PROTESTS INABILITY TO
GET CWA EMPLOYMENT
By Mr.. o. Wells.

BY Mr.. o. Wells
In regard to the letter of Jan. 10.
which H. M. Whileford put in the
Message Center.
I agree with him about giving I'M
employed jobs on bridges. I have
been unable to get on the CWA jobs.
I signed up at Tonlinson hall in
July and again in November at
Meridian street, and no job yet. I
would ike to have a job 1 am an
all-round man, can do anything or
go any place where I can make a.
living. I have been out of work four
years and have my wife and mother
to keep.
We can hardly live on $l.90 a
week. Who can? I am thankful
for that little amount, but would
rather work for my living.
I hope you publish this and
somebody might make me happy by
giving me job-thank God.
I am Times reader and have
been for twenty-five years.

RAPS LANDLORDS FOR
HIGH TAX SQUAWKS.
By FairpIay.

By Fairplay.
Now that owners of real estate
temporarily have ceased their usual
'squawking" about high taxes and
their same old story of not making
anything off their rentals, would
like to suggest that if these property
owners first would show little more
respect and consideration for their
tenants, they might have reason to
expect more sympathy and con-
Sideration themselves.
The following is my own ex-
perience with one of those So-called
poor" property owners: I occupied
one of his eight houses for six years,
paying monthly rental of $22 or a
total of 1854 for the period, at the
end of which time, I lost my
position. Then being unable to pay
my rent in advance, Gas had done
throughout the six years I occupied
his house, promptly was ordered
to move.
The taxes on this property
amounted to approximately 1852 for
the entire six years. During this
time only $11 was spent on up-keep
and this was for the papering of
two rooms. Any one readily can see
Of course, that this owner made not
only enough off single piece of
property to pay for upkeep and
taxes, but also cleared $1,321.
It is a known fact that landlords
absolutely have no consideration for
even the best tenants. Their favorite
slogan is pay up or get out" Own
ers are so selfish they would prefer
to see their houses stand vacant and
rot down, rather than favor the
renter by reducing the rent to a
figure which he would be able to
pay.
I think it is only fair, therefore,
that property owners be compelled
to carry their share of the tax
burden, and especially those who
have property for rent. The latter
well can afford to do this, and at the
same time it may serve the good
purpose of making them less
calIoused and self centered but more
considerate of the "other fellow" At
least, it will give them some idea OF
Just what it is like to pay out
money occasionally instead OF
always receiving it.

SUGGESTS PROBE OF
CWA DISMISSALS

BY An Ex-CWA Worker.
am an ex-CWA worker. I
have been reading the paper about
all Of the men who are being en-
ployed, but failed to notice any
thing concerning the government
workers who are being laid off. 1t
was my understanding that there
was to be three months work for
every one employed.
I worked three weeks and in those
three weeks I drew one full pay.
There was no investigation as to
who had families and who did not.
The lay off was put up to the bosses
and the bosses kept their favorites
and friends. I, personally, know of
young men who are working and
have no dependents. Their parents
or parent are working also. This
happened on the Fifty-ninth street
and Allisonville road. All lay-offs
will bear investigation.

STREAMS MAY HOLD
LOST LANTERN SECRET

BY Times Reader.
I read in The Times a few days
ago that our city officials were dis
tressed over the disappearance of
so many red lanterns. They might
add a few torches to the list.
If one recalls driving out the
Bluff road summer and fall, they
probably found the road blocked at
Raymond street with a squadron OF
red lanterns and torches. The next
day the blockade was back again
with some shiny new lanterns.
We wonder where the other Ian
terms went. If the worried Off
Gals would don a pair of hip boots
and take minnow seine-they
would need seine, because
that is the way some of the Ian
terms were found. Take little
cruise out to White river bridge and
Raymond street. There they might
seine out a few more lanterns.
OF course, the boys who were SEM

themselves dragging out lanterns
and torches instead of minnows.
Probably if the worried officials
could remember who they ordered
to open the road each time they
might discover how the lanterns
disappeared. We wonder who has
the contract selling the city Ian

Well, who wants to haul bunch
of lanterns around, anyway. Easy

is a lot of water around the city.

more of the lost lanterns.

"a CIVILIZED RECORD

II ECENT records disclose that the customs
~ bureaus censorship over imported books
is emerging from its historic cave into the
light of reason.
Judge woolsey's brilliant decision on
ulysses reports the national council on
freedom from censorship, and the release by
the customs officials of Peter Neagoes Storm
and the paintings OF D. H. Lawrence indicate
that the lag between official and general NOR
ais is diminishing. If George Moore's "A Story
Tellers Holiday is released, the customs bu-
reau will present thoroughly civilized rec
ord"
The customs bureaus escape from the sane
titled stupidities of the past is due, first to the
Cutting amendment to the 1880 tariff act, pro-
viding for court appeals from customs rulings
and, next, to the prevailing spirit of tolerance.
The postofhce department, however, still
rules our minds and holds censorship rights
over the second-class mail. Postal censors are
active, and recently ruled from the mails as
obscene copies of nature cult magazine.
The national council on freedom from CEN
sorship is preparing bill asking congress to
apply the Cutting amendment principle of
court appeal to postal rulings. This measure
should advance the land of the free another
step toward adulthood.

Contemplation

Behind this cast of elemental pride
Of human beings, articulate and

With stifled speech, ultimate and

A keener understanding of our rise
From budding bloom, and yet to

From rolling dust to loving enter

Until at last we seek the road, and
find the turn,
And crush this scattered vagueness
into living burn.

collie AND CASTOR OIL
ARE OUT, DOCTOR SAYS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. october 26.-Babies
don't have collie any more. This
trouble, which all the present adult
world survived, lis fast disappearing
as a clinical entity" the New York
Academy of Medicine Graduate Fort
night was informed last night by
DR.. Rustin Mcintosh
The familiar symptoms of a small
infant drawing up its knees and ex-
hibiting a tight stomach, he said, are
not the signs of collie, as once supposed,
but normal reflex"
The wise modern physician doesn't
look for "colic" when he sees these
signs, but for hunger first, spelling
second and then disease.
Violent. protracted crying is not
necessarily harmful. DR.. Mcintosh
said, but warned that no mistake
should be made-that physician
should make sure the baby had no
organic cause to cry.
Another warning was against the
time -honored remedy, castor oil"
True collie, DR.. Mcintosh said, Is
being relieved more and more by
therapeutic starvation and hot-water
bottles instead OF the oil.
