MD. UNEMPLOYMENT
FUNDS TOTAL 27 TONS
SINCE JANUARY, 1888

An estimate credited to the
United States Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, which produces
our paper money, gives the
weight of a million dollars in one
dollar notes as 2,031 pounds. TAX
ing this figure as a basis, the bene-
fits paid to the unemployed by
the Maryland Unemployment
Compensation Board up to the end
of November last, would weigh
more than q short tons, the ag-
gregate of payments at the date
mentioned having exceeded 27
million dollars.
Payments, however, leave the
treasury of the Board in the form
Of checks for weekly benefit
amounts and these checks, it is
computed, have, from the begin
ming of benefit payments in Janu.
airy, 1888, reached a total of 2,90S,-
297. Thus the average amount of
weekly checks from the beginning
of payments has been $93S.
The unemployment benefit checks
are of uniform size, filled in by ma
chine at the rate of 80 per minute
and are seven and three-eighth in
ches long. Laid end to end on the
main line of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad they would reach
from Baltimore to Pittsburgh, Pa,
and then run on for six miles more
the total length being 33S miles
In November, a month of light
benefit payments, this imaginary
line Of checks grew at the rate of
about 700 feet a day.

FARMERS CAN NOW
GET MACHINE PARTS

To correct a misimpression
among farmers in need of farm
machinery, equipment and repair
parts, Priorities Division of the
Office of Production Management
in Washington points out that
retail consumers cannot and must
not be expected to produce prefer
ence rating certificates, when plac-
ing normal orders for finished
goods"
In the confusion incident to at
tacks upon the United States by
Axis powers, says OPM, many dis
tributors of consumers goods have
told their customers they cannot
sell to them unless their orders
are accompanied by preference
rating certificates. This seems to
have been most prevalent among
dealers who handle metal products
particularly in the farm machinery
and hand-tool fields.
In the case of important civilian
items, as for example, farm ma
chinery and spare parts for pri-
vately owned automobiles and
trucks, Priorities Division has
given assistance to manufacturers
SO that they may continue their
production. Goods manufactured
as a result of this assistance are
then made available through the
normal trade channels, and retail
buyers in general do not need, and
have not been issued, preference
rating certificates.

ARMY AND NAVY
TRAINING MORE
PILOTS THAN JAPS

Pilot training programs, already
we'll under way in both Army and
Navy training centers and gather
ing momentum daily, have produc-
ed reservoirs of trained airmen far
greater than any on which Japan
can draw.
Last July l the Army Air forces
had 10,697, officers, mostly pilots;
S,7O7 flying cadets In training and
1866 enlisted men, mostly me-
chanics and ground crew members
according to the War Department.
Its socalled "fifty-four group pro-
gram" was nearly complete when
on October "a it was announced
that the program would be expand
ed to an "eighty-four group air
force The original program call
ed for 10000 pilots and 100000
mechanics to be trained annually
The last announced figure for the
Navy's air arm, on last October 80,
gave the service 5,832 pilots on
active duty and 5,135 pilots in
training. BY February ! the train
ing OF pilots by the Navy will reach
900 a month, according to the esti-
mates of Navy leaders and by July
l, 1912, the Navy will have 0,000
pilots.
Estimates of japanese pilot
strength have varied between $500
to $4,000 for the Japanese Army
and Navy combined, but all agree
that the Japanese training facilities
are not adequate for turning out
more than 1000 pilots a year.
American military plane produc-
tion, now more than 1000 a month
and expected to reach $4,000 a
year in 1912, compares with a top
Japanese production of 800 to 500
planes of all types per month.

In It To The Finish

The sooner the people of the

the sooner it will be over. Nothing
must be allowed to interfere with
production. Private ADVANTAGE
must be set aside for the general
good. And there must be disci.

Solution
(By Jessie Merle Franklin)

Sometimes when 60 walking
nights
Along a dark, still lane,
I'm sure I want dog with size
And prestige, like a Dane.
And then l hear somebody boast
OF his dogs pedigree
And so l think with changing
mind,
"A dachhund it will be-"
And still l see another proud,
AS he shows off his pet,
A keen and eager setter, and
I think, That's what I'll get"
From collie. chow, to Boston bull.
I fit, just like a bee,
And end up keeping some stray pup
Who comes TO live with me!

NeeO Year IN Old Russia
(By Kadra MaysD

In the land of frost and winter
where the tanks and caissons go
Like prehistoric monsters such as
crawl in bloody snow
There was kept an olden custom.
On the morn of New Years Day,
From the farms, horse was
chosen and was decked with ber-
ries gay.
He was led by dancing peasants to
the overlord's estate,
Where the nobleman had ordered
that they open door and gate.
Through the castle doors he enter
ed, and the chargers hoofbeats
rang
On its floors of gilt and tiling while
the peasants laughed and sang.
And quaint procession followed;
for each farmer led his beast
And the women carried poultry on
the day of gift and feast.
So they gave their New Year
greeting-on a morn of long
ago
In land where armies battle to
the death in bloody snow.

KEEPING FIT BY
AVOIDING COLDS

Keeping fit is strongly urged
by DR.. R. H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health, as a
means of defense. He places the
common cold far up on the list of
diseases capable of lowering the
power of resistance and opening
the way for seriously damaging
illnesses. He accordingly advises
the following precautions:
Remember" he said, "a cold is
a communicable disease, that is,
one that you catch from a member
OF yoru family, or your neighbor,
in the Office, in the bus, at the mo-
vies, at the theatre, at church, or
wherever people congregate. Drop
lets bearing the infectious mater
ial, may be sprayed over a wide
area by single cough or sneeze.
Therefore, the first and most OBJ.
vious precaution is to keep away
from anybody who is coughing,
sneezing or showing other signs
of a cold.
Since this material may also
be present on objects handled by
somebody with a cold and then
touched by you, form the habit of
keeping your hands away from
your nose and mouth. Always
wash your hands before preparing
food for the table and before eat
ing.
Physical fitness is one of the
best safeguards against colds. Ade-
quate rest, clothing suitable for the
weather, and simple, well-balanc-
ed diet, which includes generous
amounts of milk, fruit and vege-
tables, will help you to keep fit
and will increase your resistance
against colds.
Take no chances. Colds are
more serious than most people
realize. They not only cause in
convenience and discomfort, but
they account for large proportion
OF the days that men and women
lose from their work and children
from school, because of sickness.
Colds undermine the general health
and lower the bodys resistance to
other infections. They are often
responsible for serious complica-
tions and after effects.
Don't let cold hang on. The
best and quickest way to get rid
of cold Is to go to bed and stay
there, under your doctors care,
until the attack is under control.
above all, keep your cold to
yourself Use paper handkerchiefs
and dispose of them as they are
used. Cover your mouth when
ever you cough or sneeZe."

Chapter IL
At The Station

DILL HUMPHREYS, dead! Muir
dered! Susan sank into a
chair slowly, a dazed look of
disbelief on her face as she read
the front page story. The body
had been found lying on the floor
of the laboratory. Preliminary
reports revealed Phil had been
dead anywhere from three to
five hours when the body was
discovered by a Waterman max
ing his rounds of the building.
There had been signs of a
struggle, the story said. A chair
had been knocked over and a
large glass container smashed.
HUMPHREYS head had been crushed
by a heavy, blunted instrument.
Robbery was discounted because
nothing of value had been
touched.
Susan read the story through
Pills background, his brilliant
promise in chemistry. his reputa-
ton for frivolity.
There were no thoughts of
classes that day for her. She
stared at Alice Duncan and Alice
stared back, both hardly know
ing what to say. Then Susan got
up and went to the telephone. She
had an odd desire to talk to
Todd but when a pledge an
swered she asked for Eddie
Luttrell, instead, on an impulse.
If Todd didn't already know she
didn't want to be the one to tell
him.
Eddie" she began, when he
got on the line, "this is Susan.
Have you"
He interrupted with curse
that she entirely overlooked.
"Yeah. I've heard" Eddie re-
piled, and she noted hoarseness
in his voice. Everyone has, and
those blankety-blank police have
Todd down at the station. Why,
those-what do they think he is
"a murderer" Eddie fairly
shouted.
Susan felt chilled. Todd" she
echoed. "What do they want with
him?"
Eddie ragged. "Formality! the
detectives said. They just wanted
to question him. Remember that
night at Tory's when HUMPHREYS
first sprung the news about
Todd's father? Remember how
Todd made some sort of remark
about they kill snakes where he
came from? Well. that remark
got around, in case you don't
know it, and it finally reached
the shell-pink ears of the law. So
they're questioning him."
"That's-that's ridiculous" Su-
san said weakly, for want of
something else to say. what do
we-what are you going to do?"
Nothing. Wait'll he gets back
to the house. They'll probably re-
lease him right away. It's just
that l don't like the idea. It
stinks. It's rotten!"
Just A Formality
defective Sergeant Paul
~ Lake knocked his pipe
against the desk and looked Todd
full in the face.
"Just relax, Todd. We're just
here for a talk. Routine. that's
all. A man was murdered-we
think-last night. and the chief
wants us to explore every angle.
Unfortunately you happened to
have had, well-a little difficulty
with the victim and you made a
certain remark"
He looked at Todd's tightly
drawn mouth. Were not accus-
ing you of anything Malone" he
said kindly, "but because the cir
cumStanceS are what they are
we'll have to ask you what you
did last night. From the time you
left practice until you went to
bed"

looked at Lake and then at ar.
other detective who was seated
beside him. The ten seconds Of
silence before he spoke seemed
likeIa long time.
When he spoke his voice was
low but distinct. 81 had little use
for Philip HUMPHREYS but l didn't
want him to get his skull Dashed
in. Also. 1 wasn't the one who
did it. Let's get that across right
quick. Sure, I said that we kill
snakes where I come from, but
l was pretty mad the night I
said that. The most ever wished
to do was hand Phil HUMPHREYS
face full of knuckles."
The detective nodded. sure,
Todd, l know what you mean

again, firmly.

went home myself"
What time did you get there?"
ooh, about 9:45."
"You went straight homer"
Todd's eyes flashed. 81 just said
I left my friend and went home!"
"Who was the friend?" Lake
insisted.
"a girl. Susan Drake. She's a
Delta Sig"
They made some notes. "You
remained in the house the rest
of the EVENING""
"Of course. It was raining
pretty hard by the time got
home"
Printed

Il paper and an linked pad
Todd, mind if we get some fin

81 suppose this is formality,
too" Todd snapped.
Lake shrugged apologetically.
"Mind?"
Todd pressed his linked fingers
onto the paper. He recoiled
slightly when he saw the dark
blue imprints with the myriad
sWirls.
Whats the matter?" Lake in

Nothing" Todd said, still
looking at the prints. "I-just
thought of something. that's all"
Something we ought to

Nothing you should know"
Todd said evenly, "but I'll tell
you. This made me think of my
father"
ooh" Lake said. He closed
his notebook. Todd. we're hoping
you'll cooperate with us. We're
asking that of everyone who knew

Todd left the police station and
boarded a street car for the

DUPUYER WILDCAT
BELIEVED NEAR
CUT BANK SAND

1T looked like the North Montana
fairgrounds" said a Great Falls man
who visited the wildcat well of The
Texas Co. north of Dupuyer, north
west of Pondera oil field.
The crowd was composed largely Of
people from nearby towns and farm
ers who had heard that the well was
drilling in and went over hoping to
see a gusher. But there was no gusher.
This test, -Kingsbury No. /, in
center SW3 SE4 8-29N-7W, is coring
at 1891 feet-probably in the Cut Bank
sand horizon, but nothing is known
beyond that fact.
The well Is being drilled with rotary
tools and there would be no evidence
of production-unlike cable tool out
fits which run the tell-tale bailer. The
content of the cores is known only
to H. A. Stewart, superintendent, and
John Blixt, who are supervising the
operation.
