A—2 wxw WISCONSINREADY T0 PAY JOBLES Unemployment Insurance Fund of $12,000,000 Avail- able Tomorrow. Ey the Ascoctated Press. MADISON, Wis.,, June 30.—Wiscon- sin's new unemployment insurance law—the Nation's first—goes into ef- fect tomorrow. Four hundred thousand workers will be eligible to receive benefits under its provisions if they lose their jobs after it begins to cperate July 1 A $12,000,000 fund will be on hand if payments are needed on the first dav. This cozy nest egg was built up by Wisconsin employers under the State unemployment insurance law since 1934. The ploneer statute took hold then to cover employers of 10 or more persons, long before enactment of the Federal unemployment insurance clause in the national social security act. Written Into Law in 1931, The Wisconsin law was placed on | the statute books by the 1931 special gession of the Legislature. Enforce- ment, however, was delayed by the| succeeding Legislature until 1934 be- cause industry found itself financially | unable to assume the cost. In 1934 employers began contrib- uting up to 2 per cent of their month- 1y pay rolls toward separate reserve | accounts, which have now reached | $12,000,000, and will increase as time | goes on. The 1935 Legislature amended the | time of withdrawals to dovetall with | the Federal law. 400,000 Potentially Eligible. Approximately 3.000 employers are affected and the 400,000 workers po- tentially eligible for assistance if they lose their jobs are those earning an average of $1.500 a year or less. The minimum benefit is $5 a week. This 15 increased to $10 for those| whose full-time pay is $25 a week: ml $12.50 for an average pay of $25 to $30 ek; and to $15, the top rate, for rkers who normally receive $30 a | week. | The duration of the benefits pends on how long & person worked for his employer after probationary service period has e: pired.

PLANT that can count two may be found these days at florists and pet-shops. It is the famous Venus' fly trap, which sports the scientific name of dionoera muscipula. The leaves have prongs which inter- lock when an unwary insect touches a fine hair in the center of the leaf. . The plant waits for a second “touch,” however, before closing up. Local fanciers who own these in- teresting specimens often demonstrate the intelligence of the fly trap by tickling it with a bit of straw. In- variably it requires two tickles to make the leaves move. It the fly manages to escape, the leaves remain locked for about 15 minutes before opening again. * ok K % SHINE If you ever see a chap walking down the street with ome shoe shined, the other looking pretty seedy, it may be a park policeman walked up at the wrong time. That's what happened to a cus- tomer of one of the street shine boys yesterday. He had been told that it was against the regulations to sell shines in the park without authorization; the policeman who gave him the warning turning his back while the first j0b was being finished. When he looked around again, the youngster was busy on a second pair of shoes. The lad did not wait to see what was going to happen. He just grabbed his equipment and ran, leaving the customer looking silly and feeling furious. * ok X % COOLED.

By the Associzted Press. J. L. Keeshin, who has built up a Nation-wide motor-truck network dur- ing recent years, and his financial backers, the New York banking house of Lehman Bros., were objects of a sharply worded attack filed today with the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. Counsel for the Middle Atlantic States Motor Carrier Conference, Inc., contended Keeshin and the banking firm had used a “dummy corporation” in an effort to avoid terms of the 1935 motor carrier act, which placed highway transportation under the I. C. C. control. Claiming to represent 500 motor carriers, with a total annual business of more than $50,000,000, the attor- neys asked the I. C. C. to refuse au- thorization for purchase of the Sea- board Freight Lines by the Keeshin Transcontinental Freight Lines, Inc. The protesting truckers asserted Keeshin and the banking firm had | paid $250,000 for control of Seaboard |late in 1938, before I. C. C. approval and in violation of the 1935 act.

BACKGROUND— Prime Minister Baldwin's govern- ‘ment has been under sharp fire, par- ticularly jrom the Labor benches, because of initiative taken by for- eign office to lift sanctions against Italy. In a recent school address, Bald- win intimated that he might not be much longer in office. Yesterday he remained from the Commons session, although his gove ernment was under heavy fire. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 30.—The British government was defeated tonight in the House of Lords. The defeat, which has no immediate practical effect on the status of the government itself, came when the Archbishop of Canterbury moved an amendment to the education bill. It carried by a vote of 32 to 29. Earl de la Warr, parliamentary sec- 1etary for the Board of Education, opposed the amendment, which dealt, smong other things, with the ques- tion of state grants of money to schools. The education secretary contended the provision went outside the limits of compromise already agreed upon by the government and religious bodies. ‘Tonight's House of Lords vote came while rumors Prime Minister Baldwin might resign flooded official circles. Pondering Decision. Despite a fresh vote of confidence from the House of Commons, Bald- win was reported pondering his pos- sible resignation at his country home. His return to London was said to have been postponed until next week. Scathing attacks from the opposi- tion against his government continued as the prime minister sought relief trom nervous exhaustion and insom- | nia brought on by pressure of official duties. His newest parliamentary victory came in rejection of a labor motion | during debate over a speech in Paris recently by Alfred Duff Cooper, war secretary.

THE automobile not only has the horse down, but it seems to leave no stone unturned in humiliating him while in that position. Just yesterday morning, for example, a horse who seemed to be sick of it all took it into his head to run away. Showing a fine deflance for a world which has chosen to relegate him to so inferior a place, he crashed a red light at Twenty-second street and Pennsylvania avenue, then settled into a gallop that was somewhat slowed by the wagon behind him. As quick as a flash, one of the motorists whose way the horse had impeded, swung in alongside the ex- cited animal, then proceeded coolly and calmly to cut off the runaway, sort of pinching him into the cars parked along the curb. It took about a half-block for the horse to realize the {utility of it all, come to dejected stop.

Heretofore, speeders have been charged only with third offense, re- gardless of the number of arrests and convictions against them. Lechlider has been convicted four times on speed charges since August, 1935. He was convicted a second time on a third-offense speeding charge May 15 by Judge John P.
