UNEMPLOYMENT Is
GROWING RAPIDLY
100000 Starve in Phila.
Mayor Admits

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 - Unem-
ployment is growing fast According
to the figures just issued by the De-
partment of Labor for January, more
than 100000 more workers lost their
job in that one month, and many
hundreds of thousands more were
put on part time. Wage cuts were
handed out left and right.
The department. of labor figures
for employment show up completely
all the lies about any improvement
in the economic situation. In fact,
in January when so many plants were
supposed to have start up, the de-
partment of labor states that AZ per
cent of the workers employed lest
their jobs. There was decrease of
80 pei cent in payrolls, showing a
terrific number of wage cuts and
p
part time employment. While the
department of labor figures apply to
fifteen leading industries, they are
applicable to all the industries in the
United States.
Here is startling proof of the cease
less increase in the unemployed army.
A half million increase in one month!
This is the month the capitalist
press Dragged about as the beginning
of prosperity. This is the kind of
prosperity they are giving the work
ers-5oo,o 900 more thrown out on the
streets to starve, swelling the army
of unemployed well over the ten mil
lion mark.
In Philadelphia, Mayor Mackey de-
clares that if the charity handouts
don't increase he viii have to call
out the militia to shoot down the mil
liant unemployed. He says in Phila-
delphia alone 100000 men and women
and $4,000 children are starving to
death.
These facts show that the struggle
for mediate relief and for unsmploy-
ment insurance must rally ever more
millions of workers. The boss gov
eminent has shown its contempt for
the unemployed. The Delegation to
Washington representing millions OF
unemployed fighting for relief were
thrown out Of congress. They were
not given the right to present their
demands.
Prepare now for February 25' y
Agitate In your shop for action on
February 25th. Every worker is hit
wage cuts are growing with unem-
ployment. You will be next in the
unemployed army If you are not al
ready there. Unemployed and en-
ployed must fight for relief. Rally
to the International Unemployment
Day Demonstration. Fight. don't
starve!

SISTER MARY'S

Most of us overlook the possi- bilities of peanut butter in cook ing. We recognize 1t as a sand wich filling but seldom work 1t in- to menus as an important food.
 Peanuts themselves are high in food value, comparing favorably with meat. The quality of peanut protein has been analysed by the chemists of the United States Food bureau and found to be remark ably endowed with the essentials of high quality protein. Compar- ative tables show that one uound of peanuts yields 25-8 per cent protein while one pound of porter house steak yields 21.9 per cent of these important calories.
 Comparing the fast content of peanuts, beef steak and eggs, q table of comparative food values gives peanuts 38.6 per cent, steak 2o.4 per cent and eggs 11.4 per cent.
 Peanuts also contribute 24.4 per cent of barohydrates. Steak and eggs furnish none.
 The total number of calorles provided by each of these food stuffs reveals an amazing compari- son. Eggs supply 765 caiories per pound, steak 1230 calories per pound and peanuts 249O caiorics per pound.
 As to mineral content. peanuts are much richer in calcium and phosphorus than either steak or eggs. Iron Is .001 per cent higher In steak and eggs than in the nuts,
 The vitamin content of peanuts is lower than that of eggs, but otherwise the vitamins are the same as those supplied by the or- dinary protein sources.
 Peanut butter Is easier to digest than the whole nuts. In their na- tural state peanuts are rather diff. flcult to masticate and few people take time to chem them thorough- ly. The high fat content makes them slow of digestion even in the butter, but nut oils are not indi. gestible and the butter persentt them in such n form that the d. gestive juices can act quite rapid ly.
 Cream of peanut butter soub peanut butter and tomato loaf. peanut butter and potato croquet. tes, macaroni and peanut butter scallop, peanut butter and prunt sauad, pear and peanut butter salad dressing--all these dishes add nourishment and variety tS menus at small cost.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
1.-THE GUILTY GENERATION"
 NEW TALkf1E HIT, OPENS AT WARNEItS' STATE WEDNESDAY,

Leo Carrillo, whose art Is per- feet thing and whose personality Is without imitators, comes to the theater "wednesday with Constance Cummings, one of the Wampas Baby Stars of the 1891 crop; Rob- bert Young, the new leading man everyone is talking about, and Boris Karioff, whom they say is being groomed to i'll the place left va cant by Lon Chaney's death. The picture is "The Giuity Generation" l" from play by Jo Milward and J. Kerby Hakkes. | The story is tehsley dramatic one, presenting the interesting problem of whether. innocent mem- bers of family should suffer shame for the guilty ones. If chll- dren want to be upright, honorable. honest and live peaceful normal lives, should they be tiled to law breakers and murderers just be- cause they are they parents chil- dren? Can a racketeer father buy responsibility for his children with his ill-gotten riches?
 Carrillo plays the father of Miss Cummings and Karloff plays the father of Young. The fathers are racketeers engaged in battle for supremacy and the children are in love. despite the fact that 1t will mean death for either or both or them if their fathers learn of 1t. The story Is primarily drama of love and the relationship between children and parents. The action takes place almost entirely on q gorgeous Florida estate, where the girl Is surrounded by every luxury that money can buy, hut Is denied the happiness of openly confessing her love.

"Do you need any heip?"
 Sue recognised the girls voice that drifted from the automobile that had come along side the car where she waited for Ruth Brad- ley. It belonged to Corrinne.
 "C0rrinnei Oh, I'm 50 glad you came. We ran out of gas." Sue was climbing out of the car.
 Now she stopped and her brows grew together in 2 puzzled frown. "Who Is with you T"

 The tail boy, who had been Cor rinne's shadow in high schpol, scrambled out of the car. Now Sue could zee that the car was a good looking model. Not the old painted rattle-rap that had been parked in front of the Merryman house so often before Corrinne was married.

TOUCHDOWN" WITH OAKIE
 ARLIEN AND SHANNON
Delights Week End Audiences at
 Htltl

touchdown" the new Para mount hit which has been delight ing large audiences at Warmers State during the week end, is grand and glorious ali-Americar enter tainment. In 1t Jack Oakfe, the talkie's wise-cracking champ, all but steals the picture from Richard Arlen, it's star.
 The story is effective for a good many reasons---but the first one that occurs to this reviewer Is the ending. It reminds us Of other foot ball summary that was ever un- folded upon the silver screen; for the home team, the team coached by Richard Arlen. and the ono which we have been roofing for all through the action, does not win the final game. In fact, the team loses decisively against a su- perior gridiron foe.
 But however dramatic this may make the denoucement appear, don't misunderstood; the ending Is q happy one, morally. For Arlen wins the heart of a pretty girl, and there is n decided savour of ornnge- blossoms in the air at the final closeup.
 "Touchdown!" is avery vital and exciting story. It goes farther than the gaoi posts to get its audience interest. It reaches into life's cray on-b box and sketches characters,
 moods, emotions. social nuances, and action that are wholly believe able and diverting at all times. Tn fact "Touchdown!" Is as far from the average football story as the Notre Dame team of 10s0 wns from the Notre Dame team of 1903. Tn the numerous football scenes appear many of the Eridiron great of the past few years. There are
 i've ail-American players in the lineup.
 The story deals with the moral, social and romantic issues at stake
 in the building up of a great foot hall team. Arlen, as the coach, Is the central figure in these dranhat- ic-romaftic events. Peggy Shan non is the girl he loves, is more
 bewitching than ever. Charles Scar
 rett. Regis Toomev and George
 Barbifr have prominent parts. And to top 1t off you can paste up four stars for the surrounding
 program. its a honey!

NORMA sHEARER AND ROBERT MONTGOMERY IN
 PRIVATE LIVES" AT THE EOX.POLI PALACE

Bfoadway's most sensational farce hit supplied the story and intriguing title of Private Lives now playing the Fox-Poli Palace with Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery co-starred by Metro. Goldwyn- Mayer under direction of sidney Franklin.
 Brcak-Neck Pace
 It is high farce at a break-neck pace and, In the opinion of this rec viewer, the most hilarious picture offered in many months. Both Miss Shearer and Montgomery seem perfectly at home in it's happy but scrappy = environ ment and it is easy to imagine that they had quite as much fun making the picture as the audience did in laughing at its gay wit and hysterical situations.
 The story Is about a divorced man and wife who marry again to spite each other. By chance both couples are assigned to adjoining bridal suites in a French hotel on the first night of the honeymoon They row with their respective spouses and discover each others presence, finally eioping to a cha let in Switzerland where they later are found by their rightfully en- rnged - but chaste = bride and bridegroom.
 Spontaneous Humor
 It is n screaming affair from start to finish and hits q merry
 pace that makes 1t difficult td wonder just how 1t all came to be put together. It seems utterly spontan eous and so unexpected are tho episodes that 1t all appears on- ly too real. :,
 Reginald Denny, Una Merkel Jean Hersholt and George Davis do good work in the chief support ing roles.
