CHILDHOOD POVERTY EXPLAINS FATHER COX'S
 ZEAL FOR JOBLESS, MOTHER REVEALS Husband Of Work, She In Sewing To Support Family
BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA SerySoe Writer

kCopyrieht, 1882 NEA Service Incl
 Pittsburg, Jan 21-Father James R. Cox, the crusading Irish priest who has made himself national figure with his armies of jobless men, may be a hero to the thous- ands who follow his banner, but he ts more than that to a little gray haired Irish woman here.
 She is Mrs Julia Cox, of Pitts- burg, his mother-and behind this lies the secret of his zeal for the unemployed.
 He has always been interested In the jobless," Mrs Cox says. II guess it goes back for long time back to 90 or 40 years ago when his father was out of work much of the time and took in sewing to support the children. I didn't take in washing and ironing, but would have had 1t been neces- tary."
 The story that had been 40 years In the making reached It's climax the day when the stocky and ruddy- faced Irish priest massed his job less thousands in front of the cap : itol at Washington and with this climax came the most thrilling moment in her life.
 Mrs Cox described 1t as such as this reporter stood beside her. high up on the great stone steps of the capitol, looking down on the acres of upturned faces as the army" cheered the leader with a great, throaty foar.
 With misty eyes contra dicted by . smile of happiness, she looked down upon the scene and murmur- ed to herself: My boy. Jimmy .... my boy"
 But folks weren't supposed to hear that. In conversation she all ways refers to him as Father. Those were merely words of mother nuging to herself--of mother looking backward across the span of 40 years to little boy in Pitts burg.
 She might have been thinking. too, about both of her boys--one of whom was educated for the priesthood and the other as a doc tor. The latter, Dr Earl Cox, of PittsburE, stood beside her. There is a third child, Mrs Emma Dwyer.
 'He"-she said, referring to Father Cox-"wasn't bad boy, l guess he wasn't sissy boy, either. He was, guess, just about what you would call a regular sort of boy, full of mischief at times but . pretty good boy at that"
 The woman who had borne the

time he was working for the ex- press company and when he was working in the postofhce."
 Finally, his opportunity came. He went to a seminary to study. Twenty years ago he was ordained triumph at last.
 The World war took him to France. For IS months he was chaplain of base hospital at An gers. over there, he often saw his brother-who had become 8 doctor and was attached to an ambulance unit.
 In the army he learned men learned how to talk to them, how to handle them. He came back to Pittsburg and became pastor of old St Patrick's church, which Hes close to the rim of Pittsburg's downtown triangle. His flock. com posed largely of men who earned their daily bread by the sweat of their brow, grew as he pitched in- to his chosen work-work upon which his heart had rested since he was boy of seven.
 The era of postwar prosperity faded and depression closed in. With it jobs began to vanish.
 But the boy whose mother had taken in sewing for living dur ing the jobless periods of her rivet- maker husband 40 years before was not the kind to sit supinely by with no emotion except pity. He rose to meet the occasion with dynamic energy. He became one of the busiest men in Pittsburg. as sought support for relief with the newspapers, with the radio, with every agency at his command. He formed soup kitchens to feed the hungry, he became mayor" of "Shantytown," those rows of dilap- dated and windswept huts where Pittsburg's poor live.
 Several weeks ago, convinced that something could be done if congress were brought face to face with the plight of the cold and the hungry. Father Cox sounded call for volunteers for his "army." Job less men of all kinds-machinists. truck drivers, bookkeepers, bakers. pattern makers, bricklayers, shoe clerks. day laborers. accountants- demonstration the capital ever saw.
 More recently came his mass meeting of 50.000 unemployed in Pittsburgs stadium which may he the start of a new movement in American politics as plans were laid for Q "jobless party" in the ap- preaching presidential campaign.

An unusual thing occurred at Wethersfield when the potato blight caused a rot on tomatoes. This has rarely been seen in this state since 1t was first recorded in 1889.
 The examinations of plant speci- mems constitutes an important serv- ice of the station, for it places be- fore the farmer the means to help him out of his plant disease trou- bles. In addition to. these labora- tory studies, staff members visit fields, gardens, and greenhouses to observe conditions there.

When he was 2, took the children to a Catholic school. We weren't so very prosperous in those days; remember the priest said my three children looked like orphans. .u
 "He liked it there. When he came home that afternoon he said to me, 'Mom, want to be a priest He was only seven years old then, but that ambition never left him.

hero of thousands of jobless men, nursed him through the measles made him wash behind his ears when he couldn't see any sense in that sort of thing, spanked him, loved him and taken in sewing to provide for him, went on.
 Sure, he was full of mischief and what healthy Irish boy isn't? have to laugh when I recall how he used to try to sleep without his night clothes on just to tease his brother, Earl--and Earl. who d. ways wore night clothes, didn't like the idea.

 Rev Cox's father, now very aged, still lives in Pittsburg, but is no longer able to work at his trade as 0 rivet maker.
 "Of course, we're Catholics" Mrs Cox went OH. but Father Cox's father was Protestant. All his family was, for that matter. All my family were Catholics, but we had never had priest in the family.

taken in them. Not so full and
baggy as they used to be.
An increasing number of men
seem to feel that they stand a
better chance of doing a hole in
one if they wear slackS. Francis
Ouimet, Witty Cox and Billy Burke
have joined up with this faction.
New Stacks Comfortable
And the new Stacks are COM
Portable. Buckles at the side so
that you can adjust them exactly
right. Plain bottoms for you to
turn up to just the length you
want. Ankle length, as a rule, the
way the prince of Wales wears his.
The new sweaters are a mighty
sensible idea. They're sleeveless.
Pulled on over soft collar attached
shirts in white or blue broadcloth
or oxford. Leaving your arms free,
but protected from the sun.
Some of the early-season golfers
will wear chamoiS pullovers. Warm,
soft and just about as pliable as
your skin.
Socks the Same
No change in socks plain
ribbed wool for the knicker- wearers
and Isle and wool half hose for
the "slackers." Though some men
are going in so heavily for this
complete comfort idea that they'll
wear anklets.
Some will take a firm stand in
wing tip oxfords. Some in the
moccasin type that's been popular
since Bobby Jones first stepped out
in them. And you'll see both types
oftenest in brown.
Heads will be capped or hated
according to taste. In this, as in
all the other golf outfit questions,
the right thing for you is which
ever you can forget all about as
you putt around the green.
