Wants NEWS and COMMENT Ulali Consumer Hear Dr. Pclerson Dramatics Material Wyoming Law (Continued from page 1) Approval of WASHINGTON the new Wyoming unemployment compensation law, signed by the Governor of the state on February 26, was announced by the Social Security Board. With the addition of Wyoming, 38 states, among them almost all of the large industrial states in the country, are now participating in the Federal-Stat- e system of unemployment compensation established by the Social Security Act. In round numbers approximately 18,000,000 workers are employed in jobs covered by the unemployment compensation laws of these 28 states. Five more states, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington, recently enacted unemployment compensation laws, which will soon be reviewed by the Social Security Board. A survey of developments in the six states still without legislation of this type indicates that several other states may soon join the group already having unemployment compensation laws. In Nevada an unemployment compensation bill has passed both houses of the legislature and is awaiting the Governors signature. Unemployment compensation bills are' pending in the legislatures of Delaware, Missouri, and Nebraska, and in Illinois and Florida the subject is being studied with a view to future action. It is estimated that approxi- mately 40,000 workers are employed in jobs covered by the new Wyoming law. It provides for a pooled state fund to which all subject employers contribute and out of which benefits will be paid to all eligible unemployed workers without regard to the particular employer for whom they may last have worked. Employes are not required to contribute to the state fund. Employers having one or more persons on their pay rolls for some time in each of any 20 weeks during a year contribute at the rate of 1.8 per cent of wages payable during 1937 and 2.7 per cent in 1938 and thereafter. Students of public, private, and parochial schools and colleges, as well as adults who are not professional playwrights, will be intensely interested in the projects of the United States Constitution commission to secure dramatics material to be presented during the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Constitution, which begins on the 17th of next September. Not only will this project be an incentive towards creative writing, but it will stimulate among all a desire for greater students knowledge of the formation of the Constitution. The commission hopes to secure worthy plays depicting the constitutional history, background of the Constitution, and the Philadelphia convention, vhich will be extensively used in schools, churches, and organized groups of men, women and youth. The general plan of operation provides for three classifications of plays: (1) competition for high school students (juniors and seniors) in a one-aplay; (2) competition for students in colleges and universities in a one-aplay; and (3) competition for teachers and directors of dramatics in play3 of one act or more. Material offered must be submitted not later than May 7, 1937, to the drama chairman of Utah, who is acting in cooperation with the State Constitution commission. This contest for high school students terminates with the state contest. Those open to college students and teachers will be extended from a state to a national contest. will The national commission award the Constitution commemorative medal in silver and bronze to the state winners and a shrine of the Constitution to the persons in the nation winning first place in plays. Further information, as well as a list of state committees and regional committees will be supplied contestants upon application to Sol Bloom, director general, Washington, D. C.

According to the N. Y. Times, Adolph Hitler has been responsible for much middle-age- s oppression and injustice. John L. Lewis has also made it very plain that we want no nazi or communist interference in the adjustment of our human relations here. The consummate conceit of foregners, who cant make their system produce anything like our standards of living, in coming here and trying to force their methods upon us, is ridiculous to say the least.

It is an isle of women. Talcott Powell writing in the April Cosmopolitan, says: There are no young men. They move away either before they marry or immediately afterward, get jobs in the shipping centers as steamboat officers, and return no oftener than once in every five or ten years. Not five strangers a year visit the place. Saba is a community many a feminist has dreamed of a place where young vigorous and literate women are supreme. They literally run the place. They even act as vestrymen of the church. And they are magnificent, as they fight against the odds of nature to maintain the integrity of their homeland, with only a lonely old age at the end of most of them, masThey are no grim-jaweculine Amazons. They love to wear fluffy dresses which they make themselves, from patterns from the United States and silk from Curacao.

Of course, there are never nearly enough men, but they have their own stag or is it doe ? line, and pass around such men as there are with astounding generosity to one another.
