B—12 NAZIS HAIL GAINS IN EMPLOYMENT Lowered Living Standards Push Wages and Hours to New Lows. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, May 10.—The government hailed today as a victory for common welfare a reported decrease of 168.000 in Nazi unemployment lists. The figures admittedly left 2,234,000 idle at the end of April. In its energetic marshalling of men and figures to show a decline in un- employment, the Nazi regime is push- ing the living standard downward, lowering consumption and cutting working hours to pass the jobs around. Thousands are working for a monthly wage of 44 marks—about $17.60—or are getting that amount in doles. The weekly number of work hours is set at a maximum of 36. Overtime work is strictly forbidden. | There must be no “double earning” by man and wife. If a wife earns more than 20 marks weekly her un- employed husband is not counted as idle. Men must not change their profes- | sions or trades lest the labor market | be upset. Retailers, for the same reason, may not conduct any whole- sale business, and vice versa. | A portion of each salary above a certain figure is confiscated and given to the unemployed.

FLL, I see thai James has become & model husband, trained and house broken,” Judge Holcomb remarked an- grily to Miss Julia next Spring, & week or so before he died. It was the last time he ever talked to Miss Julia of his erstwhile prodigy. The old man passed away in his sleep very quietly just before James’ thirty-third birthday. James missed him more, had leaned on him more, than perhaps either had realized. Although in his last year the judge had been a silent rather than an active partner he was always there to advise James, prompt to laugh him out of an absurd enthusiasm or spur him from his now too fre- | quent sloth. “You lost your case today because you talked too much,” the judge once cautioned James, “You had it won hands down on two or three occasions, but you were reveling in the sound of your own voice and kept at it until you talked yourself and your client out of a victory. Never forget that talk is cheap . . . the cheapest thing in the world. Lincoln’s best spescn was written on the back of an enve- James never again talked him- self out of a case. But the judge was not always criti- cal; far from it. When James .won a case or put up a good fight the judge was the first to slap him on the back and say the heart-warming things he most wanted to hear. It did not matter so much that Jane made light of his small successes as long as James knew that he had pleased the judge. But now the judge was dead. His empty office, kept temporarily by Nappy in a state of unnatural order and cleanliness, was a daily, almost hourly, reminder that his best friend and protector had gone from him f: GREAT_RIGHCS ever. Jamés had no one now to de- pend on but himself. James slept these days alone in a back bed room and no longer wakened Joyfully, anxious to work off his super- fluous energy by romping with his wife. He ate his breakfast alone, tip- | toeing cautiously down the back stairs | for fear he might waken Jane, who had long since developed insomnia. His hair no longer stuck up aggres- sively from his crown even on special occasions, but lay meekly down where he plastered it; and he almost never wore a blue coat with checked trous- ers or vice versa. Se smoked only two cigars & day—and those at the office— and he spent his Sunday afternoons in » big chair in the Northrup library sleeping off his overlarge overrich midday dinner. Jane had quarrelled with his Aunt Sarah, and the latter had to come to the office to see her nephew, or he went occasionally to see her after- noons when he was not busy, though he never mentioned these visits at home. He grew stooped, thinner than ever, sprinkled with gray. He stopped going or telling funny stories and no one predicted a brilliant future for him. His law practice ceased to expand, shrink. him—had ceased to believe in him, as he had ceased to believe in himself. He and Jane only quarreled a half dozen times a year now—or at least James answered that often his wife's querulous complaints. But sometimes when she looked full at him James felt that she hated him—and knew that she hated him—and knew that it was because he was a failure. He felt extremely sorry for himself but | | sorrier for Jane. | He believed that he had won her under false pretenses and he never really blamed her for ceasing to love his red hair lost its brilliancy and was | | to conventions and making speeches || remsined stationary and began to ||| James realized with a lump in his || throat that his town had lost faith in || STAR, him after she found him out. He wondered at intervals, reading papers, whether Jane, if they had lived in & city would not huve asked him for a divorce. God knows she could have it for the asking. He had no desire to keep her tied to him. In the last 10 or 15 years there have been few kind words wasted on the Great War that was to end all wars. But at least there is to be said in its favor—the war ended an intolerable situation betweep Jane and James Stimson. 3 From the invasion of Belgium James had been strongly pro-ally, Jane, seemingly from pure contrari- ness, became as strongly pro-German. When in 1917 the United States finally decided to throw in its lot with the allies, Jane had to sing a different tune. This made James’ home life none the easier. James enlisted as much to get away from Jane as from patriotic reasons. This is not a war story.

C. the | ment com FRIDAY, went overseas s captain in a regi- of men from his own State, Missouri and Okla- homa. He fought at St. Mihiel, fought through the Argonne, swore, sweated, hunted cooties, laughed, worked and did his damnedest along with two million other Americans. His war record was good, though not particularly brilliant. He was noted, unfortunately, more for the fluency of his language under stress than for any feats of unusual ¢aring. The things their captain could think to say on occasions were matters of great pride to James’ company. But Capt. Stimson was really only at his best when he was fighting. He always went over the top swearing under his breath. He was making the air blue around him when he was wounded during a nasty struggie over & machine gun in the Argonne and almost shocked the war-hardened nurses while coming out of the ether. His wound was not a particuiarly serjous one, but he walked ever after MAY 10, 1935. with a slight limp. . . . And was for & long while proud enough of that limp to burst. James returned home & major and rode a prancing charger in front of his men when they marched in the big parade St. Louls arranged as their some-coming. A million people lined the streets and gave them welcome. Tomorrow, James has a curious welcome from Jane. e LAUDS WIFE'S FOLKS KANSAS CITY, Kans., May 10 (). —Dr. Thomas Richmond of Kansas City, Kans, thinks this stuff about in-laws is all wrong. To prove it he plans to charter a bus to take 25 or 30 of his wife’s relatives to the Rocky Mountains for a vacation from July 20 to August 5. He will bear all expenses of the trip, hopes all the in-laws can go. “My wife’s folks are grand peo- ple,” he said yesterday.
