Brooklyn Charities
Refuse Help to a
Starving Worker

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Raymond Sa-
cirston of 40 Pacific Street was re-
fused help from a charity takers
joint at 140 Union Street. His wife
waited from a. m. until 5 p. m.
merely to find out that the mice"
people of the above organization
could not give her no help.
The Boro Hall Unemployment
Council knows the treatment which
workers receive from the capitalist
courts and their charity agents. The
council exposes them right and left,
going into court, following up evic-
ton cases, rousing the Women's
councils and the members of the
Boro Hall Unemployed Council for
the purpose of building a Tenants
League about each eviction case that
reaches their notice.

HOOVer's New Census
Second Attempt to
Hide ,Jobless Growth

WASHINGTON, D. G. Fearing
that the first census taken during
April of this year has geen given
the lie by the growth of the jobless
army to 100000 the Census Bureau
is preparing another census begin
ming Jan. Is.
Comparison of the official govern
ment figures of 2 and half million
unemployed with the swelling bread
lines in all large cities and the adj
mission by local boss politicians has
driven the Hoover administration to
this second attempt to hide the ex-
tent of the crisis.
The Federal Unemployment Com
mission headed by Col Woods is still
beating the toms-toms of promises of
construction building. The Commits
sion has settled down to sending out
circular letters urging construction
building which has fallen off ire
mendously and which will never be
started.

AND ITS PEOPLES
ALLIGAToRs
By Capt. l, R. CIovd Robinson

IN CEYLON many of the rivers
abound in alligators which come
ashore to bask in the sun, all with
their heads turned toward the water
except one of them who acts as q
Waterman and whose snout is turned
toward land. When he gives the signal
of danger there is general stampede
that one hardly thinks them worth
powder and ball, and their horny sides
make 1t more trouble to kill them than
they are worth. friend of mine,
when patrolling one Of these rivers,
had a very narrow escape. His COM
panion, who was walking on the oppo
site bank, took shot at an alligator
right in front of him; and instantly
the ball crashed into the branches Of
a tree under which my friend was
walking. 1t had been DETECTED from
the reptiles back.
There is method of catching ALI
gators which affords some sport to
those who are Indifferent to the suf-
fering it entails You take live puppy
and strap him on to raft formed of
two pieces of tough wood lashed in
the form of cross. You sharpen. all
the four points of this cross and
fasten to it hank of Irvine a yard
long to which you attach rope. You
then foatyo puppy, who is of course
yelping loudly, on still pool or back
water of the stream, and tie the end
of the rope to a tree You then see
that your revolver is handy, and with
a half a dozen or more natives you sit
under the tree and watch.
In few minutes pair of enormous
jaws appears above the surface of the
water; the puppy disappears into
them, but they do not close with the
facility with which they open, for the
cross has stuck in the brute's throat
and the strands of the hank of Irvine
have got between his teeth. You now
Way onto the rope with a will, and
slowly draw the reluctant monster
ashore while he lashes the water with
his tail in impotent rage. When you
nave got him on shore, you keep at
respectful distance and take pot shots
with your revolver at his eye. If you
keep on doing this long enough you
will finally kill him. Those who have
tried this sport" say that the life of
the unfortunate puppy can be saved
more often than not.
The alligators in some of the rivers
of Ceylon are so voracious and nu-
merous that the natives, who are very
fond of bathing, stake off their bath
ing places. From these strongholds
you can safely taunt an alligator
should he come and poke his nose be-
tween the bars and sniff your tempt
ing flavor-even jabbing at him with a
knife. Near the mouths of the rivers
the natives think it is safe to battle
without the protection of any such
device, as they believe the water is
too salt for the alligators and too
fresh for the sharks.

very important facts, namely, that as

their own religion-usually, regret to

which they might not otherwise OBJ

commonly bought and sold in the In
dian bazaars. This fraudulent dis
posal of recommendations does not
appear to be prevalent among men
of the real servant class, Hindu or
Mohammedan, who are usually unable
to speak English owing to the custom
of British officials of almost invariably
addressing them in Hindustanee. In
the circumstances it was not surpris-
