900, while the employment of 215,00O
on other Federal work and construc-
ton projects benefited nearly 650,O00
persons.
Nearly Two Million Destitute Aged
Given Assistance
cit is of special interest to note
that under the Federal assistance pro-
grams administered by the Social Sc
curity Board there were 100000
recipients Of old-age assistance bene-
fits and of aid to the blind, and that
299 families received aid to dependent
children. In addition, 435,O00 persons
benefited from the assistance from
the Farm Security Administration
grants as the result of distribution
Of $1,000 grant vouchers. Finally,
general relief was made available in
May, 1889, in 1,645,OO0 cases extend
ing benefits to more than 100000
individuals.
"In this connection the scope Of the
general direct relief extended is sig
nifcant. The high and low points in
| the number of cases on direct relief
for specified months between January
1886 and June 1889 were as follows:
January 1886, 2,216,O00; July 1887,
1,257O0O; February 1888, 100000;
October 1888, 1,496,OO0; March 1889,
1,852,O00; June 1889, 1,56S,000.
Public Works Projects Should Be
Separated From Work Relief
"The review of these facts makes
clear the enormous extent of the I'M
employment and relief problem still
to be solved.
Continued lag in industrial and
trade activity with the resulting un-
employment make necessary contin-
ued provision for those who are de-
pendent on some form of public as
sistance in order to be able to survive
"We have seen that work relief or
w. P. A. projects has constituted the
largest single instrumentality of such
assistance. 1t has also been noteC
that 70 per cent of this activity was
devoted to construction which, giver
the designation of work relief has
actually represented one of the lar.
gest known programs of public works
that has ever been undertaken by any
nation.
"We believe it is. important to rec
ognize that such public works pro
gram, involving thus far the con
struction and repair of nearly $4,000
public buildings, $4,000 bridges, 3S(
airports, and the building of 35O,O0t
miles of highways, cannot and shoult
not be dealt with as work relief bu
should be embodied, within definitel!
prescribed limits, into a a,planned per
manent public works program.
"Such a long-range program plan
ned for the most effective and econ
omical expenditure of public funds
to fill real and pressing social needs
should supplement private employ
J ment until the flow Of investment int
private enterprise is brought up t.
: the levels necessary to attain full pri
: vate employment. Such a long-rang'
} program of public works projects pro
/ viding private employment under con
r tract at not less than prevailing wage
would do much to soften the impac
of the recurrent fluctuations of bust
ness and construction activity upol
employment"

undertake study of adding pro-
gram of insurance for permanent dis
ability to the Old Age Insurance Sys-
tenn. We recommend further that any
general health insurance program be
Federal in scope to avoid the con-
fusion and inequity which we have
seen resulting from the varying State
unemployment compensation and
workmen's compensation programs.
Industrial Hygiene
eve believe that the administration
of all the industrial hygiene program
should be lodged in the National and
State departments of labor. This is
peculiarly a service for workers and
should be administered by those who
understand the complete problems of
labor. Failure to follow this proce-
dure often makes it impossible for
workers to secure the technical evi-
dence of exposure necessary to prove
their claims to compensation for in
dustrial diseases.
Determining Cost
"While endorsing the principle of
compulsory health insurance, the EX-
ecutive Council believes that the pro-
gram of social insurance should be
developed as coordinated whole with
due regard for the ability of low-paid
groups to pay additional taxes from
their pay checks.
"We believe that considerable
part of the program must be financed
by other than payroll taxes since
general health goes beyond the re-
sponsibility of industry. The first
steps might we'll be the expansion Of
the unemployment compensation pro-
gram to insure against loss of pay to
persons unemployed because of tenn
porary disability, and the placing of
medical care and health services with
in the reach of all persons by lower
ing their expense.
"Along with these steps should go
renewed efforts to find ways of in
creasing the economic security of the
worker in jobs and the income de-
rived therefrom. From that income
the worker could then pay something
toward National program of health
insurance.
eve favor the principle of health
insurance but we urge careful plan
ming for the program on national
basis under competent administration
with system of financing which will
fit into the entire social security pro,
gram before the plan is adopted. We
would oppose any plan which woulo
repeat the mistake Of workmen's com
pensation, of allowing private-profit
companies to be insuring agents"
Administration Emphasized
In emphasizing the A. F. of l.. Elk
ecutive Councils opinion that the ad
ministration of national health in
surance should be vested in the Fed
; eral Labor Department., the conven
ton said:
; "We recommend further specific ap
proval of the Executive Councils rec
; ommendation that the administration
and enforcement of a national pro
; gram to promote health and safety il
industry must be located in the U.
; Department of Labor and that thi
department allocate Federal grants
, maid to State Departments of Labo
5 to carry on the work within their re
spectve jurisdiction. We urge tn

Bill introduced by Senator Wagne
in accord with these suggestions"

How to Clean Painted Floors

Glue and water-not soap and water
lis the best way to clean painted
'tloOrs.
Workers at the Rhode Island EX-
.periment Station experimental with
Treatments for painted wood floors
and came to that conclusion. However,
this treatment should be used only for
painted floors that are unwaxed.
The way to clean the floor is this.
Buy powdered glue at your hardware
Tor paint store. You will need half
pound of the glue for a medium
sized room.
Make the glue -and-water solution
just as you would make a gelatin
'dessert. First, add a cup or so of
cold water to the half pound Of
powdered glue, and let it stand over
night to soak up.
In the morning add boiling water
to the mixture to make two quarts
of liquid. Then boil the solution about
10 minutes, stirring it as it boils.
When washing the painted floor you
will need cup of this thick glue for
each pan of water. Apply the liquid
to the painted floor, or painted walls
or woodwork with cloth or sponge
dipped in the solution. You don't have
to rinse the surface after cleaning.
The glue does the double job of clean
ing the paint and leaving a gloss.
If the thick solution of glue hardens,
simply add hot water and reheat to
soften it.
The advantage of this treatment
over soap and water is that soap and
water dulls and gradually destroys
the paint finish.
Check Your State Labelling Laws
1t takes more than a law passed
by Congress to protect consumers
from adulterated and misbranded
foods. State laws are important, too.
Congress has charged the Food and
Drug Administration of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to protect con-
sumers against adulterated, unsafe,
and misbranded foods that cross over
State lines. But Federal food laws
reach only products produced in one
State and sold in another. State laws,
where they exist, cover foods pro-
duced and sold in the same State.

Consumer Notes
Issued Weekly by Consumers
Counsel Division, A. A. A.
Washington, D. C.

Take a tape measure along with
you when you go to buy gas oven.
That's the first step toward max
ing the right selection in an oven, ac-
ccrding to researchers at the Nebras-
II Experiment Station.
To meet the needs of an average
si1ed family, the oven should measure
#516 inches wide, IA inches high, and
~ inches deep. Families who do an
extra large amount of baking and
roasting will need an even larger oven,
~ to 18 inches in width. Of course,
smaller ovens will suit the purpose
bf the small family or the housewife
who does very little baking.
|s Second pointer to remember is
check the number of metal supports
That hold the racks in the oven. There
should be plenty of these so that the
racks may be adjusted whenever
necessary.
II, Point number 8 is the door. 1t
should fit tightly, with clamp to
shut it securely. That way you will
save on gas. 1t is a fallacy to say
the door must be open to ventilate the
oven.
~ A good oven should heat up to 500
degrees in Is minutes. If it takes
longer than this, it will be expensive
to operate. And check on whether the
..oven will hold low heat when the
burner is turned very low. An empty
soven should stay as low as $50 de-
sgrees F. when it's burner is at its
lowest point, and should not go above
that. Also, the oven should heat
.evenly-with no more than 10 degrees
difference anywhere in the oven, cen
ter, top, bottom, or sides.
Is Good insulation is important II
.holding the oven at an even, constant
Temperature. It takes longer to heat
up, but will also hold high temper
ature with very little heat. The in
sulation should be at least an inch ant
q quarter thick, should be loosel!
packed but firm, and for best result:
should be either glass wool or rocl
wool in blanket form.
- Finally, look for an automatic hea
.control And check this with YOU
thermometer to be sure it is accur
late.
Keep This Table in Your Kitchen
You have to know how many pounds
-of unshelled nuts it takes to make ;
pound of the shelled kernels befor
you can decide which is cheaper t.
buy. Then you compare the cost o
a pound of the shelled nuts with wha
it would cost to get the same quantit.
of kernels in the shell.
Here's table compiled by the De
.partment of Agriculture that give
this information: Is
Almonds, in the shell 81 pounds
-shelled, / pound-(31a cups).
Filberts, in the shell 2A pounds
.shelled, 1 pound-(3h cups).
Peanuts, in the shell, 11a pounds
.shelled, l pound-(3 to 31a cups).
Pecans, in the shell, 21a pounds
.shelled, pound-(3h cups).
Walnuts, eastern black, in the shell
-5k pounds; shelled, 1 pound-(3 cup
broken; cups halves).
Walnuts, Persian (English) in tn
shell, 2la pounds; shelled, pound
"a cups halves).
Suppose unshelled pecans cost
scents pound and the shelled kernels
go cents a pound. Since it takes q
pounds of the unshelled nuts to max
"a pound shelled, you would be savin
10 cents by purchasing the nuts in tn
sshell.

Many food products never leave the
State in which they are produced. This
is often true Of fluid milk, for in
stance.
Here's an example of how a State
law can be useful to consumers. Choc-
olatc-ilavored milk drinks are some
times made with whole milk and some
times with skim milk. Skim milk
should always sell for much less than
whole milk. 1t is difficult for con-
sumers to know which they are get
ting, when the product is favored
with chocolate, unless the label or cap
tells. A law requiring this inform
alton to be given would not only tell
consumers what the quality of the
product is but would give them some
idea whether the price is too high
compared with whole milk prices.
Check up on your State and local
laws if you want to know now well
protected you are against misbranded
and adulterated products made and
! sold within your State.

Has the department of justice me

This question was asked in labo
circles following publication OF tw'
highly interesting editorials in Thu

sociation.
The first editorial, in the October
10 issue, was headed, Important An
nouncement" Supercharged with pa
triotism, it dealt with the impending
trial Of score Of A. M. A. officers
and other leading physicians for VIC
lation of the Sherman antitrust act
The trial was set for October Fl.
"At this time The Journal is com
PEELED to inform its readers that the
work of the American Medical Asso-
citation as a body, including it's con-
tribution in aid of the national de-
Tense, must suffer serious interference
during the next two or three months"
the editorial began.
More in sorrow than in anger the
editorial then described how much of
a nuisance the trial would be, what
with the doctors working their heads
off to save the country from hernia
and Hitler. But the doctors trust
promised that it would carry on in
spite of this serious interference with
the provision of medical service and
the dissemination of knowledge Of
medical advancement
Hardly had the type been cooled by
the salty tears of the editorial writer
when things happened in Washington.

HIGH COURT RULES

WASHINGTON (FP)-Power OF
the wage-hour division to subpoena
records was upheld by the U. S. SUI
preme court here October % as it
refused to review a decision against
Montgomery Ward & Co.
The company refused to honor q
wage-hour request for payroll records
and the case was contested in the
courts. The lower court held the
wage-hour act constitutional, the sub
peona within due process of law and
not constituting unreasonable search
and seizure"
The circuit court ruled only on the
subpoena powers and it was this de-
cision that was inferentially upheld
by the supreme court.
