Unemployment Problem In City OF
Detroit Worries Labor Department

100000. This does not take into con-
sideration the large number of en-
ployeeS of factories and business
establishments who work only three
or four days per week and whose
earnings in this short space OF
time are insufficient for their
needs.
Detroit has been the mecca for
unemployment for the last three
years, due largely to lure of auto
mobile factories. From states with
in a radius of 300 miles and from
every province in Eastern Canada
thousands trek here spurred on by
the belief that in this, the motor
city, there are jobs galore.

Detroit at the present moment is
not encouraging" Adams said. 81

tant states to come here seeking
employment. I am very hopeful
that this situation will improve
greatly before the first Of the year
but suffering and panic faces this
enormous army of unemployed dur

decided improvement is noted"
The open highway during the
summer months brought a vast
number of tourists here, bearing
baggage and children. The situation

Potato Hill Sage
Writing For
This Paper

The late DR.. Frank Crane once
designated Edgar Watson Howe
"The Sage of Potato Hill This
was tribute to the wisdom and
commonsense of Ed Howe, whose
column, Here's Howe" starts in the
Nogales International today.
Born at Treaty, Ind, in 1854, Ed
Howe has been in and around
printing offices since the age of IL,
and has always lived in small
towns. At IL he was already an ac-
complished typesetter, and after
several newspaper jobs and ventur-
es he became in 1877 editor and pro-
prietor of the Atchison, Kan, Globe,
which he made the most famous
weekly newspaper in the United
States by filling its pages with his
clever observations on life. He re-
tired over thirty years later, after
becoming world-famous and writ
ing several important books, among
them THE Story of Country
Town."
Ed Howe has the most thorough
insight into small town American
life of any present-day writer. His
work has deep human appeal, and
is presented in a simple, homely
style-his articles have all the quail
tiles of good conversation between
plain people. plain People," by
the way, is what he named his au-
photography
It was Ed Howe who said cit is
better to be safe than sorry. In
fact many of his epigrams have be-
come part of our national inheri-
tance.
He is the leading exponent of
country journalism-though he has
had many offers, he has never con-
sented to work in city newspaper
office. His life has been devoted
to Atchison, Kan. BY making the
little town of Atchison, Kan, his
chief interest, he has somehow
found his way into the heart of the
entire world and is known wher-
ever English is read or spoken.

At "a He Takes Plane To
Family Reunion

New Philadelphia, O., Sept. 19
Omitted Press) David w. Kennedy
"a, retired farmer, believes that
one never gets too old to enjoy
life. He chartered a plane to take
him from st. Louis to Cleveland re-
Gently to attend a family reunion
near here. His home is in Duquoin
Ill.
Kennedy, who further attests his
youthful outlook on life by wearing
a wrist watch, intends to make the
entire trip from Duquoin here in
1880.
He regretted his inability to fly
from Cleveland to the reunion, and
in explanation said: "Had it not
been for my lumbago I would have
hunted a plane at Cleveland to
deliver me here"
The aged farmer made his first
air trip ten years ago, when he
spent his last SIS for a short trip
along the Gulf of Mexico In a
hydroplane. "It was all the money
I had then, but it was worth it,,

death occurred while he was prac-
ticing for a rodeo at FL Paso. In
trying to rope the steer the horse
got tangled up in the rope, threw
Adams off and fell on his head.

$500 AIRSHIPS
BUILT In U.S..
in SIX MONTHS

Cleveland, Sept. 10 Omitted Press
Thirty hundred commercial
and military airplanes, valued at
$25 100000 were produced in the
United States during the first six
months of this year, the Aeronaut-
ical Chamber of Commerce of AM
erica reported at it's meeting here
recently.
Announcement of plane produc-
tion work has been closely guarded
heretofore. These were the first of :
ficial figures to be made public this
year.
The open cockpit type of plane
led the field for the largest num-
ber of a single type produced Cab
in monoplanes ranked second with
884, indicating a considerable ad-
vance in production over previous
years.
Because of the rapid develop
ment of major passenger airline op-
erations, multi-motored transport
planes showed a remarkable in
crease over last year with a total
of 115, compared with SO in 1928.
Military plane production showed
marked decrease, less than SO per-
cent of last years total being man
ufactured. There was however a
marked increase in the two-place
open cockpit planes for sport and
training purposes.
In line with av1ation's drive for
increased safety in air transporta-
ton, was the announcement that
the American Public now has 232
approved airplane types from which
to choose its private or commercial
craft.
