HOusc-"an' he'll fix things. He's doin' his best, ain't hc?'
 NUMBERS WORRISOME
 It is not their political beliefs but their increasing numbers which worry EZRA officials. For despite two years of the New Deal, despite a definite pickup in prosperity, the line of men in the breadline continues. They are not derelicts. They are not unemployable. And yet this Christmas the line was longer than last.
 There are two definite reasons for this:
 Boys, who have served their year. in CCC camps are being sent home. If conditions at home are not improved they prefer to stay away. The life! of a trans tent, moving from one city to another, offers the lure of variety and the chance of find- ing job.
 >Also, the standards of care in transient bureaus are attrac- lively high.
 ''Sure, they treat you right, here. Give you sheets Oll the bed 1.-two sheets, three meals a day, and classes i'm Spanish, if yO like that sort of thing. An the beds ain't lousy, either.''
 It is not an unconditional haiid4out, however. Unless man can get on the sick list, he must do four hours Q day in the wood yard. Still; it is a better life than he would have at home.
 In. the transient wood yard squad there is q Cornell gradu- : ate in the s'pest squad" Which does cxtefniinating work for needy persons, is n Dartmouth lief. ,Es "
 Louisiana is popular with transients, Florida is unpopular. Doserters from Florida relief camps claim they are put in a chain gang. There are few or no Jews among transients. Southern Railway "bulls" have a reputa- ton for, relentless :, efficiency. Pennsylvania railroad and B and o bulls 'are more ,lenient.
 In spite of the careful check ing system. occasionally a man will be seen sitting down+to a second plate of beans in a new quarter. of the transient dining room. He has slipped into the line again.
 MISSION FOOD
 Transients say that mission food is better but they don't like the preaching that goes wit it. The rails are preferred by those who are in hurry. The high ways by those who like to stay clean. There is no slouching in the transient dining room. Every man removes his hat before sit ting at table. When a press cameraman takes a shot of the men at Christmas dinner, some duck. to. conceal their faces. There is tacit comradeship among, them all. If a man suc-

The Holyoke mountain range may soon offer to the public park dedicated to the memory of the late Calvin Coolidge, thir- tieth president of the United States. The area would include perhaps both Mt Tom and Mt Holyoke, which overlooks Am herst College. It is appropriate in view of the fact that the late president was graduate of Amherst and spent many years of his life in Northampton, when public duties weren't summoning him to state and national capitals. Incidentally the plan includes rescuing the mountain ranges from further invasions of trap rock quarries, which already have spoiled tho natural beauty of many a beautiful mountain.

A Book a Day
A Trip To The Place Of Eternal Darkness
BY BRUCE CAPTION

William Beebe tells about his trip to the ocean depths in a new book, Half Mile Down." and he writes as a man might write who had visited the mountains on the other side of the moon.
 For this amazing descent in T hollow steel ball to the black depths of the, sea has been, clearly, window, to another life, a glimpse at marvels such as no man can look upon without being for ever changed. u
 Going down, says De Beebe, the spectrum is progressively drained of its colors. Presently all the sea is rich, luminous blue-a miracle of warm color, seemingly brighter than sunlight, fiaw1ess in it's clarity, unforgettable in it's beauty.
 Then. as the sphere drops on down, the blue deepens and dark ems. At 2,000 feet the last trace of light is gone. Then comes blackncss-a blackness more pro- found and impenetrable than anything dreamed of in the upper world. Never before. he says. had uc Tchizen WHut tnc WOFu DlhcH really meant.
 But this blackness is Inhabited. The old belief that the abyssa depths were almost lifeless Is com. | pietely untrue. The blackncas is specklcd with . myriad tiny lights ns gaudy fish. each 1t ID like an ocean.lIner. swim by; and now md then tho vague. unlighted outlines Of some unidontihable sea monster is Riimpsod in the distance. There is not space here Co TO. late a tenth of tine inarvols DI Deebe describes. Let it suffice tf say that his book lH nn incredibl, interesting thing, filled with beaiit, and wonder.

ceeds in "bumming" a cigarette. there is little likelihood he will smoke 1t at all. A buddy will ask for the butt. And he again will share the butt with still an- other.
 Of deep concern to officials here is this fact that standards of local relief in most cities are such that a single man finds he can fare better on the road. Thus the transient bureaus find them selves in the position of increas- ing transients by the high stand ard of care they maintain.
 Unquestionably, however. most of the men would prefer work if they could get it.
 Finishing his Christmas dfn- ner, one lean customer walks up to the counter where the sign reads, Return dishes here"
