down the street. He had been
turned down again. For two hours
he had waited with several hundred
others outside the factory gates.
Then a straw-boss had come out,
picked about 20 of the meekest-
looking fellows in the crowd--and
that was all. Funny the way these
straw-bosses invariably spot the
most willing slaves.
Bill began to pound the streets
as he had done yesterday, the day
before, for SO many days that it
seemed an eternity. A job, a job
that was all his mind could think
of. He went to the river front,
but he didn't look husky enough
for that kind of work. Outside a
cheap restaurant he saw sign:
"Dishwasher Wanted" He went in
and asked for the job. A fat,
greasy man told him that it had
been filled the day before. They
had forgotten to take out the sign
All day he walked the streets.
He had a horror of going home to
his room while it was still light
To be alone for so many hours
Here in the streets there were at
least people, faces, many of them
like his own with haggard eyes
hunting the job.

cafeteria, got a cup of coffee
and walked home. His tiny room
was cold and barren. All night

hungry rats scurried over the floor
hunting the job, too. Bill found
his Daily Worker under the door
left there by the mailman. That
at least could be depended on, a
friend that would never desert him.
Every night when he came home
after a day of fruitless hunting
for work, it was good to sit down
and read his Daily Worker and
learn what was happening in the
labor movement of the world and
feel himself part of those toiling
millions that in every country in
the world were struggling to over
throw this world where human be-
ings were starved and prosecuted
and to build in it's plac, world
where jobs would be plentiful for
everybody and where those who did
the work would rule and control.
Days passed and still Bill could
find no job. One day he came
home and found no Daily Worker
waiting for him. The next day
and the next passed and still no
Daily Worker. After few days
he inquired at a stand where he
knew the paper was sold and was
told that it had gone out of exe
istence. He refused to believe it
and began frantically inquiring at
other stands. Everywhere he was
told the same story. He decided
to write letter to the Daily
Worker at once and learn the truth.

Hoover had no sympathy with the
attitude taken by senators who
wanted to fight for one bill to the
injury of the other.

BERLIN, Jan. 2.-German busi-
ness men are plunged into gloom by
the report of S. Parker Gilbert
chief of the reparations collecting
here. German workers realize that
the employers are bleeding them
terribly now, but feel that under the
lash of further demands by the AL
lies, another attempt will be made
to reduce the standard of living, and
increase exploitation.
Gilbert states that German indus
try is increasingly profitable, that
the government budget could easily
be reduced, that taxes are low and
could easily be raised again.
The Nationalist "Lokal Anzeiger'
gives two pages of refutation, under
the headline, Preparation Agents
Dangerous Optimism"
The "Tageblatt" says that the
reparations paid so far were bor-
rowed money.
Other capitalist papers follow
suit. The socialist press is in favor
of the Dawes plan, the Communists
is energetically against it.

Winter Training Course Is
Planned to Promote Ply
steal Education.

Training classes for volunteer
workers in recreation activities will
be conducted by the city recreation
department this winter, according to
plans now being prepared by Jesse P.
Mcclure, director.
These classes, which are to be a
new feature in recreation work, will
be open to everyone interested in
learning to direct such activities.
The classes are to be given for bene-
fit of leaders and older boys and
girls connected with city churches.
Mcclure is asking support from
city pastors in the movement, and
made the following statement in
that connection: eve desire the
cooperation of every pastor, who
feels the need of trained leaders in
physical education. In order that we
may get in touch with young men
and women who might attend our
classes for volunteer workers, we are
asking pastors to send us names OF
persons, belonging to their churches,
who might spend one night each
week during the winter season in
such training"
Training classes will meet for a
three-hour period one evening each
week. Butler university students who
attend the classes will be given one
hour credit in physical education.
Glasses probably will be conducted
at the Brookside community house
under direction of Bruce Hunter and
Miss Lola Pfeifer, supervisor of city
recreation.
The plans also include a program
of recreation in connection with city
churches during the winter months.

CITY SCHOOLS
TO USE VISUAL
TEACHING AGAIN
Method Seen Particularly
Adapted to History and
Geography.

Teaching geography and history
by the Installation method is be-
coming an important factor in the
indianapolis public schools and will
be used again this fall, R. H. Rae,
visual education director in city
schools, declared. today.
For three years Rae has been col
lecting slides of maps and phases
of life in European countries, to
be used in teaching geography.
Especially selected classroom mo-
ton picture machines are used to
present views to the students.
The Installation program is based
on the principle that the child learns
more by observation than reading.
However, texts are used along with
slides. 1t is possible for a teacher
who knows very little about the
countries she is teaching about, to
present very satisfactory and help
full lessons to children by means of
the Installation process, Rae says.
Rae is completing series of il
Illustrated stories to be used in pub
lie schools this year. Films on music
and art also are being tried out.
