EDITORS NOTE: The follow
ing clipping from an Oklahoma
City paper, sent us by the above
Worker Correspondent, tells the
bitter story of the failure of Ford's
Oklahoma City plant to open. In
this city of 10000 population
fully $4,000 are jobless.
Hundreds of unemployed men
swarmed around the doors of the
Ford Motor Co.'s state assembling
plant on West Main Street Monday
looking for work.
Officials had nothing to say on the
definite time when the plant will start
assembling autos.
1t had been announced the. plant
would open during the week of April
2, and the unemployed were taking
no chances of the doors opening
while they were away.
For several weeks new machinery
has been going into place Mechanics
are being trained.
Many of the job hunters were or
hand at daybreak, milling around,
sitting on the curbstones and always
looking wistfulIy at the doors.
1t had been reported that the plant
would require from 600 to 800 men to
open on regular basis, with close to
1,400 when production is in full
swing.

coming old can revltalize themselves
and at the same time spend an after
noon or evening of actual enjoyment.
This year the circus is bigger and
better than ever, if such thing is
possible. While Zip is among the
missing, almost all the old favorites
are in their places supplemented by
many new features that add to the
prestige of the entire production.
Many of the new members are
among the best that are to be seen.
The outstanding act on the program
is the tight-wire walking of the
troupe, a group of iron-nerved young
men and one girl from Germany.
Their wire is stretched to the very
rafters of the Garden, and there is no
net below for protection. These dare
devils performed feats of daring that
completely unnerved the audience.
There are many other acts of un-
usual merit including Lillian Leitzel,
a favorite of past seasons, also the
Tugony sisters who are in class by
themselves.
One of the most amazing feats ever
performed in the Garden is when
Gunga sticks his head in the mouth
of his elephant Yasso, and is carried
from the ring in that position.
The new acts also include the
Saharas troupe of desert riders whose
equation is as astounding as any
thing presented in any circus and
Mile. Leers, Partisan importation
who specializes in culture gymnas-
tics.
An amusing feature is burlesque
of the Jack Dempsey Tunney fight.
Parading under the names of Demp-
sar and Tooney they should us how
Gene took the long count in the ia
nous battle.
One must not forget Goliath, the
much advertised sea elephant. 1t is
said he eats 800 pounds of fish a
day, and after looking him over, it
seems that he might with the least
bit of appetite-sharpening exercise,
raise it to 400 pounds daily.
Of course, the clowns are present
in all their glory and whenever there
is slack moment, they trot out to
keep the tempo of the production at
the speed it is noted for.
The congress of freaks is still one
of the most popular attractions and
contains the midgets, the giants and
others that one expects to find.
The entire production is full of
thrills and surprises making visit
to the Garden well worth the time
and money spent.-S. A. P.

5000 NEAR RIOT
AS FORD PLANT
DOESN'T OPEN
Bitter Disappointment
for Starving Men
(By a Worker Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, by Mail) -
We nearly had an old-time riot here
or, West Main St. this morning. For
general days it has been rumored that
the Ford plant, which has been closed
for over a year, would open again,
giving employment to about 800 men.
The crowd that stood outside, includ-
ing myself, was estimated to be from
1000 to 5000 of the towns unem-
ployed.
They didn't open at all. 1t was all
bunk and as I write this, at about 4
p. M, there are fully 200 still out
in front of the employment door, all
wondering where they are going to
eat.
don't know who started this lying
talk, but l got up at 5 a. m. and
went down there. It was a great lot
of April fool bull and 1 am sending
you clipping from one of the three
dailies here which tells about it.
There are about $4,000 unemployed
in Oklahoma City.

THAT was one of the things wanted
to talk TO you about. The police are
getting a bit tired of Mr. Ahlborg.

arrangement about the dope. 1 saw

to begin his campaign right away

putting vigorously.

between his teeth. Then there's Won

they've any sense at all, they'll concen-
trate on the Villa Sabine in any case.
They may even make this fresh crime
an excuse to conf1scate everything they
find there"
Il see your point" said Taverner.
LAS far as I can see," pursued the
American, the Villa SabinoS got to be
destroyed before they get going. It's
got to be blown up, lock, stock and bar
rel Ahlborgs got to go, his instruments,
papers, everything. We've the

could be sure Of getting Miss Haye out

He snapped his fingers.
"Oh, l was almost forgetting! The

Taverner faced him squarely.
He does, does hea Any reason to

Marney shifted the half Toscano he
was smoking from one end of his mouth
to the other.

Marney spread out his hands.
"Why did they kidnap your niece?
She knew nothing of our affairs and

American, and followed him to the en-

The taxi drew to halt outside large

Taverner got out first.

The other shot out lean finger.

There is no machinery, not single
moving part to make noise, to vibrate,
to wear out in the Electrolux. Think
what this extreme simplicity means in
long life and freedom from trouble.
Compare, too, the astonishingly low
operating cost of this refrigerator.
So far as noise and vibration are
concerned, they just don't exist in the
Electrolux.
For instead of having moving parts,
of prod ucing cold mechanically, the
Electrolux merely utilizes a simple law
of physics.
A tiny gas flame and little water
do all the work. The flame acts on a
refrigerating liquid, setting up cycle
of expansion and contraction that pro-
duces continuous cold.
There is no machinery at all-no
motor, pump, compressor, pulleys, belt,
Aywheel or any of the usual mechanism.

Light the little gas flame once, and
the cold starts. The flame burns con.
tinuously without attention from you.
Should it ever be extinguished for any
reason, no harm is done. The freezing
action stops but the gas shuts off auto
matically. 1t cannot flow until you are
ready to light it again. Just how long
the Electrolux should last, scientists re-
fuse even to predict, because no one
has yet found any good reason why it
should ever wear out.
To-day this refrigerator is operating
in thousands of homes. 1t has been
adopted and is being sold by hundreds
of the country's leading public utilities,

THANKSGIVING CHEER
GIVEN FAMILY OF IL.
Mother Walks Miles to Mission to
Make First Requets for
Aid in Need.

One of the Central Union Missions
Thanksgiving baskets is bringing cheer
today to a Washington family in want
that Mrs. John S. Bennett, wife of the
superintendent, considers presents a
particularly poignant case.
Yesterday a thin-faced, middle aged
woman walked into the Office of the
mission at 613 C street, telling Mrs.
Bennett that she had walked from near
the Maryland line, where in their
modest and until recently self-suppoft-
ing home she had left her husband. a
laborer, six children and four grand
children. Out of work for weeks, Mrs.
Bennett was advised, the husband had
been tramping into the city daily for
want of car fare seeking employment,
until mass of blisters on his feet had
made further trips impossible The
family had had no food since the morn
ing of the day before and, though she
had never before asked any institution
for anything. the woman had read of
the Thanksgiving cheer that the mis-
sion offers.

oldest. 17-year-old boy, is a mental
defective. Then there are girls of Is

and grandchildren aged four, three and
two years and the youngest nine
months.
Five minutes later the woman left
carrying a Thanksgiving basket from
the stock of more than 200 covering
the floor Of the Missions assembly
room.
While Mrs. Bennett was wondering
how she was going to replace that
basket, she says, Right Rev. James E.
