this 1t was recommended to supply reading matter for the unemployed in New York, not by buying new books, which would be a useless expense for the relief committee, but collecting of books no longer of value to the owners. This seems a sensible proposition and might be quite as practical in arranging for same, as the collection of old clothing. In New York city it has been recommended to bring books to the general relief office. Most people own any number of books, which, when once read are of no more interest and add nothing to one's library--many of the best sell- CTS, for instance-so this would be a good way to weed out the super luous books in ones library If they are at all readable; for while they are no longer of interest to the owner, they might be greatly en- joyed by some one else. This might be thought then in Water bury as a means of giving q little pleasure to the unemployed who have not much of anything but time on their hands.

THE MAN WHO ONCE WALKED A MILL

A mother sends in two-line clipping which says '"rhe day will come when people will point at the man who once walked milc.' Then she comments on it,
 But really it does not seem funny to It seems rather tragic that people of this genera ton get frightened when you suggest q walk. They have to drive the car to the corner gro- cery two blocks away.
 l should rather spend an hour walking than drive for an hour, any time
 Why does not some Dhilanthropist inter- ested in the improvement of health race betterment for this generation and the gener- ations to follow offer q prize for walking feats or achievements instead of giving prizes for swimming the channel or something equally spectacular?
 I Il nearly fortyfve and believe | that I could walk from here to California in | two months (provided the route covered not | more than 2,000 miles).
 | My husband and neighbors regard my walks | joke but my husband is much over weight and constantly complains of i'll health and Stomach trouble. My children, who like to walk with me, and are very fit physical specimens and not afraid of oxygen on the hoof.
 There is great deal of philosophy and good hygiene in this sensible mothers ideas. People arc afraid to walk, afraid for one reason or another. Afraid the ncighbors may think they cant afford to ride. Afraid their makeup may come off Afraid they may get up q sweat which just isn't done In the more ex- elusive circles depicted in claptrap magazines Afraid weather may prove indictment. Afraid they may get wet. Afraid they may be re- garded quaar
 Ideal conditions for walking in southern California Less walking done there than any where else in the world, estimate. Why. when Tony the Wirish Terror and l go out for evening stroll 1t is rahtcr startling to anybody else afoot, after the sun sets and all the folks in Beverly Hills draw their shades and turn in--or out-for the night. The boulevards brightly lighted every where. Even the beautiful little parks are il- uminatcd at night. I can't learn why.
 Somebody did offer a, prize two three years ago. for crosse continent hike-or was 1t for running? But the professional sport writers made joke of it. Not since Weston s day has any pedestrian achieved wide distinc- ton even momentary popular interest for his walking.
 It to be national characteristic to prefer to sit in the grandstand or the bcacherS and take our physical exploits Vi- cariously striving vainly to satisfy the re- pressed urge by yelling and screaming hys- tcrically over the contests of the hired players. The hysteria of spectators at q football game is really sad exhibition of racial weakness dcgencracy.
 Walking is the finest all-round exercise any man woman take. Alas these days only the more fortunate can afford it as q regular daily habit. TO keep physically fit, one must devote from one to two hours to t every day. Whatever the value of ones time, l sincerely believe this investment Is the wisest the modern man or woman can make.

aliens have been given jobs. The motor ve- bicie department was cited as an offender. It was stated that it recently hired 20 men without seeking war veterans preferably. Perhaps this criticism is unjust Maybe there were no applicants from war veterans or if there were. perhaps their recommendations were not enough to warrant their filling the positions eapably. In such cases as this. charges should not be passed too quickly.
