Paris Gave American
Artist Related Honor

The portrait of Whistler's Mother"
was hung In the Louvre In 1925. 1t
Is the first picture by an American
artist to hang In the great French gal
lsTy.
In 1891 Whistler was induced by
Georges Clemenceau to sell the can
vas to the French government. 1t was
then placed in the Musee du Luxem-
bourg. that gallery having been for
many years the chief repository OF the
governments purchases In contemp0-
rary art 1t Is a rule that picture
must remain there until at least ten
years after the death of the artist.
Then, IL the authorities choose, 1t may
enter the sacred portals Of the Louvre.
Whistler parted with the painting
only on the condition that 1t was to
md permanent place in the Louvre
after the required lapse of time. He
received $500 for 1t, which up to that
time was the highest price the French
government had ever paid for con-
temporary painting. In addition he
was given the Legion Of Honor. Whis-
tier died In 1903.
In the summer of 1925 the painting
was stored, along with the others OF
the Jeu de Paume, in the cellar OF the
Luxembourg to make room for Ru-
manian exhibition. In May, 1925, a
place was made for the celebrated
portrait In the Louvre Itself. belated

MILL STRIKERS
At Reading Hit Cotton Tex
tile Code

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-The
strikers at the Joseph Bancroft &
Sons Company Mills. Reading, Pa,
have forwarded a message to Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of
the national recovery act, protesting
against the terms of the proposed
code for the cotton textile industry.
The strikers also protested against
the action of the management of the
Bancroft Company in refusing to
meet their elected representative.
The letter to Gen. Johnson said in
part: "Please register this group of
workers as being opposed to the terms
of the code for cotton as presented
by the Cotton Textile Institute. The
minimum wage Of S11 a week in
Northern mills is altogether too low,
and the two shifts of 40 hours each
are altogether too long.
"The minimum wage of $l1 week
will certainly become about the aver
age wage in this min unless we are
able to have a union of our own
choosing. We cannot know what the
conditions are in cotton mills in other
parts of the country unless we are
members of national labor union as
ours is the only cotton mill in this
district"

Rirds of the Bible

There are 900 references to birds
In the Bible, according to recent
story In American Field. Ornithologists
say that 113 are OF general use In
the sense that they refer simply to
birds and are not directed to any
particular species. OF the species men
toned by name the dove holds first
place by being mentioned 80 times
The eagle is mentioned 80 times. Fhe
raven, cock and hen are mentioned u
times each. Reference Is made II
times to the owl, 10 to the pigeon
to the sparrow, to the stork, and
to the pelican. Four passages refer
to the quail swallow and vulture, to
the ostrich, bittern, peacock and cor
morant. The crane, partridge, osprey,
kite, cuckoo, hawk, heron, nighthawk
and lapwing are mentioned twice
each. The swan and gier eagle once
each.

The same men.
But.
Somehow, none of them worked.
Query: Why should we produce
wealth, with Is million men idle?
They won't buy your stuff, after it
is made.
That must be why they are bribing
the farmers not to produce.
Can you beat it?
Always the talk has been:
How to increase production"
Here is the argument:
Millions are hungry;
There is more food than they can
get to eat;
Therefore:
There is too much food;
Therefore:
Stop producing food!
Exactly one hundred years from
now
Some research man will dig these
facts out of history's muck.
Nobody will believe it.
But he'll have the documents to
prove
That in 1888 A. D. president of
the U. S. A. did believe it;
And that the government acually
paid out the money for it
To prevent the growing of crops!
The wiseacres will scratch their
heads.
They will point to the confusion
that reigned;
To the reports of prosperity that
is around the corner"
To prove the unreliabiity of the
alleged records:
1t was even stated that the Red
Cross gave food to the unemployed!
Asinine!
Sure!

EXPLOIT
Girls in Domestic Jobs In
New York

New York Witty (ILNS}-Young
girls who have been forced to enter
domestic work by the depression and
consequent lack of other jobs, are
being cruelty exploited in many
cases, the division of junior placement
of the New York state labor depart
ment reports.
In March, 1880, only z per cent OF
all jobs open to girls between Ia and
16 in the junior employment offices
of New York state were housework.
On March 1, 1888, 70 per cent Of such
Jobs were in the housework field. For
girls between 16 and 20 about 45 per
cent of the jobs at present are house.
work, as compared with 6 per cent
in the winter of 1929-30.
"There is overwhelmingly evidence
on every hand to show that to an
increasing degree housewives are ex-
pecting of these young, immature,
unframed workers an amount of work
out of all proportion either to their
strength or their ability" lhe re-
port says.
Reports are constantly COM
ing in of Is and 16 year old girls
who are made to work with no
let-up whatever from $50 a. m.
till 10 or IL at night and even
later.
"In many cases no wage whatever
is paid-girls being expected to work
for merely good home Paying
jobs vary in the amount offered. In
New York city these younger girls
are frequently offered as little as $40
or $l5 month. In upstate cities,
such as Albany, Syracuse, Rochester
and Buffalo, wages for these young
sters commonly range from So to SIS
week, with many girls of l6 to II
being asked to work for 49, There
are numerous offers also for as little
as So or $3.50. Nor are the wages
in practice by any means always the
wages mentioned when the housewife
gives her order to the employment
office"
Food and living conditions for
many of the girls are shown to be
very inadequate, the quarters in GER
tain cases being a menace to morals.

LONG LINES GOING
BACK TO WORK

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Lines
going back to work-visions of longer
lines going back faster as the recov-.
cry act, including the construction
programm, takes hold.
That's the picture built by latest
A. F. of L. figures, which now show
100000 back in jobs since March
this year. In these figures business
has found more comfort than it's own
tables of rising activities.
The federation, observing gain in
work through May as well as April,
expresses the hope that real climbing
is under way.
For the first time in many months
unemployment has dropped below
thirteen million. Federation figures
show it at l2,540,000, AND GOING
DOWN.

In Speaking Of Coins,
Bogus" 10 Good Word

Bogus, meaning counterfeit, accord
Ing to a story In Numismatist, Is
perfectly legitimate American word,
which, like many others OF its type,
carries curious story, and Is all that
is left of the person originally respon-
sible for its inclusion In our language.
According to the report Of trial
published in 1857, In what was then
the Boston Courier the word bogus"
is the corruption Of the name Of one
Borghese. Borghese was malefactor
who about 90 years ago achieved con-
siderable notorIety as counterfeiter.
He did tremendous business supply
ing his agents throughout the West
and Southwest with counterfeit green
backs and bills on fictitious banks.
Through the process of what Is
called mumbo- jumbo the name OF this
money maker was shortened to Bogus
and his bills, as well as all others OF
like character were universally styled
bogus currency" Today the word is
applied to anything Of spurious ma
ture.

Kangaroo. Live In Trees

specimens Of kangaroo that lives
IN trees. It's habitat Is the dense
forest of northeast Queensland
The animal probably has developed
the habit of making its home In trees
because OF the density Of the jungle
and the absence Of food on the ground
These kangaroos have larger and
stronger forelegs than the ordinary
Australian kangaroo; their hind
legs are smaller and their tails long

You have heard of such q thing as
capital"
Definition: That portion of wealth
used to produce more wealth.
They say: 1t takes money to make
money.
The real thing is much nearer to
the bony facts of life:
It's this: You need hoe to grow
potatoes.
With horse and pillow you can
grow more potatoes.
Given a proper cultivator and a
horse, you can grow still more pota-
toes.
BY using good potato digger you
can harvest more potatoes still
Assuming that you have grown the
potatoes and need to dig them.
Appropos of that: In 1868 the tax
able property per capita in this coun-
Try was 1903.
BY 1870 it had increased to 1924
and by 1900, to 1880, per capita.
In 1929 the total average wealth
per capita was about $4,000.
BY that time we had solved the
problem of producing"
America had capital enough for

wealth.
Proof: She sent II billion dollars
abroad into foreign investments.
She already had billions invested
in all phases of radio.
And she had over 4 billions in auto

with a heavyweight duel involving
Ernie Schaaf OF Boston and Stanley

This bout originally was scheduled

with an injury and had to ask for a
postponement. Last weeks show was
called off when Isidore Gastanaga,
Spanish heavyweight who was to have
fought Tom Heeney, said he was suffer-

Schaaf's injury has completely healed
now and the Boston battler Is ready
to continue his comeback campaign.
He probably will rate slight favorite
over Poreda although the New Jersey
slugger is one OF the best of the younger

THERE have been many great
i heavyweights in modern ring
history, but few who compare
to James J. Jeffries in punching
qualities and stamina. This "grizzly
bear" of the roped square, now we'll

Calf, remains active in ring affairs
by doing the chores as a Coast ref
cree and occasionally training some
promising lad in the art of flsticuffs.
Until recently Farmer JEFF" was
tutor Of heavyweight named MOTTO,
but he found him lacking IN the
essentials Of a flghter-ability to
take it-and sold his contract to
Johnny Buckley, manager of the
present heavyweight king, Jack
Sharkey.
For a number Of years following
his defeat at the hands of Jack
johnson, Jeffries remained in retire
ment on his Burbank estate, but In
recent years his fortune, like that
Of many Of his friends, dwindled

game as a manager, trainer and now
a referee.
When jeff was in his prime he
was one OF the most powerful fight
ers Of all time. In fact, it often has
been said that it was his strength
that enabled him to win the world
championship from Jim Corbett.
Jeffries weighed 220 pounds when at
his best, stood feet 1A inches and
had a well developed, hairy chest.
He always displayed an Indifference
to pain, his gameness being Of the,
variety seldom seen in the flstic..
sport.
He was one of the few great
fighters who didn't get his start as
an amateur. Unlike Corbett, Non
pareil Jack Dempsey, Jack McAu-
life, FitZsimmons and Sullivan,

as a pro. He always showed an
abnormal amount of resistance and
this was the key to his gladiotorial
