Supreme Court Upholds State Job Insurance Law
Washington, Nov. 23—(UP)—The United States Supreme Court today upheld New York's state unemployment insurance law in a split decision which the administration believed would bring favorable ruling on the vast Social Security program, into which it dwelled.
Federal officiaries acted promptly to spread the job insurance plan by asking all states to pass statutes that included about $800,000 workers in 19 states and the District of Columbia are protected under this type of plan which taxes employers to provide the same benefits to all earners though out of work.
Chairman John G. Winnat of the Social Security Board, said he hoped all states not yet in the system "will now proceed quickly toward enactment of the necessary legislation."
"The Social Security board stands ready," he said, "on invitations of any state to give every possible assistance in the formulation of an unemployment compensation law that provides for the requirements of their particular state and will conform with the national security act."

The Theta's buffeted them about at a buffet supper Sunday night. About $30 "T$0" Carruth sent word to Herb Lodge, of the Phi Gam lodge, who was in the picture show, that he was invited. Herb, being rather annoyed at being asked so late replied that he would come as soon as the show was out. In the meantime, Jim Kell, one of the brothers, filled in for Lodge and when the latter returned from the cinema he was sans date, and sans a feed-bag. All of which reminded Theta that he couldn't figure out which one of the Delta Zeta girls to take to the former's party. But then, that was in the good old days.

The biggest hoax of the school year occurred over the week-end. One of the bellies of the campus with a lad in town walked down town but seeing no picture shows that she was interested in, hopped a train to the City to get a coke (?). The jig comes when the girl called her landlord from the Lawrence station, and, feigning a long distance phone call, reported that she was in Kannas City and would be unable

Lewis looked down at his bandaged hands. He thought of the paws of a little polar bear, hair and clump; one had wanted to cut off his hands because they had, been so badly crushed but Lewis had begged them not to. He couldn't stand to think of not having, any hands, at all, even though they would be mangled and crooked.
Although the committee bluntly and bitingly assailed John L. Lewis and his murgrains CLO, aides for "biting the hand that fed them" in the past, it kept the door open for future peace negotiations and invited the suspended union to return to the A. F. of L. fold.
m Lewis noticed that the early morn- Reing sunlight through the window had enabled a clearance on the wall.

3. It all had happened so suddenly after he swerved to the side of the road to avoid an onurishing car that was holding to the center. He had struck a pile of gravel left there by a highway construction going and was thrown out of the car the first time he fell. He fell down and T unconscious with his head f above his head. The car rolled over into its top pinning his wrists and hands, barely missing his head. He must have lain that way for hours; his hands were a soggy, spongy mum if blood when a passing truck found him. Everyone marvelled that he had come in seemed to think much about his st hands which were his sole means of support.

"No, Nita," Lewis began; his voice broke as he turned from her quenches eyes. "I'll never play again" he hobbed her a catch a boob. He saw how well he loved it. Lewis lifted one of the white midriff-like hands to touch the bent shoulders as he had often done; then he remembered and let it fall back again. "Don't cry, Nita, please," he said quietly. "Dont worry about me, Ill can find some kind of work, well many along some way. We'll never stare I guess," he added trying to force a smile.

Guns, Knives, Daggers, Stilettos, Form Part of War Veteran's Collection
By Kenneth Graeber, c'38
By Kenneth Graebel, c38
Do you miss Dyche Museum and its third-floor displays of ancien Indian artifacts and mouldy weapons of our pioneer fathers—cap an ball pistols, bowie knives, six-foot deer rifles, and Civil War swords? Do you like to rummage through philip up heaps of old relics, articles and manuscripts, such as John Brown, the Abolitionist, and General James Lane, the free state patriot, brigadier, and guerrilla leader; take them in your hands and imagine the days when they were new?
If you do, pay a visit to Mr. Lathrop Read, of Lawrence, who has spent the most part of a lifetime making a collection of just such objects. His collection cases are full of all sorts of romantic objects which he has bought, traded for, been given, and found, on many a page from his books, in the Middle West, the Southwest, and Old Mexico.
Large War Weapon Collection
There is little about the history of Lawrence and the surrounding districts that Mr. Read cannot tell you. A Spanish American war veteran, he also served during the World War, and has many interesting souvenirs to remind him of both conflicts.
His collection of knives, daggers, stilleto, and swords is perhaps his most complete. Sinister-looking, bright bladed, throwing knives from Old Mexico, labeled: "Soy fiel a mi dueno," or " Yo te quito el suena," lie next to authentic Toledo blades, brought to the new world from that famous "City of Swords" on the Iberian peninsula. There are timeworn weapons, such as the sheath made to fit into a senorita's lia, or garter. There is a Japanese sword cain with a three foot blade. There are knives, shaped like trowels, which were carried to within a few hundred miles of the North

A CORNER ON BOOKS By G. V. M.
Education Before Verdun》 by Arnold Zweig. "Know the巧, know thy thine enemies, know myself." Translated from the German by Eric Sutton. Viking Press, N. Y. 447 pages.
The Great War of the White Peoples of 1914-1918 constitutes the source of and the cause for the writing of this novel, one of a triology. "The Case of Sergent Grischa," 1928, is the first, chronologically, and "The Crowning of a King" which the author hopes to finish soon, will conclude the series. "The Great War of the White Peoples" and his expulsion from Germany has delayed the publication of this novel.
Vivid, true, without vehemence,
in his description of the war, Mr.
Zweig has presented the scenes too
expositorily. Page upon page of de-
struction, suffering, futility is pictured
without due attention paid to the main character, Private War-
zeig, the author of Zweig's second book, "Young Woman
of 1916" (1932). So much material is concerned with the actual
chronicling of the war from day to day, year to year, that the main
theme of Bertin's friendship with two young German officers,
the Kroysing brothers—the younger
part of legalized murder, and the other brother's desire for vengeance,
is difficult to follow.
The book as a whole lacks power, in that it does not have a strong central character for such a great story. The book does not arouse a true response in any single emotion. Perhaps the author will achieve in "The Crown-children" that he has so laboriously struggled with in "Education Before Verdum."
"The Spanish Revolution" will be the topic of Miss Elisa Perez, native of Spain and professor of Spanish literature at the Fireside Forum of the Convent to the Fireside Forum of the Convent. Miss Perez was in Spain this summer and has first hand information on the situation there. The meeting students are invited.
