His salary is $353,755 a year. His official title with General Mo tors corporation is “vice-president in charge of research.” All his life he has had a passion for knowledge—yet when he-was go ing to a little tumbledown, one-room school 50 miles north oi Columbus, Ohio, his teacher said he was dumb. Not only that,. l;iut that he was “the dumbest boy in school.” He had his own way of getting information, and it did not coincide with the teacher’s. Finally he became a country school teacher. One day an early x-ray ma chine was brought to one town near where young Kettering was teaching. He told his pupils all he knew about j it, then said, “That machine is going to be important. The way for you to POLITICS—Exaggerate Politicians of both parties will tell you that there are many times more people unemployed than even the government figures indicate. No poli tician wants to admit that he has been wrong in telling his constitu ents about the seriousness of unem ployment. It is a very funny situation, in which both Democrats and Republi cans are concerned in trying to make out that conditions in business and industry are worse than they really are. ' The Democrats want to keep the public sold on the belief that the government must keep on spending great amounts of money to provide for the unemployed. The Republicans want to keep on pointing to the huge volume of unemployment as proof toat the Democrats have fail^ to make a dent in the problem, though they have spent billions in the at tempt. There never has been a time when there were not some people unem ployed. There has seldom been a time when a man who was able to work and willing to work could not find employment of some sort. And the talk about people starving is, all bunk. An interesting incident marked the' preliminary proceedings when the j retiring police chief, James T. Crews, | was invited in and informed that his j resignation, filed last week, had been i accepted by council. Following a few { well chosen remarks on his long ser-; vice record and his unfailing fidelity I to duty, it was directed that the vet- 1 eran officer be given his badge as a, testimony of esteem and gratitude. 1 The presentation was made by Al- i derman James H. Moore and R. Mill- ' er Brown. Chief Crews has been giv en a retirement status, effective May I, by the S. C. Police Insurance and Annuity Fund commissioners. Four of the aldermen of fhe pre ceding administrati(m, Plato Roberts, J. V. Timmerman, R. M. Brown and J. H. Moofe, entered on neyz terms, while George Y. Ferguson and J. D. Williams are new council m^bers. Following the induction ceremonies council went into executive session for the purpose of electing police and! other city employees. j James L.

'That is one reason why there are so few un questionable facts available to any one who wants to find out the truth. Even the reports of the cemus are not one hundred per cent true, though they conae closer to being facts than any other statistics I know of. We will undoubtedly get a new set of figures about unemployment when' the census enumerators finish their jobs sometime this spring. But after the facts have been collected and tabu la ted, the resulting statistics may mean one thing to one set of experts and something else to another set. If the census includes as unem ployed all the people who never have worked, or who may have worked once but don’t want to work any more, it will present a much different picture tham if it counted only the men and whomen who have had the habit of working, are still physically' able to work and who can’t find jobs of any kind to work at.

There are some religious sects who take the Bible literally and regard it as sinfuf for the government to ask or the people to answer census ques tions. Five farmers who held that view were arrested in 1930, but after a night in jail they decided to put their scruples aside rather than pay a fine. * The ground for this religious ob jection to the census is found in the Bible, in the twenty-first chapter of the first book of Chronicles.
