It is far out in front in the percentage of blind receiving cash grants, but trails other southern states in the per- centage of dependent children receiving aid. In the Old Age Assistance group, Florida is paying benefits to 1,996 recipients per 100,000 population. Kentucky is runner- | bama, 714; Arkansas, 1,290; Geor- gia, 1,242; Louisiana, 1,455; Mis- sissippi, 1,153;, North Carolina, 1,038;,, South Carolina, 914; Ten- nessee, , 1,384; Texas, 1,877; Vit- ginia, 737. ..., Florida is paying Aid to the Blind, to..130 recipients of each 100,000,population. Next in line is: Tenessee,with 57... Alabama is last with but 21. In the Aid to Dependent Chil- dren category, Louisiana assumes the leadership with 1,728 of each 100,000 population, as compared with Florida’s 406. Other states: Alabama 601, Arkansas 1795, Georgia 372, North Carolina 663, South Carolina 471, Tennessee 1,247 and Virginia 439. RT | AGE.

The time is approaching, if it is it not already at hand, when the United States will assert its rights on the high seas more vigorously.
