impression from the article that this
Infamous system CT political banditry,
organized assassination, and cultural
barbarisn, is not imposed by the
minority of bankers and industrialists
upon the toiling masses, but that it
is a particular form Of deprayity OF

Short Stories from the Experiences of alone
Relief Bureau Investigator
as told to HELEN KAY
The DeSerter

He stood in front Of me still
holding the picture in his hands.
Bitterly he pointed to it. ut was
this boy that voluntarily joined the
Navy to fight for his country" he
said He pointed to himself, "but
1t won't be this man"
His wife pleaded with me not TO
mind him, Ever since he came
back from the. Navy he hardly talks
to anybody. Hes. so gloomy and be-
sides. he often gets commissions"
The poor woman had tears in her
eyes. Tom, please stop" she
begged him.
"StopIn he yelled. oh, yes, this
is a great country to fight for, q
country with brass bands and gold
medals, and little children like
these"
He pointed to his three children
standing there terrified. They were
Immediately clean, pitifully thin.
"They cry for piece of bread or
q glass OF milk, and I can't give it
to them. Yes, a great country, Miss.
But this time someone else will
have to do the fighting for it, Not
T." He walked out Of the room in
his anger. .,.5;=e

THREE days later, came TO noti-
1 fy the family that the Home Re-
lief Bureau could not do anything.
He would have to apply to the Blu
reau of Veterans for aid.
I came to the door as an ambu-
lance pulled up. Two men in white
uniforms were carrying the woman
out on stretcher. Her face and
hands were black with ashes.
I introduced myself to the nurse.
The nurse explained that the wo-
man had tainted while fixing the
heaters. Fer cohdition showed that
she was very mitch -undernourished,
oyerworked ana fatigued with wor-
ry. The nurse also stated that she
would most likely lose the baby she
carries. ~ -.
I wanted TO speak to the man.
But when saw. his angry and des-

perate look, I pretended not TO
have noticed him and walked away.
Several weeks passed. During
those weeks we were called again
by the Bureau of Disabled Veter-
ans. They informed us that they
cannot ascertain whether the
mans illness is a result Of the war
or not. They, therefore, have held
up the case for further inyestiga-
ton" and have referred the fanli~
ly to our care.
I was finally given a food ticket
to take to the home Of this war
veteran, Even before 1 reached
their door, gathered from friend
Of theirs, that this devoted hus-
band and father had deserted the
family. He couldn't bear to see his
babies starve. The wife was in the
hospital, deathly sick. She had had
a miscarriage.

answered my question In: regard to
military service.
I hesitated. To break the monot-
ony of the endless questioning nee
essary for my report, I stated in
question form, 'eThat must have
been interesting work." a
The man turned pale. YES" he
replied, very interesting. 1t de-
stroys a lot-and it sure destroyed
me-" He walked over to one Of the
drawers and pulled out. a picture.
Look" he said. "can you recognize
me?"
/ looked at the picture. It was
one of youth and health, / couldn't
possibly reconcile the stalwart
young man Of the picture with. this
eInaciated skeleton who held the
photo in his trembling hands.
This man had come many times
to the Home Relief Bureau to ask
for aid. After every plea he was
promised an Investigation"
He finally stopped coming. One
day, a nurse from the Visiting
Nurse Association, and a public
school teacher called the office and
in Indignation, reported that tn
family was desperately hungry, and
facing eviction.
TT WAS only then that was given
instructions to investigate" this
family's case. found this man, a
war veteran, sick. his wife preg-
nant, on her knees scrubbing the
floors of the large hallway. This, in
addition to taking care Of the heat
ers, was to make up for part Of the
rent.
1t was this man, the head Of the
family, jobless, starving, that ]
must ask questions concerning
background, relatives, property, in
surance policies, and everything
about him and his family. Then
l would have to fill out the report
and perhaps he'd get relief OF some
sort.

The presence of locusts this

that the known presence of these

WORLDS RAREST GEM
FOUND ON WEST COAST

HOLLISTER, Calf, May 22-
(UP).-Few of the worlds jewel
collectors know that one Of the
rarest of all precious stones
Benitoites-are found only in one
small surface deposit, the area Of
which is no larger than a good
sized room. in San Benito county.
The tract of soil containing the
deposit has been under lease to
Otis Dunn, Santa Paula, Calf,
for several years. Economic con-
ditions of the past three years
caused him to close operations.
He plans to resume working the
deposit soon.
The finest Benitoites are clear
transparent blue in color, shad-
ing ;nto the palest lavender and
white. Only one clear white Benz
tote ever has been found.
BenitOites, as the rarest gems
in the world, consequently are
the most valuable, according to
Dunn. They are known to but
few collectors. They are found
imbedded in solid rock, and the
only way to remove them without
CHANGING damage is to place the
ore in acid. which eats away the
rock but does not injure the Ben
itoite. 1t is then cut and polished
the same as a diamond.
