r AGREE with Not an Old Maid
i in her article yesterday. l think
she has the right idea about married
women working unnecessarily, while
needier people are out Of work. Very
little can be done about it because
usually these women have strong
political backing.
Needier girls find themselves
stranded because they haven't the
pull" to obtain positions. Especial
ly is this true of the beginning
school teacher, who has no expert
ence and very often little pull"
I think something ought to be
done about this, and soon.

WOULD suggest that the county
Il treasurer receive weekly OF
monthly payment for taxes on real
estate, to prevent taxes from be-
coming delinquent. 1t would benefit
the county treasury and also save
the taxpayers a large sum in collect
ing delinquent taxes.
Further, when the agent OF a
corporation calls for tax duplicates
personal property duplicates are not
given to him at the same time
causing said corporation delinquent
taxes for personal property.

A MOTHER entry for the Squawk-
IA ers Column:
-Four millions unemployed in
Germany!
Five millions on the dole in Eng
land
Unemployed riot in Belfast!
Now what | want is for some wise
guy to get up on the rostrum and
tell all the funny people why it is
that these things can happen in
European countries who do not have
Hoover for president, and who do
not have prohibition.

r AM a reader of The Times and
Il have been for many years, and
/ like the way it goes to the front
for the laboring class. What puz-
zles me is what has become of the
five-day week plan that President
Hoover advocated? The railroads
were supposed to adopt the flve-day
week Aug. /. Now nothing is said
or done about it.
Some of the men make twenty-SiS
days a month, while other fur
Laughed men walk the streets, look
} ing for whatever they can get. ]
think that it is no more than right
to divide the time with other men
and help the unemployment situa-
ton.
Now could you give me some light
on the matter of what the railroads
are doing, or are they, like Herbert
Hoover, forgetting the jobless en-
tirely?

GROSS negligence on the part OF
~ our police is very much in
evidence when one sees the large
number of children roaming our
streets at night. Any night in the
week one can see tots from to 13
running wild in the downtown dis
trict.
In front of WasSon's last night
five were gathered in a dice game
Three were soliciting money in
front of the Claypool. At the cor
ner of Washington and Capitol at
least six were in a free-for-all fight
This not only happens one night,
but every night in the week.
am told by merchants and bust
ness men that this situation is be-
coming alarming, since many of
these boys are breaking into build
ings and glass show cases and
stealing auto accessories. Surely,
there must be a law to curb such
q disgrace to our city.
Unless steps are taken. these
youngsters eventually will become
criminals. Let's stop this dis
graceful condition.
