Unemployment Visioned By Miss Abbott Washington, D. C. (AFLNS).— Old age pension laws and unemploy ment insurance laws are commend able as far as they go but they do not provide camplete protection for either the unemployed or other dependent persons, Miss Grace Abbott, former chief of the Fereral Children’s Bu reau and now with the University of Chicago, told the national conference of the American Association of So cial Workers in session here. Although the Social Security Act was a great step forward, she said, ‘•it does not mean that relief will no longer be necessary,” and that a con tinuance of Federal aid to the States for relief work was necessary to avoid wholesale suffering in all sec tions of the country. “It is not now politically possible to guarantee employment to all those able to work but who are or will be unemployed,” she added. “Clearly, we must still have public assistance or suffering will be widespread and acute.” She declared that ‘constant change in Federal relief policies has made the development of a sense of State responsibility and a permanent State policy difficult, not to say impossible.” LABOR VISITORS AT TH EJOURNAL OFFICE Mr. Frank J.

Lonely People of World Found on Small Islands The loneliest Britons are to be found among the smalleF islands of the Hebrides, observes a writer In Pear son's London Weekly. Many of them believe In fairies and in ghosts; the ghosts are always green. Several of the Isles have less than a dozen in habitants, some less than half a dozen. No roads, no motor cars, no cinemas, no dances, no hospitals. The world’s loneliest petrol pump is Bidon Cinq, In the middle of the Sa hara desert, in Algerian territory. One Arab looks after it, selling water be sides petrol. The first Arab put in charge went out of his mind. Sailors say the loneliest lighthouse Is out in the Red sea. off Suakin. It is known as the Widow’s Tears, because it was built by the generosity of a British captain whose ship was wrecked on the Djebel Ter rock For a long time no keeper would agree to dwell there, and its* tending was entrusted to convicts, who were let oil part of their sentence as a reward. Britain's loneliest band Is! that of tlie bagpipe players of the Isle of Arranmore, off Donegal, Night watchmen are the loneliest workers in cities. Month after month and year after year, they go their soli tar.v rounds through stores and ware '•user, until the pale light of dawn culls them Imine, to bed. TsblJ Tenn.s Had Start in hdia, Authority Says Table tennis started in India some time before 11)00. Like most pastimes, was the outcome of boredom. Eng lish officers, tired of tinkling their drinks on the veranda before dinner, made a ball out of a wad of assorted feathers packed tightly In a woven cloth cover and began batting it around with holllow vellum rackets. They stacked books across the library table to serve as a net and made Indoor tennis of the tiling, writes Kyle Crich ton in Collier’s Weekly. Iu the early period, the game was all patpat, but because the old shuttle cock was heavy the players learned to drive It. This went on until the cellu loid ball was generally adopted. The next innovation was the bat, which up to that time had been a plain wooden paddle. It was In 1902 in London that a man named flood walked into an apothecary shop to get a headache powder and came away with the rubber mat on which the drug gist counted out (he change. He glued the rubber mat to the smooth wooden paddle and proceeded to make himself champion of England, spin ning the ball past the old masters with the utmost aplomb. KNOX BROS.
