Improve "The Little Red Hem

Back in the primary days The Little Red Hen
first came into popularity and down through the
ages has been extoed for her contributions to the
welfare of mankind. 1t is only necessary to glance
at the reports of the Department of Agriculture
on the value of the poultry crop to appreciate its
Importance to producers and consumers alike.
Poultry say that the little red hen has not
vet reached its pinnacle this community and that
there is still for flock improvement on our
farms.
For that reason business men of Sank Centre
as members of the Community Club are sponsoring
a poultry club for boys and girls, whose heroine
of primary school days that same Little Red
Hen" Girls and boys, who register, will be given
twenty-five baby chicks free, and it will be up to
them to raise the chicks properly.
This is being done to increase the poultry crop
in this trade territory and incidentally to improve
the quality. Local business men feel that more poul-
try money the farm will mean more business
money in the city,
Girls and boys urged to register for club
membership at once.

Ratification Over Century Late

One hundred fifty years ago March the con-
gress of the United States assembled to consider
amendments to the Constitution, commonly known
the bill of rights. This great document, the first
amendments to the Constitution, became effective
December 49, 1871, after due ratification by the
quired three-fourths states.
Three states Connecticut, Georgia and Massa-
not done so since. Now, after nearly a century and
a half steps toward ratification in the legislatures
of Georgia and Massachusetts have been taken, and
Connecticut may follow suit.
When these ten amendments, which include
human and property rights for every American, were
submitted the Georgia General Assembly in 1883,
joint committee made adverse report, as follows
Defects to the Constitution cannot be effectively
pointed out except by experience and therefore this
committee recommends that definite action be post
poned"
Seeking to end the $50 years of 'postponement'
on the part of Georgia. State Senator j. E. Brooks
recently introduced resolution for ratification In
doing so he said: Il reckon it won't do any harm
for Georgia to ratify the amendments, they seem
to be working all right without injury to anyone.
The first of these ten amendments adopted
as follows: Congress shall make no law respecting
establishment of religion prohibiting the free
exercise thereof abrdging the freedom of speech
of the press; the right of the people peaceaby
to assemble and to petition the government for a
redress of grievances"
The Mortified News says, This famous article
is perhaps vital today than at any time in the
history of the United States 1t typfies the vitality
and the validity of the nations basic laws"

Confidence Necessary
Senator Wheeler, Democrat of Montana cites
confidence as the greatest business need He said:
we as Democrats or progressves must admit that
there is lack of confidence the part of business
both big and little It is caused partly by threats
OF war in Europe and the situation in the Orient
and partly by internal conditions Unless the liberal
forces recognize the facts and seek to regain the
confidence of the people, will be supplanted by
reactionary Republican administration in 194O" The
Republication party would not deliberately hamper
business and it has realized for many years that con-
hdence is the greatest force against unfavorable
economic conditions That may be reactionary; but
Republican victory in 1910 may be the only way to
restore that confidence of which Senator Wheeler
speaks.

10000 Fish From South Seas
Brought Back by Curator

after emerging from beneath large
rock.
The Navy expedition left San
Diego last spring on the U. S. S.
Bushnell and after a stop at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, went south to the
Phoenix Islands. DR.. Schultz took
every opportunity to collect speci-
mems, with special success on SWANS
Island, Canton Island, Enderbury
Island, Tutuila Island, Rose Island
and Hull Island. The expedition
lasted five months and since his
return to Washington DR.. Schultz
has been busy unpacking and sort
ing the extensive collections.
Among the interesting mollusks
brought back were several tridacna,
the clamlike creature that in the
East Indian seas reaches size of
3 feet in length and weighs up
to 600 pounds. Those collected by
DR.. Schultz were smaller, averaging
about foot in length. The larger
specimens constitute a danger to
divers who unwittingly step inside
the open valves of one of these crea-
lures. The great valves snap shut
imprisoning the divers foot, and
unless he can get help, he is caught
IN the trap and drowned.

A man who recently applied for
unemployment compensation in
sisted that he had been paying the
/ per cent wage tax for more than
two years and now that he had
lost his job he felt he was entitled
to unemployment compensation.
The manager of the local employ
ment service Office explained to him
that the wage tax which he had been
paying was related to old-age and
survivors insurance and had moth
ing, whatever, to do with unemploy-
ment compensation. Employees in
the District of Columbia do not pay
unemployment compensation taxes.
It is only the employers who con-
tribute to the unemployment COM
pensation trust fund.
To illustrate his point, the mana
ger said a man who buys an ordi-
nary life insurance policy but car
ries no fire insurance does not eX-
pect to collect fire insurance when
his house burns down. Neither
should a worker who is insured
under one section of the Social Sc
curity Act expect benefits under an
entirely different insurance system,
unless he is covered by both job
insurance and by old-age and sur
vivors insurance.
Industrial and business concerns
which employ one or more workers
pay all the unemployment compen-
sation tax that is paid in the Dis
trict and only their employees are
entitled to claim unemployment
compensation. Beginning January
/. 1910, monthly old-age and sur
vivors insurance benefits will be
paid to insured workers IS years of
age or over who are ready to retire
and to the survivors of insured work.
ers who die. That is one kind OF
insurance Unemployment compen-
sation or job insurance is an entirely
different thing. It calls for weekly
payments to workers covered under
the State law, who are temporarily
without jobs through no fault of
their own.
The purpose of unemployment
compensation is to furnish part pay
to covered workers during jobless
weeks. Qualified employees may re-
ceive payments under certain con-
6itions and for a certain number
of weeks. These weekly payments

Appears In Role Opposite

Honeymoon"

Remember the little blonde
bombshell who played the role OF
the Little Dutch Girl i'll the re-
cent Cecil B. DeMille epic, THE
Buccaneer" lovely F'ranciska
Gaal? She's coming to town
again - with Bing Crosby - in
her second American offering,
Paris Honeymoon, which opens
next Thursday at the Maryland
Theatre.
The gorgeous blonde whom the
great DeMille has personally de-
scribed as "a combination of
Helen Hayes, the early Mary
Pickford, Elisabeth Bergner and
Clara Bow" comes to the screen
as "Manya,' fairest flower of the
mythical principally of "Pushtal-
nick" famed for its roses and
beauteous maidens. 'Pushtal-
nick" is the place where Bling, as
an American millionaire, has to
choose between Manga and gay
divorcee, played by Shirley Ross
to whom he has already plighted
his troth. And it's a role, &C
cording to Hollywood advice,
which fits her like a glove. 1t
calls for nerve. vivacity, vigor and
vitriol, because. you see, Manga is
spitfire peasant girl who knows
when she is lin love and does
something about it, in the man
ner of her glorious Pushtalnick-
ian forcbears, a rough and hardy
race Of mountaineers.
Which is right in Miss Gaals
line! Born the thirteenth and
youngest child of an aristocratic
Budapest family, she was expect
ed to lead the sheltered life of
her class. But she shocked her
family by announcing on her thir-
teenth "a lucky number for herr
birthday that she was going to be
an actress. She went to dramatic
school and, through a lucky break
got the lead role in THE Stupid
Man" which made her the toast
of Budapest
She went into pictures and ap
peared in such roles as "Kiki'
and a descriptively titled comedy
called Miss Paprika" Then she
was seen by the great DeMille
and was offered an American
contract.

RUSSIAN ATTACKS

FINNS SUCCESSFUL IN

quite a lamb-as dispatches con-
tinue to come through to this
city that the Firms are literally
pushing them back on their
heels" on all fronts today.
Stockholm has radioed that
their correspondents report that
all Russian gains made this week
have been cancelled by the Firms
in strenuous counterattacks. All
sectors, north, middle and south
are showing results definitely in
favor of Finland and complete
stopping of the Soviet attack.
Italian planes are said to have
aided materially in causing little
or no effect from Russian bomb
ing attempts. Thirty-five Rus
sian planes have been brought
down. At least $50 tanks have
either been captured or destroy
ed by the Firms.
