STRESSES NEED FOR FIGURES ON JODLESSIN U. S. Student of Economics Finds Lack of Data to Cope With Problems. This Is the last of a series of four articles on the national unemployment situation. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER WASHINGTON, March B.—ls the Government is willing to tackle the present unemployment problem, what can it do? There are two possible lines of procedure. One looks to the future, the other to the present. To cope with the present situation one obvious requirement is information. Estimates of the unemployed range from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, a difference of 100 per cent. There is no comprehensive information about the qualifications of those who are unemployed. Check Men’s Ability What do they know how to do? Are they mostly unskilled laborers or is there a large percentage of expert craftsmen? Such information is essential to any ii. diligent plan for handling the unemployment problem. With the knowledge of the extent and type of unemployment the Government would be in a position to canvass the possiblilities of using the surplus workers. One such possibility, of course, is the launching of public improvement projects. That might be a helpful emergency measure, but the most present unemployment is not the result of temporary “hard times.” It is due to permanent displacement of workers by machines, and consequently more than emergency measures are needed to meet it. Probe Bank Loans The Senate proposes to investigate “brokers loans,” now being made by New York Federal Reserve banks to the extent of about $4,000,-

STOMACH MISERY VANISHED SINCE HE GOT KONJOLA New York Street Man Free of Gas Bloating Pains and Indigestion Nearly everyone who takes Konjola is glad to indorse it. This medicine is a wonderful cleanser and it invigorates the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy action, which brings on new feel-

mgs of health over the body in general. But Konjola is especially beneficial to that most abused organ—the stomach. Among the latest to indorse this medicine to the public is Mr. H. C. Gentry, 714 East New York St., Indianapolis, who gave the following report to the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, who is personally meeting the public and explaining Konjola to large crowds every day. The statement of Mr. Gentry reads as follows: "I am glad of this opportunity to testify as to the merits of Konjola. After trying all kinds of remedies, which failed to give me even temporary relief, I feel it is my duty to say a word for this medicine which restored me to health. "My trouble was caused mostly from the condition of my stomach. I suffered untold agony after eating my meals, as my food did not digest and a hard rock would seem to form in the pit of* my stomach. I was forced to go on a special diet for several months. My appetite became very poor and at times I would have to force myself to eat. "After doctoring for a long time without results, I began to look around for something else which might give me relief. Konjola was suggested to me by a friend and I started taking it. It gradually began to relieve me, altho it worked very slowly. I realized that my condition was of long standing and therefore decided to give this medicine a fair trial. I have now taken several bottles and can truthfully say that lam eating most anything and do not suffer afterward. The diets, which I formerly used, are a thing of the past. Gas does not form any more and I never bloat up like I used to. The heavy feeling has entirely disappeared, my appetite is wonderfully improved and lam no longer short of breath. It has made anew man of me and I certainly recommend it to my friends.” The E'onjola Man is at Hook’s Drug St.'re, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is dally meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.—Advertisement.

A member of the “down-trodden” sex sent in this idea for a Loose Nut cartoon. As Leo L. Duncan, 1812 N. Pennsylvania St., who wins the $2 prize, says: “The invention is for the purpose of preserving your shoes and eliminating some stress and strain on your patience.” The Loose Nut is a padded leg cuff fastening around the ankle of

000,000. Such an inquiry might suggest some remedies for the present unemployment situation if it were directed to the question of how credit can be used to finance more production instead of speculation. It may be that to absorb the surplus workers new industries must be established. In suggesting possibilities along this line an intelligent government interest in the present unemployment problem would be distinctly helpful. In the continuing process of replacing men by machines, tens of thousands more workers are going to be crowded out of their jobs during the next, few years. They will lose their jobs through no fault of their own as workmen. They will be sacrificed on the altar of improved mechanical efficiency. Purchasing Power Weak If they leave their jobs on Saturday night with a week’s wages in hand, as thousands of those at present unemployed have, they will soon be in distress and industries accustomed to selling them products will suffer because of the loss of their purchasing power. Some scheme of unemployment insurance might be devised that would tide displaced workers over the period when they are hunting for new jobs. Such a scheme might also help industry generally by avoiding an abrupt chopping off of the purchasing power of displaced workers. In view of the fact that the problem of unemployment has never been seriously tackled in the United States, no one can state with any certainty what should be done about it. It may solve itself. There are indications, however, that .it will not. If that is true the Government— National, State and local—can hardly afford to dodge the responsibility of getting some information about the situation. Any confident suggestion of what should be done about it must await that initial step. DRAFT NEW FARM BILL By United Press WASHINGTON, March B.—#new McNary farm relief bill intended to meet the objections of President Coolidge against the McNaryHaugen bill, was reported favorably today by the Senate Agriculture Committee. The measure substitutes a loan system for the equalization fee which Mr. Coolidge found objectionable last year.

ROCKET PILOT FEARS CRASH WITJUfIETEOR Lack of Funds May Cause Inventor to Cancel Trip to Venus. By United Press MIAMI BEACH, Fla., March B. A congested condition of the meteoric stream, plus a lack of capital to finish his invention, has caused Robert Condit to consider postponing his flight to the planet Venus. He said the meteoric channels had been crowded of late and indicated he did not desire to crash into a flying meteor while en route to Venus. The present meteoric cycle will end Saturday and in case Condit cannot take off before then he probably will postpone his attempt until August. More Funds Refused Condit said his original financial backers had refused to advance any more funds and that unless other financing methods were successful he was afraid the venture might have to be postponed. He said he would announce his decision Friday. Recently he asked permission to charge admission for views of the strange tube in which he hopes to A Simple Application N That Dissolves Blackheads No more squeezing and pinching to get rid of those ugly blackheads.
