UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT

Lincoln, Nebr., Feb. Is, Heavy
seasonal unemployment partly due
to excessive cold weather resulted
in a marked increase in state job
insurance benefits payments dur
ing January, according to r. T. Ma
lone, director of the Nebraska I'm
employment Compensation Divis-
ion.
January figures released today
by Malone show that 1921 weekly
benefit checks totalling $169,167,
were mailed out to claimants in
January. This represents an in
crease of 6,5S1 checks and of $685.
453 over December. Initial claims
filed in January numbered 1870,
compared with 2,S47 in December.
Continued claims numbered 1907
compared with II, 451 in the prec-
eding month.
The January average check for
weekly benefits for total unemploy-
ment amounted to $9.45 as compar-
ed with 1921 in December. Past
experience shows that the bulk of
the money paid out in benefits is
returned almost Immediately to Ne
braska trade channels by the eligi-
bic claimants, whose buying power
is thus sustained in periods OF
heavy unemployment.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.


As q rule there is nothing stupid
about Reddy Fox. He may be
fooled now and then, but he soon
finds 1t out and he isn't likely to be
fooled twice in the same way. When
he is fooled it is more often by
himself than by any one else. He
fools himself by not giving other
folks credit for being as smart as
they are.
That was the way 1t had been
with Jerry Muskrat. Reddy had
made the mistake of not thinking
Jerry as smart as he is, and so had
not suspected Jerry of even trying
to fool him. Now, however, Reddy
had his eyes open. 1t had come
over him that If he was to catch
Jerry he would have to use his wits
for all they were worth.
Here I am half way to the
Laughing Brook and I haven't
caught so much as q Whit Of the
scent Of Jerry Muskrat." muttered
Reddy as he stopped to look down
In the little drainage ditch along
which he had felt sure Jerry had
run. He went on a little farther
until he came to a place where
the grass did not overhang the ditch
and where the bottom Of It was
quite dry. Nov I'll make sure"
muttered Reddy, as he jumped down
in the ditch.
Very carefully he shifted all
about in the bottom of the ditch.
There wasn't trace, not teeniest,
weeniest trace Of Jerry Muskrat.
Jerry couldn't have passed that way.
He couldn't possibly have run along
there and not left a little scent.
Hal" snarled Reddy. jumping
out of the ditch. He hasn't gone
back home. He is somewhere be-
tween here and the field where the
carrots ar" He looked long and
eagerly up the ditch as If trying to
make up his mind. Then once again
he jumped down in the ditch. Il
hate to get my feet wet, but I'm not
going to take any chances this
time" he muttered. IF Jerry Musk
rat is anywhere in here I'll find
him"
With this Reddy started back
along the bottom OF the ditch, push
ing under the overhanging grass and
all the time using his wonderful
nose for all it was worth. 1t wasn't
until he reached the little cross
ditch at the end Of the ditch he had
been following that he found trace
Of Jerry. Then he found where
Jerry had scrambled down into the
ditch. His nose told him that.
Reddy felt better. He knew that
now he was on the right track and
at once hurried on. And so it was
that presently Reddy came to the
entrance TO Jerry's tunnel in the
bank. He knew now where Jerry
was.

Omelet easily is the surprise
word Of the week. 1t is doubtful
if the average person knows that
in best usage omelet is a word Of
three syllables.
"Oh. come, now" many a reader
will protest, stop pulling our legs. "
Yet it is a fact that in all five Of
the American dictionaries con-
suited, Webster's, Century, Funk and
Wagnalls, Winston's and Macmil-
lan's. the commonly heard two
syllable "OM-let" is listed as Sec
ond choice.
CNote: The words cabinet, choco-
late, and violet also are three
syllable wordsD
incidentally. the word omelet, by
q series of devious detours through
the French, comes to US from the
Latin word lamina, meaning a thin
layer.

First choice: Om-uh-let.
Second choice: OM-let.
Third choice: OM.lit (dubious)

Answer-Holler is another sur
prise word in that it isn't a legiti-
mate word at all. Holler, say the

too, became enthusiastic about tho

when We reached for the pots and
pans. When the dough was in ths

laughed because we tiptoed about
the kitchen for fear ths vibrations
would make the cake fall. It didn't
however. =
The first attempt ut marshmallov

was quite good, and We enjoyed

ding and feeding calves, hogs, tur-
keys, ducks and chickens and
helping with the blowing, mending
fences and doing other chores.
Since the calves, mostly Holsteins,
were 3 months old and were able
to eat grass Dan has cared for them.
He has Guernseys and Jerseys in
the herd, too. According to Dan,
the Holsteins give more milk when
they become cows, sometimes five
gallons at each milking. The calves
are black and white in color. and
are very tame and playful. When
the water is frozen over during the
winter they will jump fence or
break through it to find a place
where they can drink.
In raising the stock Dan also has
learned something Of the economic
side of farming, including the sale
of butter, milk and cream.
The young farmer is now inter-
ested in the wheat which was sown
on the farm last fall. 1t is several
inches tall now, and later part of
it will be fed to the calves. In win
ter, Dan says, the calves eat away
at a pile Of fodder from the bottom
so as to make shelter for them
selves when it rains or SHOWS.
When summer comes Dan finds
farm work much harder, because the
sun comes up so early and there
always is something to do until dusk.
Last summer he helped build roads,
dam creeks and dig wells on his
fathers place. All in all, he finds
that farming is lot of fun. Dan

Interview Shirley

BY MILDRED EDLER, Is.
Anacostia High School.

Meeting movie stars is the hobby
Of Philomena sampogna, is, Of 242s
Minnesota avenue Sc. and Beatrice
Silver, IS, OF 1901 Thirty-third
street Sc. According to Philomena.
the whole thing is quite easy. "Au
you do," she said, lis to knock on
the door and you are invited in"
The girls most interesting ex-
perience was their interview with
Shirley Ross. They went backstags
after a performance and were ad-
mitted to her dressing room. Shir.
ley was eating peanuts and offered
some to her young visitors. but they
politely declined. Shirley compi-
mented Philomena on her new OK
fords and said she was going to
get some like them.
Later the pair met Arleen Wlne-
Ian IN the home where she was vis-
iting. Arleen gave them her auto-
graph, and when they met again
some months later, she remembered
them and asked If they still had
her autograph. They did.
Both girls, who are students at
Anacostia High School, were sur
prised to find Eddie Cantor a very
serious person. HE did not laugh
much at ALL" Philomena remarked.
when we asked II he desired to
be a character actor, Eddie replied,
There are so many excellent actors;
why should deprive them OF
job?"
As for their recent interview with
Edward Arnold, the girls were care.
ful to make 1t clear that the Edward
Arnold they met was not the movie
star, but the citizen. Mr.. Arnold
came to Washington as chairman
Of the organization of the II Am
an American" Citizenship Founda-
ton.
Besides Shirley Ross and Arleen
Whelan, Philomena has met Dick
Powell, Frances Langford, Jon Hall.
Tony Martin, Ray Bolger, Eleanor
Powell and Eleanor Whitney.
About two and halt months ago,
Beatrice met Mary Carlisle and
Jack Haley. Mary sang a song
about "eyes" for her young visitors,
and Jack cracked some character
istic jokes.
Philomena has the autographs OF
about 10 movie stars, among them
