SMITH STAYS IN

DEMOCRATS who have been going
~ about on tip-toe since last Saturday,
apprehensive that Mr.. Smith might bolt
the party, may now come down on their
heels since Al has let it be known that
he will stay within the fold.
Smiths statement that he will sup
port the ticket is the only one that could
be expected AS he himself states,
third parties" are at best forlorn hopes,
and Al has had enough of forlorn hopes.
But he can be credited with remaining
true to the party that has given him its
highest honors. 1t was not in him to
turn from them because he lost out at
Chicago. His defeat is bitter person
al blow, but perhaps no more so than
the one he received in 1928.
He is not the hypocritical kind who,
under the guise of being a good loser
comes out with whoop and bang,
generally insincere, for his recent oppon.
ent. His enemies never accused MN OF
being insincere. -,
The campaign will find Smith doing
GOOD work for his party which is as 1t
should be and which his friends and sup
norters should have known it would be.
Now the Mexicans have found mo-
tion picture which slurs their country.
Truly the ways of film producer are
difficult.

More jobs instead of charity.
That is the request Of Mrs. Myr-

whe is supervisor of Flanner House
employment bureau. 1t is Mrs. Ro-
per'S task to find jobs for the rows
of workers waiting at the Flanner
House, 802 North West street, hop
ing for telephone calls to homes that
need workers by the day. Some
days there aren't enough calls to
go around, and the women, who
work for 81 a day and carfare, go
home, dependent on charity for
food.
IF the curtains are dirty, that's
a days work for somebody. If the
windows need washing, that's an
other days work. If the woodwork
gets the attention that it needs; if
cleaning of closets, floors, rugs or
any one of the thousand other jobs
that accumulate around a home, is
done now, there will be less need
for charity" says Mrs. Roper.
Flanner House is the only en-
ployment bureau here which trains
its own workers before sending
them out. The laundry school had

Everything was filled out in order

my mother-in-law, we'll, I kept
about all my family"
But you can't list that here" said
the tax employee; this refers only
to organized charity"
Say, listen" retorted the bust
ness man Indignantly, "if that
bunch wasn't organized, I don't
know who was!"

of the income tax bureau, had been
reading the accounts of congress-
discussions too avidly in the news

basis of what congress thought 1t
might do with the income tax laws"
A middle-aged woman walked up
to the information desk in Room
300, where the employees assist per-
sons making returns, and asked to
file her return.
An employe FASTENED to aid her.
At the item relating to marriage
he was instructed to place mot

"The word depression has made
so much Roadway that it's even
stealing into the income tax re-
turns" asserted another office en-
ploye.
Zone man filing his return put
down depression on furniture in
stead of depreciation"
March Is Is Deadline
Only two weeks remain for re-
turns to be filed, Neal stressed to-
day, as March Is is the deadline
Many persons, he said, have re-
Trained from making returns be-
cause of the uncertainty of con-

ment will cause an unprecedented
rush, he said, and he urged all per-
sons who have not yet filed to do so
Immediately.
