Comfortable old gentlemen sitting
on cushioned chairs may not be able
to conceive it in any other form.
But the issue, as faced by the mil
lions of Notwithstanding those
who, for the present, are able to
secure a food supply-is an issue of
facts.
1t has become a notorious thing,
that the gentleman who represented
President Hoover before the senate
committee, Mr.. Walter Clifford, of the
Presidents Unemployment Commits
sion, admitted that he had no data
on which to base his conclusion that
there was no need for federal relief.
Butts it a fact:
That children in Maryland schools
are fainting in their seats from lack
of food?
If that is true, the local and state
relief systems have broken down
there. And the statement was made
directly before the senate committee
by a Maryland superintendent of
schools.
Much attention is being paid TO
budget balance"
Is it not about time to learn thar
budget balances after all may be fa-
cilitated in the long run by balanc-
ing of the human factors?
How can a national budget be bal
anced, when the nations children
faint from hunger?

UNION WAGES

The average of union wages is
more than double the average of non-
union wages. There are men still fool
ish enough to parrot the employers
tripe about the independence of the
non-union man. Where there is non.
unionism the only man who has any
independence is the employer. The
union man has the only true indie.
pendence. He is the only worker who
has rights. He is the only worker who
has anything to say about his wages
his hours of labor, his conditions OF
work.
Again: The average of union
wages is more than double the aver
age of non-union wages. The non
union worker has no rights, no in
dependence, no freedom-and in ad.
dition he pays high price for his
state of subserviency. How can any
man afford so high a price for such
degradation? Why are there any
non-union workers ?-Metal Polish

Mayor Hague has laid out course
which could be followed with great
benefit by state and federal govern
ments, as well as by city administra-
tions. He is protecting homes and
jobs. He is refusing to add to the
volume of unemployment. He is de-
clining to set home owners on the
streets because they cannot, at the
moment, raise the money to meet
their obligations to the city.
He realizes that prosperity will not
return until the masses of the peo-
pie have some assurance of financial
security and he has the courage to do
his part.
A good many reformers have won

of prohibition is no longer heard. 1t

1924 and 1929, when the evils of the
law were already becoming evident,
but when the crash in the stock mar

mute on the subject of prohibition

to an illegal moral issue in which the
morality is all on the other side"
That is something to be kept in
mind. Prohibition may have been as
noble in motive as Mr.. Hoover de-
clared it was, but it is nevertheless
true that not a few of its heaviest
financial hackers were not concerned
with it's nobility, if any, but with
what they thought was its beneficial
effects on profits. The true facts
about the contributions to the Anti

Olive Oil Long Popular

Olive oil, one OF our Oldest foods, Is
still one Of the most esteemed. 1t was
common food thousands of years be-
fore Columbus discovered America, and
references to 1t are made In the Old
Testament and other early literature.
The Greeks used olive Oil for food,
lighting and sacramental purposes.
Homer was not blind to its merits and
referred TO 1t In his Iliad as a luxury
OF the wealthy, priced highly for its
value In the heroic toilet. The war
riors Of Homer's day annointed them
selves with oil after the bath and, by
TIC B. O., an olive wreath was the
victor's prize In the Olympic games.

CAMPAIGN FOR MILLION
JOBS is ON

The campaign of United Effort fol
Business Recovery, which the Amer
lean Legion prefers to call the Wa
Against Depression, opened las
Monday and is now in full blast.
Backing this campaign is the
greatest mobilized civilian strength
the nation ever witnessed. There ars
on this move as leaders the American
Federation of Labor, the American
Legion, the Association of National
Advertisers, and of course the Legior
Auxiliary.
Cooperating are dozen other
other great organizations. In line are
great advertisers, more than 75C
newspapers, 800 magazines, advertis
ing men, the radio, artists, the sound
pictures, speakers-all in a united
voice which demands Work.
In Hamilton the Frank Durwin
Post of the American Legion is TAX
ing the lead with the solid backing
and cooperation of the Hamilton
Trades and Labor Council, together
with all other organizations in the
city such as the Chamber of Com
merce, retail merchants, churches
lodges, clubs, ETC. Walter S. Rowe is
chairman of the general committee
and has built up live working or
CARNATIONS, which from the reports
received, is already getting fine re-
suits.
There will be service stars for
every place that gives a job.
Can this campaign throughout the
nation for million jobs succeed ?
Of course it can succeed. When more
than FIVE million organized Americans
start for somewhere they stand good
chance of arriving. The army back
of this campaign is bigger than our
army was in France.
Can it find five million jobs +? YES
it can find that many and more. GET

Undernourished School
Children Faint at Desks

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-During
the course of long speech in the
senate in advocacy of the La Toilette
Costigan relief bill, Senator Costi-
gan read into the record a statement
made recently in Baltimore by DIR.
David e. Weglein, superintendent of
public instruction, who said that il
was not unusual for undernourished
school children to faint at their
desks.
Costigan also read a letter from
the Baltimore Family Welfare As

eight of the % Maryland counties
were there organized social agencies
and that as result of the depres-

PROTECTING HOMES AND JOBS

PROTECTING HOMES AND JOBS
Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey
City, served notice last week that
while the depression lasts, no homes
in that city will be sold for taxes,
and no municipal employees will be
dismissed or reduced in salaries.
Jersey City will not take the
homes away from its people," said
Mayor Hague.
'If the American people can de-
clare a moratorium on money owed US
by Europe, we can afford to defer the
sale of property for delinquent taxes
owed the city by our neighbors who
have not the means to pay. And this
is no time to dismiss public employees
or reduce their salaries"

Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man"
BY Mr.. MOdestus-

Consider the power of the radio: it
is electrical power.
We measure it by the watt.
1t takes TAG watts to equal one
horsepower.
A kilowatt is 1000 watts, and
equals about one and one-third H. p.
Your electricity bill is made out In
X. w. hours.
You pay so much per kilowatt for
each hour.
Incidentally, that costs about 1k
cents to produce.
Hoover Dam contracts are based on
that cost.
Now divide one Of these watts into
five parts.
Divide now that one-fifth into one
hundred parts.
Now divide that fve-hundredth
part into one million parts.
That will give you a fraction Of
one five-hundredth millionth of one
watt.
And there you have the measuring
stick for the amount of energy which
comes in over the "air" into your
radio receiver.
There it can be sfted out into
sound, or light-or what have you!
These infinitesimal Hertzian waves
| were first caught by the vibrations in
piece of crystal
Then Edison played some new
tricks with two currents running in
| vacuum tube.
The result was known as the "Edi-
son effect"
That is an electric valve, or con-
troller.
The Hertzian wave, coming in from
your antennae, passing through the
electronic tube, works the valve so as
to regulate stronger current.
That stronger current gives you an
enlargement of the HertZian wave
| message.
The speed Of light is 10000 miles
a second.
Radio waves travel 10000 miles a
second.
Electric current passes through
copper wire 10000 miles second.
These are different forms of the
same energy.
They can be changed back and
forth, into each other.
They are the means of speeding up
the slower vibrations of sound
Sound waves travel in hot summer
air only 1896 feet second.
They travel through cold water
about 5000 feet second;
Through hot iron from $4,000 tt
$4,000 feet second.
I
The most rapid travel of sound is
through glass-almost 10000 feet.
But sound is lost in long distances
and cannot be caught.
| Let the sound waves release al
electric current, through an electro
magnet.
Turn that current into Hertzial
waves.
Send those Hertzian vibrations il
every direction at 10000 miles {
second.
Caught by an electronic tube, in {
speeding patrol car down the high
way
The message outstrips the fleeing
bank robbers burning gas.
And so-the power in your radio
receiving set
Is some multiple of one-fve-hun
dred- -millionth of one watt.
1t depends upon how many kilo
watts are used in the sending station
But that small fraction can be used
by stepping up through several elec
tronic tubes, so that it controls &

Here and There

BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Judge Andrew r. Kelley, in his
interesting comments on things
dramatic in yesterdays Times,
wonders if the world is losing
it's sense OF humor.
Judge Kellev is not the only
one to wrinkle a puzzled brow
over the type OF smart-crackery
which now serves for humor.
Take that Bert Lahr act Sat
urday night over NB.C. for in
stance. We were all steamed up
to enjoy Is or 20 minutes of
hilarious funning. We knew it
had to be funny, for the bales
of advance ballyhoo told us Bert
was funnier on the air than he
was on the stage.
What happened? Maybe you
liked the act, but frankly this
writer didn't. 1t seemed that
Bert was Straining at gnat only
to swallow a camel-or a Lucky
