urday when Americas finest grid
iron spectacle-Army VS.. Navy -

button of approximately 100000
for charity.
Saturdays clash is the second in
succession between the two service
academies for the benefit of charity.
Aside from the clash for suprem-
acy at football the colorful feature
of the event will be the attendance
of the m:dshipment and the cadets

pears to have a big advantage over
its ancient rival, but Navy's fine
showing against Pennsylvania last
week ana past performances in the
service team game which prove the
midshipmen always are tough at
the objective stage of the season,
may hold the odds to even money.

said, promising the automobile
traveller an unusually comfortable
journey east and west through the

Are You watching Your
Blood Pressure?

Almost every case of apoplexy is
aggravated by spells of indigestion,
often accompanied by dizziness, es-
pecially after eating heavy foods or
too hearty meal.
If you are beginning to be trou-
bled by slight digestive upsets-if
you have pain or other distress af-
ter eating-if you suffer from sick
headaches or dizzy spells
Start taking a tablespoonful OF
Dare's Mentha Pepsin before meals.
BY replenishing your scanty gastric
Juice and easing the load on a tired
stomach, Dare's keeps your stomach
from getting out of order.
No conscientious druggist would
pretend for moment that any
stomach remedy could absolutely
prevent apoplexy. But he will tell
you that by keeping your digestion
running along smoothly, you are
doing much to lessen the danger of
an attack.
Clements Drug Store and all good
druggists guaranteed Dare's to over
come indigestion or money back.

SHOPPERS GIVEN
INSTRUCTIONS BY
CHIEF OF POLICE

Frank P. McCaslin, Ell Centro po-
lice chief, today discharged an an
nual duty.
And Frank Smyer, city traffic Of
ficer, added his bit to the affair.
McCaslin, however, did not make
light Of the usual Christmas warn
ing to shoppers not to leave pack
ages in cars which are unlocked,
nor to leave the packages in cars
parked in front of their residences.
An orgy OF petty theft that
usually appears about Christmas
time has taught the chief of police
and his officers a hard lesson which
they wish to pass on to shoppers
who are inviting theft when they
leave packages in their cars.
Smyer, who lately has been con-
ducting a campaign against vio-
lators of the two-hour parking law,
commented that many of the viola
tors leave their keys in the cars,
inviting the thieves to drive the car
away as we'll as steal the packages.
BY cooperation in this matter
shoppers may considerably tighten
the burden on the police depart
ment, and save themselves expen-
sive loss, McCaslin asserted.
Idaho has shipped 7,l00 cars OF
apples, about 1000 cars more than
shipped last year.

Unemployed Workers Should Get Along On t95 C..
IA Week or Less, Says Writer on World Telegram

NEW YORK. - That an unemployed worker
can live on "95 cents week or less" and that
this starvation fare ds) an accepted thing"
among the hundreds of thousands of New York
City'S starving unemployed workers and their
families, is the theme of an article in Tuesdays
New York World-Telegran, one Of the papers of
the liberal" Scripps- Howard group, which has
been attempting to fool the workingclass with a
fake call for unemployment relief-at the work
ers' expense The article cynically adds that
zone fellow by the name Of Butch something or
other couldn't, and the morgue got him..
The article deals with the miserable conditions
Of thousands of homeless unemployed workers
who, thrown out of their jobs and their homes
by the Bosses have built up rude shelters Of pack
ing cases under the Brooklyn bridge.
Photographic reproduction of one Of these
shacks is printed in this issue
With coarse comedy and callous cynicism the
World Telegram writer carefully covers up the
appalling misery of these destitute workers. many
of whom were forced by conditions to break up
their homes and abandon their families on the
grounds that their wives and children would
have trifle better chance without an extra
mouth to feed. AS an example of the cynicism
of the World-Telegram writer:
with good management In the Jungle of
wooden boxes and rusty tin exactly under the
Brooklyn bridge, at the edge of the river, man
can not only live, but be in the upper social
stratum Of his community and give handouts
to the needy on less than Is cents a day" And
again:
"Its boys ideal Of game, this shanty town

or when it rains or sometimes when the river
backs up through the sewer and floods the place

1.-THE Shacks for the most part are about the
size of piano box, protected at least ON the
north and west because most of the winds come
from there, with fire smoking ON the open
side"
And now, the World-Telegram writer gives
his idea of how a jobless worker can live in
these dog kennels on "95 cents a week or less.
In the comfort of his steam heated Office and
with a full belly the bourgeois writer gives the
following solution" for the millions of workers
starving throughout the country:
"And so if man can raise as much as 95
cents week, he may enjoy varied diet in
Guiding Injuries and moments of exhilaration
above his fellows. He may spend it this way:

WHERE UNEMPLOYMENT
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED

The following figures show how the rapid
growth Of the industry and development of the
agricultural industry have brought about the
complete liquidation OF unemployment in the
Soviet Union
In April, 1929, there were still 100000 unem-
ployed in the U.SSR. BY April, $780, this num-
Der decreased to I,0S0000; while by the fall of
1890 unemployment was in the main Iquidated,
and the Proletarian State was confronted with
the task of training Immediately fresh cadres for
the rapidly developing national economy
At the time when in all capitalist countries the
numerical strength Of the proletariat decrease
from year to year and the number grows of sucn
workers who have lost all hopes for ever getting
any work in the U.S.S.R. the number Of workers
and employees occupied is steadily growing.
According to the Five-Year Plan, it was map
ped out that in 1880 the number of workers and
employees occupied would amount to 12,S0O,OO0;
however the rapid development of the national
economy led to the fact that already towards the
end of 1880 the Soviet proletariat numbered
100000 persons.
During the course Of 1881 in connection with
the further development of the national economy
during this year nearly 500 new large-scale en-
terprises will be constructed, two million more
workers and employees, including 100000 wo-
men, will be drawn into industry.
The drawing in of these fresh cadres OF work
ers is bound to raise considerably the weu-being
Of the workers In every family today there are
more than member, and sometimes several
members working thus the earnings of a work
ing family have greatly increased.
The bourgeois and social-faScist press in their
vilification and SANDER of the USSR. and the
Socialist construction does not stop before any
thing. 1t Indignantly raves about the fact that
"the Soviet Power has abolished the system of
handing out unemployment relief" But it fails
to note in this connection that there is simple
reason for this, namely that unemployment had
been Iiquidated.
Unemployment relief in the Soviet Union has
actually been done away with. For in the U.SSR.
there are no unemployed and no one to give this
relief to- Furthermore, there can be no unem-
ployment in the U.S.S.R. also in the future Along
with the degree of development of the Socialist
construction the demand for labor power keeps
on steadily growing.
The whip of the capitalist world-unemploy-
ment-does not threaten the free proletarians of
the Soviet Union.

WORLD unemployment is becoming more and

sands of workers are steadily pouring into the
hungry ranks Of the unemployed armies through
out the world. The economic crisis and capital

workers are faced with the threatening danger
of being fired. Who is sure Of tomorrow? Who

ment and cast out Of the ranks of the en-
ployed?
Only there where the working class, under

the Soviet Union the working class is not threat

the heat of its Socialist construction The num-
Der of factories and mills being built is rapidly
growing, industry is extending, ever greater num-
bers of working hands are necessary.
In the Soviet Union there is no more unem-
ployment. The developing Socialist economy has
absorbed all the reserves of labor power and to-
day a shortage Of skilled and even unskilled
labor power can be felt. In the Soviet Union
at the present time the basic task is, not the

came from the village. The exploitation of the

unemployed armies.
But the reconstruction of the agricultural in

again, the well-being of the peasantry has signi-

to this the number of free working hands in the
village decreased and finally, unemployment dis
