lead is deadly poison, which, when
it enters the blood, destroys the abil-

BOY JAILED FOR
SELLING GUM TO
AID BLIND DAD
and Cops
Unite to Starve
Family
tBy Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-For "a years I
worked as painter. Five years ago,
as a result of the work, I got sick
and then became blind.
My daughter of IA and son Of 10
were forced to leave school to sup
port the house. My youngest son was
sick with a double heart murmer.
Up to 1882 my children brought in
an income of SIT to $18 a week. My
daughter got married and left the
house, and my boy lost his job as a
Western Union messenger, after
working there for four years. My
smallest boy, who was IA, tried to
help the house by shining shoes, sell
ling newspapers, and selling gum.
On July 3, 1892, he got arrested in
New York for selling gum, and was
put under parole for two weeks.
No New Applications.
I went down to the trial and asked
the judge to give me bread for me
and my children so my son wouldn't
have to sell gum. The judge sent
me to P.S. $50 in Brownsville I
went there, and they said it was out
of their district, and sent me to the
73rd precinct There they told me
that they are not taking any new
applications.
I went to the police lieutenant and
asked him what I should do. He
told me to continue sending my child
to sell gum and the police wouldn't
"eat him up" On the first Of Aug
ust my children hadn't had anything
to eat for two days so my boy bor-
rowed a dollar and bought two boxes
of gum AS soon as he went out he
was arrested and locked up.
Sacred Laws.
On August End was the trial be-
fore Judge Young in Childran's
Court. My boy told the judge he
had nothing to eat for two days and
he didn't want his father to go and
beg. The judges decision was to
send my boy to Jail for eight days.
I tried to appeal to the judge, ex-
planning everything, but the judge
said he had broken the sacred laws
of the United States.
I put up a fight so the court po-
lice knocked me down (even though
I was blind, wiped the floor with
me, handcuffed me, and threw me
out into the hall. I can't do any
thing alone, but 1 want the other
workers to know through the Daily
Worker who their real enemies are,
especial since it's before election and
the same judges that sentenced my
boy are running again.
Also I went to the Democratic
Club on Eastern Parkway and asked
for help. Their answer was that if
he was racketeer or a gangster
they could get him out, but because
he was an honest working boy they
couldn't help him. The captain of
the 22nd assembly district Demo
craft was the one who told me, right
in front of all present in the club
room.
My name is Lyman Davis, and my
address is 26 Herzel ST., Brooklyn.

WALL ST. HUNGER PROGRAM
(Tsv a Worker Corresnondent

The Wall Street hunger program
is being pushed by the Wall Street
brokerage firm of Theodore Prince of
100 Broadway. The white collar
workers have a working day of from
9 to 7, and no money is paid for over
time. once in every six weeks the
workers are compelled to go with
out pay. When they work they
don't get very much, the runners
getting $12 week, the clerks SIS and
the typists $18.

the passage of the gas, but instead give
1t a more complicated route Of escape
so that 1t can complete a lot Of its eX-
pansion before reaching the open air
behind the car.
Recently engineers have discovered
that 1t really isn't necessary TO make
the gases go through maze and that
II the exhaust passage is direct, but
surrounded with compartments or space
into which the outer fringes OF the gases
can expand, the exhaust will be reason
ably quiet. This discovery has made it
possible to eliminate some of the back
pressure which made the conventional
muff1er an objection from the efficiency
standpoint.
Incidentally. when service men have
given up hope of locating some of those
strange and Objectionable noises so
often heard in the car, suggest to them
inspection Of the muffier. On one
womanS car what sounded like tim
ing gear noise turned out to be a loose
muffier A broken plate in a muffler
will give a variety OF troubles. not the
least of which is the possibility OF
blocking the passage of gas so as To
limit the speed OF the car.

A New Marine Engine.

The steam engine has recently un-
dergone an improvement for which
it is claimed an economy Of 80 per
cent in the amount of fuel used. It's
design takes advantage Of the high ef-
ficiencies of the high-speed non-con-
densing reciprocating engine for the
high-pressure end of the steam, then
exhaust into a high-speed low-pres-
sure turbine. and to transmit the power
from each engine to a separate propel-
Ter shaft. and run the propeller at its
most efficient speed.
The combination as designed Is
claimed as the most economical steam
unit yet produced, the reduction in
weight of machinery, the reduction in
machinery space, and the lesser guam
tity of bunker coal necessary, repre-
senting an additional carrying capacity
for the same displacement.
Tests, it is said, have proven the
claims made and, in the aggregate, the
economies are considerable. It is hoped
that this invention will revive the tramp
steamer feet and at the same time as
sist the coal mining industry.
