A giant artificial ice pack clapped
onto 200. OOO-cubic yard earth slide
in the excavation area Of the Grand
Coulee dam, stopped the slide and
saved the government over 500. 900.
When the dam, the largest in the
world, commenced its unanticipat-
ed, menacing activity, federal engi-
neers met the emergency by bril-
liant scientific measures. Experts
Of the bureau of reclamation Of the
department Of the interior froze the
earth's surface, as surgeon some
times freezes flesh during a treat
ment. They were thus successful in
immobilizing the loosened, pulver-
ICED earth, and rendered harmless
the underlying rock, as well.

Social Security
Changes May Hit
This States Act

Raleigh, July 10.-If the amend
ments now being considered to the
social security act are adopted by
Congress as they have already pass
ed the House of Representatives, the
new legislation would interfere with
the merit rating provisions of the
North Carolina Unemployment Com
pensatlon law, as provided in the
amendment adopted by the recent
session of the General Assembly.
Chairman Charles c. Powell, of the
State Commission, told group of
employers in Gastonia recently.
The North Carolina amendment
meets the requirement of the social
security act as now written, but does
not meet the requirements in the
amendment being considered. The
otate law includes maximum of
~ per cent Of the payrolls of North
carolina employers, with reductions
Tor stable employers who meet the
requirements after four years of ex-
perience. The Federal amendment
requires an approximate average of
2.7 per cent, which could not be
achieved under the State law. An all
Tentative in the proposed amendment
IS standard for the states, which
requires that minimum of SIS a
week be paid eligible claimants for
total unemployment In most other
respects the State law meets the pro-
posed standards, although the law
would nave to be changed to make it
conform.
1T is question of whether we
need the amount in our fund that
would be produced by the approxi-
mate 2.7 per cent Of the payrolls sub
!ect to the tax. Washington. officials
think it is required. We doubt that.
and feel that our law will produce
income sufficient to keep our fund
solvent, said Chairman Powell.
(The Senate Finance Committee
at this writing, has struck out these
amendments).

he often watches $4,000 persons at

of the Harvard football team and
just about single-handed defeated
Yale in the traditional game. Two
days after his graduation, he had
job. Punching tickets at Manhat-
tan beach. Since then, he has done
just about every chore, except chef
in the kitchen about the resort.
Now he is general manager and
holds the rank of vice president of
the Joseph P. Day Enterprises. He
married MIR. Days daughter and
lives happy home life over in Short

athletics to a certain extent. Man
haitian beach is two miles long. At
least 10 times day, he travels the
entire length. Then, too, in his
spare time, he invented a football

size, to train youngsters for those
games when they grow up.
