The most serious and pressing

Mrs. Kerr said that unless . solu-
ton were found America would
soon find itself faced with condi-
tions similar to those in Europee.
Unemployment breeds seeds Of
war" she said.
There can be no distinction be-
tween national welfare and do
mestic tranquility among the Ma
tion's families, Mrs. Kerr continued,
adding that both depended upon
family security, and family Sc
curity depended upon work.
Essential to Morale.
Compensation for work is not the
only important phase of employ
ment. she pointed out, but the Job
itself Is essential to the morale and
happiness Of the American family.
"The greatest service you can
give to the cildren In a jobless home
is job to the father" she stated.
"A home in which the bread winner
has job and makes good use of
his pay check is a home in which
there is hope"
Referring to the work done by
women on w. P. A. programs, Mrs.
Kerr commended their efficiency.
"They have done everything from
scrubbing floors to carving statues"
she commented. II will put their
record up against mans any day.
Their contribution to the economic
security Of the family unit is note
worthy"
Mrs. Kerr said unemployment
was but part Of the larger economic
problem Of production and con-
sumption of goods which, she de-
clared, inevitably arises in every
country that has gone to any
lengths IN mechanizing its indus
try"
The speaker said that such i'm
provement has been achieved In the
method Of distributing surplus COM
modities through the food stamp
plan.
Cultural Program Established.
In striving to find Jobs for the
unemployed Mrs. Kerr asserted that
an effort was made to place work.
ers at their accustomed occupations.
For that reason, she continued, a
cultural program has been estab-
lished as well as the humber
projects.
ITO me the question Of w. p. A.
job for an unemployed and desti-
tute musician, clerk, teacher, nurse
or craftsman is more than q ques-
ton Of figures in the budget of
fiscal year." she declared.
THE task Of solving our coun-
try's problems is one that will take
all the understanding, patience and
courage we possess"
Mrs. Paul Appleby. chairman Of
the Department of Child Welfare,
and Mrs. Chester williams, chair
man of the Department Of Eco

Senator D. ". CIark's
Client Wins S107, 900 Suil

Senator D. Worth Clark of Idaho,
one of the few national legislators
to practice in the local courts, today
was on record in District Court as
having won a $107,O ,O21 suit that had
been filed against client of his.
Justice James M. Proctor signed
an order dismissing the suit and
dissolving a temporary restraining
order that had been issued last
year by the court. Will Cummings
of Chattanooga, Tenn, brought &C
ton in District Court against Will
liam H. Langroise of Boise, Idaho,
as executor of the estate of James
Mcdonald, jr., son of the prominent
capitalist, and against the Riggs
National Bank, claiming SLOT ,02l
and asking that the bank be pre-
vented from paying out funds in
volved. The suit was designed to
foreclose claim on specific prop
erty here on the basis of a claim
given in writing by James McDon-
aid, jr., upon securities left in a
trust by his father, the court was
told.
Senator Clark represented Mr.
Langroise in the litigation, which
has extended over several months.
Mr. Langrolse contended that Dis
tricL Court was without authority

tering affairs in Idaho.

the value Of such part-time earn
ings, plus benefit payments, to be
equal to 100 per cent OF what the
person was making before he lost
his regular Job.
Provides No Ceiling.
However, while it was assumed In
some quarters that the intention
was not to carry the total above
the proposed maximum benefit pay
ment Of $40 week, neither official
nor private students today could
find any qualifying language which
would definitely have that effect.
In fact, several officials agreed that
it appeared that a person who was
paid $40 In private employment but
lost his job and found partial"
employment that paid him so a
week, could be found eligible for
the maximum benefit allowance of
$40 week (for 20 weeks, which
would bring his total receipts for
that period up to $40 week.
These officials assumed" that this
would be prevented by administ1a-
tive action. either in adoption of
rules by the local board, or by the
offer Of some full time" job to the
claimant.
Another case was discussed deal
ing with the possible effects of the
partial unemployment provision.
For instance, the woman who works
Saturdays as one-daya week
clerk, at So day. During Decem-
ber, on account Of the Christmas
buying season, she worked every
day. Thus her earnings for 48 weeks
at So Saturday would be $l44 and
with $72 for December. her total
years earnings would be $216. If
she claimed benefits after her De-
cember employment she could be
held to be partially unemployed,
and held eligible for weekly benefit
payment of SIS for 20 weeks while
still receiving the customary So pay
for each Saturdays work, it was
contended. Some observers sug-
geSted such a development might be
covered properly by definitions or
rules.
Formulae Complicated.
1t was generally agreed by spokes-
men for various public and private
groups that the present law formu-
lac for benefits and periods for bene-
fit payments was extremely COM
plicated and difficult of calculation.
In a move for simpliflcation, the
proposed new measure sets forth an
unemployment benefit table, show
ing what weekly benefit amounts
shall be paid to persons whose earn
ings in the highest quarter of the
base period" of past employment
were within certain brackets.
For instance. persons who earned,
in their base periods, between $3.50
to $3.50 in the quarter year, would
be entitled to weekly benefit
amount of IS, if found eligible. The
benefit table is carried up, 81
bracket, to $40 for persons who had
earned $4940l or more in the quar-
ter year. This plan appeared to
those interviewed to be greatly
simplified.

Gilsonite Ore Production
Is Latest Mining Venture

Gilsonite, one of the newest and
most rapidly expanding mining
products, is contributing to Utah's
income as the raw material is found
in that state in quantities large
enough to be of commercial value,
mining leaders report.
Five companies operate mines and
refineries in the state to handle the
hard, dried oil ore. It is a black,
shiny, tar-like substance which Is
used in the manufacture Of products
such as paints, lacquers, varnishes,
rubber, battery boxes. roofing mate
rails, photograph records, printers
inks, tires, floor and nnoleum COM
positions and road materials.
Most recently found use Of the
rare product Is that Of making cores,
facings and molds In foundries. AS
new uses are found for gilsonite,
produced in quantity only. in Utah,
the new industry will see greater ex-
pansion, officials say.
Gilsonites are classified as selects,
melting points from 268 degrees and
up; and seconds, melting points
from 300 degrees to $50 degrees or
higher.

Forty-one persons, guests and
employees of the Harlem Breakfast
Club, 1913 Highland Ave-, Mime
apolis, early Sunday were given a
ride to the police station in the
patrol wagon when police, led by
Detective Sig Couch, raided the
night spot.
Phillip Ware, 1925 Clinton Ave,
proprietor, was arrested ana
charged with being keeper OF a
"disorderly house"
All of the % whites found IN the
place were guests. The coloreo
people, all men, arrested were
mostly musicians and walters.
The daily press played up the
fact that one officer testified he
saw a mixed couple" dancing in
the place. Since there is no law
preventing people of various ma
tionalities fraternizing socially if
they care to, the obvious prejudice
angle of the news stories is obvl-
GUS.
All officers testified that there
was no disorder in the place.
Testimony was also made claim
ing sale of whiskey by the place.

Here's a letter one OF my Little
Rock, Ark, readers sent to me the
past week. I'm sure you'll enjoy
reading it.
MY husband and I have been
married for q years. Our children
are grown, end have homes Of their
own. My husband is adequately
employed, and has been a good pro-
WIDER and a loyal family man. I
unhesitatingly say that he has been
most cOnSiderate Of me, has been
a good husband and a good father.
Recently, however, his interest
in his home has been attracted else
where. A younger woman. His in
difference to me is increasing. He
comes home irregularly and l know
he is spending more and more time
with this younger woman.
II love and admire my husband
I don't want to lose him. Raising
a family, of course, has aged me,
but I don't consider myself as en-
tirely unattractive. Please tell me
something to do that can help me"
Here is my reply. OF course, l
don't know whether or not it will
help her. But because it is a battle
which constantly is coming to the
attention of beauticians everywhere,
my reply may help and help
many others who regularly read this
column.
Family problems and beauty
problems often are synonymous. 1
feel the answer to your problem lies
in the third sentence of your closing
paragraph: Raising a family, of
course, has aged me, but I don't
consider myself unattractive.'
"You must be unusually attractive

you're quite right not to want to

Remaining Flower Vases

There's no need to discard flower
vases that have developed leaks and
cracks. They can easily be repaired
at home. Fill the cracks with white
lead worked in with a putty knife.
When the vase is colored add little
dry color to match the vase to the
white lead, working it well into the
mixture before applying. Then line
the inside bottom and sides with
parafin. This you can do by melt
ing the paraffin and allowing it to
run down the sides, moving the vase
around so that it becomes well
coated.
