more than 100000 employers, only
IL per cent of the national total en-
ploying labor regularly or intermit-
tently, will be required to pay unem-
ployment insurance taxes. This is due
to the large number of workers ipeli-
gible for unemployment insurance ben
efits-including farm workers, domes-
tics, and employees of public and nom
profit organizations.
Since employers who employ less
than a stated number Of workers (the
number varies with the States. from
l to 81 are exempt from payroll taxes
the study questions whether employers
may not either reduce personnel
enough to avoid paying the tax" or
hesitate to employ extra workers."
Confusion Of Rights.
An unfortunate effect of the
exemption of small establishments
from payment of the payroll taxes)"
the study asserts lis the confusion
concerning the rights Of employees to
benefits. In some cases it will be i'm
possible to decide before the end of
a calendar year whether or not the
insurance benefiU applicants en-
ployer had on his payroll the speci-
fed number of workers in 20 different
weeks and was subject to the excise
tax. Until this is determined, the
right of the applicant Ito benefits)
can be questioned"
For the worker who wants tn hacone
his own boss and make enough
money to retire instead Of working all
his life for some one else and then
getting a pension, the study has this
encouraging note:
One out of every five gainfully en-
ployed persons in the United States at
the time of the 1880 census was either
working for himself or had other
people working for him.

THAI means war is coming, maybe
soon, and maybe little later.
For the Neexo the year has not
been especially Significant. A big
disappointment came ~ssn the anti
lynching bill failed of passage. The
Negroes plight has been largel for-
gotten or submerged in the exciss
sment over international events. The
ruthless seourage of the Jews in
Germany and Italy has had its re-
percussions among Negroes here.
Some philanthropic funds once given
to the promotion of Negro welfare
have, we are told, been turned to
the aid of refugees abroad. The
Negro has been left, in many in
stances, to shift for himself.
Relief continues to sap the vitality
of the race. The politicians virtual
" claim to own us through the re-
lief rolls, and some of our leaders
openly advocate making the dole as
permanent as possible for the group.
Worst of all, the psychology of re-
lief" which has gripped 50 large
proportion of our people is making
them callous beggars at heart.
In many respects this has been a
sad and disappointing year.
Heroes of Haiti
There has just been published
new book on the heroes Of Haiti
called ''The Black Jacobins", by G.
L. r. James, an EnglishJ historian,
from the Dial Press, New York. The
book paints glowing picture Of the
war and strategy, political organi-
zation and manoeuvreo which freed
the only Negro nation in the Wes-
tern Hemisphere. Mr.. James, ac-
cording to the New York Times, has
brought "a sense Of justice, love Of
freedom, admiration for heroism,
hatred for tyranny to the work.
The story Of the founders Of the Re-
public of Haiti is told with respect
and admiration for their greatness.
The author himself says: The writ
er believes, and is confident the mar
rative will prove, that between 1889
and 1915, with the single exception
of Bonaparte himself, no single fig
ure appeared on the historical stage
, more greatly gifted than this lTous-
/ saint L'Ouverture) Negro"

The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court that Lloyd Gaines,
q. coiored youth who sued for the
privilege, may attend the University
| of Missouri Law School, comes as q
welcome Christmas present to the
groupfin the field Of civil rights
In hardbitten, prejudiced Missouri,
it had been ruled by TIE State Su-
premes Court that the Law School
was a white mans school, The Us
Supreme Court, however, saves the
day by declaring that il the State
denies Gaines or his group the priv
/ ilege Of attending the school, when
their qualifications are the same as
those of whites attending the school,
then they are being denied their con-
stitutional rights Of equal treatment,
and the rule is invalid.
We wish to commend young Gaines
for his courage to fight the case, and
his brilliant attorney, Sidney r. Red
mond, who saw him through. Until
the rights Of the race, even though
they are established by the Constitu-
ton, are upheld by the courts, they
may be denied or attacked with inn
punity. And it is encouraging to
see that even though a State Su-
preme Court ruled on the side of
prejudice, the matter was not drop
ped, but was carried to the highest
tribunal, where victory was achieved
at last.
The Year
The year 1888 ends with less
promise fulfilled than was expected
when it began. The world little
thought it would see so spectacular
a rise of Force in international af-
fairs, as was evidenced by the bold
absorption of Austria and the dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia by
! Hitler's Reich. There is genuine
alarm among the nations today,
fearing sudden war or another
ruthless demand for territory by a
| Dictator, which was not evident last
January /. 81.
What 1899 will bring is specula-
tive. It might bring devastating
war. If peace continues, it will be
peace without peace of mind. Fol
| all nations are arming as rapidly as
| they can, including our own, and

Youngsters have their best chance
in tennis, the figures reveal, most OF
the championships going to players
between twenty-five and twenty-six.
Helen Wills Moody won the U. S.
Women's championship at the age of
eighteen. Tilden, regarded as the
"grand old man of tennis" was only
twenty-seven when he captured the
worlds championship.
But if your sporting inclinations
take different directions, the age
curve may rise slightly. Suppose
YOU have ambitions to be a cham
pion corn husker. Then the year in
which the greatest chances of sue
cess offer themselves is thirty. Pro-
fessor Lehman's figures show, fur
Their, that the best corn huskers
range in age from twenty-six to
thirty.

QUESTIONS

Sandwich Filler. - Chopped
olives, chopped chives, and cream
cheese make a delicious paste for
sandwiches.
Attractive JelIy.-A rose, mint
or geranium leaf placed in the
jelly glass when it is being filed
adds flavor and looks attractive.
Beans in COIOr.-Cook peas and
green beans uncovered if you
want them to retain their color. Be
careful not to overlook green
vegetables.
Orderly Bathroom.-Don't for
get to fold towels or hang straight
on racks after using. Nothing
looks so disorderly in a bathroom
as lot of crumpled towels.
Cleaning Gas Stove. - When
you've finished cleaning your gas
cooker wipe the hot plate and
bars with a cloth dipped in olive
oil. This prevents rust.
Reversing Mother Goose.-Tues-
day often makes a better wash
day than Monday, because Mon
day can then be used to pick up
about the house, sort clothes,
take care of stains and bad tears,
check laundry supplies and pre-
pare food for wash day.
For Mud Stains.-Allow the
mud to get quite dry then brush
with a clean, really stiff brush. If
this doesn't remove the stains, rub
them with a sliced raw potato,
which should do the trick.

Stanislaus Zbyszko was heavyweight
wrestling champion at sixty. They
might add that Big Bill Tilden at
the age of forty could beat any kid
in tennis, that Cy Young was pitch
ing star baseball in his forties and
Babe Ruth was still cracking out
home runs in his late thirties. But
the professor could answer that
these were isolated exceptions and
stand by his guns.
Baseball players reach stardOm
In the upper twenties, the Lehman
survey shows. The best single year
of the average baseball player, be
he pitcher, infielder or outfielder, is
twenty-eight. Some arrive earlier.
For instance, Bob Teller amazed
the baseball world a year or two
ago with his pitching at the age of
eighteen and Johnny Wander Nicer
pitched two consecutive nO-hit, no
run games recently at the age of
twenty-three. But by and large, the
figures show most of the best play
ing is done by ball players from rs
to 20 years old.

By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

IF YOU want to be a champion
corn husker, a star baseball play
er or an ace prize fighter, you had
better get around to it by or before
the age Of thirty. Otherwise you are
in the cold man" class and your
chances for athletic eminence are
practically nil. AT least that is the
conclusion of Professor Harvey C..
Lehman of Ohio State university,
who has made a survey of age in
relation to sports.
Sporting championships belong to
youth, says Professor Lehman and
he proceeds to support his conten-
ton with impressive statistics. Old
timers might contradict him by
pointing out that Bob Fitzsimmons
won the heavyweight championship
at the age of thirty-five and that

Prize fighters reach their peak
few years earlier than baseball
players, most of the championships
in the various divisions being won
regularly by boxers from twenty
four to twenty-seven, according to
Professor Lehman. The possible ex-
ception is the heavyweight division,
where twenty-nine seems to be the
magic year. Joe Louis reached the
heights a good deal earlier than
most champions. If he follows ira
dition, he should have five or six
par years ahead of him.
The Lehman figures show that the
average age of boxing champions
decreases steadily from twenty-nine
for heavyweights to twenty eight for
light heavyweights, twenty-seven for
