FORT CUSTER, April 10
Preparatory 10 changing the ra-
ton system at Fort Custer for the
more than $1,000 troops stationed
here, fort officials today ordered

period of l.. days 10 determine
whether they are suitable for field

If the experiment is successful,
It is likely that the entire post
will be supplied with this type of
meat rather than fresh cuts,
thereby reducing the bulk and
waste of ordinary meat rations.
For the 15-day period, approx
mately 5000 men will be fed on
experimental menus which include
the frozen meats. The 2nd and

designated as the organizations

its use in the field is believed TO
be entirely practicable.

Britain May Be Strengthening
Its Night Air Raid Defenses

Experts, the correspondent added,
are not overlooking the possibility
that the German air force may be
using sub.stratosphere raiders when
lower attitudes become too hot for
them.
Already against low-flying raiders
the Befors gun, equipped with a new
predictor, has shown itself to be an
absolute killer" scoring a hit in
every twenty rounds, the correspon-
dent said.
'"There is evidence" he continued,
that concentration of fire on the
estimated position of the raiders as
distinct from a barrage OF wall of
fire has proved effective. For in
stance, a high percentage of raiders
in the later stages of the Coventry
blitz were thus turned away. In.
cidentally rumors that the city's
guns ran out of ammunition are
groundless."

LONDON, Jan. 12.-lR-The Brit
ish Press associations air cores
pondent said today that Germany's
admission that six planes failed to
return from Friday nights raids, in
which, the British claimed only two,
may mean progress is being made
in the search for a thoroughly con
vincing answer to the night bomber"
The writer added that a scientific
search was being made by the best
brains of Britain for methods of
locating high-flying raiders and
there was reason to believe British
instruments already in use are sin
advance of anything yet evolved by
the enemy"
Opinion varies as to the proportion

Broadening OF Social Security
Program May Mark This Congress

were only $29, 600, 900 compared to
the $50, 900, 900 paid in July. Total
benefits paid out during 1910 will
amount to about $500, 600, 900.
The biggest decreases in benefit
payments during the last half Of
the year were in industrial states
such as Michigan Indiana,
though such states as Kentucky,
North Carolina, Texas Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming showed
decreases of from 80 to 40 percent
in claims for unemployment bene-
fits between August and Septem-
Der. In Hawaii, on the other hand,
canneries closed during that period
and claims leaped Al percent. The
weekly number of claims has de-
clined steadily in the total picture
since June. l
But the social security spot
which reflected the most vigorous
defense activity was the United
States employment service which
goes hand in hand with unemploy-
ment compensation. 1t reported
400, 900 persons placed in jobs dur
ing October and 1865, 900 in Nov
ember, cutting to four and a half
million the number it had listed
as actively looking for jobs. This
was less than half as many as it
once had listed. It's 4,5O0 state
operated local offices have placed
$500, 900 persons in jobs during
1910. These figures cover the whole
field of employment, however, both
public and private.
Already the service is reporting
local shortages of Lightly skilled
labor in a number of states, some
due to the fact that skilled workers
refuse to accept the wages offered.
others because men are unwilling
to leave home to take jobs offered
elsewhere. 1t reports no shortage
of unskilled labor, though domes-
tic workers are getting harder to
find and farm workers are asking
more money. Age limits for skilled
workers are being thrown out the
window. The service reported one
man 80 years old hired by an
engineering concern.
Every state and territory is par.
ticipating in the public assistance
program of the social security
agency under which they provide
help for needy aged. Four-fifths
are giving help to needy blind and
to dependent children. Under these
three-cornered programs 1888, 600
men, women and children got COM
bined federal and state payments
amounting to more than $619. OOO..
900 in 1910.
Unlike such public aid agencies
as FSA, CCC, NYA and WPA,
where spending lines on the graphs
have pointed steadily downward
since August, social security typas
of assistance have shown a Slow
but gradual rise since the latter
half of 1886. General relief, for
instance, was 6.6 percent less in
September in the 81 states that
provide comparable figures than
it was in August of 1910; was 24.9
percent less than in September
1910 than in September 1889 in
the 80 states for which comparable
figures are available. But social
security payments in all the states
were seven tenths of one percent
higher in September than in Au-
gust, and liz percent greater in
September 1910 than in Septem-
Der 1889, - -
