CARE OF JOBLESS
Transients Seen as National
Problem

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Care of
the transient unemployed is ma
tlonal problem, to be best solved by
action of the federal government, wit
nesses before the senate manufactur-
ers' subcommittee testified. The SUBJ
committee is considering relief legis-
lation.
"The states will not appropriate
their own funds to take care Of some
body not of their state" Nels An
derson, instructor in sociology at
Columbia University, said. He de-
clared that transients are being driv-
en- out from some states. Other wit
nesses made similar statements.
Anderson described to the commit
tee census of relief agencies corr
cerning transients, estimating the
total homeless in the country now at
100000 to 100000 He emphasized
the increase in the number of young
women wanderers and in transient
boys, and pointed out that fewer
facilities are available for the women
than for boys or men.

Dorothy E. Wysor, secretary of the

testified in regard to her experience
that care and protection given to wo-
men and girl transients despite their

"As the problem grows is there

hostility? 2" asked Senator L Toilette.
Miss Wysor said that such was the
case.
Margaret Reeves, director of the
State Bureau of Child Welfare in
New Mexico, told of the transient
problem in that state. She said that
one town of $500 cared for 1000
transients last December and that in
the same month another town of 1000
gave help to 600. She cited New Mex
leo as an example of the necessity of
federal action, stating that the tran

THE
E1lturldl

There are many varieties of human
nature. Among them we find two ex-
tremes-the very taIkative= group and
the intensely quiet type These two
sets are placed together in the hum
drum of school life and they attemp,
to carve their fortunes In their owr,
ways. The energetic group find them
selves converslng more or less upon
studies or social happenings. The
peace abiding group Of students are
seen to be studying whenever the in
structor makes his survey
Although the two extremes seem far
apart in behavior, they come much
closer together in the studious column.
II we were to graph the two groups
we would start with the actions at the
bottom--they would be far apart but
the grades which come at the top or
the goal would converge.
We are placed in school to study.
Each group Of students employ differ
ent methods to gain their goal of good
grades. Why should one group be en-
couraged by good mark in behavior
while the other set is marked very
low?
It may seem logical to grade low on
behavior but when we consider the
fact that both attain the same grades
and vet one group gains the honor roll
for their efforts while the oppositely
characterized group get no credit
whatsoever for the same kind of
grades, it seems that there is d big
mistake made

viii Benefit
Gold Mining
In This District
U. S. Government Will Buy and Sell
Newly Mined Gold at World
Prices or Better.

II his radio address to the nation
Sunday night, President Roosevelt an
nounced that he had decided to ease
up on the gold embargo and that the
government would enter the gold market
and buy newly mined gold, at a price
higher than the world market For the
past several weeks there has been an
arrangement whereby home producers
of gold could sell their product to the
foreign market, through United States
channels. The price of gold at one time
had climbed to $50 an ounce as COM
pared to $40 on the home market Con-
siderable delay in obtaining returns
arose in selling on the foreign market.
This will undoubtedly be done away

Skinner declared that mining ir the

The action of the federal govern

Skinner said, will be of even greater
benefit to the producers than selling
on consignment.
1T means they will get their money
quicker When they ship gold on con-
signment, they must wait three to
