Federal Bureau Reports Two
Million CoIored On 81 Relief

WASHINGTON, Especially The
proportion Of Negroes, 16 to 81
years old, who want work is
greater than the proportion for the
white in an urban relief population,
according to reports coming in to
Harry L. Hopkins, federal emer-
gency relief administrator, from his
staff OF research and field workers.
ers.
Explanation is Given
The greater proportion of Ne
groes on relief who want work, as
compared with the whites, is due,
it is believed, to the greater per-
centage Of Negro woman than Of
white women seeking work In
both races, 81 per cent of the men
and boys Of working age on re-
lief want work, but in the Negro
relief population, "a per cent OF the
women and girls want jobs, near
ly twice the proportion Of white
women and girls in this category
(thirty-four per cent).
These figures would indicate that
more Negroe women than white
women have been forced by &c
onomic circumstances to consider
themselves as work-seelxers than
as housewives.
Of 100000 Negroes on relief in
towns and cities Of the United
States in October, 1894, more than
/ $50, 900 were estimated to be be-
tween the theoretically employable
ages Of 16 and IS.
OF these, more than $4,000 OF
1870, were looking for work or de-
monstrating their employability by
holding non-relief jobs Though the
resulting incomes were SO small as
to make supplementary relief nee
essary1. Only 2496 of the Negroes
on relief, of the theoretically EN-.
playable ages, were disqualified

ANNISTON, Ala.-Anniston is
a city of 22,5OO population with a.
bout six thousand colored. It is
located in the northeast section of
Alabama in the mountain area, and
is purely an industrial center.
Chief among its varied industries
is the manufacture of pipe. Nearby
is a prosperous farming territory.
During the entire depression, there
has not been a bank failure here.
Economic Conditions Good
The economic condition is es-
pecially good, compared with other
Alabama cities. There are q col
oIed places of business open and
doing business. There is yet some
relief work, but at least rs per
cent of the colored people are en-
ployed.
The pipe factories which are
gradually opening, hire so percent
of the coiored people; 5000 are en-
ployed in this industry when the
mills are going full time.
Racial Relationship
Inter race relations here are con-
sidered good for Alabama. There
has never peen lynching in the
city. It is often told here how on
one occasion a mob attempted to
storm the jail. A brother OF the
sheriff was a member of the mob.
The sheriff warned him to retreat
or he would be killed." and the
mob dispersed.

' popular diversions Of the
Summer was amateur helmet diving,
made possible through the Govern
ment Aquarium on Harrington Sound.
Although not new idea, this Is
the best opportunity the public has
been given to enjoy this unique sport,
and hundreds OF sightseers. including
many women and children, have taken
advantage of the privilege, bulletin
from the headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society says. The
bulletin further describes the expert
ence:
After visiting the aquarium, one Of
the finest in the world, more adven-
turous ichthyologists add to their ac-
quaintances among Bermudas fish
families by descending beneath the
clear, calm waters of Harrington

Divers on their first descents are apt

suit and sneakers, the novice may eye
with apprehension the strange-looking
metal helmet with its snakelike air
hose. The helmet, fianked with lead
weights, rests heavily on the shoul-
ders, but as soon as one ventures to
descend the gently sloping sea floor,
and lower ones head under the sur

THE secret of its carefree affiuence
is that it supplies almost all the

The palm seed is public monopoly
on Lord Howe Island, and the income
from its sale maintains the entire

The unique taxation system calls
for the payment of s25 annually by
non islanders. but participants in the
palm-seed industry pay no taxes on
their property. Islanders who have an
outside income of more than $l20 a
year are taxed by having their share
in the communal palm seed profits
reduced by one share in eight, thus
more or less equalizing the wealth
of all.

NEW YORK, March 2 G.N.S0.
Police protection was afforded to
three friends of the late Violet

against their lives.
The three, who testified at the
murder trial of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in Pennington, were
told in a vindictive poison pen
letter:
'"YOu will taste blood within
two weeks"
The three threatened with
death are Catherine MINERS, "a,
of Palisade Park, N. j.; Ernest
Miller, of Bergenfield, N. j.. and
Elmer Johnson, of Closter. N. J..
The letter, unsigned, was re-
ceived by Mr.. Johnson, but Miss
MINERS and Mr.. Miller were in
cluded in the threats.
1t was these three who took
Miss Sharpe, maid in the Engle-
wood, N. j., home of Mrs. Dwight
w. Morrow, to a roadhouse in
Orangeburg, N. Y, on the night
of March /, 1882, when the Lind
bergh infant was stolen from his
