and our fathers fathers cleaned up
the old order of things because it
killed children, because it killed

ginning. There is nothing wrong in

COLLECTOR ROBBED
AGAIN BY HOLD.UPS
Two Men With Drawn Pistols
Take Box of Change in
Early Robbery.

Mervel A. Hutsler, so, 1852 Ogden
street, collector for the A & w Hot
Shoppes, was robbed of $3.50 early
today when held up for the second
time in little more than seven months.
Two men, with drawn pistols, took
from him a metal box containing the
sum as he stopped near a branch of
the Shoppes at 1910 Fourth street
northeast. Hutsler was preparing to
take change to the establishment for
use during the day. before making
the days first collection there.
AS he started to get out of the
truck a man stood on each side and
one of them took hold of the money
box, Hutsler said. II first thought
some one was joking with me until
one of the men pulled at the box.
pointed pistol at me and said give
me this bag" Hutsler related. The
robbers fled across a vacant lot in the
dark and escaped.
Hutsler said he had just unlocked
the box to get at the change when
held up. The box is a strong one, he
said, and otherwise the men would
have had difficulty in breaking it open.
Last June 8 Hutsler was robbed of
a sum, he said. of about $1,7O0, by
two men who forced his truck to the
roadside about five or six blocks away
from where today's robbery took place.
Then, after securing the money, one
of the men took the ignition key from
the truck before driving away IN an
automobile.

Figures Show No Big
Saving in Relief to
Be Accomplished.
EY PAUL MALLON.

"VERY one seems to have jumped
- to the wrong conclusion about
President Roosevelt's relief
IL curtailment program.
It may be a shame to inter-
rupt the universal cheering about the
big Federal saving he is going to make
by transferring unemployables on the
relief roll back to the States, but 1t
appears there is not going to be any
saving worth mentioning.
If you dig into 1t, you will find that
the States have been contributing
34.4 per cent (roughly one-third) Of
all relief monies so far. That Is the
exact extent of their contributions
during the 81 months ended last Oc-
tober /. 1t comes from Reliefer

figures.
Well, the total number OF un-
employables tDhich Mr.. Roosepelt
says he is going to make the States
care for. hereafter, Is 1900, 900, or
roughly third OF the 100000
heads OF families on relief rolls.
Even a sixth grade mathematician
can figure out that 1t all adds up to
the same thing. The States are now
caring for roughly a third, and. after
Mr.. Roosevelt gives them the unem-
ployables, they will still be caring for
a third.

BOY KING GIVES MOTHER
BIRTHDAY SEWING SET
Peter Saves His Pennies to Help
Widowed Queen Observe
S5th Natal Day.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, January 9.-Lttle
King Peter helped his mother, the
widowed Queen Marie of Yugoslavia,
celebrate her 35th birthday anniver-
sary today.
The event, however, was saddened
by memories of the recent assissina-
tion of King Alexander.
For three months little Peter has
denied himself candy to save his
pennies in order to purchase a sewing
set for his mother as a birthday gift.
His little brothers, Tommy and Andi,
gave flowers.
The qneen mother has received
many birthday fluctuations from
friends tn Europe and the United
States.
Evening star., 1935-01-09

You may not have noticed it, be-
cause no one else did, but Mr.. Roose-
welt did not say anything about
saving.
What he said was that the Federal
Government must and shall quit this
business of relief. Then in the next
breath he told about putting 10000
unemployables back on the States. He
also graciously added he would help
the backward States to care for them.
OF course, most people assumed that
the Federal Government was getting
out of the relief business, at least
to the extent of 10000 bread win
ners, and you would hardly expect a
New Deal press agent to come out
with a denial of that Interpretation.
The fact is the States will pay just
about what they have been paying,
the Federal Government will pay
about what it has been paying and
the taxpayers, who support them both,
will pay just about what they have
been paying.
Possible Difference.
There may be one big difference.
The 34.4 per cent figure represents the
average contribution by all State land
locaD funds. Some States and local
tiles have not been able to pay that
much of their relief bill, while other
States have paid more.
For that reason, it appears Mr..
R0osevelt'S program will ease the pres
sure on States which have been paying
more than 34.4 per cent but increase
the burden Of those which have not
paid that much.
Such States as Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina,
West Virginia will have to dig up more
money, probably with Mr.. Roosevelt,s
promised assistance.
States like DelalDare, Io,Ud, Kan
sas, Maine, Massachusetts, NeU
Jersey, NeW York, Connecticut,
California piH find that their obH-
cations to the 100000 unemplOy-
ables are not as great as their
present payments.
OF course, no one yet knows how
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to segregate and
allocate the unemployables. He has
been asked the question several times
and has indicated that the plan In not
yet fully worked out.
Similarly, there is the question about
some States having more unemploy-
ables than others. but the determina-
ton of that will require higher mathe-
matics, if not magic.
