WILL LEAD JOBLESS
ARMY TOCONCRESS
Urban Ledoux to Ask Aid for
Plan to House Unem-
pIoyed Here.

Satisfied that his plan for housing
the jobless in Washington. which
was presented to members of the
Presidents unemployment confer
ence yesterday, is in the proper hands
and will be handled in vigorous
the unemployed. who has been in
Washington for the past four days,
faces a busy week.
He expects a contingent Of about
fifty unemployed men in Washington
today from New York, and with this
"arny" and many recruits he expects
to gather in Washington during today
and tonight he will appear before
Congress tomorrow seeking the help
of the legislative body in assisting
the unemployed.
Lodging House Needs 100000.
Ledoux does not believe the Munich
pal lodging house in Washington will
greatly help the housing situation for
unemployed men here. An appropria-
ton of not less than 100000 is need
ed, he believes, to make necessary
repairs at the lodging house. He
holds to the plan he presented to
ference yesterday. that the govern
ment should donate an unused build
ing, to be maintained by the unem-
ployed men in this city as a club and
lodging house for them.
Mere donation Of the structure is
sufficient, Ledoux claims, as he main
tains such an institution would be
had enlisted the aid of the municipal
authorities in New York and Boston
to the extent that structure had
been made available for the unem-
ployed. and in both cities, he said
last night, the home for the unem-
ployyed is paying its own expenses.
Calls Conditions Here Bad.
II have started the ball rolling in
your city," Ledoux said last night.
Now it is up to your city govern
ment and the federal government to
clusion-a real home for the unem-
ployed In your city. Conditions here
are very bad and can be bettered
Therefore there should be no hesita.
ton about instituting such q step.
Ledoux hopes the o. F. U. Club. or
ganized Friday at the Shepherd
House, will be able to relieve the un-
employment situation here and help
materially in bringing a home for
the unemployed to the capital. Plans
Of the leader of the unemployed have
not been outlined beyond tomorrow
he said, adding that he expects to be
here for three days more at least.
Seek to Lodge Ex-Sefvfce Men.
Use of one of the temporary war
buildings as a lodging place for ex-
service men who come to Washing
ton to seek action on war risk
claims will be suggested to the un-
employment conference now in ses-
sion here.
The plan will be placed before the
conference by group Of unemployed
who met in the Shephred House, 10th
and e streets, last night, with Ur-
ban Ledoux.
1t was the sense of the gathering
that the government should make
one of the temporary structures
available. with beds and food sup.
plies for the former service men
who come here to present claims for
compensation. There were approxi-
mately ITS present at the meeting.

K1wAN1s MAY AID JoBLEss.
n. M. Karr Suggests Each Member
Employ One Man Extra.
' the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK. Va, October HAIRY
NJ. Karr of Baltimore. president OF
Kiwanis International, is anxious to
have the organization, of which he Is
head, concern itself actively in re-
lieving unemployment this winter and
is the author of the unique sugges-
ton that every one of the 10000
Kiwanians IN the United States en-
ploy one extra man in his business
during the winter months.
Speaking before the Capital district
convention here today, Mr.. karr
urged that every KiwAnian in the dis
trict adopt such policy and take one
extra man into, his business estab-
lishment. He said he is urging the
same course on Kfwanians in all
parts of the country.
II think we will all agree that the
tide of business has turned" said Mr..
Karr, land that gradual Improvement
has set in. But, nevertheless, it seems
probable that the coming winter will
be worse from the standpoint of the
laboring man than any OF US have
seen in years.
I'VE are all practical business men
and we must learn to solve our own
problems. All that the government
conference on unemployment could do
was to refer the matter back to the
various cities with the recommends
ton that they undertake more extern
sive construction work in order to
provide employment for idle men,"

other officers chosen to serve during the
ensuing year were Julien Y. Williams
OF the Alexandria Kiwanis Club, first
lieutenant governor. and David Pender
of the Norfolk Kiwanis Club, second
lieutenant governor.
Acclaimed by 500 Delegates.
A delegation composed of sixty-five
members Of the local Kiwanis Club,
headed by President Claude H. Wood
town Kiwanis Club and six Alexandria
Kwanians left Thursday night for Nor
folk with the firm intention Of electing
MIR. Boobar, who has served as first lieu
tenant governor Of the Capital District
for the past year. but from word re-
ceived last night there was little or no
opposition, and after several ballots the
popular local ciubman was epthusasti-
caIly acclaimed choice OF the sc6A vention.
More than 500 delegates attended.
Mr.. Boobar has been prominently
identified with the business life of
Washington for the past twenty
years. Born in Minnesota, he came
tary to Representative Page Morris
of Michigan and served in that ca
pacity until 1871. when he was ap..
pointed director Of the Terminal
Taxicab Company, with which he has
remained. He prides himself on be-
to the Minnesota state legislature
from his home district and on being
the originator of the first bicycle band
ever organized in the United States.
One Of the Founders.
He was one of the founders of the
Washington Kiwanis Club and served
as it's president for two successive
terms. He is prominent in fraternal
circles, being a member OF the
knights of Pythias and thirty.sec..
ond-degree Mason. He is affiliated
with the Temple-Noyes Lodge, No.
32, F. A. A. M. He is also an active
orker in the Cathedral Heights
and lives at 1921 Wisconsin avenue.
Several of the Washington dele
gates returned to the city last night
and. according to them the convention
was the most successful ever held
by the clubs of the Capital District
Kiwanis. Every possible means of
entertainment was arranged for the
out-of-town guests by the Norfolk
kiwanians, and from the time OF
their arrival Friday morning until
last night the city dispensed hospi-
tality in the true southern style.

Hitting the Nail or the Head

the Puitan Sunday shows that the
issue is not altogether dead. The
Petrines are still with us and the
Paulines are ready to take issue with
them.
The historic precedents for the best
use of Sunday are too conflicting to
be of great service at the present
time. Luther and Calvin, for exam
pie, leaned toward the Pauline atti-
tude and believed in making Sunday
observance somewhat light and joy
full, while the Puritans followed the
Petrine view and made for themselves
blue Sunday.
The modern approach to the prob
lem should hardly be made from the
question of how venerable, but how
reasonable can be the use of the day.
For the modern temper is inclined to
test every institution not by its tradi
tional authoritative standard, but by
its present utility and its most bene-
ficent use.
Judged by such a test Sunday
surely should be a day of rest for
mind and body from ordinary tasks.
Experience demonstrates the human
need of such regular periods of rest
and change. One of the best uses
of the day must then be to ''knit
up the raveled sleeve of care" to
gather up physical and intellectual
energies for another week of toll.
Sunday should send one back to
work refreshed and strengthened. II
it does not do this, there is poor
economy some where in its use.
But such rest does not necessar-
lily mean idleness or lazing thru the
day. 1t should not be spoiled by
remnants of odd jobs left over from
the weeks unfinished work. Will

WHAT KIND OF SUNDAY?

(From the Minneapolis Journal.)
One of the interesting things in
srly christian history is the clash
etween the Petrine party, vowing
llegiance to the Apostle Peter, and
the Pauline party, representing the
views of the Apostle Paul. The New
Testament is alive with tokens of
the battle that ragged between these
two parties. The Petrines believed
in keeping to the letter, the new
moons, facts and the old Jewish Sab
bath.
The Pauline party, consisting for
the most part of the Gentle con-
verts, were the loose construction

THE WORK OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE

(From the Montana Record Herald)
While we .sympathize with those
patriotic and loyal members of the
republican party in this legislature
who have fretted and worried be-
cause they have been delayed and
hampered in enacting the splendid
laws suggested by Governor Dixon
as imperative for the good Of the
people of the state, knowing that
legislatures are inherently slow and
clumsy in performance, we have be-
lieved all along that this republican
legislature would be true to its par
ty pledges, and would before the
end of the session loya iy carry out
Governor TiZon's prcgram. And al
though tie program is much behind
and the time is very short, we still
have faith and hope.
Not all the papers or people Of
the state are taking such conf
dent view of the legislature, how,
ever. The Great Falls Call is de,
claring openly that forces of pow
er and influence are. working in thu
legislature to defeat Governor Dix

STILL WESTWARD

(From the New York Tribune)
The center of population in the
United States moved westward with
regularity throughout the century
from 1900 to 1900 Beginning a few
miles west of Baltimore in 1900, it
advanced an average of forty-sev-
en- miles westward along the 39th
parallel of latitude every ten years.
The shift never ranged more than
ten miles above or below this aver
age except in one decade, that end
ing in 1860, when the gold fever,
plus the Kansas crusade, moved the
center eighty miles at one point, out
of West Virginia and into Ohio.
AS late as 1890 there was a shift
of forty-eight miles. But in the
next decade came the first great
slump, indicating that the great
westward trend was losing it's vigor.
For the ten years ending in 1900
the move was only fourteen miles,
past the town of Columbus, Ind. In
the next decade there was a re-
sumption of the old tide, the shift
reaching thirty-nine miles. But 1920
reverts to the 1900 story. The shift
falls to a new low level of nine and
eight-tenths miles. The westward
swing persists, but at a pace which
suggests that the main force of the
tide is spent.
This partial subsistence Of the
great pioneer stream that has pro-
foundry affected the character of the
whole nation comes at a point wher
the center of population Is still fal
east of the geographical center. The
latter is located in northern Kansas
and is almost $50 miles west of
the Indiana town where the popula
ton center now rests. 1t is hardl!
possible that even after centuries cal
these two points be much closer, TO
. the vast area of the mountain
states can never sustain a popula
. ton comparable with that possibl
throughout the eastern states.
