WHITE HOUSE STONE WORK
(Washington star)

] The first repairs to the stone work of the White House since that famous Structure was built are under way and public works funds are financing them. Arno B. Cammerer, director of the Omce of National Parks, Buildings and Re- servations, announced that $6.O00 is being spent for replacement of two great Indiana limestone cor nice stones. The stones themselves will cost approximately $1,000 each and the remainder of the money will be spent in raking out defec- tive mortar ands replacing 1t with watertight joining and In repair- ing other defective stones.
 The cornice of the White House on the. Pennsylyanla avenue side has crumbled and -deteriorated from weathering successive freez- ing and thawing, until cracks have been opened and fragments of stone detached or loOsened. It Is expected to have the work done before the president and his family return to the White House, al- though adverse weather conditions for the past few days have delayed progress. The work is being done by employees of the public build ings branch of the Ofiice of Ma .tional Parks, Buildings and Re- seryations, but 1t has been found necessary also to employ some ad- ditionaI union stonemasons to as- sist in repointing the stones.
 q MT Cammerer said records had been searched carefully to deter mine whether any such work has been done heretofore, and there is no such record, a fact which speaks well for the original build

National interest has been aroused in a suggestion made short time ago by Editor Walter P. McGuire of the Southside Virginia News Petersburg, Virginia; the suggestion being that farm boys keep on the farm. It's a simple suggestion. and a very sound one. How much unemployment has been caused by the trek from farm to city is problemati- cal = but it would make an impressive total. These young men, for the most part. are ur- trained and inexperienced and unfitted for factory work They rarely find jobs above the common labor level. They are the first to be dismissed when times get hard and the last to be taken back when re- covery starts.

WHO PAYS ELECTRIC TAX?
(The Meriden Journal) ].

Professor Albert Levitt, of Red- ring, who Is now an assistant in Att torney General Cummings depart ment in Washington, has com plained that the Connecticut Light and Power company plans to trans- fer payment of the governments 3 per cent tax on electricity to the consumer. He based this charge on a notice sent out by the company to consumers which read {. taxes are a part of the cost of ser- vice and this constantly increasing burden must be met from It's in- come. the only source of which is its customers"
 The professor, obviously. sought to check an increase in rates, which the company probably had no Idea of asking. Its notice stated simply that the tax money would have to come from consumers, which would not necessarily mean an increase in rates. but would pretty well discount possibilities of Q decrease in rates.
 This tax must, as the company stated, s'be met from inc0me." With income sharply reduced onaccount of tax payments, what happens? The large Columbia Gas and Elec- tric company answered by reducing dividends, as other utilities have done, and many thousands of small stockholders must make up for the rising taxes and increased costs through code operation.
 That's about all there is to 1t. The utilities are soaked" for the past misdeeds of some of their managements and for the good of the federal treasury, and millions of investors get 10 much less, or else the corporate strongbox is tapped until 1t won't stand any more tapping. :.
 Ali realize that Uncle Sam can't be too particular where he gets funds at this time but many be- lieve that power companies are get. ting more than their share of soak ing from various tax soVces. In any event, there is no sense in the professor rubbing 1t in just be. cause he holds the whiphand .fol the present.

Berlin Letter
BY PAUL KECSKEMETT United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Berlin, (UP)--German beggars nowadays verify deserve the epi- thet "poor beggars." Their business prospects in the new Germany are below zero since the government decided that their guild should be stamped out. The first result was wholesome raids. Police and stormtroop de- tachments went over cities and countryside arresting all the mendicahts and putting them in jail or, worse, in concentration camps.
 This war waged against beggars is an additional example of the Nazis' determination to attain totality in everything.
 Charity in Itself, the Nazis con- sider a good thing. In fact, Nazi creed to a large extent is based on the axiom that he who has should give to him who hasn't. But, and here lies the difference, this ought not to be done in the haphazard way.

THE VANISHING HOBO
tNew York Herald-Tribune)

The American hobo, as an old- timer of the road, proud of his shiftless status. scorning work and bound by the ties of an intangible but none the less compulsive frat ernity, is a vanishing institution. Ralph Dalton, president of the Ho- bo Fellowship, now assembled in annual convocation on, of all places, Boston Common, has said SO, and Hobo Dalton ought to know. At the rate at which the ho- bo's numbers are diminishing now, 1t is estimated that the once famil-. far figure of the high road, travel ing with the seasons, living, like an invading army, of the scene of his progress and in mystic communica- ton with others of his craft where- ever he wanders, will have van- ished from the countryside in an- other decade. No more handouts from kitchen doors, no more half hours at the woodpile for nights lidging in the hayloft, no more chalk symbols on gateposts to in- dicate the quality of the reception to be expected within.
 This, of course, applies to the recognized hobo of tradition, who. while not above reproach in minor matters of ethics, was not a refu- gee from justice or a lone criminal hiding out in box cars and 'jun- gles" while waiting the opportunity for lawless enterprise. Nor, natur- ally, does 1t apply to the numbers of homeless youths who have ''tak- on 1t on the lam" for petty offenses or to embarrass their families of their support in lean years and who constitute so pressing a social prob lem of the times. The oldtime hobo simply had as his caste mark a few personal belongings wrapped in a bandanna. and utterly refused to work. Some hoboes, Jim TulH would have us believe, were erudite and philosophical fellows, and like the snake-oi salesman and errant minstrel show, they were an in- tcgral part of the American rural scene in q less headlong age.

Slab Star
Cleveland HurIer Beats
Rowe and Blanks
Tigers.
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 22.-Balanced
in attack and defense, the Cleveland
Indians are on the warpath this
season determined to find a happier
hunting around than the American
Leagues fourth place, which they
have occupied for three years.
They have rolled up an impressive
combination of figures while regis
tering five victories in seven starts.
They drove out 81 hits at the rate
of 81-7 a game, yielded only Al
Safeties to opponents for an average
of 5 81 a contest, and f1elded at the
brilliant pace of 1922.
The tribe displayed its ferocity
Friday as it rose to second place in
the league standings, by scalping
that widely publicized young tender
foot, Schoolboy Rowe. They nicked
him for nine hits, while Oral Hide
brand BANKED the Detroit Tigers,
. to 0, dropping the Bengals into the
leagues cellar.
Hildebrand, former Indianapolis
collegian, permitted only five sin
giles, and noG Detroiter got past
second. Second Baseman Cissel
contributed a single, a double and a
home run for Cleveland.
While Rowe was embroiled at
Cleveland, that old man, Babe Ruth,
was having big day at Boston.
Ruth doomed the loudest of the
New York Yankees big guns as they
shot an eighteenth broadside into
the Boston Red Sox, sinking them
Z to 5. The Babe blasted out his
second home run of the season,
made double, was walked three
times and thrown out once. Every
man on the team connected at least
twice except Ruffing, who hit once.
Weiland, WEIGH and Mclaughlin
were the victims of the attack.
Ruffing allowed the Sox eight hits.
The st. Louis Browns and Phila-
delphia Athletics rose from a last
place tie to triple tie with Wash
ington for fourth place. The Browns

The Athletics downed Washing
ton, 3 to 1, although outhit, 8 to 7,
and despite three errors. Buddy
Myers homer in the fifth accounted
for the Senators lone run off Sugar
Cain, rookie right handler. General
Crowder was the losing pitcher.
PittSburghs Pirates took the lead
in the National League when a five
run uprising in the eighth inning
gave them to l victory over the
Cincinnati Reds. This dropped the
Reds into a last-place tie with the
Boston Braves, who won their first
game of the season, 3 to /, over
Bill Terry's New York Giants. Hal
Schumacher blew up in the fourth
and allowed three Boston runs.
The ST. Louis Cardinals drove out
fourteen hits as they BANKED the
Chicago Cubs, to 0. Bill Hallahan
registered his second victory of the
season, limiting the Cubs to five
Safeties.
These were the only games
scheduled.
