! The action was taken after a
j lengthy session at which George
' W. Coan Jr., state works progress
j administrator, and Mrs. May
j Thompson Evans, director of the
^ state employment service, outlin-
I ed problems of jobs and employ-
I ment.
' Tbe 193G legislature appropri-
^iated n.500,000 in highway funds
^ I for each year of the current bl-
■^iennium to be used in providing
i road construction jobs for per-
I sons on relief, and Coan told the
{directors the state WPA had
j taken most of those on relief
'who are able to work on WPA
j projects under present regula-
1 tions. He said the highway pro-
Igram is likely to suffer because
1 of the lack of eligible relief
I workers to employ on highway
! construction.
I The consensus was the federal
government should change regu-
i lations so workers could be re-
' Quistioned from WPA jn'ojects
j and from the employment service
j registration lists, regardless of
I whether they had been on relief
' or not previously, for work on
I the highway program.
Mrs. Evans estimated between

hunters have been encouraged to
kill hawks, because hawks kill
game birds; but hawks also are
fond of baby red squirrels, and a
possible explanation is that the
red squirrels have multiplied, as
the hawks have diminished in
number, and there isn’t room in
the woods for both the red and
the eray squirrels.
It is Just one of those inter
esting phenomena illustrating the
constant effort of nature to main
tain the balance between all the
various forms of life.

TAXEH plain figures
I asked five intelligent people
at a social gathering the other
night if they knew how much
they paid in taxes to the Federal
Government on each package of
cigarettes. Nobody knew th® an-
.swer. The revenue stamp on the
cigarette pack simply says “20
cigarettes’’ and does not disclose
the fact that the manufacturer
pays six cents for each stamp and
adds it to the price of the cigar
ettes.
I think it would be a very use
ful law, if Congress could be in
duced to enact it, to require that
every tax stamp tells the buyer
of the taxed article just how
much tax he is paying. We will
never get real economy in Gov
ernment until the “man in the
street” realizes that he, too, is
paying a share of the cost of the

One of the wealthiest men I
know is Herbert L. Satterlee, |
brother-in-law of J. P. Morgan.'
Mr. Satterlee is still using an au- [
tomobile which was 'built for him
in 1915. The 20-year-oId car has
,"one over :100,000,000 miles and
is capable of 60 miles an hour In
a pinch. .Mr. Satterlee tried one
cars i
and discarded them because they |
were not a.s comfortable to ride j
In a.s the old machine that lie j
sticks to. I
Wealthy people can afford to j
bp unfashionable. They can also j
afford to buy the highest quality ■
of .goods in the first place. I
know one millionaire who has |
worn tile same overcoat for 20 i
W'inters, hut he payed $300 for;
it when it was new. T have spent j
more than that for a succession
of overcoats in the same period, j
In the long run. it always pays
to buy the highest quality of any
commodity, it you can afford to
tie up enoii.gh of your capital in
the initial purchase.
FI.\(;KRJ’KINT.S .... accurate
One of the reasons why there
is a popular prejudice against be
ing fingerprinted was disclosed
the other day when the Bureau
of criminal Investigiatioii, in
Washington, reported that sever
al hundred former criminals had
been detected by a comparison of
the fingerprints, taken when they
applied for jobs, with the finger
print records of convicted crim
inals on file in Washington. Many
business concerns and some mu
nicipalities and states now re
quire a fingerprint record of
every applicant for a job, and
send these records down to the
Department of Justice. I
I have long believed that the i
lime would come when every-1
body's fingerprints would be re-'
corded in infancy as a matter of
course and kept available for |
idenlification at any time iu|
later life. There is no good rea
son why this should net be done.
IXiNCEMTY but why?
An eminent scientist. Dr. Wil
liam Marias .Maliaoff. predicted.
the other day that scientific re-;
search would find ways of length-.
ening human life until 'men might.
ordinarily live for possibly hun
dreds of years. In view of what |
has already been achieved in this \
direction, tiiat does not seem to j
me at all impossible. |
Mere longevity, however, does i
not seem to me of any great
value, either to the individual or j
to society, unless some way is i
found at the same time of utlliz-
ing intelligently the experience'
which only the passage of years
enables one to accumulate. It Is
interesting to imagine a world
in which the majority of inhabi
tants were centenarians. It would,
at least, be a world in which
fewer futile social experiments
were undertaken.
