Recent attacks on Americas "ec-

Some OF millionaires who propa-

IN the brewing and distilling indus

times over for the amount they con-

Falsely characterized by wet prop

revulison to prohibition, repeal now
stands stripped of it's promotional
glamor. in the light of confidential
papers made public by the Senate
Committee.
Eleven wealthy men contributed
over half the sums expended by the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment in a campaign to make

popular" with the masses, and to

Billions of dollars spent for liquor

PEACE ON THE PACIFIC

When ten thousand persons of
one nation gather together to cheer

md unusual nature. Yet that is
what happened in Toxic recently
when the government called the first
Of series of Japan-American friend
hip meetings.
Coming at a time when the cables
are carrying disquieting news from
all corners of the earth, this
4micable gesture in Japan for a
warmer friendship with us is high
ly significant incident and one that
may we'll lead to new and closer
understanding between the United
States and Japan.
The Toxic meeting, prompted by
the government as test of popular
sympathy for an anti-war pact to
link the two nations, was address,
ed by many influential Japanese and
closed with ten thousand voices
shouting their approval of resolu-
lion declaring ''it is source of pro-
found satisfaction to the Japanese
people that ever since the outbreak
of the Chinese-Japanese incident the
government and people of the Unit
ed States despite an anti-Japanese
boycott engineered by Communists
staunchly have maintained a calm
and strictly impartial attitude"
The assemblage declared it's
promise to endeavor to deepen the
understanding and advance the cord
ial relations between Japan and
America and thereby to contribute
to the peace of the world and the
welfare of mankind.

During 1887, the American people
continued to show an increasing de-
sire for life insurance. More than
$1,000, goo, 900 Of new ordinary life
insurance was put in force. marking
q per cent increase over 1886
which was also a year of exception
al sales.
Since 1915, the total of life in
surance in force in this country ha
increased more than fourfold. The
end of 1887 marked an all-time
peak, with the total passing the in
credibly great sum of $12O,000,000,-
600. In no other country does the
average citizen possess SO large an
insurance backlog" against future
exigencies.

Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

@. 161 l will be SIS years of age
on March 3, 1898, If l file claim
for a lump-sum benefit at that time
must l give up my present employ
ment?
A. 161 Since you would not be
eligiable for monthly old-age bene-
fit due to the fact that you have
not worked for some part of five
calendar years after December 81,
1896. and before reaching age SIS,
you would be entitled to a lump-sum
payment. Since you are entitled to a
lump-sum payment and not month
ly benefit payments, you would net
be required to give up your present
employment upon filing claim
after you reached IS.
@. 1852 I expect to get married
and change my name. Should have
my Social Security account number
cancelled and get another number?
A. 1862 No. Call at or write to
your nearest Social Security Board
Field Office and ask them to furnish
you with a form for changing their
records. After you have filed this
form the records in the Social Sec
urity Board will be changed to show
your new name, but you will re-
tain the account number which you
already have been using.
@. 1853 How many people must
be employed in store to have that
store come under the Social Security
Act?
A. 1853 For the old-age insurance
section, one person is sufficient to
bring a store under the Act For the
unemployment compensation section
under the Federal Act, eight or more
employees are necessary. Under
the State acts this varies ac-
cording to the different States from
one to eight persons.
@. 1874 1 have just married. My
wife worked before we were mar
ried and had Social Security ac-
count number and paid taxes on her
salary She does not work now and
possibly will not work any more.
Can she get any money under the
Social Security Act for the time she
has already worked?
A. 1874 The wages she mas earn
ed will stand to her credit until she
reaches 65. If she should earn more
wages between this date and the
time she reaches IS, these. likewise,
will be credited to her account She
will not draw monthly benefits, how
ever, until she reaches SIS. Should
she die before she is IS lump-sum
payment equal to 3A percent of her
wages earned since December 81,
1886, in employment not specifically

RELIEF COSTS MOUNT

Congress is working out laws to
provide new relief appropriations
The large cities try to dodge most
of the costs, as do the States and
smaller communities. In the long
run that makes little difference be-
cause what the taxpayer skips in
local taxes he pays in direc. and in
direct Federal taxes.
We are beginning to share in the
belief of Harry Hopkins that FEEDER
al relief is a permanent thing in the
United States. "It didn't used to be
the case. we are told, to which the
answer seems to be: Eyes, but what
used to be the case doesn't 60 now.

IT CAN'T BE DONE IN
WASHINGTON

Taxes are too high, and that's a
complaint that has never run ou'
since the Boston Tea Party Bu'
some very badly misinformed per-
sons will tell you that Federal taxes
will be reduced by Congress this
Winter. Don't believe it for
minute. Taxation will be shuffied d
little, but the totals will be higher
than ever.
That's a simple problem in arith-
metic, and even the politicians know
that it's true. Economy and thrift
are impossibilities in Washington.

The payments of unemployment

The payments Of unemployment
compensation benefits by the State
OF Maryland to persons out of work
have now passed the $750,000 mark.
The disburing section Of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Board is
still working under high pressure
in an endeavor to catch up with the
claims which are still coming in at
the rate of nearly a thousand day,
to which must be added many
claims filed as far back as January
3. It Is hoped that in another week
or ten days payments will be
brought up to date. The clamor for
overdue payments is steadily abat-
ing. To date the figures assembled
BY Social Security Board show Mary
land near the front in the percent
ago Of benefits paid. The latest
available figures put only three
states ahead Of Maryland.

Poultryman, New Jersey College
of Agriculture.-WNUS Service.
When is the best time to fatten
cockerels to market direct to butch
er shops, hotels and homes? The
answer is: For most economical
gains in weight, fatten them at eight
weeks of age. For best quality meat,
fatten them between the ages of IL
and 20 weeks.
The United States Department of
Agriculture found that when cock
erels were fattened for two weeks
beginning at the age of eight weeks,
they gained about 48 per cent in
weight, compared with weight
gain of about 10 per cent in two
week fattening period beginning at
20 weeks Of age. Between the ages
of IL and 20 weeks, the older the
cockerels were when fattened the
less efficiently they were able to put
on extra weight. For each pound of
gain during fattening, the eight
week-old cockerels required about
four pounds of feed, the 12week-
old ones about four and one-half
pounds, and the 20-week-old ones
about six pounds. The IL and 20
week-old cockerels had the advan-
tage Of larger proportion Of choice
breast and leg meat. The younger
cockerels had a smaller proportion
Of choice meat after fattening, as
well as before Cockerels Of all ages
put most of their additional fat into
edible portions other than leg and
breast meat. Only small part OF
the additional fat went into the
breast meat. The proportion going
into the thighs and the drum
sticks" also was small.
Cockerels used in the tests were
obtained by crossing White Leghorn
males with females from cross
of Barred Plymouth Rock males
and Rhode Island Red females.

Herds of "Super-Cows,
Government Program

If the bureau of dairy industry
reaches one of it's detectives, the
United States presently will have
half million "super-cows. With
the help of federal funds earmarked
for this purpose, and with the CO.
operation of state and local dairy
organizations, the bureau has
launched a project to breed 10000
herds of superior cattle. AS the
essential part of the program, it is
hoped to obtain for each farmer in
terested a proved sire, or the son
of proved sire, for his herd.
Approximately 10000 dairy farm
ers are now cooperating in the pro-
gram. Particular emphasis is
placed on securing accurate birth
records. Herds involved, located in
nearly every state, will be known
as "pilot" herds, setting stand.
ard course which the owners of 9th
er herds may eventually emulate.
The Department of Agriculture
has recently published pamphlet
entitled "List of Sires Proved in
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
TONS" Though the names of the
owners of the listed sires are omit
ted, a farmer interested can get
the information from the agricul-
tural college in his state, where the
records are on file. The publication
contains the names Of nearly 1900
proved Sires.

ACTION PREDICTED
House Leaders Declared Unable
to Prevent Huge Measure
From Reaching Floor.

BY the Associated Press.
House leaders said privately last
night they would be unable to prevent
a $476,000,O00 program Of Federal
highway aid for 1910 and 1941 from
reaching the House floor at this
session.
They added, however, they still were
debating the advisibility Of attempt
ing to reduce the amount involved.
President Roosevelt asked Congress
last December to help balance the
budget by slashing road apropria-
tions. Recently, however, the Presi-

grounds Of increasing unemployment
and recommended that Congress
double the 100000 road appro-
