WORLDS JOBLESS
PUT AT 100000
German Official BIames De-
preston on Reparations
and Trade Barriers.

Estimating the world unemployment
at 100000, and describing trade bar
riers and reparations payments as re-
sponsible for the worldwide business
depre:Dion, DR.. Ernest Wageman. d.
rector of the German federal ONCE Of
statistics, Is prepared to submit o re-
port calling for new economic under
standing among world business interests
to harmonic the various national
economic systems, at the forthcoming
congress of the International Chamber
Of Commerce.
Measured by percentage Of unem-
ployment, by production and by ma
tional income" DR.. Wageman says, "the
present crisis is by far the most serious
Of the last 100 years" Unless new
world system Of economies Is worked
out, the German sees no guarantees
against conditions Of the same sort
again arising
THE combination Of systems Of cur
rency resulting from the fairly general
acceptance of the gold standard" Is
cited by DR.. Wageman as "the most
magnificent example of economic CO.
operation in the world" On the con-
trary, he points out that ''the Russian
dumping of exports Is a drastic proof
of the disastrous effect which can be
completely foreign to world economy,
and this despite the fact that the Rus
sian goods constitute only III per cent
Of the world trade total.
Discusses Tariff.
Under present conditions, however, the
effectiveness of the gold standards sys-
tenn is being hurt, he says, because the
gold is becoming conferred in Paris and
e.. hn
States as principal creditor powers,
while in the debtor countries, the rates
of interest are such as to become un-
tenable in the long run.
| Discussing the question Of tarid, DR..
| Wageman recalls that in former days,
when Great Britain was the hub Of
export capital, the natfcn chung TO free
trade, and 1t was possible TO repay
Great Britain in goods.
/ Now, he SAYS, America has become
the principal creditor nation with high
| tariffs that are being made still higher.
She has thereby reached stage OF
development which is full OF contradic-
| tons both from the international and
American standpoints," Is his comment,
"and has thus greatly contributed to
the dificulty in the way Of movement
OF goods and capital"
Report to Hit Double Taxation
The higher the customs barriers, he
adds, the greater and more urgent is
the necessity for a settlement Of inter-
national Indebtedness purely by money
transfers. This, he argues, Is tncreaS-
| ingly dificult with the accumulation OF
gold in a few great centers.
Another report to be presented TO
the congress will urge abolition OF
double taxation upon commercial and
industrial establishments operating in
more than one country.
| The committee which prepared this
report recommends that a multilateral
convention CT agreement for all coun-
tries, covering this question, be con-
cluded as soon as feasible.

SILVER SPRING, Md, April 81
Time was when policemen here were
filed with an immense pride-a pride
justified by achievement. For were they
not the greatest checker players in the
community? For miles they were fear
I'd and respected by checker combatantS,
and the police station was favorite
haunt for these who would pit their
skill against the minions Of the law.
Now all this Is ended. Their glory Is
a thing of the past. No more does the
police station resound to the triumphant
cry CT an officer as he vanquishes a too
hopeful aspirant for fame. Depression
and gloom fill the air.
The cause?
A small thing-just q few words
written on slip Of paper and tackled
on the bulletin board. 1t reads:
ITO all police in this station:
There is to be no checker playing In
this office at any time.
by order Of A. A. Moxley, chief Of
police"

TRICK PLAYS

UNIVERSITY, Va. Nov. II.
"Will the new-fOund strength
of the Virginia football team
be sufficient to win from
North Carolina in Chapel Hill
on Thanksgiving?"
This is the question that is be-
ing asked by the followers of the
Cavaliers, those who saw the
thrilling offense against V. P. I.
and those who have only heard
or read accounts of the magnifi-
cent play of the Virginians.
Not in years has Virginia gone
on the field with an attack so
we'll balanced as that used against
v. P. I. There were off-tackle
thrusts, line smashes, end runs
and forward passes. There were
trick plays, a modified "Statue
of Liberty" on which Ward Brewer
got away for a long one and the
revival of an ancient device in
which Herbert Bryant, former
fullback, swung out of his guard
position and went around right
end for 20 yards.
Superb defensive play on the
part of three Tech linemen,
Harry Stark. Gene Hite and
Capt. Gene Brown did more than
their share IN preventing a Vir'
ginia score. Three times a trick
of fate robbed the Cavaliers of
a first down inside Techs 10,
yard line, once a tumble. once
penalty that called back IS,
yard run, and once the end of
the half.

DUE
TOCRUDE
PLAYERS
BY BOB ZUPPKE
Illinois Coach

The kickoff, in my opinion, Is
not the most dangerous play IN
football" and I doubt if the sug-
gestion to abolish it finds. much
support.
The truth is that players are in
jured under all kinds OF condl-
tions and chance seems to play a
big part in accidents. have seen
many men go through hard games
without a scratch only to be IN
jured in dummy" scrimmage
when somebody stepped on their
feet.
Certainly the kickoff is one OF
the most interesting and spectacu-
lar things in the game. Players
and spectators feel that anything
may happen which starts the
game with an open play.
Handle Ball Safely
The team which receives the
kickoff must handle it safely, for
the ball is free and the kicking
side may recover it. This is a
point about which even good
teams are sometimes hazy. In
the Notre Dame-Army game in
Chicago last year some of the
Army players stood around and
permitted the Irish to drop on
the ball which they had kicked
off.
Some coaches encourage all
players to run down under the
kickoff, but the usual plan is to
have the safety man play back
in order to assure protection II
the opposing team returns the
kickoff with punt or the receiv'
ing back breaks through.
The kickoff must be high, SO
that the kicking team may get
down the field under it. If it is
low, it should have distance
enough to carry over the goal line.
AwkwardneSS Cause Hurts
The argument to abolish the
kickoff is that the defensive team
strives to get together in a
wedge" formation to interfere
for the receiver, and this is dan.
gerous.
Nine out of ten times the eff,
fort, to form a wedge" which is
perhaps hardly the correct term,
is unsuccessful.
