FAMILY NEEDS SHOWN IN
STUDY OF GEORGIA JOBLESS
Washington.—Three out of every
ten persons who registered as "to
tally unemployed in Georgia during
the unemployment census in Novem
ber had no other workers in their
families, a detailed survey of Geor
gia returns has revealed.
Of 78,628 males registering as
totaly unemployed, 35.1 per cent had
no other workers in their families,
and of 52,035 females similarly
registering, 22.7 per cent had no per
sons working in their families.
The survey also revealed that 8.4
per cent of totally unemployed per
sons had six or more dependents,
28.2 per cent had three or more, and
about one in five had no dependents.
Broken down into age groups,
f)9.1 per cent of the totally unem
ployed were between the ages of 14
and 34.
These figures were for persons,
not on relief work or other emer
gency jobs.
Of 130,661 totally unemployed,
26,584 had not worked a single week
for at least a year.
EVERY MOTHER’S PRAYER
Twenty years ago, on July 25,
1918, the Germans were training
their big guns on the French village
of Saint en Goele. At the height of
the bombardment, Mrs. Marie Mar
lot gave birth to triplets, all boys.
It is not difficult to imagine what
were the mother’s thoughts. And
her prayers were certainly that her
babies would not see another war.
But that was 20 years ago, and 20
years is time enough for nations to
rebuild their war machines and pre
pare for their next blood spilling.
Armies are still made up of men.
So the other day Leon, Emile and
Camille Marlot entered the French
military service. And some day soon
the three youths may even be fight
ing for their country.
And thus will one more European
mother’s prayers go unanswered.
Ford Again Says Better
Times Ahead in Nation
Detroit.—Henry Ford, back at
work after a two months vacation on
hia Georgia plantation, reiterated in
an interview recently his conviction
that a prosperous era is ahead, talk
ed about wars, dictatorships and im
migration, and said he was plunging
into preparation for volume produc
tion of his cheap tractor.
“Nothing that has occurred dur
; ing the last few weeks,’’ he said,
“has changed my belief that a pros
perous era is ahead of us. It will
come through a greater realization
I that all wealth comes from the soil
and that there must be a greater
! cultivation of the land.”
Ford is nearing his 75th birthday
anniversary.
He said he has not changed his
convictions about the futility of
wars.
“Nobody wins a war but the fi
nancial interests that promote it and
make preparations for it,” he said.
Of dictatorships, he said: “If a
dictatorship comes here it will be
because the people have been asleep
and deserve it.” He added, how
ever, that a dictatorship or the
threat of such a condition did not
alarm him. “There will be a way to
handle it or destroy it if it comes,”
he said.
Of his back-to-the-farm philoso
phy, Ford said he was convinced a
greater production of the soil would
lead the way to general recovery.
Ford said he found no justifica-
tion for curtailing immigration quo
tas. “The nation,” he said, “is big
enough to absorb any or all of those
people unable to find happiness and
comfort in their home lands.”
Apparently in excellent health,
Ford went back to work with the
parting comment that a combination
of youthful vigor and mature wis
dom is needed to conduct the world’s
affairs.
“Deprive the world of the brains
of men and women above 50 years
of age,” he said, “and everything
must come to a standstill. Neither
age alone nor youth alone can run
the world’s affairs. A cross section
of both is needed.”

BRIGHTER ERA FOR SOUTH IS
SEEN BY CULLY A. COBB
Atlanta.—Cully A. Cobb, former
director of the AAA cotton program,
drew a parallel between farm con
ditions in 1933 and 1938; and
said that through the medium of the
new Agricultural Adjustment Act
“we are again on our way up and
out.”
Addressing the Atlanta Kiwanis
club, Cobb, now president of the
Ruralist Press, Inc., here declared
prosperity for the south still was
rooted in a prosperous agriculture
and that it was based, as always, on
the profitable production of cotton.
He said that “for the long pull,”
prospects for the south are the
brightest they have been.
Women nre like newspapers be
cause they have forms that are made
up; they have bold face type; they
always have the last word; back
numbers aren’t in demand; they
have a great deal of influence; they
are well worth looking over; you
can’t believe everything they say;
they carry the news wherever they
go; if they know anything they usu
ally tell it; they are never afraid to
speak; they are much thinner than
they used to be; every man should
have one of his own and not borrow
his neighbor’s.

Maltreu Making
Making a mattresa at home may
found like a big job to some people,
but numerous Georgia farm women
havu accomplished this feat, not
once, but many times.
A comfortable and useful mat
tress can be made from scrappy cot
ton, or “last pickings,” with little
effort and a negligible expense.
Here are a few suggestions which
might help with the construction of
a home-made mattress.
Materials needed for making the
mattress include: two carpenter’s
saw horses, several narrow planks, a
broom handle, ten yards of feather
ticking 32 inches wide, tufting twine,
needles, thimble, scissors, thread, a
whet rock, ami the cotton. Making
a mattress for a double bed will re
quire about 45 pounds of cotton. It
Is necessary that the cotton be
freshly-ginned. The actual cost of
a mattress of this kind is about
$2.50.
First, cut 4 strips of the 32-inch
ticking 83 inches long. Sew the sel
vage of two of the 32-inch widths
together, using a half-inch flat-felled
machine-stitch seam to make the top.
Tear off the extra width of six inch
es and use this strip for part of the
side boxing. Make the bottom of
the tick the same way. Round off
the corners of top and bottom of
tick, and for the remainder of the
boxing, tear off strips six inches
wide.
To make the boxing, sew the six
inch strips end to end. Cut off any
extra length so that the resulting
piece will fit around the bottom of
the tick. Sew the boxing to the bot
tom of the tick with a flat-felled seam
a half-inch wide. Then sew the top
of tick to the top of the boxing,
leaving about 8 inches at each end.
You are then ready to place the
tick on a table and stuff the freshly
ginned cotton in each end, as you
would put cotton in a sack. In plac
ing the cotton in the tick, be care
ful to keep it clean and to stuff the
corners and sides well. After the
tick has been filled, pin the tick and
boxing together, after carefully
fitting them. Then sew together
with a coarse double-thread, using a
whipping stitch.
After beating the mattress well to
fluff the cotton and remove all
lumps, transfer it to the tufting
table, made from the saw horses, and
mark it for tufts. It is best to have
about four main rows of tufting
with six tufts in each row, and three
shorter rows with five tufts in each.
These tufts may be made at home
from ticking or leather, or cotton
tufts may be bought.
The tufting is then completed by
sewing the twine through the mark
ed points, using a continuous thread.
A regular tufting needle, 18 inches
long, is best for this purpose. After
the tufts are in place, they are
tightened by making a slip knot.
The mattress is completed by mak
ing a roll edge with a 6 or 8-inch
stitching needle.
Homemakers who wish to make a
cotton mattress can secure full de
tails by writing to the office of the
County Home Demonstration Agent.
TORNADOES CAUSES DEATH
AND DESTRUCTION
At least 10 persons were killed
and 160 injured by a tornado which
swept through four Southwestern
states Wednesday of last week.
Starting in Arkansas, the twister
moved into Missouri, Oklahoma and
Kansas. An 81-year-old farmer,
John W. Allen, died near Shaw, Mo.,
when his home w r as blown away,
while a woman perished in Conway,
Ark.
At Columbus, Kan., a school and
200 houses were demolished. The
town waterworks was leveled. Eight
bodies, four of them small children,
were taken from the ruins. Another
child was missing. The injured list
at Columbus alone was estimated at
150.
The death toll would have been
terriffic in Columbus, it was stated,
but for the fact that 15 minutes
before the arrival of the tornado,
most of the pupils had been dis
missed.

REPUTATION
NO hostess ever made a reputa
tion with a routine dish.
Imagine, for instance, trying to
convince your dinner guests that
your stewed corn excelled that of
any other hostess they know.
Stewed corn is an excellent dish,
but it does not excel. If you want
to make a hit with a dish which
contains corn, you must dress it
up into something like this
Corn and Mushroom Casserole :
Saut6 two tablespoons sliced onion
in one tablespoon butter for sev
eral minutes. Add the contents of
a 4-ounce can mushrooms and a
No. 2 can creamy corn, three
fourths cup grated cheese, three
fourths cup chili sauce and salt
and pepper to taste. Turn into a
buttered casserole, and bake in a
moderate —375 degree—oven for
about thirty minutes. Seryes six.
A Luncheon Dish
Of, if you want a corn dish that
looks attractive and tastes twict
as good as it looks, to serve at s
luncheon party, try this
Tomatoes Stuffed with Corn,
Celery and Cucumbers: Cut stem
ends from eight firm tomatoes,
scoop out centers and dust inside
with salt. Saut6 one-half cup
diced celery and one-half cup diced
cucumbers in two tablespoons but
ter for several minutes, add one
cup creamy canned corn, and, if
too dry, add two or three table
spoons cream. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Fill toma
toes with this mixture and top
with buttered crumbs. Around
each tomato wrap a slice of bacon
fastening with a toothpick. Bake
in a moderate over for about
thirty minutes, or until tomatoes
done and corn brown. Serves
eight.*
