WASHINGTON HILL

By taking high score for the night with 3S games Joe Phalen and his teammates went into tie for first place with the Washing ton Hills both teams having 106 games to their credit after the third week of play in the St Francis Holy Name forty-five totir- nament. Joe led his team to a 3S- 25 win over Mike Goggins Rovers and dropped the latter into ninth place in the standing.
 By virtue of their one game win over Les Coughlin's BuckIers the Washington Hills remained in the lead but must now share the hon. ors with the Phalenmen. The final score of this match was 32-31.
 John Fitzmaurice lived up to pre-game predictions and by trimming Johnny Phalen's cohorts 36-27 went into third place. It is understood that the we'll known police sergeant is on the market for new players after last nights defeat.
 Jimmie Cusick's Collegians drop- ped a 33-3O decision to Tom Den- nihan's team and as a result both teams are now deadlocked for fourth place.
 In the biggest upset of the even- ing Frank Mulcunry led his team to a decisive 37-26 victory over John Bowey's highly touted Ter TOTS. Franks team finished in the cellar last year but if they con- tinue to put on the exhibition they put on last night before long they will be up among the leaders.
 Tom Horan is finding the going pretty hard this year and has yet to win a match. Last night they dropped their third straight this time a 37-26 decision to Jim Shan- nahan's team from the city yards.
 It was a great night for the Shannahan's last night as Perry Shannahan's team also came through with flying colors by trim- ming Bill O'Donnell and his mates by a 37-26 score.
 Bill Gaughan kept George O'Neill and his mates in the cellar. This time handing the O'Neill forces a 37-26 drubbing and leav- ing them occupying the cellar po- sition all alone.

If he had not been killed when he was another bull let would have gotten him later she declared. '
 Discussing world conditions in general. Miss Avery said that the bottom Of the depression was reached in 1882 and showed mar setting forth the countries of the earth that are now on their way back to betetr economic conditions There is very little need to worry about the United States budget she declared, for. the national debt is not nearly SO large as Great Britain's and our national resources are infinitely greater.

The payment of milk bills which have been accumulated since last summer Is given as the reason for the increase of expenditures with in the past few weeks. As soon as the bills are paid up there will be no further expense in connection with this item as the city is now paying for milk given Mutual Aid families. It is possible also that the city may assume the duty of SUD- plying food. which would leave the Mutual Aid free to continue oper- ations on it's present scale.
 Receipts last week were $7,723 and expenditures were $10,315, thus reducing the balance from $8,O52 to $5,46O. The expenditures consisted of $6,355 for wages $2,- SIS for milk, $23S for food. $162 for clothing $10 for fuel, $10 for rent and $119 for sundries.
 The number of persons on the list, both those given work and those given direct relief increased during the week, being now 1,1S2 instead of 1,175. There are now 1,046 given work compared with 1,041 last week, 99 given direct re- lief compared with 97, and ,37 given food and lodging at the par ish house, the same as last week.

 Sure, I know Barton. He's all right" answered Jones, ST. "But what about that WipowslSy family they turned up the other day two in the family had jobs, but the old man was on relief for the lot of them just the same."
 ALWAYS SOME CHISELING
 That happens, of course" John, Jr., admitted, "but not in 2 per cent of the cases. How cah you help some chiseling when so many are on relief? I saw the other day where Harry Hopkins, the federal relief administrator. says one in six or seven people, in the whole country is on relief and that 100000 children are grow ing up who know only the kind of home life they get. under relief conditions. Nine out of ten men it."
 "Oh, I suppose so,' grudged Pa Jones, "but how long can it go on? The federal and state govern ments have poured more than two billion dollars into relief, includ- ing CWA funds, in the last IS months, and there's no letupi

WILL REDUCE BURDEN All these plans, working to- gether, Hopkins believes, will gradually cut the present awful burden of direct relief. ."I hear there's going to be something like the CWA again this winter,'' suggested Pa Jones. I'm kind of skeptfcal of that. Remember last year when they had 50 men down on Lorn- bardy avenue; digging up the street and putting it back down again. And you had to be good democrat to get on the job, with more pay that can afford for inexperienced help in the store"
 Everybody knows the civil works administration last year wasn't a complete success" ad- mitted John, Jr., ''still, the $40O,- 900, ,0OO they spent would have had to be just given out in relief, anyway, and we got something out of it.
 "Welton Park looks great deal better than 1t did year ago; that dangerous corner at Venable and Main was eliminated, and the airports twice as good. This year the councils got real plan all figured out, as you know, to ac-1 comp1isll some really worthwhile things for the town if they get CWA or public work relief money again. And politics can be cut out of it if we'll holler loud enough.
 MUST BAN POLITICS
 Washington definitely ordered politics out--but it has to leave local situations up to local peo- pie. We'll just have to holler if Democrats start getting all the jobs."
 Pa Jones still shook his head. T worry about it,p h esaid. Looks to me as if we're building up lot of people who whould rather just scrape along on relief than get out and work hard for something better. It's growing, and it's likely to bust the govern ment."
 Jones, Jr., had a hint of snap in his voice as he answered: 'Yes! and until we can say to three out of four who are on relief, Heres a pretty good job that'lI enable you to live better than you do now!' we're still going to have the problem.
 There's only one answer to the relief problem-jobs!"

 Who's going to do that? All of us, the government. You know perfectly we'll the Community Fund can't carry all the people in this town"
 MORE AND MORE RELIEF
 Well, I did use to think it could," said Jones, ST. T know we worked pretty hard on it every year, and Lord knows we gave more than we could really afford, but there's too many on relief, and getting to be more all the time.
 That's the discouraging thing. It don't let up. Sometimes feel like saying, Well, guess I'll just give up and go on relief my self and stop worrying"
 T guess you're joking about that" cut in John, Jr., quickly. You know you wouldn't, not for anything. Neither would most of the people who are being helped.
