BOSTON JOBLESS

To Rally Fight for So

BOSTON, Dec. ia call has been
sent out to working class organiza-
tons by the Boston Campaign Com
mittee for Unemployed Insurance for
greater Boston Unemployed Con-
ference on Dec. IA at IL a. m. at %
Harrison Ave, Boston. The call
states, in part:
Unemployment Insurance is a
burning necessity of the workers OF
Massachusetts, as well as all over
the United States. There are at
present nearly 100000 unemployed
workers in the United States. Bos-
ton and vicinity has over 10000 I'M
employed workers and more than
that number working part time. In
dustries are slowing down produc-
ton, which means putting out eddi-
tional thousands of workers to the
unemployed army. Wage-cuts OF
those still employed are daily &C.
currence, and the murderous speed
up intensified. With severe winter
here and no prospective work, sui,
cides, insanity, collapses and death
| through starvation become a daily
phenomenon.
cit is now clear to all workers thai
the promises of Wall Street puppet
Mr.. Hoover, that he will relieve the
unemployment situation, is nothing
but a fake. All so-called unemploy'
ment committees, beginning witt
Governor Aliens Committee, dowr
to the Central Labor Union unem'
ployment committee, are nothing
more than to further fool the work
ers. They are opposed to real un'
employment relief for the millions o.

vided only through Social Insurance

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-With the cold

Down on Wacker Drive, where more
than 1000 unemployed workers stay,

The capitalist press comes out
every day with appeals to the public
to supply these unemployed workers

they received large amout of cloth

receive any clothing from this supply

Class on the Negro
Problem Opens Chi.

CHICAGO, Dec 12.-Section 2 of
the Communist Party has organized
weekly class which will deal with
problems of general Communist the
CRY and especially with the social and
economic problems surrounding the
position OF Negro workers in the
United States. The discussion will
deal primarily with the various forms
of discrimination and terrorization
practiced against workers in general,
notably in the lynching of workers
of all races.
In view of the necessity for in
creased clarity on these matters, the
section urges all workers, Party men,
bers or Party. to attend these
classes, which will be held on Friday
evenings at 1886 S. State Street, at
the Workers Center. The instructor
will be Comrade Lydia Bennett. Part

SMASH IMPERIAL
FRISCO PROTEST
To Continue Fight to
Free Organizers

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Dec. IL
The police attacked big demonstra-
ton of workers here who we're pro-
testing the imprisonment of eight
militant California workers who are
serving sentences of up to 40 years
for organizing agricultural workers
in the Imperial (death) Valley. The
police arrested three of the leaders,
including Ida Rothstein, district Or
ganizer of the International Labor
Defense.
After the police had arrested the
three workers, a large crowd, esti-
mated in the many hundreds, fol-
lowed the police for many blocks and
cheered the arrested trio.
The demonstration was combined
for the Imperial Valley prisoners and
in commemoration of the 1900 Co
lombian workers who were murdered
by the police of that South Ameri-
can country two years ago in the
banana strike. The large planta-
tons down there are owned by the
United Fruit Co., a Yankee mon
opoly.
The meeting here broken up by the
police is part of the Imperial VAL
ley week campaign carried on by the
International Labor Defense.
A house to house distribution of
literature and the getting of men,
bers for the defense organization has
been going on since Sunday and is
on a nationwide scale. Most cities
throughout the United States as well
as South American cities have par
ticipated in mass demonstrations

MODERN FINISHES
OFFER VARIETY
FOR FLOORING

Floors arc really the foundation
of room decoration. enhancing the
beauty of furniture and hangings
Harmonious color treatment of the
room as whole is now made possl-
bic with the new modern finishes,
in hardwood flooring, which may
be selected to suit individual
taste. Imagine the dignity of a
library paneled in oak, with oak
flooring in a "weathered" finish,
the harmony of dinning room III
tones of gray and blue, with dark
er gray oak flooring, or the charm
of an enclosed porch with the floor
finished in forest green, light and
cheery,-a bit of outdoors brought
into the home. The opportunity
for choice is infinite, and each
room may reflect your own individ-
uality, your floors becoming your
very own, different from those
about you.
Still further variety is possible
in selection of various widths and
grades of white and red oak, plain
or quarter sawn. White and red
oak are both American varieties,
tough, strong, and hard in fibre
susceptible to high polish. The
choice of either for flooring is
matter of taste; white provides
bright luminous floor, while red

HOUSE ENTRANCE
SHOULD EXPRESS
ITS PERSONALITY

Designing a small house is a
tricky thing. Not everybody can
do it, not even "A great architect.
A great architect of national repu-
tation, who was asked recently to
design a house, said he wuld rather
design state capitol.
But architects who have given cX-
pert study TO the designing of small
houses have come pretty much to
the general conclusion that 1t is the
little things that count,-the shape
and size of the windows, the eX-
act location of the cornice, and
even the kind of mouldings used IN
it. The detail that stands out
most prominent is the entrance.

But, for the average small house,
where funds are limited. the en-
trance way has to carry the major
architectural interest.
II YOU recall houses you have

that the entrance way, the door,

Suggesting the Early
Homes OF Nezu .
Netherlands

THIS home, No. 4-A-15, is de-
l. signed with two principal OBJ
jects in view. First, economy of
floor space, second, low cost of con-
struction. That is, to give lot of
house for the money spent. 1t has
another value in that it can grow.
The attic space has plenty of room
for an additional bedroom that can
be added when desired In the
meantime, for a small family the
well, and if additional bed space is
desired, one of the modern closet
beds can be arranged to open into
the living room.
This, then, is perfectly modern,
up-to-date house, especially de-
signed for modern conditions of liv-
ing. Even though the house is
small, the combination of living
room and dining room across the
front, which is nearly 80 feet in
length, gives unusual area. The wall
between living room and dining
room can be made little or much
of, as desired. A beam spanning
the opening would, of course, give
the best effect OF large space.
Housekeepers will probably be
most pleased with the kitchen. Here
also the smaller size of the house
has not limited the designer in
making the kitchen completely up
to-date and efficient as to working
space. There is a big cupboard,
sink under window, the range
conveniently at the side, an outside
icing door for the refrigerator, a
work table also under a window.
An ironing board and a broom
closet are arranged on an inner
wall.
Construction: Wood frame, ex-
terror finish of wide siding. Roof
Of shingles.
Facing: Designed to face north
or west, but may be reversed for
other facings.
Lot size: Approximately 40 feet.

In no other country in the world
is insurance, in all its forms, dcvcl-
oped upon SO large scale from the
standpoint both of absolute magEi-
tude and of proportion to the pop
ulation, wealth and other funda-
mentals of the national life. as in
the United States. and in no other
country is the place occupied by in
surancc in the national economy as
whole, SO large or so vitallv i'm
portant. The part played by in
Surancc in the economic life of the
country is now so enormous that
no adequate conception of that
economic life can possibly be ar
rived at without taking into ac-
count both the underwriting and
the financial operations of the
great body of insurance institutions
which provide all the different
kinds of insurance protection upon
which the welfare of society SO
largely depends.

The grain of plain sawn oak dis
plays itself in great variety, and
over an expanse of surface is an
object of real beauty, painted by
nature. Greater richness of figure
is obtained by quarter-sawing.
What are known as medullary rays
radiate from the heart of an oak
log, crossing the annual rings of
growth. When the log is cut paral-
lei to these rays, or perpendicular
to the rings of growth, the char
acteristic "flake" and figure of
quartered oak will appear in the
flooring. Therefore, quartered oak
is bit more expensive for the cor
responding grade than is plain
oak. But either kind will lay a
beautiful and serviceable floor.

TO-Date Department Store

Mr.. I. L. Benjamin, of W. Benjamin &

new goods. This firm recently purchased
the lease of S. LOwenthal on the store
room where Mr.. LOwenthal has conduct
ed business for many years past, but
did not purchase the LOwenthal stock,
this stock being taken over by the Phila-
delphia Underselling Company and re-
moved to Philadelphia for sale. Mr.. Ben
iamin opens his business here with a
complete new line of goods in every de-
partment. Speaking of his intentions,
Mr. Benjamin said:
81 hope to give the people of Salisbury
one of the most complete department
stores. on the Peninsula if not in the
State l shall endeavOr to merit the
trade by strict compliance to the rules
of square business dealing, and will al
ways have stock in every department Of
our store which cannot be eXcelled. Our
firm has had many years experience in
the dry goods business and l believe
we have the art of buying down to a
nicely.
"We have retained all the salesladies
formerly employed by Mr.. LOWenthal,
and it will be our endeavor to cater to
the trade here with a view OF building
up a great business in Salisbury. We
believe the business is here and all that
is necessary is for us to keep the goods
and offer them at the right prices, which
we shall certainly do. We solicit a share
of the patronage of the good people of
Salisbury and vicinity, and will endeavor
to merit their consideration by prompt
service and efficient and courteous treat
ment."

Our Store
TODAY

Fifteen years ago, on October s, 1915,
we first opened our doors for business
We acquired the store formerly occupied
by Samuel Lowenthal His seven clerks
all stayed on with us, and we are proud
to say that of this seven two of them are
still with us.
That our business has grown is dem
onstrated by our now occupying four
times as much floor space, doing eight
times as much business and employing
twenty-siX clerks. Is not this sufficient
proof that we have kept our promise
made fifteen years ago?
This remarkable growth has been due
largely to the zeal and faithful loyalty
of our employees. Not one or two, but
all, from the delivery boy up, have played
their part and I take this opportunity
to publicly thank each one for their real
cooperation. No store may point to a
better or more loyal group.
This peninsula has made wonderful
strides during this same fifteen years.
Its roads-second to none-its financial,
commercial, social, and industrial growth
have far exceeded our visions of few
years ago. Thousands of visitors come
to this Eastern Shore for rest, sports,
and pleasure. All this advancement has
been largely due to men of vision who
have advertised and promoted general
knowledge of this peninsula through the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association.
1t is natural that we should point with
pride to our own Salisbury that we have
seen advance until today it is a modern
community. 1t provides fine hospital,
the best of hotels, a complete water and
sewer system, and unexcelled fire de-
partment daily newspaper-in fact,
well organized little city.
We are glad we have played a small
part in the above growth and develop
ment. What we may have done is due,
we believe, to fair dealing and our in
terest in civic and community we'll
being. We pledge ourselves-on this
our fifteenth birthday-tO continue this
policy.

SOIL AFFECTS RADIO.

Placing a radio station seems utterly different from planting cotton but the two have one point in common The right kind of soil is import ant to the corn cotton crop and the right kind of soil is important to the most effective operation of the radio station. This face came out when a representative of a large concern manufacturing radio transmitting apparatus visited the United States Department of Agriculture and asked to anime soil-survey reports and maps guide to the placement of radio stations in the Middle West and Southwest This use of the soil-survey records was to the soil specialists of the department.
 The radio expert explained that engineers have found that radio transmission is better soils which retentive of moisture than drer soils They believe this is because the drer soils absorb the radio to greater degree than do the moist soils. He said that the soil maps and the detailed descriptions of the structure the texture, and the arrangement of the layers of soil which included in the departments so-survey reports have already proved useful in locating stations
 Soil-survey reports in demand by settlers in search of productive lands by farmers seeking to make the best of their fields, by engineers in building roads, by bank and mortgage concerns in estimating the loan value of farms These uses are familiar. but it will be to most soil veyors that their work also locates the spots on the earth which provides the best sounding boards for radio transmission

UNITED STATES IN CANADIAN
 POLITICS.

The Associated Press dispatches indicated that the Conservatives in the Canadian campaign that ended in a victory for their party Monday made a strong issue out of the American tariff The Con- Seryative leaders made the most of their case against the United States on the tariff and other matters Indicative of this is the following from the Victoria Colonist of a week before the elec- tion
 The real purpose of the present political
 campaign is not whether MT. King will
 go to Europe to attend Imperial trade
 conference, but whether Canada is to be used
 as pawn in the political affairs of the
 Hoover Administration. It means that Can

 she is to be mistress in her house"

 Those Americans who regret the turn of events in the Dominion ought not to blame the Canad- ians If the relations between the United States and Canada have been drifting into undesirable channels, Americans ought to lay the blame at the door of Congress and it's atrocous Hawley- Shoot Tariff.
