As Great Britain's unemployed officially passed the 2,000,000 mark last month, it "estimated that in gix Buropean countries there are to-day at least 5,949,287 persons listed as out of work. _ Italy, with 322,287 officially reported jobless, 114,094 of them women; France, with upward of 100,000 on strike and 20,000 out of work involun- tarily, and Hungary, with 400,000, mostly agrisulturists, idle, brought the total to 5,940,287 officially out of work, while Austria added 450,000 to the roll. The London Daily Herald on March 8 reported that the total of unemploy- ed in the entire world was 16,000,000. Great Britain's army of unemployed has been growing since last Autumn and went past the 2,000,000.mark on July 28. As registered in labor ex- changes throughout the country, Bri- tish upemployment, it then was dis closed in official reports, had increased Europe Germany With 2,757,000 5,949,287 In Britain the industries which have suffered most are textiles, with nearly 450,000 idle; transport, with 433,000; building trades, 170,000; coal mining, 265,000, and engineering in its various branches, 413,000. Germany has experienced an in- crease of 1,000,000 unemployed in the last year, of whom 51,000 lost their jobs in the last fortnight. In Berlin alone there are 326,935 jobless, as shown in July reports, among whom are 70,000 metal workers; 31,000 build- ing trades workers, 32,000 clerical workers and 5,200 technicians of vari ous lines. Added to these is the usual large representation of unskilled toilers. Italy's outlook took a turn for the better recently when the government made known that extensive plans had been made for employment in State work of many thousands of persons. The government held the attitude that the gains in unemployment must be checked before Winter and to that end laid down an extensive road-building program to begin Sept. 1 and 15, em- ploying 37,000 men and costing up- Heads List | here recently.

Because the star is rotating half of it is approaching the earth and half receding so that the light waves change in length just as the pitch of a bell changes as a person hearing it approaches or travels away. This change of wave in the light waves pro- duces a widening of the spectrum band, the amount of widening indicat- ing the speed of rotation. There is a considerable element of error in the figures, it is admitted, be- cause a true rate of rotation can be obtained only when the rotation is at right angles to the line of sight from the earth, The more the axis of the star is inclined away from a right an- gle to the earth, the less reliable the earth, the less reliable the error, and it is jmpossible to ascertain the angle of any star.

Artery Test Only Sure Death Test There is only one sure test for teil ing whether or not a person is really dead, says Sir Bernard Spilsbury, medical expert of Scotland Yard. This famous authority on criminological science In a recent address before the British Undertakers' Association stated that the mere stoppage of the heart doe not necessarily mean death. He poined out that many individuals have been revived by medical or surgi- cal aid after the heart had stopped beating several minutes. The one sure test, Sir Bernard stat. ed, is to open up an artery and see it it bleeds as all living arteries should, He pointed out, however, that this method seldom was practic- ed, except at the specific request of those who feared being buried alive. Another unreliable sign of death, said Sir Bernard, is the absence of breathing. Many persons have been resuscitated long after breathing stop- ped. Sir Bernard agrees with other sci- entists that, although there is little probabilly of any one's béing buried alive nowadays, the only perfect pre- caution against it is to have an artery opened by a medical man. miata Dirty Pockets Are Germ-Laden Nests Any doctor will tell you that you habitually carry about with you an army of germs on your clothes, Your pockets often present a happy hunt- ing-ground for disease-carrying germs. You can verify this statemant by emptying a single pocket. When you turn it inside out, what do you find? Little clouds of fine dust spurt from the folds and a kind of whitefluff line the seams. Were a bacteriolo- gist to analyse these he could classi- fy at least ninoteen varieties of germs. When you use your handkerchiet you carry these germs from pocket to mouth, nose, and throat. That white fluff in your pocket may be compara- tively harmless when: dry, but let it become damp through the heat of your body or a shower of rain and it provides an ideal breeding ground that fine powdery dust in your a "Sir, you see, the men haven't had anythi: g to eat, and I thought, sir-- we found this cow wanderin' around --we'd like to chip 'n and buy her."
