It' a case of plain arithmetic that young men can weather unem- ployment better than their elders, having fewer mouths to feed, fewer feet to shod. But a employer, looking only at efficiency d and economy, compares the head with the bald pate and takes the former. Young men learn quicker, adapt themselves better, turn out superior work. At least, it's the argument Tables Are Turned. The man over 40 Is a problem of the machine age. Once, in the days of guild supremacy, the situation was reversed. Every youth was an were whose hands apprentice thought unskilled, whose talents were shaped under the guidance of a wizened elder. Moreover, in that simple world it was satisfaction enough that all hands were busy; the age of specialization had not arrived. If you should look In the department of labor files at Washington, the case of John Brown would furnish an example of todays dilemma. Browm Is 45. married and has two His days children. started after grammar school because his widowed mother needed help. At 15 he found work In a local factory, took time out to serve overseas in the World war, then worked steadily until the depression days of 1932. Meanwhile, he had been married, had bought himself a home, took out Insurance and built up a small savings account. But from 1932 to 1937, John Brown could find no work. His savings disappeared, he lost his insurance and When his house was mortgaged. the the factory finally boss refused to give him a Job; said he needed younger men. In consequence John Brown doesnt know where to turn. His lifes work has been specialized and hed have to start as an apprentice In another trade. With many, many years of usefulness ahead of him, this man has reached an age when industry turns him out. Why? Industry's Answer. As their first reason, employers say he Is a "bad physical risk, that hes entering the period in life when degenerative diseases will lower his efficiency. But employers are generalizing here; a mans susceptibility to disease almost always depends on the type of work he does. Highest death rates are found among unskilled laborers. Statistics show that frequency of sickness decreases with advancing age, though older people have more severe illnesses. The only fair course is to let a physician determine whether the man over 40 is a "bad physical risk. The employer's second reason Is "bad accident risk, notwithstanding repeated surveys which show the man over 40 is more careful thaif younger workers. Caution is of age.

Nor does the mere statement of the case convey any idea of the seriousness of the situation. For it is unfortunate that diseased teeth and dental infections which may result from unchecked decay, seldom incapacitate the sufferer. Thus the victim does not become sufficiently alarmed to take the steps necessary to arrest the progress of the diseased condition. Yet a single decayed tooth might be compared to a poison factory, distributing its noxious products to every part of the body, and tooth decay may be indirectly responsible for rheumatic ailments, neuritis, dyspepsia or duodenal ulcers.

Meanwhile, the man over 40 is being given the attention he deserves. Massachusetts has empowered it department of labor to publish the names of employers who discriminate against certain persons on account of age. And Secretary of Labor Perkins has added her opinion that "it is against common sense to leave people of 40, 45 and 50 out of work when they are willing and able to work. But perhaps employers have a just reason to discriminate. Before America can solve this great social problem, she must find the true cause.
