Unemployment
Insurance .
Unemployment insurance is being
experimented with by the Amalga-
mated Clothing “'orkors of Chicago.
The union has reached an - greunenl
with employers whereby -n insur-
ance fund is created from which
unemployment insurance amounting
to forty per cent. of the average full
time weekly wage will be paid the
worker for his period of idleness up
to five weeks. the amounts not to
exceed twenty dollars a. week. These
unemployment payments. however.
will not be given for idleness caused
by strikes.

government participates in contrib-
utions to the fund. Considerable ruc-
oess has attended the innovation.
and particularily are_the good re-
sults noticeable Just now when em-
ployment in that country is so acute
In this nation it is in the nature
of an experiment. The Amalgamated
Clothing workers believe it will-be
successful. and employers are 'in-
curled to give with them. It is the
worker's insurance against the rainy

Jules Verne might listen with

Tokio university. Mercury is draun

tube to serve as a. filament for an

demonstrated the value of the in-
vention. Its brother has for some

PENALTY 0? BICEPS
By Walt Mason
My Aunt~Mstiida lately dI-Pd. and
went to regions sunny. and In her
will she specified that I should have
her money. It was a humble little
roll. of bills and precious metal.
some hopecks hidden in a bowl.
some roubles in a kettle. The saents
gathered at my door before aunt was
planted. and lot the goods they had
in store they yammered and they
rented. Oh. there were men with pa-
tent bunks. and men with nutmeg
grsters. and eloquence in solid
chunks came booming from their
craters. And there were calesmen
boosting land from which oil was
flushing. and gents with subrllvls.
ions grand across my lawn came
rushing. Solicitors with eager paws
for every graft invented. and every
high and noble cause was ably re-
presented. Would I not back the
hustling group of eager tvilllage
boosters? Would I not help to build
a coon for homeless hens and roos-
tore? Would I be deaf to human
woes and grip my coin with tweez-
crs? Would I not send the Eskimos
some. modern ice cream freezers?
"Alas.” I sighed "t‘was sorrow‘s run
I got. from Aunt Matilder! l wish
she'd hurnc-l hcr savings up. and not
left me a r'ul'rlor!"
\Vallnapers.
Anybody that has ever lived with
a. wallpaper dating from about Grow
er Ccleveland's first term. with a de-
sign that shoots down from the wall
when you least expect it and punch-
es you in the eye. will will be ready
to believe the statement of an ocu-
list that many unfortunate nuts in
sanitariums and asylums have been
driven insane by wallpaper.
This statement was made in a leo-
ture before the Northern ln'iiana
Optical Society. To conserve the na-
tion's sanity the lecturer rechll-
mended soft and soothing wall pa—
peril in medium greys and ‘o dull
finish.
He advised wall paper bounds to
pass up bright colors as being con-
ductive to bats in the belfry. if you
have some loved one in the nut pa-
lace or on his way there for heaven's
sake take an inventory of the wall
paper he has been associating with
and take steps to cover up its mis-
chievous specimens.
There are wall papers that you
can lie in bed staring at until all
rational thoughts flee from your
mind and you feel that you‘re going
dippy. This is especially true of pa.-
pers with spotty or splashy designs.
For if you possess much visull im-
agination you will soon begin in see
a grotcsque face in the rpol or
splash that is repeated all oxor the
room. ,
It may he a. bunch of poisonous
looking pink roses and blue corn-
(lowcrs. with green leaves and rhea-
res of yellow wheat. tied with a bow
of red ribbon. or it may be '4 castle
on a mount with steps leading up to
it. or a shepherd and shepherdtss at
a stile with a dog and some sheep
and a cottage in the offing. Or it
may be any of an infinite varlely of
designs quite unrelated to a grotes-
que face; and yet the petals of the
rose. or the hat of the shepherdess.
or the outline of the castle. rill ar-
rest your roxlng eye and suddenly
reveal to you a profile of Mother
Goose. or a yawning lion. or trams!
playing a. piano. or something equal-
ly irrelevant.
And when that kind of adventure
happens between you and a Mill pa-
per there‘s no cure for you. That
Mother Goose. or that camel.
tillaiever it may he. will haunt you
from that time on. It'll find rep at
the gray of dawn and in the dusk
of midnight. Unhappy man. your
only rcmcdy is to divorce voursell
from that wall paper. l-‘lee from it as
you would from a plague. if you
would save your reason.
Brave y'Img New Yorkers who
have not yet made their fortunes and
who are meanwhile living Ir- furn-
ishcd room between. say. "oucteenth
and Fii‘tyvninth streets on either
side of town. some of them in houses
that once sheltered patrician fami-
lies. have opportunities for sampling
many bygone wall patterns. And
some of them. in moving from one
rooming house to another. have
constructed in their own minds as
lsort of wall paper chronology. At
a glance into a room they have never
seen before they will undertake to
assign the paper to the period of.
Hayes. Garfield or even the civil
war.
Some of them have learned to be
cautious about wall pap” With
prmious sleepless nights in mind
they will sidestep s. pdpcr that looks
as if it might sit on their foreheads
at night.
Also let it be remembered that
new wall papers are just as capable
of driving you crazy as are old ones.
A visit to the paperhanger's store
with the missus to pick out papers
for the new flat is an experience
capable of laying up some sensitive
men for a week. And if a fellow had
to watch those samples l-nlng turned
over every day he might soon be
ready to join the poor wall paper
nuts in the ma’dhouse.
President Obregon
Unless there is an improvement
in the condition of President Obre-
son of Mexico within thé near
future, says a dispatch from this
side of the international line. there
is a. strong possibility that this em-
inent figure in Mexican politics will
be forced to relinquish his office.
If. this is so. it will bean unfortun-
ate day for Mexico.
The position President Obregon
occupied during the long negotia-
tions with the United States in the
matter of recognition cannot be un-
derestimated. Mful and seeking
above all else the friendship of this
nation, Obregon showed himself in
a large capacity. He had. and has.
that rare faculty of welding op-
position into support until those who
think they oppose him in realty are
achieving his ends. Mexico has

The first announcement that
comes from the Goldwyn offices.
confirms the prediction made excluv
sively in these columns that George
\Vaish would be. chosen for the tilt:
role in "Ben Iiur" when that super-
tilm is screened in Italy. It was
freely stated that. Mr. \‘Valsh had
been selected by June Mathis, who
made the scenario from the \Vallace
novel. and all that was necessary
was to have her choice confirmed.
as it appears to have been done.
June Mathis. as the little magnet
behind the throne. thus once more
proves herself one of the best judges
of artistic ability in the film world.
\Vhen she selected Rodolph Valen-
tino for "The Four Horsemen" he
was hardly known as a serious actor.
His success thereafter is so well
known'that it is unnecessary to re-
fer to it. In George Walsh the Gold-
wyn people have chosen one of the
most promising romantic actors on
the American screen. - He possesses
to a. satisfactory degree physical re-
quirements for the role—41nd these
are important—and better still, he
has shown a. desire to break away
from' the cheaper films with which
he was first identified with and do
serious work as he is now doing with
Mary Pickford in "Rosita" and as
he has done in the last three films
in which he has appeared.
