M mutt, LESLIE
WILL CONFER ON
NEEDY RELIEF
Meeting Will Be Held at
StatehouSe Tuesday;
Deny Other Matters Up.

Governor-Elect Paul v. McNutt
will confer with Governor Harry G.
Leslie on state unemployment relief
at the statehouse Tuesday.
Arrangements for the meeting
we're made by Leslie. who announced
that it is to discuss future relief, I'M
der the NIcNutt administration.
Leslie created a statewide organ
ization for relief, with DR.. John H.
Hewitt as full-time director.
Declaring that unemployment re-
lief is one of the greatest problems
facing the new administration.
Leslie said he wanted to explain
what has been done and urge con-
tinuance of the program.
Deny Other Subjects
He denied that other matters will
be taken up with the Governor
elect, although he indicated that he
would let McNutt name a successor
to Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertson on the public service COM
mission.
Cuthbertson has resigned, eff
fective Dec. /.
Leslie, commenting on McNutt's
announced intention to change the
entire commission personnel, de-
clared:
Il am not going to make an APP
pointment and sacrifice some one to
the chopping block"
May Fight for Young
1t is considered likely that Les
lie will make an effort to save at
least one commissioner. That is
Ralph Young, who was appointed to
succeed Frank Singleton.
Leslie and Young have been per-
sonal friends and the commissioner
is a constant adviser on admins
tration affairs. His term of office
does mot expire until 1886.

Ing the treaty into being.
I have great hope that the
treaty will be ratified before con-
gress adjourns in March" said
Charles P. Craig, director of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Underwater
Association, who was described last
week by an opposing witness as
the paid propaganda who put the
treaty over on the people"
Craig would not reveal what ar
gumentS would be presented next
week when his affirmative witnesses
go before the Borah subcommittee
to rebut the testimony with which
the opponents last week placed
treaty advocates on the defensive.
All arguments against the treaty
will be taken care of said Craig.
when asked how he intended to
answer statements that:
No appreciate saving in freight
rates on grail. can be ACCOMPLISHED
by the waterway, since grain is now
ceing moved from Duluth to Mon
treal for less than cents a bushel.
Only one-tenth of the Great
Lakes freight traffic possibly could
be available for export.
For one buShel of American
wheat, there are ten bushels of
Canadian wheat shipped over the
Great Lakes for export, and Canada
therefore, would get lions share
of any benefits that might accrue
through ship canal.
Craig admitted that if opponents
persist and a stubborn fight is made
against the treaty, there is little
chance for ratification in the short
session.

RADIUM PlERCES STEEL
Pictures Are Taken to Ferret Out
Cracks and Flaws.
By Science Service


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-Using
a diminutive capsule of radium salt
instead of an elaborate X-ray cam
era, engineers now take pictures
through steel as much as ten inches
thick in search of threatening
cracks and flaws.
With this recently developed tech
nique, castings for big guns of the
United States navy are made to re-
veal their weakness before they can
be fired disastrously, and electric
YIELDS are tested without actually
breaking the joints.
These are some of the applica-
tons of testing with gamma rays
of radium described before the
Franklin institute by DR.. Gilbert E.
Doan of Lehigh university, Bethle-
hem, Pa. DR.. Doan was active in
research which developed these
methods.

NEW ROAD REACHES
MILE-HIGH ELEVATION
North Carolina Highway Believed
TalIest East of Rockies.

RU science q " zee
BEYSCN CITY, N. c., Nov. 26.-
AID elevation of almost mile is
reached on new highway built in
the Great Smoky National park
near here by the North Carolina
state highway commission.
The exact height reached is 5,044
feet above sea, level, and engineers
believe this to be the highest point
on a state highway system east
of the Rockies. 1t was pointed out
that roads leading to the SUBMITS
of Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Washington
reach greater elevations, but these
do not belong to state highway sys-
TENS.
The new road crosses the rugged
Great Smoky area, most of which
is above 1000 feet with many peaks
close to $500 feet. In spite of the
broken character of the country, a
standard highway has been built on
the greater part Of which speed of
forty-five miles an hour can be
maintained in safety.

against the stone sounded to me
as laughter in the street must
sound to an imprisoned man.
Rain began to fall and I hurried
toward South Green street.
1t took me more than an hour
locate the lodging house. 1t was
an old loft building, identical
with the rest in the dark street.
Drunken men in overalls
spraying on the steps singing
parodies Of hymns made me look
closer at the building, and I saw
in a dim light man sitting at
small desk beside the door.
AS I entered the smell of I'M
washed bodies struck me like a
slap across the face. Vaguely out
lined in the dark I saw men
sleeping on planks and benches.
Stockinged feet stuck out in all
directions. Men we're curled up
on the floor.
I sat down at the desk and the
brusque doorkeeper asked who I
was, what I did, my age, and
where was going. He then gave
me slip of paper.
This entities you to one more
night. And then get going out of
town" I did not answer. He
flashed a searchlight at door in
a corner of the room.
GO downstairs and you'll find
place to Sleep" I followed the
light to the door. Narrow stairs
led down whiteWashed walls to
the cellar.
Park benches stood in rows.
Nearly all of them were occupied
by fully dressed men. In the light
OF the single bulb in the rear of
the room they looked like victims
OF a plague.
1T was like being in a temporary
Il morgue, where by some freak
the dead still moaned, twisted and
Squlrmed in a lethal aftermath of
life. I walked among the benches
looking for an empty one.

the scene, I would have laughed
aloud. Hundreds of men came into
the room. They all wore hats and
shoes and old-fashioned white
nightgowns. Their clothes, fumi-
gated while they slept hung from
racks that were being trundled
into the basement. A thought
ran throught my mind: They
look like whitewashed characters
out of The Green Pastures"
I watched the men dress. Big
men, foreign men; mechanics and
truck drivers. Old men, like
rusted machines, dressed with
painful slowness. Young boys
quickly slipped into their clothes
and gave their faces a perfunctory
bath at the crowded lavatory.
I looked at thcir faces just as
they looked at mine. In all of
them was a dazed dullness.
MOST of the men were under
AVA 40, many of them were not
20.
I was smoking a cigaret when
a Negro said: Save me drag,
buddy"
I handed him my pack of to-
bacco and he rolled his own. Five
other fellows eyed him and asked
if I could spare little tobacco.
Come on and get it," a voice
cried, and we punched up at the
door to the stairway. At the end
of two flights we entered a din
ing hall.
The tables were wood, scrubbed
almost white. AS we came into
the room line was formed and
we filed by a counter where men
passed cut food.
I was handed al enamel bowl
full of oatmeal; another man
dropped two slices of bread into
the bowl. A small plate contain
ing crushed prunes was given to
me. The last thing I received
was a cup of coffee.
AS got it I realized why the
lodging houses were called gar
bage cans. Most of the food and
coffee was being ladled out of
bright metal garbage containers.
In front of me at my table was
small man with a stiff white
collar. He wolfed his food and
was through before the rest had
finished oatmeal.
He asked for more and was
handed three extra slices of bread.
He came back with his coffee cup
and the news, you can get all
the coffee you want" -Four men
had their cups ref1lled.
THE food was good. I didn't
Il eat the bread, but handed it
to the man whose hunger fasci-
mated me. He thanked me with a
glance and went on eating.
Outside, drizzling rain fell. I
stood in it and watched bread
line that stretched around the
corner to form u, it's end in an
other block.
At the head of the first line
was an Indian. He wore a bright
blanket coat and ccnicaI SOM
brero. He smiled and joked with
the officials who examined tickets
as the men entered the building.
The faces of the men in the
lines could have been found in
any shop or office. Young men
in neatly pressed clothes; elderly
men in clean linen. Laborers in
overalls and aliens still wearing
vestigeS of old country garments.
I walked toward West Madison
street to see what Sunday had to
offer to an unemployed man.
Next: A personally escorted
tour of Chicago's searny side.

Cuba'S traditional immigration,

In 1902, departures exceeded ar
