$4,000 on a charge Of knowingly receiv
ing and accepting fraudulent re-entry

Growing agitation for Inauguration
OF shorter working day and week

today marked the efforts of labor to
combat unemployment. as prospects for
jobs for the unemployed next Winter
appeared more remote.
From the three day conference of
organized railroad labor, concluded here
last night by the representatives of Il
unions, came word that efforts would
be continued to arrange a meeting with
heads of railroads from throughout the
country, to take up the question OF
growing unemployment in the ranks of
railroad labor. Linked with such a
discussion would be the institution of
the Six-hour work day and 11ve-day
week.
Worse Winter Feared.
At the same time. President Green

issued a statement predicting that the
unemployment situation this coming

adding that shorter hours constituted

unemployment problem"

Too Strenuous Exercise Is Harmful

almost as we'll with his eyes shut
A practiced rifle or revolver shot can
aim without sighting. A good mile
runner can tell you the time it takes
him to run his first lap without
looking at his watch.
Skill is thus an essential part of
accomplishment, and when asso-
ciated with endurance means sue
cess. Hill points out that one can
not be a good runner unless he can
expend energy rapidly, and the rea-
son that women can not run as fast
as men is simply that they can not
exert the same amount of force and
emery.
The chief value of exercise is
general stimulation of all body ac-
tivitieS. Carried to excess exercise
results in dangerous overstimula-
ton. Muscle activity produces IA
tigue poisons.
The average man thinks he has
exercised we'll when he is terribly
fatigued, stiff and sore after his ef-
forts.
Williams points out that "that ex-
ercise is most scientific which pro-
duces increasing amounts of fatigue
substances, causing increased re-
sistance to fatigue, but at no time
resulting in soreness or stiffness"

A Glorious Vision

INDIA may be a far corner, but
4 it is one which swarms with hu-
mankind. OF late it has become
the custom to say that the world
of tomorrow will be shaped wholly
on the outcome of the fight between
capitalism and Communism, or, at
any rate, some form of coIectiv1Sm.
But India is now being a gospel
which has very slight relationship
to the mode of America or Of
Russia.
In his address he glorified the
old days of the hand worker and
the thread finer than that which
could be made by any machine.
Again, he spoke of the Indian vii
lagos in the days in which each
small community was sufficient un-
to itself.
And seemingly it is his notion
that at least his own country could
return to a sort of primitive pas
toral life. If he could bring to his
followers a complete sense OF fell
lowship, tribal warfare would not
mar this loose federation.
Of course, when Ciandfi speaks
of the spinning wheel and Of the
garden patch he ought to go on and
explain that he intends to renounce
those devices which are pointed to
with pride by modern civilization.
Without mass production and the
factory system there could hardly
have been a radio through which
Gandhi could chant his measured
