SEEKING A SEER

The morried or single stotus
Of new workers coming TO
Washington has been COM
PIeteIy reversed since the war
began. Before the war, the ro-
ito was 90 per cent morried
to 40 per cent single. Today
It is 90 per cent single to 40
per cent married. Thot hos
further complicated Woshinq-
tons housing shortage. How
many OF these new government
workers ore going to stay in
Washington is another puzz-
Ter. Before the first World
War; the government en-
PIoyes numbered about IS, 900.
BY November, 1918, the figure
had jumped TO 5000, but
many people thought thot wos
q mere temporary high ond
that the new workers would oil
90 home. Insteod, most of
them stoyed. Todoy, the gov
eminent hos about 235,OOO
workers in Washington, and
the number may 90 to 100000
before the wars over. Will
they oil have to stay in the
capital otter peace is decIor-
ed' Anyone who knows the
answer can help decide how
much Of Woshington's new
housing will have to be perm
onent and how much can be
temporary borrocks.
Another factor con1pIicotino
Woshineton's housing problem
IS that so many Of the new
workers come from small towns
and have the walk to- work
habit, They insist on getting
O room within cosy walking
distance Of their job. Thot

diote interest to each Of the other ~
stotes ond the District Of Columbia.
Proposed changes would increase
the weekly benefit rate PoId to persons
who lose their Jobs, would extend the
period during which benefits can be
obtained, would bring partial unem-

reduce the waiting period. According
to which of three proposals is adopted,
the chonoe would add from "a to 40

Specifically perhaps, the outlay
of many millions annually by New York
is q matter purely Of local option, and
of casual interest to workers or tox-
payers Of the other Jurisdictions which
have such systems.
But the experts are convinced that
upon New Works action will depend
whether any of the states shall even
possess unemployment compensation

The federal government is commit
ted to on attempt to notiOnoIize the

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements with performances this evening at Warmers State theater are "All Through the Night" star ring Humphrey Bogart with a star studded cast; also "Sing For Your Supper" with Jinx Falken- burg and Charles Buddy Rogers.
 Typical of the big hits to be pre- sented at the State during 1942 is the smash screen show opening to- morrow at that theater.
 Look Who's Laughing" the hil- arious comedy starring Fibber Mc- Gee and Molly, Edgar Bergen, Charlie Mccarthy and Lucille Ball is the headliner and picture not to be missed by anyone.
 Bringing to the screen the type of comedy they have popularized on the radio for many years and which has gained for them com- bined weekly listening audience of more than 65,000,000 fans, the four stars unite their laughmaking tal- ents with hilarious results.
 The story revolves around the business woes of Wishful Vis'as leading citizen, McGee, when he strives to bring prosperity to his community by selling seedy air port to wealthy airplane manu- facturer and meets with crooked opposition.
 Some of the funniest moments in this laugh-show are the gag routines of the four radio stars, styled after their radio programs Aiding them are such popular broadcast characters as Glider sleeve, Mrs. Uppington and Old Timer. Lee Bonnell, Dorothy Low ett, Neil Hamilton and Charles Halton also are seen in prominent supporting roles.
 AS the second big hit the man. agement presents "The Night of January 16th." a murder mystery that springs hearty laughs in addi- ton to suspense and thrills. Rob- ert Preston and Ellen Drew share starring honors.
 Don't forget. =. ''The Man Who Came To Dinner" is coming to the State next week. Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Monty Woolley head the giant cast of funmakers.

Women To Hear
 Talk On India
-Borman Studio.

Dr. Krishnalal Shridhaarani, in- heritor of the mission of India's great poet Rabindranath Tagore, will lec- ture on India Looks at the New Order ill Asia" at the Waterbury Women club Monday, January 12. The lecture is under the auspices of the Sustaining Members of the Junior league.
 Dr. Shridharani, like his famous predecessor, Tagore, has dedicated his life to the task of creating greater understanding between east ern and western civilizations. His most recent book My India, My America" contrasts the two contem- porary cultures ill manner which is at once entertaining and reveal ing.
 He has received degrees from both Columbia and New York univer- sites, and is a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. He followed Gandhi on the famous march to the sea, and went to jail with him. During the period of his incarceration he prepared the outline for his previous book War Without Violence" a record of the theories and tactics of the Gandhi movement.
 In his literary work, Dr. Shrid- harani presents the simple, every day life of his people in terms of chewing gum, fortune-tellers and feminists. His greatest asset is a natural humor, which brightens his extremely earnest effort to interpret his country sympa thetically. Critics have found his boks indispensable for an understanding of contempo- rary India"
 Dr. Shridharani, who is indis- putably well qualified, will tell of his native land, a nation which may soon become the final Asiatic ar senal of democracy. India is rapid ly becoming a focal point in allied strategy, and merits profound con- sideration as the back door to Rus sia, and a certain landing base for any expeditionary force operating toward the Middle East.

At every tourna- ment Herb takes time out to do his bit-and at the bridge table he also does his bit in playing hands skill fully.
 Gerst, sitting South, won the first lead with the ace of dia- monds. He led the heart and West put up the ace. West crafti- ly led the jack of diamonds. Dunn my trumped, and cashed the king of spades.
 Then came the king of hearts. on which South discarded his low diamond. The nine of spades was led and ducked, West winning with the jack. All that remained for the defenders was the ace of clubs.
