Washington, D. C. (ILNS). job
insurance benefits totaling nearly
$29 100000 were paid to unemployed
workers under state unemployment

Benefits first became payable in Is

More than 5,750,000 workers have
earned wage credits toward benefits
in the 18 states in which benefit oper-

The number of domestic customers
in that valley is over $50 per cent;
and the output of power nearly 800
per cent since the T. V. A. came in
The cost of domestic power in that
region before the 7. V. A. was 4.40 per
kilowatt hour. Now, the average paid
by domestic customers there is 1.99
cents per kilowatt hour

In Tupelo, Miss, in 1884 it was TAO
Now, it is 1.58 per XVIII.
Even private companies have cut
their domestic rates in the I. ". A

W.P.A. JOBS DOOMED

Washington, D. c., March 23.-The
w. P. A. informed it's state admins
traitors this week that they would have
to throw 100000 persons off work re-
lief during the week beginning April
8 unless Congress appropriated addi-
tional funds before then.
Col. F. C. Harrington, the w. P. A.
administrator, made public state
by-state list of the reductions he said
would have to be made in the rolls if
Congress failed to act.
The list was issued while President
Roosevelt was trying to obtain from
the legislature an additional appropri-
alton of $150,000,000 to carry on work
relief to July /. His request for this
sum was refused earlier this session.

FRIDAY, MARCH "a, 1889.
THE GROWING LOVE OF MUSIC

A report by Nikolai Sokoloff, direc
tor of the Federal Music Project Of
the w. P. A., gives some startling fig.
ures on the work of that project since
it's beginning in October, 1885, say
three and one-half years ago. 1t has
presented 6,772 compositions of Amer
lean composers, born or living in this
country, lila who are living here yet
Mrs. Florence Kerr, figuring out the
audiences, concludes that no less than
12S,268,000 persons have heard the
programs or other musical perform
ances since they started in 1885, in
Guiding 1889 orchestra programs.
Unless these figures seem to as
sumo astronomical proportions" DR.
Sokoloff says in his report, ''it must
be remembered that single program
by the Wisconsin Federal Symphony
Orchestra last August drew 10000
persons to a Milwaukee park, and a
series of symphony programs in San
Francisco averaged 1000 listeners for
each concert. Outdoor performances
of Savoy opera in Cincinnati were
heard by $4,000 in a two-weeks' run,
and nightly audiences of 1000 are not
unusual during the summer. A band
concert by an Ohio unit attracted
10000 persons.
There is evidence of a great eager
ness for music on the part of the
American people, and this is attested
by the fact that multitudes go to the
Projects concerts again and again
Many of these have had the oppor-
tunity of hearing living music for the
first time, and it is certain that sig
nifcant new audience structure, a
body of concert regulars and music
lovers, is in the making"

Adolf Hitler has advanced another
stage in his march toward the east.
Almost exactly year ago, he seized
Austria. Less than six months ago,
he bluffed England and France at
Munich, and reduced Czechoslovakia
to a helpless vassal; which now he
has rearranged to suit himself.
In one year, Hitler has added to his
domain well over $4,000 square miles
and 2O,OOo,O00 people. Roughly, this
is an area equal to that OF Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio; and population
equal to that of those two states with
that of Massachusetts thrown in.
1t is useless to crate about the viii
lainy of this performance. That is
clear to every sane person. 1t is well,
however, to remember that before he
had been in power in Germany six
months, Hitler had destroyed the la
Dor unions, confiscated their treas
uries, thrown thousands of German
labor leaders in o concentration
camps; and launched with full force
his persecution of the Jews.
Austria was seized in March, 1888
and the best information is that more
than 1000 Austrian Jews had com
mitted suicide by the end of April. Or
March 19, there were Sd suicide funer
ais in Vienna, and on March 21, 112
If half of these were Jews, the figur'
of 1000 Jewish suicides is moderate

Full Crew Law Held Invalid

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS).-The Dau-

constitutional the state full crew rail
road law, requiring extra brakemen
on passenger trains of 10 or more cars
and freight trains of more than SO

The law, supported by the railroad

constitutionality.

"The United States enjoyed in 1888
it's second yearly decrease in motor
vehicle fatalities in more than -four
decades of automobile transportation
and it's lowest traffic death total since
the depression years of 1882 and 1888
This record is heartening.
"But the death total remains far

That's what President Roosevelt had

Merchants and landlords, in gen

enough thought to the matter empha-

their attention.

He says over a million men and
women will have to be discharged by
the relief agency unless the increased
amount is authorized He estimates
discharge of million or more persons
would affect some 100000 in all.
Congress, which isn't satisfied with
the working of w. P. A., balked once
before on the $150,000,000 additional
appropriation and might do SO again.

Radiant Living
AS HE WAS
PRAYING
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor Of
Deals Island, Maryland

Has it ever occurred to you that
there is a marvellous enrichment
that comes to us while we are in
the act of prayer?
This was the experience of
Jesus on the Mount of Transigur-
alton. The Gospels tell us that "as
He was praying, the fashion of His
coutenance was altered, and His
raiment became white and daz-
zling."
Did you ever notice the signifi-
canoe of the word, "as", in the
above Scripture?
While we will not be transform
ed as was He, nevertheless, there
is transformation wrought in us
while we are praying, that is, if we
are praying Alright.
We can not look at even a flick
ering candle but that its light ill
uminates our face. How then
could we look earnestly into the
face of God in prayer and not
have His light to illuminate our
soul?
1t is by the rays of that light
which shines into our souls while
we are in prayer that we see some
things in our lives which we ought
to change and thus as we promise
God while praying that we viii
make those changes, the work OF
transformation begins.
The transformation of Jesus
however, was different. His trans
formation was that of saintliness
suddenly illumined by heavenly
glory, a glorious transformation
attesting the perfect union ano
harmony of ones will with the will
of the Divine.
AS a certain one has beautifully
expressed it: "The more intimate.
ly soul is united to God the more
it views things as God sees them.
AS we pray, God speaks to us
And as we say yes" to Him, oui
souls become illumined and trans
formed. Bless God for those mo-

HARBOR BEACH, MICH.-The
Harbor Beach Resort association
carefully builds up the big bumps
on its private road each year. The
bumps are SO sharp that it is i'm
possible for drivers to go very fast
except at the imminent risk Of
a broken spring or skull.
The bumps, sharp ridges which
require almost a full stop at each,
protect children playing in the re-
sort from the accidents of thought
less or reckless drivers. In the
winter the bumps are allowed to
wear down, as only five residents
use the road then. But every spring
the bumps are rebuilt.

LOYAL LEGION GIVES
ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment of the Loyal
Legion of Smyrna on Wednesday
night at the Smyrna Opera House
was a very creditable one to the
painstaking ladies who prepared
the young participants for the oc-
casion, and the latter deserve COM
mendation for the skill with which
they executed their particular
roles. The entertainment consist
ed of three parts. The first part
was Mistress Mary and her Flow
er Garden" after the Mother
Goose Melody of Mistress Mary
Quite Contrary" &C., the leading
character being taken by Miss
Florence Hall in her usual excel
lent stage style, the other girls
filing up the rear space each rep
resenting a flower, their faces
forming the center of a large bios
som. 1t consisted largely of sing
ing. The second part was can
tata entitlqed the Secret" The
third part was an operetta entitled
the Lavender Village" This was
a representation of fairy scene
in which the husbands of seven
fair ladies were conevrted into
wax works and exhibited by the
showmen as notable personages,
and at last coming to Lavender
Village were recognized and re-
claimed by their wives. 1t was
comical in designs, as fairy scenes
usually are, and executed in decid-
ed skill for amateurs. Jay Smith
had the difficult part Of show
man" and Miss Stell Waters that
of the Fairy Aunt, the Duchess
of Tidytown," each taking the
character they represented with
admirable skill. There were 9TH
ers who had less prominent parts
who attracted attention for the
grace of their execution. This OPP
eretta was of itself worth the price
of admission.
