1900 AWAITING
COUNTY JOBS

More than $500 unemployed
residents of Arlington county,
Va, today are anxiously awaiting
approval of civil warks projects
so that they may be allotted jobs.
Mrs. Mae Jacobs, director OF
public welfare, and other county
officials have selected a number
of projects on which the unem-
ployed can be cared for. These
plans now await approval from
State headquarters Of the Civil
Works Administration.
Among the jobs for which ap-
proval is asked are drainage prof.
ects, water main extensions in
areas not now served by the
county system, sidewalk construc-
ton. and school repair and
building.
It is thought the State author
ity will approve the plans to the
amount of about 100000.
Although the projects asked
will not care for all registered,
it is pointed out that the most
deserving will be cared for and
that within a short while there

the only definite plan she has is

HOPES FOR AID

Move by Steward to Absorb

elimination of that outstanding
problem. the Civil Service Com
missions unemployment list, ap-
peared a possibility today in con-
nection with the movement to al
lot CWA funds to certain Federal
agencies so that additional en-
ployes may be furnished to assist
in their work, and at the same
time jobs be provided for white
collar" workers.
President Harry B. Mitchell Of
the Civil Service Commission, in
whose behalf, among other
agencies, the program has been
suggested, said that he would like
to see the unemployment list re-
moved from the situation through
employment of all available per-
sons listed on it.
Preference Sought
Both organizations of Federal
employees are interested in the
plan to build up subnormal Fed
eral forces with the aid Of CWA
funds. and feel that persons on
the unemployment register should
be given preference in any jobs
that become available through
this process.
President Luther C. Steward, OF
the National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees, has issued state
ment urging the CWA to allot
funds for this purpose. President
E. Claude Babcock, of the Ameri'
can Federation of Government
Employees, also has indicated SYM
pathy for any plan that will re-
lieve the overtime situation in
Federal agencies and restore jobs
to those ousted through the
economy program.
Positions Available
In a statement to the Civil Ser
vice Commissions position in the
matter, President Mitchell said:
'"The Civil Service Commits
sion understands from news
paper reports that this matter
Is being presented to the Civil
Works authorities by Mr.. Stew
ard, Of the National Federation
of Federal Employees.
eff it is possible for the CWA
to alIot to us some of these un-
employed persons, or il it seems
desirable for it so to do, the
Commission can utilize their
services.
However, the Commission
doesn't feel like taking any
initiative in this matter, mas
much as our financial problems
have been considered by the
Director Of the Budget and will
later be considered by Con-
gress."

said. The average family will be able
to provide its own clothing and shoes
on 10-cent cotton, whereas for the last
two or three years the Government has
had to supply shoes, overalls and other
clothing.
Several Years Required.
Ten-cent cotton will do more to re-
store economic conditions than all the
relief appropriations the Government
has made or can make" Delaperr!ere
asserted. Farmers can buy their own
land and pay for it with 10-cent cotton.
They cannot do it all at once. It will
require several years at this price to
restore conditions to normal"
Besides cotton, Delaperriere grows
10000 bushels Of corn and $4,000 to
10000 bushels of oats each year to feed
his live stock. Each tenant plants corn
and other feed crops In proportion to
his cotton.
This is the only way" he said, "that
any cotton grower can expect to make
a profitable living. The $50 net cash
from 10 acres of cotton does not by any
means represent all he makes, for he
grows his corn, plants garden of veg
etables, looks after his part of the
orchard and keeps COW and chickens" I"
A Fulton County farmer, who annu.
ally tends about IS acres of cotton was
not so optimistic, fearing that 10 cents
pound would not hold.
1T means nothing now" he said, "for
the farmer has no cotton to sell. BY
next Fall, when we little fellows are
ready to sell what the boil weevil leaves
us, the price likely will be down again."
Weevils Eat Up Crop.
This farmer, however, said he could
make a decent living on his 75-acre
farm II cotton should bring 10 cents q
pound consistently. Before the boil
weevil came, he said, he got an average
of II to IL bales from his annual crop,
but now his average is about four bales
The Fulton farmer believes in grow
ing his own food and feed first Of all
and growing enough cotton to pay his
taxes and buy his clothing.
Other Georgia farmers, whose crops
range from a few acres to large fields.
say they can make profit at 10 cents
a pound.
THE farmer is the backbone of the
Nation" one said. If he makes a
profit on what he has to sell, he has
money to spend and the merchants
prosper.

our cotton" another added, land we'll
put the country back on its feet Well

1000 to 1,500 bales of cotton, says q

"Ten-cent cotton means the farmer

pay some Of his old debts" Delaperriere
said. He can make a profit at that

make profit the Nation prospers."

probably 10 acres will be planted in
cotton. From this 10 acres the tenant
may expect to harvest five bales, which
at 10 cents would bring about $3.50 in
cash
Working on a $3.50 basis, the tenant
must pay for one-half the cost of fer
tilizer used, half the cost of ginning

SMASHER OF LOUvAlN
BALUSTRADE SENTENCED

BRUSSELS, June 30.-Edmond Nor
ren, the Belgian Mason, whose pa
triotism" led him to smash the famous
Louvain University library balustrade
second time last month, was sentenced
yesterday to one year in prison.
Morren not only declined to express
regret for his action, but declared his
determination not to allow any balus-
trade except that of Whitney Warren,
the American architect, to remain on
the library.
Warren'S balustrade, barred by the
Belgian Supreme Court, was to have
borne the Latin inscription: DE-
stroyed by German fury; restored by
American generosity" 1t was subject
Of controversy for years.
When Morren climbed to the roof OF
the library five years ago and smashed
the balustraJe for the first time, he
was sentenced to three months impris-
onment, but the sentence was suspended
When he performed the act again last
June 4, he surrendered to police, say

lobby, clubhouse or wherever he
may be, to tell Of incidents that
have happened on the ball field
either during the present season
or some campaign of the past.
We have one of these yarns at
our disposal today, but to be a
little different, it wasn't told us
by a ball player, as we saw the in
cidents which transpired with our
own eyes and heard 'em with our
own ears.
Here it is:
It seems this event took place
on a hot day in Philadelphia when
the Griffmen were playing the
Philadelphia AS in an important
double-header.
The Afternoon was really hot, so
hot that it was difficult for any
body to breathe properly. There
was not sign of a breeze, not a
sign of anything but plenty Of
sun overhead and a downright
hot sun.
Burke on Mound
Well, to start activities off for
the day, Manager Joe Cronin sent
Bobby Burke to the mound for
the Griffs and Moe Berg behind
the bat. He did this because
Burke and Berg had proved to be
quite a winning combination in
past games and he figured they'd
be again against so potent an op-
ponent as the AS.
Things went along Swimmingly
for the Griffs throughout the
afternoon as Lefty Grove, in the
box for the AS, was knocked out
Of the box and the Griffs finally
won by a margin of 6 to 3.
But they had a hot time turn
ing the trick, especially about
midway in the game, while Roger
Cramer was at bat for the AS.
Now, Roger had gotten a couple
Of hits off Burke before he
stepped to bat in this instance,
and he figured he had a chance
to get another if only he wore
Burke's resistance down a bit.
Therefore every time Burke
made ready to pitch he stepped
out of the box, calling time,
rubbing something out OF his
eyes, or hitting his shoes with
his bat. This finally made Burke
so mad that every time Cramer
stepped to the bat, Bobby began
stepping out of the box to tie
his shoes, rub the perspiration
out of his eyes or fill his fingers
with a COB Of resin, etc.
Berg ExaSperated
Moe Berg, Burke's catcher, be-
came the performer to get ex-
asperated then. He got to the
point where he called "time" to
begin taking his mask and pro-
