Lincclh, Nob. May 11—The Ne
braska Unemployment compensa
tion division announced today that
oollections received during the lat
calendar quarter amounted to fl,
143,334. The major part of these
collections were for payroll con
tributions due on the last calendar
quarter of 1938.
Benefit payments for the first
quarter of 1939, which was the
first quarter in which benefits
were payable under the Nebraska
law, amounted to <494,719. Thie
represented 43.3 per cent of all
■collections received to date from
Nebraska employers, including
congressional appropriation of <1,

During March alone, benefits in
4ho 49 States and territories mak
ing payments amounted So nearly
$49,000,000, an increase of close
to 41 per cent over the previous
m-mth. More than a million work
ers were reported as drawing
benefit* In March, but by April
tho number had dropped to about
T50.000.
Unemployment benefits are now
Point* paid in all but two states,
Illinois and Mnn'ana, and these
will begin” their benefit-payment
program* in July, bringing the
unemployment compensation sys
tem into full operation throughout
tho nation.
Now York paid out over $11,
600,000 in March, or almost a
quarter of the total payments
made during the month. Denefit
payments in California, Michigan,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania accounted for ap
proximately 60 per cent of the
total amount paid out.
Tho average weekly benefit for .
total unemployment in March j
ranged from $15.37 in Alaska to ^
$5.25 in Mississippi. For partial !
unemployment the average ranged
from $13.17 in Wyoming to $3.92
in Georgia.
During the month of March,
5,314 initial claima for benefits
were received in ^he central of
fice of the Nebraska division. Of
the total number of initial claims
received, 1,902 were additional
claim g received during March de
creased 1,085 from the new claims
received during February. Addi
tional claims received during
March increased 1,876 over the
month of February.
The increase in the volume of
additional claima during the month
of Maneh was due to the fact that,
after March 18, wage credits earn
ed during the fourth calendar
quarter of 1938 were available for
redetermination trf benefit rights.
Persona who had exhausted their
rights based on wage credits earn
ed during the first three quarters
of 1938 filed an additional claim
to secure creditB for employment
during the fourth calendar quarter
of 1938 The decline in the num
ber of new claims received during
March was due partly to the in
crease in employment experienced
during March.
The total number of continued
claims received during March, in
cluding waiting period claims filed
was 36,277. or approximately the
•same number received during Feb
ruary.
Out of 22,341 new claima dis
posed otf during January, Febru
ary and March, 1939, 2,690 or 12
per cent, excluding labor dispute’
were reopened for reconsideration
by the Unemployment Compensa
tion division at the request of the
claimant or the employer.

TIONS B ASSOCIATION
Simple, inexpensive ways of
lowering flhe temperature inside
the home in a summer heat wave
are n</w easy to find, says a bul
letin of the National Warm Air
Heating and Aid Conditioning As
sociation; but the particular met
| hod bost suited to each individual
; case may depend upon a mvrbe:
1 of different factors. It is always
' bost in any event to select a sum
mer cooling method which will be
readily adaptable to complete
year- round air conaiumun^ i
on.
The climate with which you arc
dealing naturally make* a differ
ence. One type of cooling may be
best for a region where the sum
mer is short but with occassional
severe heat waves, and another
where there is a long warm season
with no marked climaxes. The
general design of tbs house, its
location and exposure most aleo
be taken into account
The simplest- least jostly and
noil widely adaptable method in
volves only the use of cool night
aid drawn into and circulated
through the house in the exist
ing ducts of the warm air heating
system by the forced-air blower
fan. The method i« particularly
suited to climaxes in wnicn zoai
nights prevail. Good results aan
be alao accomplished by the wee
of a large capacity attic fan.
The next atap !• the use ef
cooling ooili with water from the
house supply. This requires careful
checking beforehand both to make
sure the water temperature does
not exreed about WO degree, F.,
that the supply is ample and that
the used circulating water can
be readily disposed of. In many
cities this method is not permit
ted, both because of the demand
for water and the eteaia on the
sewer system. In such oases a
small refrigerating unit, though
costing more eriginally, will be
more satisfactory in the long run.

i DO YOU REMEMBER '
RACE HORSE DOPE
I ‘old you last week how soma
people place a bet i <n two horses
in the same race with great suc
cess. It can be done. Horses to
watch are recently claimed horses.
They are the best horses to watch
an only fit horses are claimed. A
trainer makes a claim only when
they feel they are gitting a bar
gain. Horses that have been claim
ed often pay for themselves the
first time they race under the
cok.r of the new owner. Therefore
these horses shoud be followed at
least three time8 or until they
win
Frequently a claimed horse is
shipped to another track. Watch
entries carefully at all tracks for
horses that have been claimed.
The most hated person on a race
track is a docker iKs of times a
docker stops a horse owner from
making money. That's why they
hate him. A docker ruins many a
contemplated coup by catching a
sleeper in a last work out and
broadcast the fact. In may not be
a bit surprising that trainers as a
rule regards the docker as their
enemies. You ^aild too if y°u
owned a horse.
I waa in the Bluffs Tuesday. I
noticed quite a number of the fe
male sex playing the ponies. Some
was doing right well for them
selves and some were just gett
ing their knowledge back
after a year lay-off for it is only
21 more days befi re they will be
off at dear old Aksarben. I eee
by the daily papers there will be
tot. gf west coast horses here
and also jockeys. 8ome you re
member and some you never saw
before Of all the jockey* that will
ride here I will give you their
riding average fit to week to wee
so you will know who is riding for
your two bucks.

ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
By FLOYD J. CALVIN
(Listed by Editor and publisher)
VICTORY
The world listened to Marian
Anderson Sunday, singing from
the Lincoln Memorial in Washing
ton. Her appearance represented
final and complete victory over
the Daughters of the American Re
volution who refused the use of
Constitution Hall for her rec;tal.
Perhaps it was providential that
trie DAR refused ‘he hall, for
by the refusal, the whole question
of bigotry in the DAR and in all
phases of our national life came
right out into the open. The fact
that the Federal Government back
ed Miss Aaderson by granting use
of the Lincoln Shrine and that
75,000 people turned out to hear
her, without semblance of segre
gation, is victory enough for the
moment.
Those who were fortunate
enough to hear Miss Anderson on
Sunday testify with one accord
that she never sang better; that
her voice moved to tears. The daily
press heralded the event, in both
story and pictures.
We are still proud to claim ci
tizenship in the United States of
America. We are sometimes dis
appointed by act* of some of our
fellow citizens, but on the whole
• .
we believe we can always rely
ami justice in this country. May
on the ultimate triumph of right
this ever be so
MORE ADVERTISING
We are pleased to note the in
creasing advertising space being
given the newspapers by our in
surance companies. The latest big
step forward in this field has been
taken by the Supreme Liberty Life
of ChSeago. Somo time at>> th#
Nordi Carolina Mutual adopted th*
policy of being more generous i»
placing advortieing in tthe press,
and the example of this progres
sive Durham concern, which de
servedly is the leader in its field,
is bearing fruit with other com
panies.
But our belief i3 that the Negre
insurance companies, on the whole,
are not yet spendng money witdi
the newspapers in the proper pro
portion—in pn portion to their
ability, in proportion to the re
turns they might receive and m
proportion to the appreciate*
they should show for the Negre
press, in season and v lit, advocat
ing such an attitude toward Negro
business on the part of the pubdie
that; makes possible the continuod
grow h of these companies.
Air Pilots
Our thanks and congratulation*
are extended to Mr. Edgar G.
(Brown, president of the United
Government Employees of Wash
ington, D. C., wiho made the bril
liant and successful fight to have
special provision included in the
National Defense Act which di
rect* that Negro air pilot* shall
be trained for the U. S, Army.
Mr. Brown with superb tact, fault
less strategy and a persistence
which has been demonstrated by
few leaders, kept relentlessly en
the job until victory was won.
Instead of resting tin his oar*.
Mr. Brown has already launched
a new fight to itchier* the same
victory for tihe race in the U. S.
Nary. He has already appeared be
fore the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs, and received, ac
cording to the printed record of
the hearings, a respectful audience
and made a fine impression.
The new fight is to have (ihe law
direct thaS the Secretary of the
Navy order tho training of Color
er pilot* at specific locations. Of
course we hope that Mr. Brown
wins again. It is a race fight, and
the race needs this new victory.
