 o. What is the purpose of pub- lie assistance: how does it operate under the Social Security Act; how many people are receiving such as- sistance?
 A. The three public assistance provisions of the act are designed to give Federal help to the states in providing aid to the aged, the blind, and dependent children, on the basis of their present need.

were featured by glowing reports of
booming activity in the manufactur-
ing industries. While retail trade also
showed gains in this period, the ad-
vance was by no means spectacular.
However, during the first quarter of
1910 the situation may well be re-
veraed. Seasonal influences probably
will restrict retail sales generally in
the near future-compared with the
heights reached in the holiday period
but increasing national income and
gradually rising prices are providing
the basis for moderate sales gains on
the all-year basis. A fair estimate
would be that in the first half of
1910 retail trade as a whole should at
least continue the five per cent ad-
vance scored by 1899 over the prev
ious year.

WITH spring painting already be-
w ing planned by far-sighted home
owners, news comes from the paint
industry of the marketing Of pure
ready mixed white lead paint in col
orS.
1t means that those who do not wish
to reduce white lead paste to paint
consistency now may purchase the
ready mixed product in a growing
number of localities throughout the
United States. Heretofore "old reli.
able" white lead was, for the moee
part available only in paste form. to
be mixed on the job with linseed oil
and then tinted to taste.
This is one of the most important
advances reported by the paint inc
dustry in years.
The ady-mixed product now is be-
ing distributed from such key centers
as Philadelphia, Boston, CLEVELAND
st. Louis, Chicago, Richmond ana
Milwaukee in ever increasing quanHn
ties to take care of spring painting
needs. q
Home-oWners who have been aee
customed to thinking of white lead
as being exclusively white, now can
visualize it in colors and in addition
have the assurance of beauty ana
durability generally associated witt
white lead paint.
For the painter, tinting white les4
Is convenient process-colors in oil
simply are added to achieve any de-
sired shade or color.
For the home-owner, who may not
are to tint to the exact color he has
asi mind for paint styling or decora-
tive purposes, the new manufacturing
development of pure white lead II
eolors will be an advantageous one.

All allegations of the petition and
the Alternative Writ Of Mandamus
are admitted in Attys. Lynch's and
McDonald'S memo today.
The particular records on file
with which the writ Of mandamus is
concerned have no specific signifl-
canoe from a police standpoint and
there is nothing contained therein
which is Of and by itself of a par
ticular confidential nature, stated
the police departments counsels.
Since the civil suit referred to in
the petition has already been
brought and there are counsel of
record for both sides, 1t may we'll be
that no harm will be done by all
counsel for both sides to inspect
these particular records, said At
torney Lynch.
No Precedent
He added that the decision on
the motion to quash being so care
fully confidential to this case in
particular, they, the counsels for
the police department, realize that
no general rule or precedent has
been set.
The mandamus action was
brought by Atty. Wertheimer when
he was denied access to the records
by Supt. Roach. Atty. Lynch, cor
poration counsel, then countered
with a motion to quash which was
denied by Judge Foster.
