Stewart has been interested in
the study Of the voyages Of Column
bus for the past five years. he said,
and has delved into it thoroughly,
even going to Spain TO copy Column
bus own log and TO CLEAN facts
from his personal letters. Motion
pictures in color as well as still
pictures will be taken during the
trip.
Columbus Might Have Erred
The log as kept by Columbus,
while accurate in so far as his reck-
oning was possible TO keep it SO,
was influenced by two factors which
keep it from being reliable, Stew
art explained. One Of these is the
fact that there IS a deviation In
every ships compass, and It is not
known just how much the compass
Of the Santa Maria was off. An
other is the fact that the magnetic
pole has changed somewhat since
his day.
The Centaur was designed espe-
cially for the cruise. 1t is 81 feet
in length, with an 10 foot beam
and Is powered with a l50-horse-
power Diesel engine. This is aidec
by sails. There is a crew Of four.

the Pullman tossers of the Ter

second baseman Of the team, a
record which is thrown at every

vicinity as a challenge.
In other words the Pull

Walter Jo'lnson's men have ex-
tended the touted Athletics this
season. He said:
We've won IS balls games
and lost 81 to date. That gives
us q .625 standing. To beat
this mark the Athletics have
been forced to win SO Of 139
engagements.
Even that doesn't tell the
story. Suppose some Of those
other teams had fought Connie
Mack's crowd as successfully
as we have? Where would the
pennant be flying by nOw?".
Martins logic, it appears, is
sound. In 1924 Bucky Harris
championship Griffs fell some
thing like 1S percentage points
short of the Washington clubs
present standard.
At present it looks as it, the
AS will top the 100 game

udu OUT ueIe. AuaG "edub
they're not so hot to me-"
Hap Hardell, coach Of the
Tech High School eleven talking
and moaning his usual sob story
as some As candidates hustled
around a section of Maryland
University's field at College Park.
They're too inexperienced
for the most part. They've
got too much to learn and too
little a space of time to learn
it in. But, I'll say I've got
the makings Of a good club in
about two years."
We smiled as we asked the
next question Of what departments
of the team had to be rebuilt from
last year, knowing his answer.
''Why, the whole team has
got to be rebuilt" said Hap.
81 haven't any tackles for one
thing. No center. No ends. I
have a fair backfield, that's all.
But the entire squad is green
when it comes to knowing real
football. And that's why /
can't agree with those who
have said I have the best col
lection Of men ever seen here"
Poor Hap. It is a sorry thing
that he is so pessimistic about
his teams in football. Yet it's
best he's that way, for if he was
truly confident his players would
catch his feelings and acquire the
all too sure attitude, which would
be ruin right from the start.
The Techites, however, do not
look so bad, even though the
squad in its entirety is young,
green, and inexperienced. AS Hap
said, there is the makings in the
collection of warriors in practice.
From the looks of it, although,
according to Hap. no player is
considered a regular as yet, the
team promises to have a COM
mendable backfield including the
trio. AL Reichman, Dick Nelson
and Joe YZnaga, with the fourth
member yet to be named.
Reichman and Yznaga are the
real plunging type of backs,
heavy and full of drive, with
Nelson a forward passer of real
promise.
But" says Hap, injecting a
little humOr into his usual
serious attitude, chow are you
going to have a good backfield
when you have . quarterback
who speaks only about three
words a day? That's all Nelson
can do, and we all fall over
when he says more than four
words. And he's out for quar-
terback, the position which
calls for a lot of spirit, yells of
encouragement, hea work.
Maybe he's holding out on US,
/ don't know"
All in all Hardell has an en-.
thuSiaStic lot of players under his
wing this year. They are, accord
ing to him. truly the most serious
and energetic collection he has
ever handled. And most of it is
through the absolute understand
ing Of Hardell and his system.
Hap certainly has it down pat.
He tells the players what he
wants them to do. how to do it,
and why, and they follow his
directions to the letter without
a great deal of explaining. In
other words, they are out for the
team to work for a regular posi-.
ton and they know they can't
gain their desires unless they
give their all and nothing but all.

all received the dole in some shape
or form.
The government paid out $780,
100000 both in 1928 and 1929 in
unemployment benefits, and since
the average number of unemploy-
ed is estimated at 100000, the
weekly dole per head is about
$2.75.
At the present time there are
100000 without work in Austria,
and it is forecast that the total
for 1880 will be higher than in
previous years.
Whether or not the dole tends
to increase or decrease unemploy-
ment is a much debated point.
Austrian industrialists and bank
ers claim that it increases unem-
ployment because it paralysis bus
mess and necessitates dismissals
and the closing of factories. On
the other hand, Socialists claim
that the dole has no affect on the
problem, which they say is due to
increasingly bad economic condi-
tons and other factors.
Italy
Italy had a monthly average of
299,954 unemployed during 1929
compared with monthly average
of 324,422 in 1928.
Maximum unemployment in 1929
was reached in February when
there were 4S9,347 out of work,
and the minimum in June when
the total was 193,325. In 1928 the
maximum was reached in January
with 439,211 and the minimum in
July with 234,21O.
There is no system of "doles,"
as it is known in Great Britain.
Unemployed people are helped I'M
der a form of compulsory insur-
ance paid evenly by employers and
employees on the basis of the lat
ter's wages.
These payments are effected
through the Casa Nazionale AS
sicurazioni Social or National
Bank on Social assurances, which
is a semi-governmental body.
There are no figures as to the
payments made by this bank avail
able either for 1923 or 1929, but
according to an authority this re-
lief does not in any way affect the
fluctuation of unemployment.
France
Unemployment in France is al
most negligible. At the end of
1929 there were 1900 out of
work, including 1871 men and A.
918 women, as compared with H.
785 unemployed at the end of
1928.
Unemployed in France receive
state relief, paid out from the
Ministry of Labor's funds. There
is no unemployment insurance
scheme as in Great Britain, al
though a social insurance law
along these lines is shortly to be
brought into force.

of-works, which already in the
present financial year, ending
March 81, 1880, 179, $500 dollars
have been spent in unemployment
benefits, generally and colloquial-
ly known as "the dole"
1t is estimated that the govern
ment is paying out something ov-
er 100000 a week in doles
which average around Sc per head
plus allowances for families.
Certain authorities contend that
this unemployment dole tends 10
increase unemployment and point
to recent parliamentary legislation
introduced by the Labor govern
ment as supporting this belief.
The unemployment insurance act
provides, subject to certain excep-
tons, for the compulsory insur-
ance against unemployment of
substantially all employed persons.
This act was recently extended to
include boys of sixteen years of
age.
This extension was strenuously
but unavailingly fought by op-
pOnents Of the dole, who triumph
antly pointed to the increase in
unemployment which Immediately
followed its enactment.
Labor circles, however, maintain
that unemployment in Great Brit
ain and Northern Ireland is due
primarily to the poor economic
condition of the country, princi-
pally the coal-mining industry and
agriculture.
Germany
There were 3,030,285 unemploy-
ed In Germany at the end of De-
cember, 1929, as compared with
2,741,798 at the end of December
1928. 1t is pointed out, however
that these totals include So pei
cent seasonal industries.
Of the 1929 total 1,948,811 were
receiving unemployment benefits
including 210,240 receiving emer.
gency benefit for part time labor
In 1928 1,829,716 received this
benefit, including 1894 receiv.
ing emergency benefits.
The German government durins
1929, paid out 1,200,000,OOO marks
in benefits, and in 1923, 1000 900,
600 marks, the equivalent of $500,
