srvation Of the Constitution. the

He brought the helium from
the United States Bureau of
Mines. Their tanks keep the gas
free OF oxygen with impurities
of less than Dol per cent.
The idea Is to preserve doc-
uments In an inert atmosphere.

Your editorial of January 2, 1852
| on Unemployme lent Compensation Com

ig. 1t charged that the Unemploymen ent
Compensation Commission does not re-
veal the number of persons who have
exhausted entitlement to unemployment
compensation benefits. However, such
information was reported in the De-
cember 26, 1858, issue of the Peoples
Voice on page in the next-to-last
paragraph of the article headed "All
Verbage Cleared Away :"
The December 26th article states that
last June there were twenty nine
hundred that had run out of benefits
and now in December there were only
$500 :" These figures, though round
ed out and incorrectly reported (the
$500 figure was for September not
December), were obtained from Com
mission reports after the Commission
had run special statewide surveys on
exhauStions. The Commission is con-
Quoting another survey this month. In
addition, the Commission reports each
week on the number of eXhaustions,
and the number of exhaustees who have
re-opened their claims.
BY the way, the 1900 figure for June
conflicts with the 3,400 figure for the
same month stated in your editorial.
Is this what you would call gobble-d de-
cook? (See editorial on this page

base, has brought several inquiries
already resulting from the public's
in understanding what you
mean. People think it relates to weekly
benefit amount. There was no discus
