DO THE BEST YOU CAN

When things go to suit us,
Why should we fold our hands
Any say No use in trying
Fate battles all our plans
Let not your courage falter,
Keep faith in God and man,
And to this thought be steadfast;
"I'll do the best | can"
If clouds blot out the sunshine
Along the way your tread,
Don't grieve in hopeless fashion
And sign for brightness fled.
Beyond the clouds the sunlight
Shines in the eternal plan;
Trust that the way will brighten,
And do the best you can.
Away with vain repinings;
Sing songs of hope and cheer,
Till many weary comrade
Grows strong Of heart to hear.
He who sings over trouble
Is aye the wisest man
lie can't help what has happened,
But does the best he can.
SO, if things won't go to suit us,
Let's never fume and fret;
For finding fault with fortune
Ne'er mended matters yet.
Make the best of what'er happens;
Bear failure like a man;
And in good or evil fortune
Do just the best you can.
w. J. GLOVER.

Housing Project
Given Go Aheud'
Columbus Slum Clearance
Low Rent Housing Will
Be Started

Washington, D. C.-The ego ahead"
signal for Columbus, Ohio, to begin
work on the "Champion Avenue" slum-
clearance and low-rent housing de-
velopment was given today by Leon
IL. Keyserling, Acting Administrator
OF the United States Housing Au-
thority, when he approved base bid
submitted to the Columbus Metropoli-
tar iousing Authority for demolition
Of m re than 300 substandard dwell
ings on the site.
The bid was submitted by the Cleve-
land Wrecking Company, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, which will pay the Colum-
bus Authority $l,676.
Occupying the site are 379 dwell
ing units in 275 structures, mostly Of
frame construction. All but "a of the
dwelling structures are substandard
and will be demolished under the terms
of the proposed contract, the con-
tractor retaining salvaged building
materials and equipment. The "a
standard structures may be demolish-
ed or removed wholly or in part.
If the buildings are removed to
other sites the operation will be per-
formed in accordance with all city zon-
ing, building and health regulations.
The site, which is bisected by
Champion Avenue and bounded by
Granville Street, Hughes Street, Oak
wood Alley, Hawthorne Avenue and
North Ohio Street, is being cleared in
preparation for the construction of
42G decent, sanitary dwellings for low
income families. Columbus has re-
ceived contracts for USHA loans of
S1,8S8,OCO, representing 80 per cent of
the cost Of it's rehousing program.
Sufficient slum dwellings in other
sections of the city will be eliminated
to meet the requirement Of the United
States Housing Act that for every
family unit constructed with the as
sistance of the USHA, one substand-
ard unit will be eliminated by ef-
fective closing, repair or demolition.
The champion Avenue" develop
ment will be located 1 R miles east
of the center of the city. In nearby
Beatty Park there is a modern GYM
nasium and Maryland Park, two
blocks distant, has an open air theatre
and a swimming pool.
The Columbus Housing Authority
reported the following conditions ex-
listing in the area in which the new
homes will be built:
271 family units of 57.8 per cent
have no bath.
245 units or 52.2 per cent have
neither toilet nor bath.
SO units or 209 per cent have no
running water.
1874 units with both bath and toilet
are in need Of major repairs or unfit
for use.
A rapid population increase in Co.
lumbus between 1870 and 1910, the To-
cal authority stated, resulted in the
wholesale erection of dwellings built
with cheap, shoddy materials. Rapid
deterioration followed until many of
the homes became unfit for use.
Overcrowding, which the local au-
thority terms zone of the worst hous
ing evils in Columbus" has resulted
from a deficiency Of decent sanitary
| homes.

Decision to this effect was taken by

Merit Rating For
Employers of City
Employment Records Being
Set Up To Determine
Rate In Future

East Liverpool employers covered
by the Ohio unemployment compensa-
ton act are establishing employment
records which will determine their fu-
ture rate for contributing to the states
job insurance fund, Sharon NJ. Quigley,
Manager of the East Liverpool office,
321-323 Market street, said today.
Employers, he pointed out, have a
direct financial interest in stabiliz-
ing employment, as record Of steady
employment will reduce their future
contribution rate when merit rating
provisions of the job insurance law be-
come operative January ], 1912.
Job insurance benefits the state now
pays eligible unemployed workers
from pooled fund built up by employ
ers' contributions are charged up to
the accounts Of their most recent en-
ployers for the purpose Of adjusting
rates according to past employment
experience.
At present all employers having
three or more workers in covered en-
ployment at any one time are liable
for contributions to the unemployment
compensation fund at the rate of 2.7
per cent on the total remuneration
payable to employees. This rate re-
mains in effect until the merit rating
provisions become operative. Then the
rate may range from one per cent to
four per cent, the law says.
Employers having records showing
little employment huctuation may OBJ
tain low rates while those with a
heavy employment turnover resulting
in compensate unemployment may
receive rate as high as four per
cent.
The rate is determined by the diff
ference between the total contributions
the employer paid into the state fund
and benefits paid out to his former
employees; and by the relation of this
difference to his average annual pay
roll.
The lower rates are granted when
contributions exceed benefits by pre-
scribed margins and the highest rate
is established when contributions fail
to exceed benefits. This rate schedule
is: 1ft if the excess equals or ex-
ceeds 1871 Of the average annual pay
roll; 11a 20 if over 1870 but under
1870; 9 if over 1870 but under 1870 !;
21a as if over $40 but under 100; 80
if under So, and 4 M if benefits eX
ceed contributions.
Once established these rates are eff
fective for minimum period of zone
year, according to job insurance Off
cials.
In charging benefits to the accounts
of employers the state commission is
limited to one-sixth Of the total wages
payable to the worker per quarter or
$65, whichever is the lesser amount.
When an employer has been charged
the limit the remainder Of the benefits
paid the unemployed worker are
charged to the preceding employers
subject to the same limitation.

Guild Claimed All
Former Employees as
Persons On Strike
BY JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago uLNS).-A sincere effort
has been made to ascertain how the
American Newspaper Guild arrived at
the figure Geo. later reduced to 500,
as the number Of persons con strike
at the Hearst newspapers Chicago
plant. Witnesses for the Guild testified
at hearings before an examiner Of the
National Labor Relations Board that
the guild had % paid up members
working at the Hearst plant
OF course, when the "strike" was
pulled many more than the % were
stampeded into walking out. The total
number is said to be less than 200,
including the % paid up members.
600 First Claimed
Before the end of the first week of
the "strike," the stampeded employees
held a meeting and repudiated the
guild. Since that time, $50 have re-
turned to their jobs and A. f. Of l..
affiliates.
The guild, for publicity purposes
and to arouse the sympathies of per
sons in distant parts of the country
for several weeks claimed it had GOO
members "on strike" Later this claim
was reduced to 500. The guild neve,
has had that many members on all OF
the Chicago daily newspapers com
bined.
Over 1000 Stayed on job
The way the guild arrived at the fig
ure 600, later reduced to 500, is by
claiming all former employes-emer-
gency employees hired at rush seasons
and those persons released during a
recent consolidation and at the time
the Herald and Examiner changed
over to the tabloid form.
In word, any person who worked
for the Hearst organization during the
last two years and was later separated
from the service for any cause what
soever is claimed as STRIKER"
1t should be borne in mind that
more than 2,CC0 A. +. Of l.. men and
women remained at work to hold in
violate their contracts with the Hearst
organization.

Highland who can blame them!'
There are just so many pictures made
every year, and only certain num-
Der of stars can be elected to head
the casts. So. when an army of
new stars suddenly appears out of
nowhere-and that's exactly what's
happened in 1939-some old-timers
must move out and make room.
Who have been tagged for the
exodus list? Producers have pretty
fair idea right now. but they're not
telling. They're craftily studying
those four figures a-Week contracts,
comparing incoming box-off1ce re-
ceipts on certain star" pictures and
preparing for the big slash.
And, are there going to be sur
prises? Plenty! Ladies and gents
with important-sounding names
who've long been considered essen
tial to the select lists have been
skidding at the gate recently-and
this new sweep of starlets is hasten
ing the day of reckoning. Unques-
tionably, 1910 will find an abundance
Of new names grazing theater mar
quees throughout the land.
Old-timers profess to know nothing
like 1889 as a star-flnding period.
Ready-made box office actors have
been crashing the golden circle, not
singly, but in clusters. Before one
studio can begin ballyhooing the
charms of new find, a rival lot
previews picture in which another
and greater prospect comes to light.
It's been mad, exciting race all
year, and hardly major studio
among the seven has been left out
III the matter of delightful sur
prise. But still, a grave problem
has arisen: What to do with the
new stars? Schedules for next sea-
sons product are pretty well ar
ranged and established personalities
given top places. A hasty reshuf-
fling of the cards is now in prospect
and. as the youngsters are lifted
to the pedestals, old favorites must
absorb the shock.
Carl Laemmle, now 70, and an ex-
hibitor and producer since 1906,
says this years talent flow is unpre-
cedented in film history-and he
should know. He tried to recall some
thing resembling parallel, but gave
up.
I'm the very best days of the
silent era" commented the veteran,
who has just returned to the scene
of his old labors as an independent
film maker, I'VE thought dozen dis
coveries a year-for all the studios,
mind you-was an excellent record.

HULL WOOD.
OF all the men who have made
love to Carlo before the camera,
only four have held her in their
arms and kissed her twice. In her
% pictures in this country only this
quartet has had romance that
lasted longer than a single picture.
The four are John Gilbert, Con-
rad Nagel, Nils Asther and the
latest. Melvyn Douglas, who joined
their ranks when he became CARLOS
leading man for the second time in
"Ninotchka, her newest picture and
first venture into sophisticated ro-
mantle comedy
There have been 10 men in CARLOS
cinematic love-life.
The first was Ricardo Cortez, then
romantic star whose name was
billed before hers in '"The Torrent"
In which she made her debut.
Cortez was very kind to the home
sick, bashful girl from Sweden and
was even prouder than she when her
role proved a success.
In her second picture, 1.-The Temp
tress," Antonio Moreno played op-
posite her in a glamorous romance of
Paris and the Argentine. This time,
on the strength of her first success,
CARLOS name came first. She stood
rather in awe of Moreno, with his
austere manner, dignity, and cere-
monious Latin politeness toward
women.
Her third picture introduced her
to the man with whom she was des-
tined to play in four pictures, and

siders its greatest romance. He was
John Gilbert. The picture was

CARLOS fifth screen lover, in The

Gilbert made love on the screen
