"And what do they do", she asked. "Play with blocks and such?" The teacher drew herself up to a prodigious dignity and replied, "But Madame, we dont call it play ing." ? ? ? The story goes that Harlem's st. of well-to-do apartment houses that shelter such notables as Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Joe Louis ? well, it's just called "Sugar Row" ? that's all. ? ? ? Plans for New York's World's Fair in 1939 will have to include trans portation. The site is an hour away from town, and subways are taxed to the limit at rush hours now! ? ? ? Over the stage <|oor entrance of Earl Carroll's theater where the Van ities used to play, is inscribed the legend, "Through these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world." Billy Rose has a variation in huge letters at the stage entrance to the "Jurbfo" theater stage entrance: "Through these portals pass the most beautiful horses in the world." ? ? ? One of the tailors of the town says he has orders for two satin-lined In verness opera capes of the old school, and with an abstracted look in his eye wonders whether the tophat trade is returning to old-fashioned elegance. ? ? 9 Watching the important money being spent in the fashionable night clubs, the more exclusive Jewelers' and furriers* shops, and the fancy new au tomobiles that roll out of salesrooms every day in New York, it looks like the beginning of a genuine boom. A recent order being talked about, was for a $100,000 chinchilla coat. The fur riers reported the market simply couldn't supply the skins t TODAY and TOMW FRANK PARKER I STOCKBRIDGE LAMPS Kerosene A kerosene lamp? or, as the Eng lish call it, a "paraffin" .lamp? ex ploded in the servants' quarters of fho James's Palace In London, where the Prince of Wales lives, the other aay, and set Are to the building, i ave heard of nothing recently which so aptly illustrates how long it takes to bring new inventions and conren :f"ce?

Mr. Pord has assembled there the argest collection of American anti world. the purpose of showing the students in his trade oo and others ? how things used to be made and done. The windmill is perhaps the most primitive ?f all of man's efforts to harness the forces of nature, and was efficient enough when nobody was in a hurry to get things done.

UNEMPLOYMENT The greatest advantage of the new Unemployment Compensation law in the social Security Act, is that it 'will effectively separate the sheep from the goats. It will provide compensa tion when "laid off" for workers who have really been on payrolls, and leave only the chronic loafers to "re lief. * Nobody knows, nobody ever has known how many genuine cases there are now or have been at any time of men and women willing and able to work, but unemployed through no fault of their own. The number, I be lieve, is much smaller than most of the so-called statistics would indicate. Before the Social Security Act has been in effect very long, we'll have some actual facts before us when we talk about unemployment. ? ? ? FINGERPRINTS on file One of the provisions of the social Security Act seems to point to the fingerprinting of every worker.. Every one who pays the Old Age Tax or for whom it is paid, has got to have not only proof that it has been paid, but that he is the individual entitled to its benefits, when the time comes to collect. The Act contemplates a system of books, stamps and coupons, and "any Ihelpful means of Identification." I foresee a new social system in Amer ica, like that of European countries, where everybody ? at least all of us who work for wages ? will have to car ry his complete dossier, a record of where he was born, where he has worked, how much he has earned and proof that his Old Age tax has been paid. And all of those Individual records, some 40 to 50 million of them, with fingerprints, will have to be on file in Washington. o State's New Gas Chamber Will Be Tested On Friday Raleigh, Nov. 26 ?
