000 These three figures vary because they use differently the base taken by each the federal census of unemployment In April 1930 The census found that the number of unemployed at that time was 3200000 But this figure due to faulty enumeration was probably too low At least if it were projected backward by means of unemployment indexes impossible results would be obtained For one thing more persons would be shown as employed in several months of 1929 than the number of workers gainfully occupied in actuality 1930 Census Ratio So Mr Nathan revises the 1930 figure upward to 4386000 The A of makes it even higher while the conference board has heretofore accepted it Another factor of difference arises from the growth in population and from the number of those seeking work since 1930 The conference board has used the 1930 census ratio of gainful workers to totaTpopulation The federation revises this ratio upward Nathan uses census data in allowing for increases in the potential labor supply The conference board has temporarily discontinued its estimates pending revision of its methods of using the available data The number reported as gainfully employed in 1930 was 48- 833000 Some of these have died but many more persons have come of working age since then Also some persons who had retired by 1930 were forced to look for work as the depression continued in some cases finding it in other cases entering the classification of the unemployed If the number of those qualified and wanting to work is now around 55000000 and if the number of unemployed is around 10 ($0000 almost 1 in 5 is unemployed and almost 20000000 men women and children are either on or in need of relief In March 1933 the number of unemployed was 15071000 according to Nathan By October 1935 reemployment had Men-found for almost 2500000 in manufacturing about 350000 in the building industry almost 600000 in wholesale and retail trade and almost 500000 in domestic and personal service Off the Record A London critic make out whether Bernard Shaw Is 50 years ahead of or behind the times Synchronizing Shaw corresponds to the American pastime of coordinating Borah A new type of recording phonograph records fndkes a trio out of a single voice At that rate one drunk and a boy could handle Why give ourselves over to vain imaginings about the war debt?

When the present administration took hold of the government this country was In a state nearing revolution and radical means had to be inaugurated to stave off such a dread calamity I only wish that our president had gone a little farther and issued a proclamation as in wartime to the effect that: to the general conditions of unemployment and danger of mass resentment and possible revolution the government is prepared to take over all main Industries for the time being until business and employment are again at normal' Durjng war times every citizen owes to his country not only all he owns In this land but his life but when an emergency comes to the nation like that one and the nation makes a change in the administration It shows that the people are prepared to expect some radical relief measures Who are the creditors of the nation?

importance of roads and rivers in planning or building for the future Whatever reductions in public expenditures are found necessary there should be no relaxation in the development of highways or the conservation of water according to Colonel Willard Chevalier celebrated engineer of New York City and modern highways" he said revolutionized civilization socially politically and economically and are responsible for the livelihood of over a million people in the United States besides giving hundreds of fertile but formerly isolated localities easy access to the markets which benefits the consumer and producer alike If you want to turn the clock back on civilization 40 years just stop automobile Diversion of gasoline taxes for any purpose other than construction and maintenance of highways he declared is inexcusable As it takes about ten years to develop water supplies and systems the necessity for action to keep pace with the increase of population is apparent There are many who will contend that the first consideration should be protection of public schools from measures of retrenchment Without adequate provisions for feeding future generations and furnishing increasing numbers of people with employment the efforts of educational systems and schools would be more or less futile 1 I Litigation That Savors of Contempt ACCORDING to Associated Press dispatches from New York suit brought by one Frank Wallace to have himself declared a former husband of Mae West was dismissed the other day and the supreme court justice rendering the decision ordered the plaintiffs petition stricken from the record Without reference to the parties involved this absurd application for an injunction to prevent a woman from denying that a man is her husband is unique in the annals of jurisprudence The plaintiff asked no pecuniary recompense for his professed relationship disavowed any intention to cause the actress inconvenience or embarrassment and professed warmest esteem and imdiminished affection" for his alleged spouse As no damages were claimed no demand for it home with all expressed no legal entanglements to straighten out no violation of thq statutes even mentioned it is difficult to see why any attorney would file the suit or any court concern itself in the controversy which appears to have been merely a publicity stunt like stolen diamonds to gain front-page headlines The actress need that sort of advertising and the plaintiff has not benefited from it to any appreciable extent Such litigation comes about as close to contempt of the court as any lawyer should be reckless enough to venture.
