JOB INSURANCE LAW EXPLAINED TO EMPLOYERS Co-Operation Urged by White in His Address at Crawfordsville. Tim? a RptrJnl CRAWFORDSVILLE Ind., April 18.—Members of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce today considered a plea that Indiana employers co-operate with the state In working out the unemployment compensation law. Unemployment compensation, under the Indiana law, neither is taxation nor charity, but an insurance plan worked out on a sound insurance basis, Prof. R. Clyde White, Indiana University social research bureau director, told the Chamber last night. ‘‘The Indiana Legislature did more than plan to pay benefits to unemployed workers,” said Prof. White, who was an advise;* of the joint committee which prepared model social security legislation for the special session. See* Incentive for Stabilization ‘‘The Legislature,” Prof. White continued, ‘‘drafted a blueprint for the stabilization of employment. The Indiana plan provides that after March, 1939, the amount of contributions of both employers and employes will depend on the record of employment provided by each concern. There will be a direct incentive for each business to stabilize employment. ‘‘l spent the summer of 1932 in Germany studying their social insurance system. I talked with officials of the German General Federation of Labor, with officials of the Associated Employers, with professional men, with manufacturers and with government officials. ‘‘Not one of them said unemployment insurance was a failure; all of them said they could not do without it. Englishmen have told me the same thing about their law. Two Methods Combined ‘‘All foreign laws provide for pooled funds only; Wisconsin, the first state to have an unemployment compensation law, provides only for an individual reserve account. Our law provides for both. By the use of the reserve plan, we provide for payment of benefits, and we make ii profitable for the employer to prevent unemployment; by the creation of a pooled account, we spread the risk to which employes are exposed and we gain the maximum insurance coverage. Because we have combined these two principals in our law, other states and the Federal government are going to be deeply interested in our experience with it. “As insurance, the Indiana plan is conservative. Because money must be paid in before it can be paid out, no benefits will be paid until after April 1, 1938. Unemployed workers then will be entitled to receive benefits. They can receive one week of benefits equal to 50 per cent of weekly wages, but not to exceed sls a week for every four weeks’ work. The maximum duration of benefits for an employe is 15 weeks. Calls Law Good “The reserves provided under the Indiana plan are sufficiently high to insure the payments of these benefits with a margin of safety. “We have a good unemployment compensation law in Indiana. It is up to those concerned in it, the employers and employes, to make it work out successfully. The unemployment compensation division is ready at all times to co-operate with you.” Embezzler Given Parole Miss Elizabeth Springer, former superintendent of the Huntington County Hospital, serving 2 to 21 years for embezzlement of hospital funds, has been granted a parole by Gov. McNutt.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Toby Ryan, 19, It a photographic model, poking for pbolorraphi nrd In advertisement*. Unknown at flrat, he la anon In high demand in the atodioi, partlroiarly after she la chosen aa ’‘The Hillyer Soap Girl." Toby share* an apartment with Harriet Holm, another model, engaged ta marry Clyde Sabin, whom Toby distrnata. Wealthy Tim Jamleoon ahowera Toby with attention* for a time, and then aeem* to forget her. Toby'a oldeat friend is Bill Brandt, who worka for an advertising agency. She la fond of Bill, bat has never thought of him romantically. Jay Hillyer, president of the Hillyer company, aees Toby poiing for acme photographi. He take* her to dinner and later she has freqnert engagements with him. Clyde Sabin marries a wealthy widow and breaks the news to Harriet in a letter. It is a fearful shork, and Toby worries over the way Harriet Is taking it. She and Bill go to dinner and then atop at the apartmert tor Harriet. As Toby turn* her key in the door and opens it. Bill cries "Don’t go in that room!" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE BILL crossed the room and flung up a window. Toby felt the choking fumes in her throat. She groped for the electric switch, found it. The room was just as it had been, but there was no sign of Harriet. “Where is she?” Toby cried. “Oh, Bill, where is she?” The kitchenette of the apartment was little more than a cupboard. In fact, it had been one once. Bill pulled the door back and disappeared inside. The sting of the gas was sharper with the door open. Toby cried, “Bill—!” and ran forward. There he was. with Harriet in his arms. “Raise the other windows,” he directed. “Do you know where to get a doctor?” He put Harriet on the davenport and they did everything they could think of to revive her, but she was still unconscious when the doctor arrived. He made arrangements immediately to take her to a hospital. tt tt J TOBY’S eyes sought the doctor’s, voicing the question her lips did not dare attempt. “We’ll do all we can for her,” the doctor promised. “But, Doctor—!” “No time to waste now,” he said brusquely. “The sooner we get her to the hospital, the better. That’s all I can tell you.” Later Bill sat with Toby in the dreary hospital waiting room. Her eyes were red-rimmed, the handkerchief she twisted in her hand a limp, moist ball. ‘‘What time is it now?” Toby asked. He told her. “Surely it can’t be much longer! They ought to know by this time. Why doesn’t someone come and tell us, Bill? Do you think they’ve forgotten—?” “They’ll tell us, Toby, as soon as they know. I don’t think it will be long now.” “But it’s been a long time already. Oh, Bill, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have left her alone tonight. I knew how she felt. If I’d stayed with her, as I should have, it wouldn’t have happened.” “You musn’t say that, Toby.” tt t> u BUT it’s true! And there isn’t anything I can do now. I’ll never forgive myself. Never! Bill, if she shouldn't —” “Don’t say it, Toby. You mustn’t let yourself go to pieces like this. Besides, Harriet’s going to be all right. Just remember that. She’s going to be all right!" It was another 20 minutes before a nurse came and told them, “Miss Holm is resting quietly now.” “Can I see her?” Toby asked. The nurse shook her head. “Not tonight. She's very weak and the doctor doesn't want her to be disturbed. I imagine that you'll be able to see her tomorrow morning.” Toby was there next morning. She found a pale and wan-faced

Harriet lying back against the pillows of the hospital bed. Harriet said: “I’m sorry, Toby. I guess I’ve made everybody a lot of trouble —” “Darling, it's all right now. You had us horribly frightened last night, but now everything's all right. The doctor says you'll be yourself iu just a few days.” “Yes, I know.” * THE few words seemed to have exhausted Harriet. Toby lingered a few moments and then a nurse said that it was time for'her to leave. From* then on her daily routine included as much time at the hospital as she could spend there. Bill came with her once, and another evening she arrived to find Marty Hiatt sitting beside Harriet’s bed. There were flowers in baskets and vases about the room—so many that some of them were on the floor. Harriet’s illness had been reported as the result of an accident. She had many friends and all were solicitous about her recovery. “Why, the place looks like a florist’s shop!” Toby exclaimed. Harriet smiled. “It does, doesn’t it? It’s lovely of people to send them, but I feel selfish with so many flowers when some of the patients haven’t any at all. I’ve asked the nurse to take part of mine to some of the other rooms.” Marty nodded toward Harriet. “She looks fine, doesn't she? All she needs is to get some color in her cheeks.’’ She did look better, although she still was weak. The doctor had ordered that she should remain at the hospital a few days longer. tt a tt TOBY was cheerful at the hospital, but privately she was worried. Since the day Harriet had received Clyde Sabin’s letter she had not mentioned him. Did she still feel that life without Clyde was not worth while? That was why she had done this dreadful thing, of course. There couldn’t be any other reason. If Harriet would only talk about it! But she didn’t. She was sweetly appreciative of everything that was done for her. She lay back against her pillows like a pale shadow of herself. The verve and sparkle, the gaiety that every one associated with Harriet was gone. Only one person besides Toby knew the truth about the “accident” of the escaped gas—Bill. Toby discussed the problem with him. “What worries me,” she confided, “is what may happen after she leaves the hospnal and comes home. Everybody knows she was to be married. It will be awfully hard for her to go back to work.” “She ought to go away some place for a while.”* “I think so, too,” Toby said, “but she doesn’t seem to be interested. She isn’t interested in anything any more. That’s the trouble. Bill, do you think she’d try.” tt tt tt HE understood what she meant before the words were out. “Not a chance,” he said. “Don’t you know, Toby, that once any one has come as close to the finish as Harriet did, they never make a second try? They realize, I guess, just how much life means.” “I hope you’re right.” “Os course I am. I can show you figures to prove it.” It was Marty Hiatt, eventually, who made the suggestion that was carried out. Harriet was back at

the apartment, still pale, still with the far-away expression on her face, still silent about her plans for the future. Marty dropped In one evening after work. “I’ve got an idea,” he announced. "You can't go back to work for a while, Harriet. At least, you shouldn’t. The country's what you need. I have an aunt who lives in a little town up farther in the state. She's the finest cook in the world and there's nothing she likes so much as to have some one around she can fuss over and take care of. “She'd be tickled to death to have you come up for a week or two, or as long as you want to stay. You see, the old girl gets sort of lonesome. Likes to have someone around she can talk to. I’ve been promising for months to run up and see her. If you’ll come along, we can drive up next Sunday.” it tt it HARRIET said It was awfully nice of Marty, but she couldn’t impose on his aunt. “Impose on her? Why you’ll be doing her a favor. Honestly—l mean it!” “It would be grand for you, Harriet,” Toby urged; “You know the doctor said you shouldn’t go to work right away.” Two days later a letter arrived from Mrs. Abigail Dinwiddie—a letter that revealed Mrs. Dinwiddie to be exactly the sort of person Hiatt had described her as. “It was sweet of her to write me, wasn’t it?” Harriet said. “But, of course, I can’t go.” Nevertheless, when Sunday morning arrived, Marty Hiatt’halted his car before the apartment and presently was helping Harriet in and stowing her suitcase into the rear. Toby found it lonely after Harriet was gone. The days had been so full that she had had little time to herself. Now she had more than she knew what to do with. For no reason at all, calls from the studio dropped off. “They’ll pick up again,” Sally, at the Model League office, assured her. tt it st TOBY hoped they would. Jay Hillyer was out of town. Bill seemed to be busy at his job; at any rate, she didn’t hear from him. Then the weather turned hot. It was June, but the sun beat down on the pavements as though it were August, and what breeze there was only added to the discomfort. People said they “felt it,” because the heat had come so suddenly. Toby, finding the apartment unbearable, set off one afternoon for a movie. The theater, at least, would be cool. She reached the avenue and halted, waiting for the traffic light to change. A young man in a white suit also was waiting there. He turned and said, “Why—Gorgeous!” (To Be Continued)

COST OF RURAL ELECTRICITY IS DEBATEDTOPIC Farm Bureau Chief Refutes Contention of Rep. Finly Gray. High cost of rural electrification is caused by distribution problems, not by excessive rates of private power companies, according to the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association. An association official refuted charges that private utilities are keeping the farmers of Indiana “groping in the mud and darkness,” made in the national House of Representatives by Rep. Finly H. Gray. “Mr. Gray contended that if TVA rates were applied to present electrical consumption in Indiana, it would result in a saving to ratepayers of $19,184,000 a year,” the officer said. “I wonder where he found those figures? He also over-estimates the savings a city makes with a municipally owned power plant.” Little Current Needed Engineers have estimated, the officer said, that if all the farms in the state were served with electricity, the load would be only half as great as that maintained by the S. Hard-ing-st plant of the Indianapolis Power and Light Cos. A 30,000 kilowatt plant probably could serve all of them, he said. The problem is in getting subscribers and lines, he continued. That is why the county co-opera-tives, being set up under the Farm Bureau, are to make no effort to furnish their own power, the officer said. The average county load probably will be between 250 and 300 kilowatts, he explained, and the cooperatives can buy that much power cheaper than they can make it. In some districts they plan to get A CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruddy cheeks—sparkling eyes—most women can have. Dr. F. M. Edwards for 20 years treated scores of women who suffered from constipation.

power from municipal plants and in others from private utilities, depending on the situation, he said. County Units Are Forming For the same reason, the official said, it would make little difference to the consumer if it were possible to bring TVA power here. Explaining that the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association has been designated as a central agency for all state rural electrification work, he explained that 55 county co-operatives now are being formed. Os this number, 36 have started a membership drive, he said. Incorporation of six was approved last week by the Public Service
