It's Dangerous for BOys

IN the moral tone of the country the influence of
woman, now that she is a full partner has
achieved no improvement which is perceptibe to the
naked eye or ear. On the contrary it might even
be argued that far from elevating the world the girls
nave been contaminated by their contact with it.
Certainly they do a lot more swearing than was
considered decent when they were yearnng for
equal standing at the polling places and the hearth
est appreciation of the dirtiest songs and repartee
OF the moSt depraved entertainers in the polite re-
sorts Is pitched in the shrill, alcoholic cackle of
plastered. but respectable womanhood
AT the time when the girls were campaigning for
the ballot this sort of hunor considered to be
something for the gents only and any male who had
told or sung any such tale in the presence of the
would have been put down for cad and more than
likely, for a casualty.
This IS becoming serious because man wishing
TO drop in some place for little smulant nowadays
can never tell but that he will stumble into room
1ul OF the girls having an afternoon out and hear
SomeCnlng that Will cause the blush of embarrass-
ment to mantle his cheek
Probably they ought to put signs over the ladies'
saloons For Ladies Only Then if a man should
insist on going in, he would have only himself to
blame II he heard language unfit for male ears.

This was confirmed in a recent
meeting of FERA regional direc-
tors. Several stated that if re-
lief were abolished in their dis
trict there would be revolution
within a few weeks.
This also is the private view
Of Harry Hopkins. And there is
no question as to where his SYM
pathies lie. Recently he said:
Our work is a process of edu-
cation, showing the INDECENT needy
that they have right to a de-
cent subsistence"
And at recent conference of
FERA leaders he added: UNLESS
you realize that this is fight
between the HAYES and the
'have-nots,' you do not belong at
FERA headquarters.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT al
Il most got a note at the recent
Gridiron Club dinner that would
have intrigued him considerably.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was
a guest at the dinner, and during
the course of the evening asked a
waiter to deliver a note to Mary
lands tall, white-crested former
Gov. Albert G. Ritchie, who was
seated some distance away.
The note read:
Dear Governor: Sister Alice
Mrs. Alice Longworth) is giving a
little party for some friends aft
or the dinner. She does this aft
er every Gridiron dinner and
would like very much to have you
come"
Mr.. Ritchie wrote the following
rely:
Dear Colonel: Please tell Alice
I will be very glad to join her
after the dinner"
The waiter who had delivered
Young Teddy's" note had depart
ed and Mr.. Richie beckoned to
another.
DO you know Col. ROOSEVELT"
he asked.
Yes, sir"
Give him this note, please"
The waiter took the note and
started to move away when Mr..
Ritchie stopped him.
You are sure you know Col.

reply. He is the President"

Just Another Politician

] TP to this time the woman who is active in poll
~ tics has seemed to be pretty much the same sort
OF politician as the man, and the enfranchisement
OF the the women appears only to have created that
many more ordinary Republicans and ordinary DEM
ocrats In Washington, the woman politician de-
mands her job as a reward for having played the
same sordid political game that the men play and
IN the wards and precincts she distinguished from
the gents only by her sex.
Certainly she has taken no leadership with the
single notable exception of the fight for the repeal
OF prohibition in which Mrs. Sabin made good the
promise in limited way, then to retire abrllptv
as though the whole job of woman had been done
The lady job-holder, as every politician and re-
porter on the political run is aware is animated by
the same cheap greedy personal ambition that con-
trolls the actions of the abominabIe males and the
lady precinct workers sole motive in politics is to
deliver the vote, elect the ticket and get what is
coming to her.
II there has been any change in the wav of sani-
taton That is something which only an expert and
an optimist could point out. The ladies voted for
Jimmy Walker along with the men, they voted for

Furnishings for the buildings
have been built on the ground, or
supplied from other relief centers.
Long-idle schools are being
opened for the children of the 500
families. Community entertain
ment and games round out the
working days.
THIRTY hours work a week
l. brings food, shelter, and
clothing, some amusements, and
residents may stay as long as
they like, provided they do their
share of the community work.
The men and boys eat in the
dining-room of the abandoned
hotel. Families draw their rations
from community Storehouse.
Bread for the entire village is
baked in the hotel kitchens, where
student bakers learn the art from
those already skilled. Life has be-
come worth while for these 500
families.
On an even larger scale, the
same thing is happening across
the continent at Transient City.
Here are no families, but only
men and boys, selected from the
most able and best-fitted residents
of other transient camps.
Here are no problem cases, no
physically handicapped men, but
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-25

able citizens whose only handicap
has been unemployment.
They have whipped abandoned
old FIT. Eustis into busting COM
munity. There is telephone
system and exchange, a steam
laundry, a fire department and
patrol system, a bakery, dairy,
shoe shop, central heating plant,
and shops equipped for wood
working, furniture, sheet metal,
plumbing, timing, and clothing
repair.
A LANDSCAPE gardener who
L n came to the camp trans
formed the grounds about the
main buildings, and a natural
amphitheater is being converted
into an outdoor auditorium.
A movie theater seating 1000
shows pictures three nights week,
with self-made entertainment,
boxing, wrestling, on the other
nights. There is a 12,000-volume
library.
Transient City has what
amounts to a city government.
The men are divided into compa-
MES Of 60. Each elects a captain.
Every morning at 10 these cap
tains meet with the camp director
to thresh out any problems that
may have arisen.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-25

The same story is being told at
what used to be FIT. EustiS, Va.
Here is a division of 10000 SOL
diers trained during the World
War. And after that the gov
eminent used Fit. Eustis as
prison camp for Federal prohibi-
ton law violators.
WITH repeal. FIT. Eustis was
w abandoned Deterioration
set in. Rust and weeds began to
assert their claims.
Six months ago the FERA took
it over, and now nearly 1000 men
are rebuilding it into Transient
City, a great experiment in help
ing men to create for themselves
a life worth living.
Let's first look over the ground
at Clyde. Here the FERA has
taken over its so vacant bunga-
lows and its 175-room hotel. The
shovel. mattock, hammer, saw.
and paint brush have already
transformed the seedy ghost
town" into a bright, active COM
munity.
Land has been leased nearby,
and spring gardening plans are
under way to supply Clyde with
its own vegetables this summer.
A nearby 2OO0-acre ranch will
supply meat and milk.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-25

The men work 80 hours a week,
with half of Saturday and all
Sunday free. They are housed,
fed, and given work clothes and
81 a week. They come and go at
will, and may leave at any time.
Few do.
VOCATIONAL training is large
ly informal, though it is
planned to have more formal
classes later. Among the residents
are many men skilled in diverse
lines of work, farmers, tradesmen,
concert tenorS, college graduates,
blackface comedians, saXophone
players-practically every line of
endeaVor is represented.
Those who have Skills are as
signed to the work that they can
do. Those who have not are as
signed to help them, and they learn
in the most practical of all schools
experience.
Thus, in these two newest
"citieS," experience and expert
ment, plus intelligent government
backing, are laying out the lines
for hundreds of the other Federal
transient camps which are the
governments effort to bring hope
to the wandering men who were
beginning to lose that last and
most essential human possession.

the morals OF the big cities were decidedly unsani-
tary in certain segregated sections. There were
crooks in public office taking orders from corrupt
ing spots the San Francisco Barbarv Coast and
the Chicago Line were constant menace to the
moral and physical health of the children of the
women. When the women got the vote they we're
going to see to it that their children received de-
cent government from their masters and vice the
monster was going to be seriously disabled If not
slain.

improvement in the politics and morals of the coun-

NEW HOPE FOR u. S. HOMELESS
Hundreds TH1ung to Transient Cities Thrice Wholesome Work
ByNEA Serrice

NJ y a HeFtfCe
WASHINGTON, April
%. - Maybe you've
never slept in a hobo
Jungle" OF made a meal off
''mulligan" stewed up in an
old tin can. Maybe you've
never been ION the bum"
If not, then it'll be hard
for you to appreciate what
the government has done
and is doing for the men
and the women who have
been made homeless by
hard times.
The hobo jungle" and the
'Hooverville" shack town are on
the way out, thanks to govern
ment activities on behalf of tran
sients. in the course of which 260
suburban camps and 280 city tran
sient centers have been built.
They have come close to elimi-
mating the floaters and wild boys
of the road" who swarmed the
country in 1882.
Nearly $4,000 people were be-
ing helped by these transient CEN
tiers on Feb. Is, the date of their
last census" BY far the largest
part of these are unattached men
without families or homes, but
10000 families are being so helped,
and more than $500 women.
n n
THE age of those "disinherited'
i begins at 16 and the number
and percentage of the whole rises
rapidly until the ages from %
to "a are reached-and within
those ages are "a per cent of the
total.
What status the transient camps
will have under the new work
relief program is uncertain. All
energies have been bent toward
improving the physical plant of
the camps during the last few
months, installing better sanitary
and cooking equipment, and reliev-
ing overcroWding.
Possibilities in such camps,
properly run and equipped, are
well shown by visit to the two
newest "cities" in the United
States.
One is Clyde, Cal. The other is
Transient City, Va. They are the
pride of the whole system of
camps for transients.
Both these "cities" are built on
the ruins of wartime projects of
1918.
A T Clyde, the government con-
L n structed a "barrack city,
during the World War to accom-
modate men who we're working at
the Bay Point shipyards.
When the war ended and the
need for ships ended with it,
Clyde became a deserted village"
of weed-carpeted and cracked
pavements, dried-out stucco bun
galows.
Now 500 men and their families,
under direction of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration,
are working together to brighten
up Clyde into new city, and
brighten their own futures at the
same time.

fun Is IN seeing horses run. Some
times they come down the stretch
like squad of cavalry. They flash
across the line noses apart. A
blanket could cover them. But there
is always one who has kicked off

thousands had come to Jamaica intent upon losing
their shirts and they would not ne denied in spite

Usually I INDECENT and non aggressive. The

half a mile from the Enclosure to which had been
admitted. Between me and this haven lay the lawn
covered with sea Of downturned faces. Neverthe-
less like Farragut, Columbus Marco Polo, l
clutched my two-dollar bill and said: Damn the
tOrpedoes." Then I went ahead.
For the most part I used a straight power play
between guard and center. Naturally the defense
frightened as 1 neared the goal. Sometimes 1 was
held for no gain or temporarily thrown back. And
yet there was no dminution in my determination
to bet two dollars on Chin Up, a 2-year-old which
had never started. Nobody had told me about
Chin Up. 1 had heard of him before and 1
don't care if I never hear Of him again. But have

tried to split the line Just as l reached the high
where Rogan sat the crowd was so great that II
knocked him from his perch.
He annoyed and announced that he would
take no more bets for the present. He was prepared
to deny the milling throng the privilege of going to
bed without its supper. Then he spied and we
have been friends for years and so he made the SUI
preme sacrifice and took my 81 on Chin Up.
1 worked my way back to civilization just in time
to see the horses crossing the finish line Chin Up
was not among them. Like myself he is just an old
nature lover and he out merely to get good
lock at the blue skies and the flowers.
1 have no intention of condemning the betting
system which prevails at Jamaica. In fact think
it is most ingenously contrived to temper the wind
to the shorn lamb. All the poignancy and bitterness
of losing has been eradicated. 1 remember saying
