(By Mail to United Press.)
Rio de Janeiro.-The visit of the
United States steamship Nevada to
Flo will go down in the annals OF
the American colony as the gayest
and most successful two months
party ever held on the shores of
Guanabra bay.
The big warship arrived on Sept.
5 and departed Nov. 16. The time
in Rio was one continuous party
with the gobs and marine detach-
ment occupying the center of the
stage all the time.
And the navy showed its apprecia-
ton by coming through handsomely
every time 1t had a chance.
Nevada day at the International
exposition, arranged by the commits
sioner-genera of the United States,
drew the hirsest crowd Of paid ad-
missions of an o-.e de, since the
show opened.
incidentally it provided Brazil an
opportunity to see real North Ameri-
can footabll, played on field built
by American engineers, who are tear
ing down the MORO do CASTILLO.
Nevada boxers also caused the
manly art to increase tremendously
in popularity in Brazil-where all the
local sports have been talking box
ing since the Carpenter Dempsey
battle.
And finally, after raising several
thousand milreis for the Rio graded
school,, which is operated by the
Anglo-American colony, through a
vaudeville show in one of the sub
urban theaters, the gobs and ma
rines topped things off by giving
the school $1,000 right out Of their
pockets.

UNEMPL 0YMENT
CONFERENCE HELD
AT c. OF C. ROOMS

Representatives of the various
Augusta organizations interested in
the relief of unemployment met in
conference at the Augusta Chamber
Of Commerce rooms Wednesday to
determine ways and means Of meet
ing the unemployment situation as it
exists in Augusta and to eliminate
overlapping Of their work. The fol-
lowing questions were asked by Sec
rotary G. G. Clarke. VINO called the
conference and presided over it:
!. What is your organization pre-
pared to do towards assisting people
10 find employment?
.. What can each of tho other
agencies represented here do to as
s:st you in this work?
g. What can be done IN Augusta to
relieve general unemployment, in
other words. what can VIC do as Il
community towards supplying emer-
gcncy Jobs for the unemployed
4. What is your policy in giving
out such jobs as You may have, that
is, what is your order of preference?
>. DO YOU consider any part of this
work your exclusive field?
6. How can we avoid overlapping
:. How much money or time have
YOU to devote to this part Of your
community program"
s. How DO You handle the fellow
who docs not really want work but
wants an out-and out gift Of money,
etc?
9. What is your policy regarding
Cut-of- town people seeking employ
ment in Augusta?
10. Eo you ever give temporary
money relief?
Each of these questions was taken
up in turn as far as possible. The
American Red Cross, represented by
Miss jean Todd, is concerned cxclu-
sivcly with the eX-scrvice man and
it is their custom to refer position
seekers to the Augusta Chamber Of
Commerce unless they happen to
know of something that is available.
The Poor department of the city of
Augusta. which was represented by
Mrs. CARTRIDGE, formerly made it a

practice to handle unemployment as
an active part of its work. With the
establishment of the Free Employ
ment bureau by the Chamber of
Commerce many of the cases have
been referred to this agency with
very satisfactory results, although a
good many cases are handled direct
ly with the cooperation Of the en-
ploying heads of various industrial
concerns. The Salvation Army, rep
resented by Commandant Magee,
takes care of the man who is in need
of relief it being their policy to see
that no man goes hungry, if actually
in need, and they have found the
percentage of men who have treated
them honestly as very high. Men
seem to realize that the Salvation
Army has no funds to waste and are
soon as possible. AS far as possible
it is the policy to furnish employ
ment of some sort so as not to pau
perize the person seeking relief.
1t developed that the demand for
women helpers in the field Of domes-
tic labor is very constant in Au-
gusta and any good worker can be
placed within a reasonable time. 1t
is hard to find jobs for the men and
only one out of four can be placed
at the present time.
Commandant Magee suggested that
the Chamber of Commerce members
get behind a movement to build a
dozen or so small houses this spring
1t was also suggested by Mr.. Clarke
that road building might be pushed
this summer with benefit both to the
roads and to the men. A bill is
pending before Congress providing
for the construction OF public build
ings, roads, bridges, etc. in times Of
unemployment with only the abso-
lutely necessary work being done on
this type of construction during
normal times. Thus the public work
would not compete with the indus
trial work of normal times but would
supplement it in times of Depression
Miss Doris Ham. director of the
Employment bureau Of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce then made a
summary of her work. This DEPART
al
many men and women IN positions,
but the employers have not regis
tered their needs as promptly as they
should. People from Gardiner, Hal
lowell and Winthrop as well as other
outlying towns have made free use
of the agency. which charges moth
ing for its services. Ii las cost the
organization about sl50 for each
person registered and about IS for
each person placed in a position.
Secretary Clarke then asked for Il
frank expression Of opinion as to its
value and whether lie Should recon-
mend it's continuance for another
year to the business mon of Angus
ia. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that the work should be continued
and that the community would he
saved considerable more than its
cost in giving men employment.
