How much do they get and how do they get it? The worker goes through few motions himself. Payments will be made on the conditions of his |: working life, and the will supply the records on that. employer But the worker must qualify. He must be 65 years or more to get old age benefits. He must have worked a certain length of time to get unemploy- ment compensation when he is thrown out of work. He can begin to draw unem- ployment compensation any time after Jan. 1, 1938, depending on his state’s laws. Legislatures are busy now writing those laws.

They differ for the two types of payments. For the pensation he must: First, be out of work. The other conditions will vary from state to state, since details left by the security act to the state legislatures. However, most states he will draw pay for 16 weeks out of each year 1f un- employed. He will wait from two to six weeks after losing his job before compensation begins. Most of the states will pay him 50 per cent of his regular wages up to $15 a week. which is the maximum set by most of the state laws. The money will come from a tax placed on employers’ payrolls, but in some states the employes also will be taxed, and the tax will begin to be deducted this year from their paychecks, Some Workers Excluded Systems for re-employing worker are not yet crystalized. unemployment com- are in The federal re-employment office} may be used.

Smith, ie causing Demo- experts more trouble than any other mil- lion words in the dictionary. F guesses what Smith really meant when he told the Liberty Leaguers he expected to take a “walk” if the Democratic national’ conven- tion erdorsed the record of the Roosevelt administration. Where is the to take place. how long will it last, in walk what direction will it lead, where-will it end?, Did he mean it in the physical sense, and does he plan to attend the convention, oppose such an en- dorsement, and then walk out to the dramatic accompaniment of; cheers and jeers when he loses the fight? Will he walk up the gangplank of an outgoing steamer, and while away the campaign in silence and sightseeing? If he remains on American soil, will his footsteps lead him only around his familiar haunts in New York state, or along the trail of national political spellbinding? Will he walk into the Republi- can party, for the time being, or in charge of the Key West Aqua-j dependent party? rium, returned yesterday from ‘a week's visit to Gainesville where he spent most of his time at the ‘library of Florida University. Mr, Pierce’s objeetive was to make an intensive study of new specimens which have been re- ceived at the aquarium since he has been placed in charge, and also to comprehensively study the operation of the crawfish hatch- ery which is to be started this summer in connection with the aquarium, Both of his objectives were attained most satisfactorily, Mr. Pierce told The Citizen today. PATIENT TAKEN TO SANITARIUM Declared mentally ill following an examination by physicians, Mrs. George B. Schmucker is to be placed in the care of compet- ent alienists until she recovers. Mrs. Sehmucker arrived about two weeks ago from her home in New Orleans to visit her mother and sisters. and recuperate from a serious nervous condition, Sev- eral days ago this became worse and physicians were summoned for fa consultation. She left yesterday accompan- ied by Miss Bessie Piodela and Everett Rivas for a sanatarium in Florida. f where the air blows pute, says Dr. Frank J. Jirka, state director of public health, The reason, says Dr. Jirka, is that rural areas are lagging be- hind urban centers in health} standards and ¢onditions because! of backwardness in establishing efficient public health depart-! ments for country service. “Death rates from typhoid | fever, measles, whooping cough! and malaria were twice as high| among rural as among urban in-: habitants ‘a 1934,” he says. “‘Loss-} MORE OIL FIELDS FOUND IN AUSTRIA My Anssemted Press) VIENNA, Feb. 1.--Three years | of research work neat Zistersdotf in Lower Austria by the Vacuum and Shell. oil companies has even- tuated in formation of the “Ro- hoel-Gewinnungs A.
