Bernard and Merlin, the best oi the French youths, are under 20. They are serious candidates for Frances Davis Cup team.
 Of course, the invading Britons played on d strange and perhaps an unusually fast wooden surface, but they were overconfident, and lack of practice was evident. Re- sE.uffling of British Davis Cup forces may result, particularly in the doubles lineup.

IOWA GRIDDER IN THIRD
 EFFORT TO END CAREER

IOWA CITY, la, April 27. - Marcus Magnussen is going to try, try and try again to complete his varsity football competition.
 One of the leading centers in the Big Ten in the season of 1929, playing with the University of Iowa eleven, Magnussen twive has been baked in his effort to play his third season.
 Ineligibility in the fall of 1880 and a fractured leg at the start oi the 1881 season kept Magnus- : sen out of those campaigns.

100000 Jobs in 3ODays"
While the Government Talks the Legion Acts

What the Administration steadily refused do the
American Legion sets out to do
Jobs for 100000 obe within 80 daysths the goal Of
the Legion's drive
The Legion has been reinforced by the American Federation
Of Labor has formed job getting committees in 5000 cities
and towns These committees will direct the activities of 00
Legion posts and 10000 local labor unions.
With the cooperation of the public the Legion will achieve
the mark it has set for itself.
None doubt that
The Legons smashing offensive against unemployment is
in striking contrast to the Administrations policy Of doing
nothing.
It will help-help great dealtoward the return Of
better times
However if 100000 jobs filled there will
main at least 100000 workers WITHOUT jobs.
Private initiative cannot give those the employment
they seek.
The only agency that find employment them-di-
recty indirecty-s the Federal Government
It can do this in two ways
Either way would make tremendous the unemploy-
ment problem
The two combined would END the problem.
One remedy would be the prohibition laws
ito work in the brewing and allied industries and provide
billion dollars of which provided BY
taxing individuals and business.
It is the logical for the Countrys ills need
less to say will NOT be adopted by the Government
present constituted.
The other remedy vebiondolar prosperity bond issue
to be used Immediately in the construction of public works
Such would put millions of work on roads
bridges schoohoues public buildings and river and harbor
improvements with millions busy providing materials in
factories, quarries, mines and steel mills.
This remedy could be adopted by the Government as at pres
{, ent constituted.
1t would take of the that the Legions drive no
matter how successful will not reach.
It would end boarding, end fear and PUT THE COUNTRY
ON ITS FEET. .

It is already successful operation nine of our States and

It is nonparsan measure, supported by Republican Sec

to stabilize the natives. And
when observing the lazy, stupid
Arabs, it is hard to believe
that only 100 years back they
kept the civilized world in con-
slant terror and dominated the
whole Mediterranean region.
AlgierS is superb in scenery
and views. From the sea, it ap-
pears succession of dazzling
white terraces. Each house is
set in gardens abounding with
luxuriant foliage and the effect
is enchanting. The French Sec
ton is built beside the water,
the native section clings to the
steep hills and both quarters
are crowned by the citadel,
which rises some 400 feet above
sea level.
The famous Algerian suburb,
Mustapha Superieur, is back of
the city to the east and south.
Here are the grand hotels and
fine villas and the lovely sum-
mer palace of the governor gen.
eral.
Directly the visitor lands, the
first thing noticed is the splen-
did Boulevard de la Republique,
a waterfront drive with support

Meeting with the landing stages.

Many wise and fortunate
people manage to spend their
winters in AlgierS. Some have
been attracted to it after visit

on a cruise. Others go there
as the guests of friends with
villas there. But few just give
AlgierS a curSory glance and
then sail away without any fur

is a sparkling city offering
much to see and to do, a grand
antidote to a northern winter
and all that goes with it.

In a sentence, Speaker
Garner thus characteriZes
the Presidents message re-
questing autOcratic power
in the reorganization Of gov
ernment and sent to Con-
gress in the third year of
his regime only after the
Demo cratic House had
started action. Aside from
the transparent politics In
the all too tardy remem-
brance Of a broken pledge,
the plan itself makes for a
still greater concentration
of power in the hands OF
the Executive.
The proposal to put all
public works under an ad'
ministrator named by the
President, and amenable to
him, will never have the
support of Congress-and
should not have. The House
with a program of its own
will proceed as though the
message had not been sent.
No President in history has
fallen back on commissions

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

IT'S QUITE LIKELY THEY
HAVEN'T, BUT IT'S TRUE.
1 know three different couples
who couldn't have married If
the girls hadn't been willing to
put their shoulders to the
wheel and help; and I'm in the
same boat myself, so that makes
four. If I'd known 1 would
be fired for marrying, there
wouldn't have been any mar
riage, because my husband was
only making a very small sal
ary-$31 week. I get $23, so
we can live fairly we'll and save
a little. Maybe we COULD
have got along, in some pig
hole, on his salary, but pow
erty and detection don't seem
to me to be much of basis
for a happy marriage-not
when there is anything you
can do to avoid them.
I say, thank goodness that
there are O good many con-
Germs that realize this situa-
ton, and won't fire their girls
if they marry.
They Just Can't
All three of my friends, and
myself, would like to stay at
home and raise families if we
could; but we can't-yet. Not
till we save a little more.
IT MAY NOT BE TRUE
THAT TWO PEOPLE CAN
LIVE AS CHEAPLY AS ONE.
BUT TT CERTAINLY IS TRUE
THAT TWO CAN LIVE To-
GETHER CHEAPER THAN
THEY CAN LIVE APART.
Keeping folks from marry
ing won't make any more jobs,
either, because if they can't
marry they still have to eat,
so they'll keep right on hang
ing onto the jobs they have.
I fail to see where being mar
ried should make any differ.
ence in whether a woman works
or not.
A couple love each other, and
they want to be together, like
Nature meant they should. But
there isn't enough money, and
so they go on and on-and
some day the loneliness gets
them. They don't mean to do
wrong. To them 1t is as sacred
as marriage. But gradually that
sort of a secret affair loses
it's sacredneSs; and by the time
they can marry, everything is
spoiled.
There's more than one side
to this question. and if these
people who complain about
''two envelope families" would
face facts, they might be sur
prised.
Anyway, I'll gamble that nine
out of ten of these single girls,
who are so indignant about us
wives working. would do the
same thing if they fell in love
and were confronted with the
same situation! THEY
WOULDN'T WANT TO WAIT
YEARS APART, EITHER!

chorus. But now comes Marta,
with another angle.
TITS all right to yell against
the married woman working"
says she, BUT HOW ABOUT
THE GIRL WHO CAN'T GET
MARRIED AT ALL UNLESS
SHE DOES WORK?"
There are thousands of girls
in that fix, and I'm one of
them. What are we to do?
Wait for years and years until
we gradually save up enough
to make our start? If We do
that, we'll be grayheaded when
we hit the altar. Or shall we
make our start now, working
side by side as our pioneer
fathers and mothers did?"
A Great Problem
It's a fine letter on grim
problem. What's your answer?
Dear Miss Robinson:
These single girls-and men
who do so much bowling
about married women who
work, give me a pain. They
do a lot of yawping about
married women hogging all
the jobs"
BUT I WONDER IF THEY
EVER STOP TO THINK THAT
IF MARRIED WOMEN WE'RE
THROWN OUT OF THE BUSI-
NESS AND PROFESSIONAL
WORLD, THERE WOULD BE
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
COULDN'T GET MARRIED?

An Amazing
Situation

Meanwhile Postmaster
General Brown is working
feverishly to suppress the
anti-Hoover sentiment in his
party, and is having trouble
even in. his own State of
Ohio. He owns the State Or
ganization. This organiza-
tion appoints an Advisory
Committee; and this Ad-
visory Committee, hand
picked by Brown, endorses
the President for renomina-
tion. Not satisfied with
this, the busy Mr.. Brown
modestly proposes that he
be permitted to handrpick
the delegates to the Conven-
tion, and he is having trou-
BILE about that. It will be
observed that all these plans
utterly ignore the rank and
file of the party in Ohio.
The inevitable conclusion
is that even in Mr.. Browns
own State it is considered
dangerous to permit the
operation of the free will
of the rank and file of the
Republican Party on the re-
nomination of Mr.. Hoover.
If the rank and file cannot

Administration
Claims Everything

VAGAnAS GNVA VAAAS
Incredible as it may seem
there is a persistent effort
to show that the Federal Re-
serve Act was the fruit Of
Republican craftsmanship.
Even historians" have
been engaged to give dig
nifty to that miserable fabri-
cation.
The proof that it is a Re-
publican measure is that
every Republican in the Sen
ate with the exception of
one or two voted to kill it.
And now the Administra-
tion is to be credited with
the Glass-Steagall bill = if
mere "guts'' can bring it
about.
Perhaps the hour has
about struck to end the
"recess to politics. There
has been no recess on the
part of the Administration
which proposes to claim
everything. Those speeches
on Hoover 's-or was it lin

warning enough. There is

banker but only a professor
and statesman, he naturally
did not know.
Wilson heard them cour-
teously and in silence. At
length the spokesman made
a protest against one fea-
ture of the bill. Wilson
seemed interested. T h e
others now joined in pounc-
ing upon that one phase.
Finally they agreed that the
measure would not be so bad
but for that feature-but
that made the bill impossi-

Gentlemen, have you
read the bill?" he asked.
They assured him they =
had slept with it.
He summoned a clerk,
asked for a copy of the bill,
passed it to the spokesman
and said: "Point out this
feature to me. -
The banker turned and
turned the pages, getting
redder every second-it~ was
not there.
Now, gentlemen" said
Wilson, that is the trouble.
You represent in q large
sense the great commercial
interests of a great section
and we are trying to serve
you; but a great bank in

to seize upon the Democratic
program and take credit for
the Administration is the at
tempt, properly resented by
Senator Robinson of Arkan-
sas, to credit the Administra-
ton with the Glass-Steagall
bank bill. He named dates,
names and occasions to prove
that the Administration, un-
til very recently, was oppos-
ing the features of the bill
now being praised. Only
three weeks ago both Mr..
Mellon, "greatest Secretary
of the Treasury since Hamil-
ton, " and Ogden Mills Gem
phatically and unqualifiedly
disapproved."
The bankers, too. now en-
tirely satisfied, until but the
other day were clamoring for
the defeat of the Glass plan;
and there was much editorial
izing about the pathos Of the
decline in judgment Of the
Virginia Senator after he
had rendered distinguished
service in the framing Of the
Federal Reserve act.
These bankers convent
emily forget that they were
opposed to the Federal Re-
serve act as well; that in
their national convention at
Boston they all but, mobbed
a man who spoke in favor Of
it; and the Republican Sena-
tors, with one or two excep-
tions, all voted against it.
This is history-the record.
The Record
Up-to-Date
Senator Glass brings the
record up to date in a
speech in the Senate:
Some bankers appear to
feel it a personal affront
that we have not permitted
them to write the bill. Two
of them sent hundreds of
kilograms from one end of
the country to the other in
a precipitate effort to kill
the so-called Glass Bill. .
At the time the Federal
Reserve Act was pending the
late Senator Kern, on re-
quest, accompanied three In
diana bankers to the White
House that they might point
out to President Wilson the
fatal defects in the measure.
