Chicago. ov 25- (UP)--More than 100000 persons who otner- wise might go hungry Tnanksgiv- ing day will feast to-morroW De- cssass Americans are good fellows.
 The United Press to-day checked plans of organisations, welfare groups. churches. business houses and Individuals In 27 representative cities ranging in population from less than 10000 to. New Yorks millions.

Similar activities in the other cities and towns in the nation indi- cated a total of 100000 recipi- ents of Thanksgiving cheer.
 Although funds are not so plen- tiful this year, more people are trying to aid less fortunate neigh bors because the general need IS greater, the survey inoicaveo. For that reason there should be fewer hungry overlooked than usual.
 The cities reporting, the num- bers to be fed and the groups of individuals sponsoring the feasts are tabulated below. In a few in- stances estimates are based on last years totals.
 Chicago's some 7,500 families ana 5000 individuals will receive special Thanksgiving meals. The regular county welfare food will be distributed to 30,000 other fam flies and will include some extras and delicacies.

lIghts, police ana Ire urDtortion.
 Talking on this question some time ago, Mayor Hayes szid he be- lleved the bus service will have to be used here tn convey children to school, rather than putting up new buildings. There can be no doubt about the truth of this. People can manage to get along for a while without certain kinds of public i'm provements, but if education is hampered 1t cannot be made up for later in life.
 The inconvenience of sinking wells, digging cesspools and poling here and there in the night through dark streets, is not pleasant, but these things are bound to come when sections build up. and when people get them they forget all about the hardstips of the past. It is different with the schools. Unless boys and girls get little education at the proper age they stand a show, many of them, anyhow, of going through life poorly equipped to engage in the race for a liveli- hood.
 After the schools, what comes next? Some would say police and fire protection. both essential, but others would put city water first, and then let them wait and battle

 It is a pity more women do not attend city meetings In larger num-
 bers and talk for such things as they need. A delegation of mothers coming to make an appeal has Q
 more favorable impression upon | public ofilciAls than a gathering of l the most eloquent men that could crowd into a meeting room. A mother telling about her boys and girls getting diphtheria or other

 Washington, November 26 - (UP) = When a brace of bullocks ambles up to the White House Monday hauling cartload of Maine potatoes for the presidents winter supply. spectators oh'd and ah'd at the thought of the long. about two miles an nour.
 But the crowd that. gathered might well have saved its sympa- thy.
 Oxen, driver, cart and potatoes were transported in a motor truck except when passing through im- portant cities.
 On the outskirts of a city, as in the case of Washington and New York, all unloaded, and the pic- turesque driver goaded his oxen down the main thoroughfare, on his publicity jaunt.
 At any rate. President Hoover won't have to go without potatoes this winter.
 A preview of the new junior senator from Louisiana was given his constituents Armistice day when Huey F. Long sprang a new trick from his well-filled bag. A high Navy official was on tha speakers stand with other digni- taries, but the governor-senator wasn't. Half an hour passed and still he was among the missing.
 Then the doors swung open and in marched the State University band, with Governor-Senator Long at It's head, Justify brandishing a drum majors baton. Later there was parade and all the officials rode in motor cars. All except Huey. who marched at the head of the band.
 Washingtonians, hearing of this, have begun wondering if he'll march to the capital from the Union station in like manner when he sees fit to assume his senatorial toga.
 With thousands of things to worry about this winter, the house of representatives is expected to devote large share of its thought to the question of where to hang a portrait of the late Speaker Nich- olas Longworth.
 A life-size oil portrait of Long, desk in the speakers room. After his death 1t was removed, to await a place in the lobby. Space on the lobby walls is at a premium.
 In order to make room for the Longworth portrait the previous speakers picture will have to be removed to less prominent spot. This will necessitate considerable shifting.
 Each state delegation Is expected to fight to the last gasp to main- tain its particular hero in his &C., customed place. And Nick, who was tactful enough to settle such arguments, won't be there.

P. Stoutenmeyer. district counsel for the bureau of reclamation. writes.

 The dam reservoir will have a capacity of 30.000. .000 acre feet. be- ing larger than the combined capa- city of all the other reservoirs con- structed by the reclamation bureau since it's beginning in 1909.
 The river carries 100000 second feetof water at it's flood and only 1900 second feet at it's low stage.
 Tn case Imeprial Valley should be flooded, the water would have be evaporated away. This would probably mean that for several years. what is now Imperial Val. ley, would be a lake. Imperial Val- ley is below sea level.

The average citi&en who goes to and from his place of employment in waterbury and when he has time to spare takes a trip along the paved highways of the state has no knowledge of the shifting of population in Waterbury the past twenty-five or thirty years.

those bales contained the pFince Of cot-
ton fibers, Saksllaridis, long-staple cot
ton, the kind grown on GeoFgta's sea
Islands, and the kind that becomes

CHEST
|. BACKS RELIEF PLAN
Offers to Furnish Workers
for Jobs Contemplated
by Two Clubs.

1ndorsing the unemployment relief
plan adopted by the Kiwanis and Co.'S
mopolitan Clubs, the Community Chest
yesterday offered to furnish workers for
the extra jobs contemplated under the
proposal.
Besides the Riwanis and Cosmopoli-
tan, ~ other clubs have Signified inten-
tons OF adopting the plan, which pro-
Woes that each club member furnish
two days of work a week for persons
not regularly employed by him. The
proposal also pledges club members to
purchase at least two article each week
not essentially indispensable and to OBJ
tain similar pledges from at least one
person not member of a service club.
Organizations afiliated with the
Community Chest, upon whose Shout
ders fall the task Of providing relief
for the unemployed, will be glad to
cooperate in every possible way with
these clubs, especially in supplying
needed man power" Herbert L. Will
lett, 1r., acting director OF the Chest,
said yesterday "A large percentage of
the people now applying for aid are
men and women who really want to
work and who do not want charity.
Some of them were contributors to the
CneSG a year ago and would much
rather work for the money necessary
to supply their wants than TO accept it
from an organization.
THE Associated Charities. Salvation
Army. Jewish Welfare Federation, Cath
Ole Charities Y M. c. A., Jewish Com
munity Center and many other organ
izations in the Chest have almost daily
calls for employment from men who
are skilled workers in many lines. I
am sure that any extra help needed
by the members of the Is service
clubs can be supplied by some of these
organizations"

PEACE IS URGED
IN CHACO COUNTRY
Neutral Nations Act Upon
Learning of Clash Between
Bolivia and Paraguay.

The neutral nations represented on
the Paraguayan-Bolivia Cancellation
Commission moved twice in rapid sue
ceSsion yesterday to maintain peace
between the two South American gov
ernmentS in the disputed Chaco coun-
try. Clashes between troops Of Para
quay and Bolivia again were reported
to Washington.
The State Department announced
that two sets of identic notes had been
dispatched to each government. one
inviting them to send representatives
to Washington for a meeting on No
vember IL to draw up and sign a pact
of non aggression in the Chaco, while
the second strongly recommended that
each government confine its troops in
the disputed territory strictly to their
own forts.
Five Nations Participate.
Participating in the dispatch Of the
Cuba. Mexico and Colombia, represent
ing the neutral members Of the con-
citation commission which has sought
in vain to settle permanently the d.
pute over ownership of the Chaco,
question which brought Paraguay and
Bolivia to the verge Of war in 1929.
The proposal for a conference look
ing to the adoption Of non-agresslon
pact results from an earlier suggestion
on the subject. Both Paraguay and
Bolivia agreed to send off1cial repre-
sentatives, but each asked that the
meeting be postponed until November.
The neutral nations readily accepted
the suggestion, and accordingly fxed
November II as the date.
Strive to Maintain Peace.
IN the meantime the commission will
strive to maintain peace between the
two governments. Immediately upon
learning that there had been fresh
encounter. the neutral governments
cabled that they looked upon such in
cidents with concern. To prevent
repetition pending the Washington
meeting, they urged each capital to
send prompt orders to their commanders
in the Chaco to confine their men to
their forts until after the meeting here.
The Chaco is a wilderness which
until a few years ago served as a salts
factory vanishing boundary for both
Paraguay and Bolivia. Neither country
wanted it and it stood for years as a
neutral zone. Then traces Of oil were
found in it. Immediately both coun-
tries laid claim and rushed troops into
the region. There have been recurrent
clashes, with dangerous international
implications ever since.
