A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
A Touch Divine.

Prone on some steps in the rain at dark,
Not even the Stats of bench in the park,
Averted face in an arm outfiung,
Hat and bundle beside him Slung.
Drunk" said cynic, with nostrils high.
Broke" said a bum, with watery eye.
Sunk" said fop, with half sigh.
young" said a woman. Il can't go by"
She went to the boy lying fiat in the rain,
Her face like an angels hurt by pain.
The size of her coin didn't matter much
The mercy of Heaven was in her touch.
AS she passed on in the city street
One who watched found the universe

factions of the intellectual life. The psy-
biologists consider that the payments
for private schools, books and magazines
are often for prestige, power and other
practical satisfactions, and they do not
credit the theaters and movies of 1929
with much intellectual appeal They do,
however, pay us the compliment of cred-
iting us with spending twice as much
for good will to man as from fear Of
criminals and other bad men, and OF
spending at least as much to win the
affection, of our fellow men as to have
the pleasure Of bossing them.
THE social sciences have somewhat
neglected the inner, or mental, wants
of men. Nourishing food. hygienic hous-
ing, medical care and relief from pain
and fatigue quite naturally have been
emphasized. But inner peace, content
nlent, a sense of personal worth, surety
of friendship and affection, the absence
Of fear and good conscience also are
real and important"

NEW DEAL AIDE INVESTIGATING
 HIGH FOOD COST
Dr. Walton H. Hamilton. One of Brain Trust"
 Protects Consumers

WASHINGTON. Dec. z7. - Dr. Walton H Hamilton, the Presidents adviser on consumer problems. is Washington's new mystery man." He has been a special presidential adviser since June 30, but only since the arrival on Washington desks of a pamphlet called "The Consumer" l" edited in his division, has the tickle Washington spotlight turned to him.
 It does so just as rumbles of dis content over the rising price of bread reach the capital.
 Commentators examine two facts and wonder: the rising cost of liv- ing, and the direct entre to the White House granted Hamilton whose particular worry is the rising cost of living.
 Stsff Gathers Facts
 His program includes these ooJac- tives: Inquiries into prices where trouble spots" keep the product out of the consumers reach; education of the public to use quality stand ards and to ask for grade labelling; advice to people buying cooperative Fly; and expansion of consumers councils
 For some time Hamilton's staff of [ six economists has been gathering facts about key industries; women's 5 dresses, shoes, tires, autos, ice and paper. When the surveys are done the facts will be made available to manufacturers and the people who buy from them. & Hamilton believes in making facts public He wonders, for instance, how many men who start factories to make women's dresses know the average life of such plant is only three years.
 He grins ever the industry dod- dering along with machines which are 30 years old on the average. He OiIlAho dliCy COulQ Scl IlOiC db lONtfi prices if they kept up-to date. "Just An Adviser
 But, he points cut, he has no power to go in and say, You're gath ering moss Junk it" He is just an adviser But he believes in advice.
 MIRA, goodness knows, m e enough mistakes he says, but it did make business men think in larger terms; about whole indus tries instead of single plants"
 He grins at the cynical suggestion that facts may not force the ineffi- cient manufacturer to change his Iroutina.
 You'd be surprised how many business men are intellectually curi- GUS enough to give us help he says. This week two of the largest organ izations in the country offered us the free use of their books. We will study one set to find out the average

At the start of the year the relief population numbered 20,659,647 per- sons, an all-time high. In September 1t fell to about 1600C,o00, but new climb was expected during the win ter.
 Record Relief
 The record relief population, in cl1ding about one cut of every seven persons, may not have startled John Smith, used to big figures these years. But the sum to provide work, an- nounced by President Roosevelt and appropriated later, may well have taken his breath away. It was $4,880, 000000.
 The new program was designed to provide work for 3,500000. Industry, it was figured, would absorb another 3,500,0o0 Part of the appropriation would be used for tapering off the dole.

By HERBERT YAHRAES (AcssaiateJ Pres Staff Writer

' (Aa aiated Pres Staff Writer) AThe average citizen looking over the family budget, had hard time deciding how 1885 had affected his psrsonal fortunes and what the years economic developments portend.
 John Smith heard the farmer was doing better, industry was producing more, the stock market trend was up- ward, the movies were showing mill lions into productions, the world series drew big gate, the Baer-Louis fight gave Broadway it's first golden evening in years, football attendance was up 10 percent.
 Many Unemployed
 5sWas the depression really behind? s He heard also that an army of un- employed numbering millions re- naained at the year-end, that the ecst of relief was running into bil- liens, that the attack on major new deal' legislation continued.
 Was there trouble ahead?
 John Smith could get any answer he wanted, depending upcn what politician he asked, what statistics he consulted.
 se-He was told that in the first eight months of 1885, the total income of workers rose 5.6 percent, but labor economists argued that during the same period living costs went up 50 percent.
 On November 5, retail food costs for the country as whole were 6.5 percent higher than on that date a year ago. Rental costs were up slight ly, said the department of labor, but there was little or no change in the clothing prices.
 Employment was up,too. The gov ernment's bureau of labor statistics said the factory employment index reached in October was the highest in five years, and the factory pay iou index the highest in four and half years.
 Industries Gain
 
 But John Smith was told the ear Her introduction of new automobile models this year accounted for some Of the October gain.
 Most important fall employment sains were in these industries; auto mobile, blast furnace, steel, rolling mills, machine tool shops, furniture and knit, woolen and worsted goods. Employment figures remained low in brick, tile, marble, granite, slate and cement industries, in railroad repair shops, in locomotive building. in hardware, in lumber. There were more jobs, but still far from enough to go around.
