Authorized For Project.
HYDE PARK, N. Y., Sept. 23.-rfp
Jorb D. Blggers, administrator of the
unemployment census, announced
after a summer White House confer
ence today. President Roosevelt had
approved final plans for the volun
tary enumeration. He added he ex
pected the count to be completed
before December 1.
Blegers said the president had given
him "adequate authority" and ap
proved an expenditure up to $5,
000.000. "We intend to keep well within
that figure without slighting thor
oughness," he added.
He said the postoffice department
would handle the distribution, col
lection an preliminary check of reg
istration cards which would be sent
o 831,000,000 homes In the nation
carrying a brief message over the
president's signature.
Radio Talk Planned.
He added the president would make
a radio address at a date to be selected
explaining the Job and appealing to
all to cooperate to get a fatr result.
Blggers said the postoffice depart
ment was being used because It
would be the "simplest and easiest
way for the iwemployed."
They won't have to go to registra
tion centers and stand In long lines
waiting their turn. Second, the post
office department has a fine, trained
personnel, largely under civil service,
which should be able to do this dif
ficult Job better and at less cost than
any other organization, he said.
He said the registration would be
completed before December 1 because
the postal Christmas rush deadline
is around December (I and from De
cember 1 on there Is a heavy sea
sonal unemployment, especially In
agricultural centers.
"We want to get in ahead of that
to get a fair picture, not a seasonal
one." he said.
He added there would be no com
pulsion and in families where there
are no Jobless they would not have
to fill out the cards and drop them
In the mailbox.
Job Ts Big.
He said the Job was a big one and
administrators would have to con
tend with lota of handicaps, includ
ing illiteracy and foreign language
groups. It may be necessary to print
thousands of cards in other lan
guages and provide personnel to as
sist the Illiterate.
"In order to complete this regis
tration before winter, the technical
group composed of officials of the
commerce and labor departments, the
WPA. the social security board and
the central statistical board and the
census bureau have been working
night as well as days with me, and
have shown the finest spirit of co
operation." Blggers said he would build up an
organization to do the Job. but would
rely largely on this technical group
for help.

WASHINGTON. (UPI You can't
learn to croon In 10 days, live for
ever, or "pack a 16-ineh arm in your
sleeve." The benevolent federal trade
commission soys so.
The commission has been quietly
moving in to combat Improper adver
tising and the various forms of shell
games built on P. T. Barnum's as
sumption that "Thej-e's a sucker born
every minute." These ere some of
the results:
The commission has obtained an
agreement from a Florida dentist
to cease representing that artificial
teeth purchased from him by mall
order are better then any others or
are the only means to obtain "your
real individuality."
It received a promise from a Phil
adelphia firm to stop advertising its
muscle builder as "the greatest ex
erciser made; the choice of cham
pions and the emblem of power; it
quickly stimulates muscular growth
. . . by Its use one can pack a 16
lnch arm In his sleeve and duplicate
the chain-breaking or iron -bending
feats of Breitbart. Marx. Snndow.
Moerkl, Travis or Nordqulst."
WiMtom of Fast Out
And It got assurances from a, Los
Angeles concern that it would no
longer represent that Its founder
"was taught by masters of the lar
east In Tibet, and ts today an au
thoritative Interpreter of the ancient
wisdom" offering "a secret method
of the actual technique of rejuve
nation became old age la only a
chemical change which the concern Is
able to instruct Its students to over
come. The commission la charged with
guarding honesty in Its strictest
sense in all business practices. Un
der its regulatory powers It la thus
able to crack down on what it con
siders false or misleading advertising.

STYLE and QUALITY
Come FIRST at the
TOGGERY!
Months ago style authorities predicted that Fall 1937 would be th
most important style season in years, so The Toggery stepped ahead
and in our Fall suits have emphasized style and quality to a greater
degree than ever before.
FALL SUITS
at The Toggery are an outstanding collection of brilliant new models
and sizes to fit every type of mac and young man. Every suit a
notable expression of Society Brand's and Hyde Park's traditionally
fine tailoring. Strikingly new ideas in fabrics too many unique
pattern and color combinations that you'll find only in suits featured
at The Toggery.
SOCIETY BRAND and HYDE PARK
suits are America's most brilliantly styled quality clothes, and yet, they
have the practical appeal of being offered at the same prices you often are
asked to pay for clothes of unknown make, of mediocre style, and of doubtful
quality. See the new fall suits now being shown at The Toggery, still
southern Oregon's leading clothing store.
