A Strange Stand.

The Army has indeed put itself ir
q peculiar position before the public in
regard to the proposal Of the Navy tc
play post-season foot ball game fol
the relief of the unemployed. OF course
there is little, If any, cordially Of feel
ing in regard to foot ball between the
two service institutions; but to the
average person the reasons for this
lack of cordially are of no particular
moment, especially when viewed in the
light of the fact that both are Govern
ment colleges and that the Army Navy
game in the past has been a spectacle
to stir patriotism. When It comes, how
ever, to a refusal to play for charity
then the Army's stubborn attitude be-
comes something else again, and one
that is not calculated to tickle the pride
Of the American people in their mill
tary institution.
The proposed game, were it to be
staged in Soldiers Stadium, at Chicago,
would be expected to draw crowd of
approximately one hundred and fifty
thousand persons with receipts close to
million dollars. Now, million dol
lars is conceded to be only a drop in
the bucket compared to what is actually
needed for unemployment relief, but
even a drop is starter, and If other
colleges, with the Army-Navy game as
an example, played charity contests Of
their own, this one million dollars
might easily grow into five million or
more.
The reasons given by Maj. Gen. Will
liam r. Smith, superintendent Of the
Military Academy, for refusal to set this
fine example to other American colleges
are that the Army institution already
gives ten per cent Of its foot ball revenue
to charity and that another game, with
possible injuries to the players, might
set some of the future generals back a
bit in their studies. Strong arguments,
most assuredly, for refusing to partic-
ipate in raising million dollars for the
jobless millions and for setting an ex-
ample that might be followed by the
raising Of other millionsl
Il
As matter of fact and without going
into the merits or dement's Of the con-
troversy which ended the annual Army
Navy foot ball contest, the public is
getting fed up no end with the mole
hill that has been made into q noun
tain and which, charity or no charity,
prevents the resumption Of the game.
If, for any one of thousand reasons
two private schools or colleges decide
that they want to be mad" at each
other. all well and good. It is their
privilege But when either or both OF
the Governments institutions dis
play the same claildishness and are al
lowed to get away with it, it is time to
end the nonsense. And no time would
seem better than the present, II safe
field can be found, for the staging Of a
patriotic spectacle which viii bring re-
lief to the unemployed.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHuANDER JOHNSON.
The Bell.

The Bell.
Across the hill the breezes fling
An echo Of the old church bell;
I hear with silent welcoming
The greeting that know so well.
It's like voice from far away
That bids us for a time forget
The cares that haunt US day by day.
The vanished hope, the vain regret.
The busting world with pomp and pride
Moves on nor needs this spot obscure
Where simple speech is sanctified
To ease the pangs life must endure.
A gentle faith reigns here supreme;
1t brings report that all is well
Despite ambitions fevered dream,
This messenger, the old church bell

a healthy one, to see Mr.. Hoover drop

He shows thereby jealous regard for

The bank officials Of Philadelphia
are trying to hand out the bunk that
the closing Of this huge institution
"does not effect" other banks in
Philadelphia. The same story was
peddled In New Yorl when the Bank
of the q. s. closed. Within two weeks
afterwards the Chelsea Bank and

and over $4,000 depositors crashed.
The fact Of the matter is the closing

economic structure of the country.
Huge crowds gathered at the banks.
Samuel H. Barker, president OF the
bank issued a series of Optimistic"

out to the depositors, many of whom
can't eat without their savings. Thou

NEW YORK.-Among themselves
the capitalists admit freely the fake
nature OF the Hoover building pro-
gram, for which congress has just
appropriated S116,O00,0o0. Now a
question has been raised among them
as to whether such fakes may not do
capitalism more harm than good. To
be sure, the jobless may be fooled at
the moment, but what when they re-
alize they have been swindledp
The Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, big business periodical
not intended for the common work
ing and jobless man to read, says in
its issue of Dec. 20:
May we call attention to one pos
sible effect of making these plans for
work which we cannot fulfill--a
deeper dissatisfaction among the
masses? Take the millions appro-
priated and to be appropriated for
public roads! Can a good concrete
be mixed and laid in freezing

Have the sites been procured, and
can they be without, often, condem-
nation proceedings?" Condemnation
proceedings take at the minimum
two years and average about five.)

Bundle orders in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh

subscriptions and bundle orders in New York is
e57 to 6657; Chicago 1858 to 1923; Detroit, 1913
to 1894; Seattle, 80 to 453 What do we find in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh? The bundle order
in Philadelphia is only SIS against a sub list of
Alb.
Philadelphia should put on an increase of at
least $50 week between now and the end of
the drive This can be done by getting the
Party membership into action and organizing
Red Builders News Clubs.
Pittsburgh city bundle order amounts to only
1856. This Is too low. When city the size of
Sacramento, CAL, days further away from the
city of publication, sell over $50 per day,
Pittsburgh should be selling four times as much
than it does at present
Other spots where bundle orders are weak are:
