is to tell its fascinating story, at the popular Sunday evening pro- gram at the Methodist church this coming Sunday night, September |22. What the Goodwill Industries do is hardly "charitable", in the
 usualy-accepted meaning of the
 word. They have provided em- ployment for thousands of men and
 women who otherwise would be in dire distress, many of them people who are considered "unemploy- able" because of physical handi- caps, in the general world of busi- ness.
 The Goodwill Industries have a plant and stores in New Haven, where, in 1884, with products largely made out of so-called
 waste materials, almost fourteen thousand dollars was realized, most of which sum went into salaries for Goodwill employees. The Goodwill people collect old clothing, furni- nous Goodwill bags, from homes willing to contribute what would otherwise be discarded or junked. The transformation which Goodwill workers can bring about in such discarded things, making them sal- able, useful, and desirable, is afnaZ- ing.
 Tn New Haven, Goodwill operates an employment and placement bu- reau. Included in those receiving help was graduate student work ing for his doctorate at Yale, an unemployed graduate of @ women's college, several widows with chill dren to support, some having chill dren in high school. Especially noted has been it's service in help ing business and professional men who are temporarily out of em- ployment, and in ministering to
 several people past 70 who were
 too proud to ask for relilef. In addition to the splendid relief
 work, the Goodwill Industries of
 New Haven are doing a notable piece of work in religious education among foreign-speaking people,
 and have been the means of bring ing a number of young people from lforeign-speaking groups to leader
 ship in various New Haven churches. MT. Mahew's address on this sub- ject, presented as 1t will be ab-
 eolutely without any appeal for funds, will be enlightening and in-
 structive and entertaining. Visitors
 are especially welcome at the
 friendly evening services held Sun
 days in the Methodist church at I7:46 D. m.

Ickes Says He's Never

international Nsws Service

Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes today declined to comment
on former President Herbert
Hoover's criticism of PWA pend
ing further study of the former
Presidents speech last night.
His only comment was, when
asked if the former Presidents
reference to Administration
leaders as "playboyS" was justi-
fled, he replied:
"WelI, now, wouldn't refer
to Mr.. Hoover as a playbOy.
"Mr. Hoover used a qualifying
adjective. 1 do not want to COM
ment until I have read his
speech"
He pointed out that PWA had
greatly stimulated" the steel in
dustry, for one, creating 100000
900 man hours of labor. He added:
"a total Of $26O, 100000 of PWA
funds has been spent for fabri-
Gated steel products, exclusive of
equipment purchased by con-
tractors. 1 do not believe any
steel company would be. in a
position for expansion, such as
the $4O,OOO,OOO plant expansion
announced by Jones and Laugh
lin, Of Pittsburgh, without PWA
business"
The peak of PWA employment
under the new PWA program, he
said, will not be reached until next
july.

LENIENCY is ASKED
AFTER JURY VERDICT
Precedent Established in Police
Court Case Against Father
of Attacked Girl.

Acting without precedent. a Police
Court jury recommended leniency
after returning a guilty verdict We'd
nesday against Lawrence L. Del Re,
who was arrested some time ago for
carrying a concealed weapon during
q criminal assault trial involving his
6-year -old daughter.
Del Re, who lives at 1924 Kenyon
street, was arrested after he was found
to have a revolver in his pocket while
sitting in the District Supreme Court
room where Francis H. Harding was
being tried on a charge of assaulting
Del Res daughter.
According to Deputy United States
Marshal George Killeen, Del Re al
1egedly stated he had armed himself
because Harding had threatened his
life.
Del Res conviction followed Sic
ceSsful efforts of the Government to
keep from the jury the reason why
the defendant had appeared in court
with the gun.
Court officials expressed belief the
Jury must have learned the circum-
stances under which Del Re was
armed before asking leniency for him.
Judge Ralph Given, who presided in
the case, will pass sentence tomorrow.
Because of Del Res arrest mistrial
was declared in the Harding case. He
will be tried later.

CHICAGO. May 10.-Palm prints
of newborn babies were described to-
day by DR.. Gilbert p. Pond of Oak
Park, H., as the best positive method
of identification to safeguard against
mixed identity. His studies, he said,
led him to discredit the value of
toe, finger and foot prints of babies.
he and associates made DR.. Pond told
the Illinois Homeopathic Medical As
sociation they concluded that the
footprint method now in general use
in hospitals was valuable only psy-
chologically for parents.
He said ridges in the palm remain
the same throughout life, making it
possible to use the same prints for
Identification purposes at any time.
To test this method for accuracy a
collection of 500 palm prints were
made from newborn babies by DR..
Pond. These were labeled with the
mothers name. Another set of so
were made at random from the same
group of babies and were not labeled.
Each of the so unknown prints was
easily identified, he said, within to
IL minutes.
Probably the most famous case of
mixed babies in Chicago was the
Bamberger-Watson tangle. After the
youngsters had been taken from the
hospital identification tape on them
was found by the parents leading
them to believe the infants had been
switched. Turmoil followed in which
blood tests and extensive studies
were made of babies and parents by
physicians and scientists, and court
was called upon to make a decision.

at q special session Of the Legislature
last month, becoming effective at

The measures, written into the

Federal work relief funds received

2. Dictate the finances of all local
governing agencies in the State. and,
3. Place his men exclusively at all

TOO BAD FOR HUEY.

Huey Long, Senator from Louisiana showed himself in his true light when he filibustered in the United States Senate, killing the appropriation for putting into effect the Social Security Act which would have provided for the aged and crippled. Long is let it be said nothing but an ambassador for Huey P Long. He cares not for those who are incapacitated and cannot for themselves. His theory is Long and his henchmen and now is a good time for the American people to know it, even if it does untold hardship for those unfortunates who cannot take of themselves.
 Heretofore Huey has been character of fiction, a breeze in the night that does harm, but now his true potentiaties revealed. His selfishness surmounts his capacity for humanitarian.

In the meantime the Roose- welt Administration will do the best it and probably appropriate money out of the relief funds to provide for those who must be cared for.
 The admittedly great Long in the interim will espouse the cause of his Presidential candidacy. Fine thing it is that the Senator has revealed his true coors America will not be led astray by his wild spouting now. The people will know him for what he is selfish individual seeking glory. It's too bad for Huey, but great thing for the rest of the country.
