CHARITY OUTFITS ADMIT UNEMPLOYED
BEING PLUNGED DEEPER INTO HUNGER
AND MISERY; WORST IN 81 YEARS
Stop Work On Liners
AS Crisis Grows
Worse

In New Jersey 1900 shipyard work.
ers were fired without warning al
the New York Shipbuilding Company
plant. All work has been stopped on
two giant liners, due to the worsen-
ing crisis, especially hitting shipping
and shipbuilding.
In New York City $4,000 workers
now employed" at SIS week in the
city parks will be fired on April l.
These are just indications of what Is
happening throughout the country.
Instead of the promised return OF
'o'prsperity'' we see more unemploy-
ment, with thousands being laid off
every day. Not only is the unen-
ployed army growing rapidly but the
condition of the 100000 unemployed
is getting worse.
Reports from every charity organ
ization in the country state that the
condition of the unemployed is be-
coming frightful.. -~--. -s.-s--
The board of managers Of the Ass
ISOLATION for Improving the Condi-
tons of the Poor, a New York charity
outfit, reports that, "in 81 years OF
the AICP history, the need for COM
plete welfare service has never been
SO acute as at present"
They picture the bitter impoverish-
ment of wide masses of workers.
Their report goe son to state the big
increase in the destitute workers ask
ing charity. Perhaps the most tell
ing illustration of the need for ex-
pansion is tn efact that for the last
quarter of 1890 the number of APP
pHcants (for charity to the AICP
for relief increased 289 per cent over
a like period for 1929"
In New York State the Department.
of Social Welfare reported that the
number of families receiving aid grew
from 30.7 to 81 per cent.
On all sides we see unemployment
growing and the conditions of the
workers already unemployed for some
time reaching the lowest levels OF
misery and starvation. The charity
organizations are urging more hand
outs. They know the workers are be-
coming desperate.
On February 25th throughout tho
entire world the unemployed will
demonstrate in mighty action to
force relief. In the United States
widespread plans are being made for
this demonstration.

DISTRICT STATES
NO SHORTAGE OF
WATER EXPECTED

Although Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict has been diverting almost all
of the water flowing in the Colo
RADIO River below Yuma Tor more
than a month, there is little likli-
hood of water shortage, it was
stated by district officials today.
The flow of the river at Andrade
today is 3700 second feet, of which
3100 feet are diverted into the main
irrigation canal Reports from
Grand Canyon indicate a continued
flow of approximately the same
volume for the next 10 days.
One of the reasons that Imperial
Valley is unlikely to suffer shortage
of water at present lies in the fact
that Mexican lands are requiring
less than 3 per cent of the total
water diverted.
Records show that for two days
last week the district required every
drop of water flowing in the river.
Yuma project is wasting into the
river something like 1000 second feet
of water, which accounts for the in
creased flow at Andrade and which
in the present instance is an i'm

THE breakfast menu in many

varied from day to day. The fruit,
toast and coffee meal that can be

the busy housewife Is inclined to
follow the line of least resistance.
Children must have a nourishing
breakfast, but their menu too is
apt to become monotonous and to
consist of the same foods morning
after morning.
During cold weather every one
needs heartier food, and IL break
fast were made more interesting
more adequate meal might be
eaten and the day started with
greater yigor. Hearty breakfasts
and light luncheons balance the
days menu better than the break
fastless or very light breakfast
regime.
Fresh, canned and dried fruits
are available in such variety that
1t is possible to have different
one every day for several weeks.
This variety makes for economy.
since dried fruits are much cheap
er than fresh ones and can be used
on alternate mornings.
Many Cereals Available
Cereals also are offered in great
variety. Hot cereals are especial
ly suitable for cold weather break
fasts and may be had in almost
any grain and in many different
kinds of milling. Ready-to-serye
cereals can be used for the sake
of variety when some other hot
dish is included in the menu.
TIE third course of the break
fast menu requires thought and
planning if the homemaker would
serve other than the hackneyed
combinations of bacon and eggs.

smoked and salted varieties have
a pleasant tang that compares IA
vorably with ham or bacon.
Dried beef suggests another
change for the third course and
can be prepared in many appetiz-
ing ways.
Vegetables too seldom are used
for breakfast. Creamed on toast

Mullins, griddle cakes. waffles
and French toast provide a well
come change from toast every

serve these breadstuffs in great
