miners-have been unemployed.

PenciIed Plea to Davis
For the coal-heaps won't go back
on them as Santa'S done-and-and
you can always hide your heart
in them-for they came from Gods
heart.
Out of a penciled letter to James
]. Davis, secretary of labor, by a
Bicknell mother of four, came the
announcement of the conditions in
that city. Conditions that showed
2,500 men and women Of the NOR
row would be put to bed Christmas
night with the warning, "Theren be
no Santa Claus"
The letter written on cheap note
paper pleaded with Secretary Davis
one day of happiness-just one
day-for the $500. She had read
the Life of James J. Davis and she
believed he was good
man"-and would send Christmas
back again to Bicknell.
Potato Feelings Soup
But in Bicknell they haven't her
sublime faith in the things that
books say men can accomplish.
Months of using potato peelings,
bacon rinds and table scraps to exc
out an insipid soup doesn't make
ingredients for faith in humanity.
Even the houses know their CHM

From time TO time the marathon
dancers stopped 10 change shoes and
to drink water and coffee Aside
from these liquids their only re-

they nibbed while they danced to-

About lis early riscrs were in

the spectators did no cheering.
l.erner was gorgeously attired in
red and tan-stripped beach blazer
and wore a red jockey cap with
black visor. Unlike his rivals, he APP
peared strong.
Weisman. who had pulled away
from Sleeper. arrived in the square
at 1:34. He was in his shirt sleeves,
dancing with Miss Flora Font.

field of three was Lerner. who was
accompanied by automobiles, con-
tanning a dozen blondes and brun-
cites for use as relay partners. to-
gether with his press agent and
trainer.
Reports that Lerner might be dis
qualified because his dancing too
closely resembed walking, spread
among followers of the race as the
marathon progressed. 1t was pointed
out that Weisman and Sleeper were
doing fancy steps according to Hoyle
and that in doing so they were fall
ing far behind
In view of the fact that there we're
no official judges. however, Lerner
seemed likely to receive nothing
more serious than an adverse news

arrive in Wa'pole until SOS. nearly

shirt was off, his shoes badly worn.
his face was dirty. and he was just

tatigued from the long grind.
