ENJOYING PICNIC LUNCH AT N. Y. WORLD'S FAIR
NEW YORK (Special)—Picnickers are made to
feel at home at the New York World’s Fair. Pic-
tured here is a happy group enjoying box lunches
beneath brilliantly striped umbrellas which shade
the picnic areas at the Fair grounds. They find
luncheon al fresco a pleasant interlude of rest
amounts to something over $3.00
Federal government pays to the
eligible old age pensioners in
Arkansas something over $3.00
per month. However, in other
states, such as Colorado and Cali-
fornia and some of the richer
states, the Federal government in
some instances pays the full $15.-
00 maximum limit and in some
states pays an amount something
less than the maximum limit. This
situation has created a state of
inequality in the amount of Fed-
eral contributions because of in-
ability or unwillingness of some
states to make substantial pay-
ments or contributions to eligible
pensioners on the old age pention
rolls. An anomaly is presented of
the Federal government paying to
eligible pensioners on the old age
pension rolls a little over $3.00
i in Arkansas and to a person sim-
I ilarlv situated who may reside in
Colorado $15.00 out of the Feder-
al treasury.
I “To somewhat rectify this in-
equality, amendment which T
have offered provides that the
Federal government shall contrih-.
ute two-thirds of the payment to
| be made to eligible old age pen-
sioners on the state rolls t0 an
amount not exceeding $15.00 (in
other words, the Federal govern-
ment would pay $2.00 for each
dollar provided by the state, or
$10.00 in Federal contribution to
$5.00 state contribution, to a
maximum of $15.00 under such
during their tour of the hundreds of fascinating proportion). It further provides
exhibits. And they find that the best things at the j that from $15.00 up the state and
Fair are free. During the first month of the expo- j the Federal government shall
sition the average per capita expenditure within mateh pavments equallv as under
the fair was $1.17 and this included restaurant
meals for most of the visitors.
STATE WILL PAY
HIGHWAY BONDS
AUSTIN, July 19.— The board
of county and district road inde-
debtness has ordered full pay-
ment of the state’s share of prin-
cipal and interest on assumed
road bonds for 1940, Chief Ac-
countant W. H. Gordon announc-
ed today.
He said payment would be on
bonds issued not later than Jan.
1, 1939, in accardianee with a re-
cent act of the legislature making
eligibile for assumption obliga-
tions issued after Sept. 17, 1932,
provided the locally constructed
roads have become a part of the
state hightway system.
Requirements on the bonds is-
sued prior to Sept. 17, 1932, will
be $5,123,982 principal and $4,-
181,086 interest in 1940, Gordon
said. He added it -was impossible
to estimate charges arising from
the added assumption. He has ad-
dressed inquiries to county of-
ficials to determine the amount.
The estimate of refvenue, de-
rived from a one-cent portion of
the state gasoline tax, for pay-
ment of 1940 obligations is $10,-
500,000 and the board anticipates
a, surplus of $8,140,000 by Aug.
31, end of the current fiscal year,
making $18,640,000 available.
The board has not determined
when it can effect other phases
of the new assumption aet, in-
cluding reimbursing counties and
road districts for portions of as-
sumed debts which the state was
unable to pay in full during early
years of the assumption act’s
operation.

PLUMP WIVES
Damon Runyan agrees with ns
that plnmp women make better
wives than thin ones.
Mr. Runyon has pursued the stEfe-
jeet with vigor, questioning Sms-
bands, resturant men, grocers.,
confectioners, and physicians.
He says that plump girls eat
less and set a less expensive table.
At resturants the average cheek
)f a big woman is 35 cents, while
the average check of the than
! woman is $1.15.

00, the State and Federal govern-
ment to continue to share equally
above that amount, as at present.
If enacted into the Social Secur-
ity Act, this would have the effect
of providing $10.00 from Federal

government to match the first
for federally eligibile old agd
pensioners in Texas instead of
the equal basis of contribution
now in operation.
In explaining of this plan, Sen-
ator Connally said;
li Under the present law, the
Federal Government pays to each
State an amount equal to the
average paid by the State to old
age pensioners who are elibible
and are on the roll under the
State administration of old age
assistance or pensions. The maxi-
mum limit is $15.00 per month on
the part of the Federal govern-
ment, but there is no minimum
fixed by the law. The result has
been that in some states the Fed-
eral contribution has been out of
proportion to the same contribu-

Senate. I feel its adoption and
enactment into law will afford a
very substantial contribution to-
ward meeting the obligations
with respect to old age pension-
ers,” Senator Connally conclud-
ed.
