UNEMPLeTAEST CEALas no
BE RECEIVED JANUARY ;

On January 8. 1888, Delaware win
begin receiving claims for Unem-
ployment Compensation dement's
These claims must be filed at an Of
fee Of the Delaware State Employ
ment Service and claimants must
continue to report there weekly
during the duration of the term in
which they are receiving benefits.
In anticipation of large number
of unemployed workers filing claims,
the State Employment Service has
secured new quarters and increased
their personnel to handle claims as
quickly and as efficiently as possible.
During the past few weeks employ
ees of the service have been in
structed in completing the necessary
forms and the procedure to be fol-
lowed in paying claims. One of the
provisions of the Delaware Law is
that every person applying for Un-I
employment Compensation benefits
must be registered with the Deia-
ware State Employment Service.
Persons who anticipate filing al
claim and who have not already reg
istered with the service viii find it
to their advantage to register before
the first OF the year. Registration at
this time will avoid delay when fl
ing their benefit claim.
At the time Of filing a claim.
claimants should be prepared to
submit the following information
Name. present address including the /
street and number or rural route
number. social security account
number, no claim will be accepted
without this number. Persons who
have lost or mislaid their social Sc
eurity account number should con-

JAPAN HAS 100000 "UNKNOWN
SOLDIERS" WRITER DECLARES

More than 100000 homes i'm Japan
now harbor shrines to unknown sol
diers which their owners mistakenly
believe to contain the ashes of the
son Of the family, according to w. B.
Courtney. associate editor of Golfers
who recently returned from covering
the war in Asia.
In humble homes all over Japan
are enshrined small white boxes pre-
sumably containing the ashes of a
soldier son killed in action in China, -
Courtney says. But the fact is. al
though Japanese officials will deny it.
that these boxes are likely to con-
tain the ashes of a Chinese soldier, a
MOngolian pony or even a Missouri
mule.
1T may be that when Japanese SOL
diers die in hospitals their ashes ac-
tually are returned to their families.
But when they are killed at the front
their bodies, together with the bodies
of Chinese and, under stress of rapid
campaigning. even dead draft ami
mails. are burned together in a great
pyre. Then a sufficient quantity of
the blended remains are shoveled
into the little white boxes for ship
ment to Japan"
In an article in the current Col
lier's, Courtney tells the story of
typical Japanese peasant family
which has lost a son in the war. Each
such family. he says. gets 1000 yen
from the privy purse of the imperial
household and another 1900 from
the government, in addition TO the
white box. And each bereaved moth
er is officially informed that she
should be the prOudest and happiest
woman in the village"
A great ceremony is made of the
delivery of the little cedar boxes.
each covered with white silk. Court
ney says, but adds that occasionally
skepticism is beginning to be ex-
pressed in private concerning the
actual contents OF the boxes. Dis
cussing in general the subject of
Japanese precaution to prevent dis
ease, of which the burning of bodies I
on the field is one, he reports that /
il reaches fantastic
heights. For instance. when the |
Emperor travels by rail, the whole !
line as well as the train itself is dis /
and all members of the /
train crews and station crews along /
The way are innOculated for typhoid |
and various other diseases.

more effective way of safeguarding

DARED FLOOD WATERS

Speeding toward almost certain
disaster, a west-bound Southern Pa
cific train was racing mile after mile
through the black night of SeptenI-
ber 10, 1921. No one aboard was
aware of the imminent danger which
lay just ahead. The throttle of the
engine was wide. Death rode the
pilot.
rOrrential rains had drenched the
country near San Antonio and many
Of the lowlands were flooded, mem
acing lives and property. Few per-
sons knew that food waters in that
vicinity had made travel by rail eX-
tremely dangerous.
On the railroad right of way lay
a tangled and twisted train, the re-
suit of a wash-out on the track. A
swollen river barred access to the
farther shore and shut of all means
of warning another east-bound train
rushing to its doom.
Faced by this dilemma and the
knowledge that the oncoming train
was drawing nearer every moment,
call was made for volunteers 10
swim the river. William A. Redd,
Jr., a former U. S. Marine, who was
one of the passengers on the wreck
ed train, Immediately responded.
No precious seconds were lost
while Redd swan the stream, sig
nailed the train and swan back. La
ter he made a second trip to bring
aid to the injured fireman of the
wrecked train, twice risking his life
to perform a service for his fellow
man.
Honors were heaped upon Redd
for his feat, and the late President
Harding wrote him that his deed
was deserving of the highest COM
mendation." Denying any claim to
personal bravery, Redd said he re-
membered his training as a marine.
and that he could not have behaved
otherwise when the call came.

If Railroad Credit We're
Restored

If the problems of the nations
railroads are 10 be solved, the entire
plan of regulation will have to be
revised. 1t can never be solved un-
der the present scheme Of granting
huge direct and indirect subsidies ta
the lines principal competitors.
That is the opinion OF Fred W.
Sargent, President of the Chicago
and North Western Railway, as ex-
pressed in a recent talk.
"Try to visualize what a change
would come over America if the
credit of the railroads were restored
in full vigor tomorrow" Mr.. Sar-
gent continued. 1T would mean in
large measure the difference, be-
tween prosperity and depression. 1t
would mean jobs for additional hun
dTeds of thousands of men and wo-
men.
From the studies l have caused
to be made, l am satisfied that the
railroads could use to good advan-
tage, even under present conditions.
several hundred thousand more en-
ployees than are now on their pay
rolls. If their credit were restored
so that they could go forward with
their purchases, it would mean, also,
the restoration of jobs for many
thousands in the factories and sup
ply houses that furnish the mater
ials to the railroads.
"If the credit of the railroads
could be restored tomorrow it
would mean the starting of factories
now closed. the blowing-in of new
furnaces in the steel mills, and the
restoration OF the security for old 1
age for thousands of men and wo-
men who put their savings into rail-
road stocks and bonds to provide
source of income for their declining
years"
The issue is now squarely in the
lap of Congress. Only Congress can
break the lOgjam of accumulated re-
regulations and laws
which have finally brought the Am
srican railroad industry to it's knees.
All it now asks is an equal chance
or it's life, the same as any other
business. Don't keep this industrial
giant tied hand and foot and expect
t to survive. Loosen its bonds so il
an go to work for the benefit of the
Whole nation.

Advertising Dairy
Products

Through a national campaign
now being worked out Il is
hoped that $I.OOO,0OO will be raised
for an advertising campaign next
year to boost dairy products.
'Once dairy farmers can be assur-
ed OF fairly decent milk prices in
line with production costs, they can
well afford to spend a reasonable
amount of money advertising the
greatest agricultural industry in the

L. B. B.: Please give me some
advice regarding the complicated
state of affairs existing in my life
and home.
Ans: Your condition does not
differ greatly from that faced by
most girls of your age. Faced with
the entirely natural desires of life,
you are nevertheless baked by
your own better judgment. Do not
give in to the boy under any cir
cumstances nor upon receipt of any
promise. Obey your grandfather
when he is right =. humOr him
when he seems to be unfair.
M. R.: Please tell me if 1 will
be successful in getting what I am
expecting?
Ans: I fear that you are due to
be a bit disappointed regarding the
naturalization of your expecta-
tiOns. Although you will get some
part . it will be such a small part
of the whole that there will not be
much joy for you in receiving it.
There will be other days and other
desires realized to compensate you
for this disappointment.
C.. M. S.: What causes nv
mother to hate me so much? She
quarrels with me continuously.
Ans: Your mother does not hate
you. She is getting on in years,
and her health being none too good,
she is seldom in a very pleasant
state of mind. Try not to feel too
badly about her actions as she is
not entirely responsible. .
C. j.: Am I to become a mother
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-10-07

soon?
Ans: Your present condition is
apparently not as you think it to
be. However, you should not suffer
any great disappointment in this
respect as it would not be to your
best interest to become a mother at
this time.
L. T.: My husband and I are
separated. Should I consent to his
offer to make another effort to-
ward marital happiness?
Ans: 1t is very evident that he
is not content to live the life of a
single man after knowing the joys
of marriage. Else he would never
have asked you to live with him
again. think that your own flu
ture happiness depends upon your
being willing to accept this pro-
pOsal and making another effort to
find the peace and cOntentment
which you failed to find in your
first trial.
L. W.: My husband deserted
myself and children several weeks
ago. I am a moral, Christian
woman and wish to live up to my
-oz TTyIo4 non ID -, EIoic ooca Q
Ans: If it were not for the
children 1 would advise you to
gladly allow him to go his way, as
it is certain that he is not worthy
of the love of a woman of your
character. However, the children
must be considered so make every
effort toward having him to return
home and help you to rear and sup
port your five children.

dorm in Florence, Alabama, son
ID of a Methodist minister, he
turned early to worldly" music.
Music never paid, and his strong
frame earned money on the levee
and the cotton fields.
But his ears were always open
to music, and the tunes of the
negro workers took form in his
mind on a grander scale, and he
began composing. twenty-five years
ago, he sat on a bale of cotton on
a Mississippi bank and with stub
pencil wrote on cigar box the
melody which has earned him I'M
dying fame. He published the music
himself, and after a hard struggle
sold a hundred thousand copies.
Photograph companies did not at
first record the song, thinking 1t
would die. He wrote among other
blues numbers, Memphis Blues"

Win With
Benson

The Farmer-Labor Party's
constitution stands unalter-
ably aligned against any kind
of discrimination, regardless
of RACE, COLOR or CREED.
The platform of the Farm
er-Labor Party, adopted at
the 1888 convention in Du-
luth, carries complete endorse
ment of Federal anti-lynching
legislation. It also pledges the
party to vigorous efforts to
bring domestic help under the
Social Security regulations.
Governor Elmer A. Benson
has repeatedly taken drastic
action in seeing that every
Minnesota citizen, regardless
of who it might be, has been
given fair treatment at the
Capitol. He is constantly
scourging prejudice. He has
seen to it that Minnesota citi-
zens of our group have been
proportionately placed on the
State payroll. He favors enact
ment of legislation to further
protect the worker and small
business man. He is for equal
enforcement of the law.
Isn't this exactly for what
we have been fighting?

Sewell on a signpost. It was
something to have got as near as
that without actual disaster.
The village itself was pleasant
and rather dignified one. The Gen.
trail street was divided from the
houses on each side of it by wide
grass strips. which gave the
whole place an air of spaciousness.
We were travelling through it at a
still fairly considerable speed
when Lord Simon applied his
brakes with skilled force, and
brought us to a standstill. /
Good Lord-look at that" he
said.
Now all I could see was the
quiet village street before us,
with very little traffic and scarce
ly human being in sight. There
was a butchers shop over to our
right, from the door Of which the
proprietor was watching us rather
indifferently. On our left was an
inn called the "Black Falcon, and
blue saloon motor car stood out
side. Next to the inn, and nearer
to us, was garage. But no.
where in the placid and normal
scene could I see anything which
might have caused Lord Simon's
exclamation. Unwilling, however,
to admit that was less percep-
tive than he was, I waited for him
to reveal more. 4
"That car" he said at last.
Surely you know it? Thurs

I looked again at the blue
saloon. It was standard model
Of English make. I did not see
how I could be expected to recog-

Lord Simon sounded quite irri-
table. "Have you ever heard Of
index numbers 2" he asked.
That's Thurston's all right"
I realized what I was expected
to say in order to restore Lord
Simon's good humor, and the tone
in which I should say it. Then
what on earth is it doing here ?"
I said.
Fairly obvious, don't you
feel % said Lord Simon. smiling
amiably again.
It was, of course. far from OBJ
vious to me, but it was pleasant
to have. our respective roles hap
