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. Luana, vivid La tin-Ameri
can personality, now touring this
country for the first time, declares
that the perfect dancing girl is tall,
slender, beautiful, possessor of indi
viduality, personality and intellect.
Luana, creator of the colorful “Danse
Savage,” has been widely recognized
as possessing the ideal attributes for
a dancing career. She believes that
the American stagr offers girls with
determination and ambition, unlimited
possbiliities. Luana, a standout at
traction, is now featured with Bill-
roy’s Comedians, which with a com
pany of eighty people, including many
lovely girls, and fifteen featured
vaudeville acts, is coming to Newber
ry on Saturday, night. May 11th, for
one performance only in its hugh
tented theater located at the comer
of Main and McKibben streets.
“Bilroy’s Cemedians,” the greatest
of all touring theatric-.l ventures, is
presenting a two hour production at
their well-remembered popular prices,
with ladies free, when accompanied
by one paid adult admission. The
doors of the big tent swing open at
7:15 P. M., with overture by The
Rhythm iSwing-O-Pators, Ambassa-
dors of Swing at 7:30, and the per
formance starts at 8:15 sharp.

son, Bobby, and Mrs. Fred Brown of

DOUBLE RANGE
ANTI-KNOCK
n the New Sinclair H-C
Now at Sinclair dealers you can
get a new Sinclair H-C which has
Double-Range Anti-Knock!
Every motorist knows that there
are two important ranges of acceler
ation where you need knockless
power. The first range is from 10
to 45 miles per hour for ordinary
pick-up in traffic. The second range
is from 45 to 90 miles per hour
where you need extra high anti
knock for sudden spurts of speed to
pass other cars on the highway.
Some gasolines may give high
anti-knock in one range but not in
the other. Now Sinclair has devel
oped a gasoline that gives you high
anti-knock not just in one range,
but in two.
With this new Double-Range
anti-knock you also get quick start
ing-rapid pick-up—smooth power
—and longer mileage. The new H-C
is truly an all-around gasoline, the
result of many years of continuous
improvement in refining.
See your nearby Sinclair dealer.
Try out the new Double-Range H-C
today. A complete tankful will give
you a personal demonstration in
your own car.
