RALMEN TO GET
JOBLESS BENEFITS
Wharton Says State Law
To Cover Them Until U.
S. Statute Takes Effect.
COVERS OVER 5000

A question over whether railroad
workers would be covered by the
Delaware unemployment compensa-
tiOn law was answered this week by
DR.. Charles H. Wharton, executive
director of the Unemployed Com
pensation Commission, who said they
would receive state benefit payments
II unemployed and otherwise eligible,
at least until the federal railroad un-
employment compensation law be-
comes effective July l, next.
Owing to existence of the federal
law, DR.. Wharton said, there has
been considerable confusion in the
minds of railroad workers as to how
the Delaware law affects them.
Until the federal law goes into ef-
feet. he said. railroad workers will
enjoy the same privileges under the
state law as other properly qualified
workers.
That is. he explained, if they have
in the first nine months of 1888
earned at least 13 times the amount
of the weekly benefit they would re-
ceive up to a maximum of SIS, and
are otherwise eligible, they will be
entitled to draw weekly benefits in
the same manner as any other un-
employed workers.
JObless Benefits
Just what arrangement viii be
made where a man has not exhausted
his benefits on June 80. 1889. and is
still unemployed has not been deter
mined. However. DR.. Wharton said,
the railroad workers will not lose
his. rights and he will participate
either in the benefit plan of the state
or will be taken over by the federal
system.
More than 5000 railroad workers
are now covered under the Della
ware law. DR.. Wharton said that
since there is rather general un-
employment in this field at present"
it is expected several hundred rail-
road workers will be qualified for
benefits under the state statute.

1899 WILL BE SHORT
VEGETABLE YEAR
U. s. Outlook Indicates That Tonnage
VIII Be 1915 Per Cent Smaller.

In a previous issue of this paper
the County Agricultural Agent, C..
r. Snyder, gave a brief outlook of
some of our crops that will be
grown in 1889. based ON the general
U. S. Farm outlook.
The 1889 U. S. outlook indicates
that the combined tonnage of all veg
etables for processing this year will
be 1915 per cent smaller than the
1887 output, and probably will re-
suit in a total pack OF important
canned vegetables about 10 per cent
less.
In addition. large carry-overs from
the 1937-3S season are on hand for
many of these products and probably
will provide a total supply only
slightly below the record this past
season and considerably above aver

"A meeting of representative Kent
county dairy farmers and members
of the State Board of Agriculture was
held i'm the conference room in the
State Board building in Dover on
"Wednesday afternoon, December II,

lens affecting the production and
marketing OF whole milk in this area

ment program for the county and

J. Leonard Soper. director of the
Bureau of Markets. who also offered
some suggestions in regard to plans
for increasing the consumption Of
milk as a step toward reducing the
surplus being produced on the farms.
The Importance of milk from the
standpoint of its nutritive value in the
diet was stressed by Miss MacDanald
who also spoke of the need for more
educational work to place these facts
before the public. II was brought ont
also that this responsibility rests not
only with our educational system in
the state. but likewise with local milk
distributors and producers. Prof.
Baker added to the discussion by sug-
gesting that greater profits could be
realized from the dairy industry If
the production per COW is increased
along with a limited number OF cows
on the average farm.
Those dairymen who were present
at this meeting included q. s. Knight.
Laurence e. Cain, l.. ID. Caulk, C. Ar

RED CAPS PUSH FIGHT ON
ROADS CHISELING

Washington, Nov, (CNA)-A rul-
ing by Elmer F. Andrews, admins
traitor of the wages and hours law,
against the railroad companies at
tempts to avoid payment of minimum
wages, was awaited this week by the
international Brotherhood Of Red
Caps.
The companies, which have never
paid their red caps, are now seeking to
circumvent the $11 weekly minimum
wage for a A hour week required by
law by demanding that red caps sub
NIT a record of their trips. The conf
panies then claim they will make up
the difference:
The attempt to have the public con-
tribute to the minimum pay which the
companies have to pay was also at
tackled as a move by the railroads to
cut down on the tips usually earned by
the red caps. Company propaganda is
trying to create the impression that the
workers are being paid.

According to popular theory, scent

however, the Importance of modera-

a scent that noisily announces your

Select Perfume That Suits
Select a perfume that suits you
and use it consistently. People will
grow to associate it with you just
as the scent of pine is reminiscent

Perfume is one of the most an
cient means used by woman to snare
her man. Famous queens of his
tory are said to have perfumed
themselves with glamorous scents.
They spent small fortunes having
their perfumes blended into special
scents to fit their moods and per-
sotialities. Fortunately, at this ad-
vanced day and age there are good
perfumes within the reach of the
most modest purse, and such a
great variety Of scents that we can
select the ones best suited to our
particular need without paying SO
much for special blending.
Floral Scents Now-Exotie
Perfumes Later
ANY advice I give you as to the
choice of perfumes will probably be
superfuous since you will select the
one that appeals to you most at the
time you buy. This much will say,
however: Light floral scents are
best for summer use. A heavy per-
fume on hot night defeats its own
purposes. A light touch of gar
denia or of carnation or the ever
popular and ultra-feminine lavender
will contribute to your freshness on
a summer night. Save the heavier,
more languorous scents for winter
when you are being your most CLAM
orous in sweeping gowns. Exotic
perfumes, rich materials, and snowy
evenings-these are an unbeatable
combination.
If you aren't accustomed to us
ing perfume, be careful how you
apply it. Better far to use none at
all than to 60 out smelling like a
walking perfume counter. Apply it
lightly to the lobes of your ears,
