
But with al due allowances for
current problems, let me say that
unemployment compensation is here
to stay. It is here to stay, because
1t represents a reasonable method of
utilizing our machinery Of demo-
cratic government to meet a WELL
nigh universal hazard. It is here to
stay because the mechanisms we
have devised are built on a solid.
practical foundation. The wheels
may have creaked in some places
during the early months. But the
lubricant Of experience is reducing
the friction day by day. Great prog
ress has already been made by the
States in selecting unemployment
compensation personnel through
merit systems, and In improving
their administrative procedures. And
II much more still remains to be
done, this is no cause for discour-
agement. After all, unemployment,
compensation Is hardly out Of the
pioneer stage in this country. In
all but one State benefits have been
paid for less than a year. The
months to come, with 20 more States
soon sharing and enriching our ex-
perience in this field, will unques-
tionably enable us to make even
more rapid progress from now on.
The States are moving steadily to-
ward improving and perfecting their
systems Of Job insurance. And in
doing SO they are steering their
course by the twofold purpose ol
this programme put people back to
work wherever possible; and where
temporary unemployment can't be
avoided, to pay adequate benefits
promptly to those entitled to them
The year Just drawing to 4 close has
brought us we'll on our way toward
this goal. In the coming year OF
1899 Nation wide unemployment
compensation will become a reality
and millions of wage earners ir
every State in the Union will thus
have some basic protection against
want and suffering when they are
out Of work through no fault OF
their own.

paid.
The experience of the 20 States
already paying benefits has proved
this to be a wise and necessary pre-
caution. Twenty-Five of these States
first began to pay benefits last jan
uary when employment had been
falling off for some time. The
backlog of several months unem-
ployment was thus Immediately
thrust upon their State funds. In
their very first week, they were con-
fronted with more than. a million
claims for benefits. The result was
that in about half the States with
drawals for benefit payments ex-
ceeded current income for some
months. These States were COM
PEELED to dip into their reserves;
but the reserves were there. And
during the last two months, as busi-
ness and employment have improved,
these States have again begun to
replenish their funds.
All the States, both those now pay
ing benefits and those which have
not yet drawn upon their funds, had
a balance of some 96l million dollars
in the unemployment trust fund as
of October 81. That's one side Of
the ledger sheet. On the other side
stand the twenty-seven and one
half million workers who have
earned wages in employments cov-
cred by State unemployment COM
pensation laws and may thus
be potential claimants for benefits.
The reserves safeguard their rights
under this social insurance system.
Limitations to Program.
I think this is pretty good place
to stop and explain why this pro-
gram does not cover all workers.
As I just said, this is . social in
surance plan, and Is such It, must

ployment. In establishing such Q

What Not To Do
ID Fighting over what now exists
instead of trying to produce more
is our first big mistake. Only as
more is produced is there more to
divide. If we distributed the en-
tire national production equally
among all the people, omitting
small children, it would amount
to only about what $500 can buy.
Here is simple problem for every
reader. Total the annual wages
of the bread-winners in your home.
Then take the number of people
in your family, less babies, and
multiply this number by $500. The
difference between these two fig
ures will show how much your
family would gain or lose each
year if the national income was
equally distributed. You can see
that we will never get far by
fighting over what already exists.
CD Trying to revive old indus
tries is our second big mistake.
would like to see the railroads
helped, the farmers helped, the
coal miners helped. and other
groups helped. Helping" these
groups by bolstering up wages and
prices, however, will never put
any more people back to work. The
trouble with our government fl
nancing today is that we are
spending two dollars to save one
dollar! Furthermore, we will never
get out of debt by getting into
more debt. Industries, like people,
have a definite length of life. A
study of history shows that pros
perity has come about through the |
development of new industries
never through trying to revive old,
existing industries.
