TURNER THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MAY 10. 1940 SPECTATOR COMMENTS (Continued from page four) daughters lived at home, with some domestic duties, until the prince charming came along. Girls wore cotton stockings then and drank tea. Since the war, and the uprising of the Joneses, the daughters have re quired two or three pairs of silk hose a week and dresses and suits too numerous to mention. Along with this have come the movies, the habit of eating all over town and drinking soft drinks instead cf water, as well as breathing cigarette smoke. And I haven’t said anything about facial and hand make-up So today daughter is economically a golden spender. This compells the girls to go out to work, and the working girl, keeping up with the Jonses, spends as much on herself as many fathers once spent for all the family. How shall we determine the num ber of unemployed, then? By the to tal number at work now when we are doing less business than we did in 1929? Or shall we overlook the replacement of men by women and count only the former wage-earners who are now unable to get work ? In 1929, the peak of American pro duction and employment, the statisti cians tell us that there were 47,885,- 000 people gainfully employed in this country and that they produced wealth valued at $79,234,000,000. In 1937—the best year since the collapse —there were 46,295,000 people earn ing their way, and they produced a national income of $67,540,000,000. Reckoning that of every three earn ing a livelihood, one is a housekeeper and the other a child, it appears that in 1937 that took care of 138,885,000 people—more than our population. Yet in that same year we were re ported to have 10,000,000 unemployed! It makes you doubt the soundness of the estimates. From 1900-1930 there was an increase of 5,300,000 women employed. A considerable part of our so-call ed unemployment, then, is due to the replacement of men by women; and some of it due to counting as un employed those we would not have counted twenty-five years ago; and a large part of unemployment is the tyranny of statisticians and the ex uberance of social enumeratoros. But all the genial hangers-on, who made livery stables social centers, as well as their spiritual or un spiritual suc cessors, are they 'economically unem ployed, or just politically unemployed, for the purpose of asking thrifty and industrious citizens to support them? I venture the statement that we are groaning under the weight of sta tistics and suffering from over-zeal ous humanitarians who remind us of nervous young mothers who are for ever sticking a clinical thermometer in a child’s mouth to persuade him that he has “a temperature” and must go 'to bed. Billroy’s Show Here What should the 1940 stream-lined dancing girl possess? The answer is given by exotic Luana, pictured above.
