RELIEF KEEPS UP WITH JONESES'
Watching for Rebeaters Among Problems at Transient Shelter
BY ARCH STEINEL

THE Jones family tried to
gang up on contributors
to the Indianapolis Com
munity Fund.
And because Oshkosh
Jones and Los Angeles
Jones turned out to be one
and the same in left-hand-
edness as we'll as in a droop-
ing right ear it can be
chronicled that Mr.. Jones is
not forking extra food with
: that left-hand or pounding pill
low an extra night with that right
ear through the largess and
generosity of the charitable folk
of the city.
The Joneses, and no offense
meant to the goodly Joneses who
do not travel as twins and with
twin birth, places, are a couple of
anathemas to Mrs. Anna r. Ma
honey, social worker in charge of

old Community Fund Transient
Bureau, 214 N. Senate-av.
Withdrawal of the Federal
Transient Bureau, and closing of
government shelters throughout
Indiana, have placed the respon-
sibility of the highway and train
wayfarer on the individual COM
munity.
GO while Mrs. Mahoney solves
~ the rise of the "Joneses" in try
ing to get an extra nights lodging
the bureau she conducts with
Ralph Story, night director, is
solving for Indianapolis the prob
lem of caring for the men-with-
out-homes who make this city
their port of call.
Under the banner of the Federal
government the transient was as
sured a home wherever he might
roam. Two shelters in Indian
apolis rested his aching feet,
bedded him, and fed him.
Today, six weeks after the Fed
eral government relinquished it's
care of the transient, he is still
assured a nights lodging and food
but the morrow must find him on
his way unless illness or some
other reason prevents his leaving.
DUT gloom does not mark the
- 80 to as transients who flock
to the city each day.
1t is pointed out by r. C. Wer-
ner, Federal transient bureau di-
rector, that transients need not
ride the rods" blinds" or tops"
to search for a job. They need
not apply to the bureau headed by
Mrs. Mahoney and Mr.. Story for
aid. If they are sensible they will
remain in their own home To-
Gale and receive work on WPA
job, he says.
But the saga of the etching
foot" and the wanderlust, despite
government work projects, is not
halted by words or overnight Wis
its in "hoosegows."
Before the visit ends, private
charity, through the Community
Fund relief agencies, has guar
anteed to spend an estimated rs
cents on the transient's lodging
and food 1or one night, and to
furnish him with medical care.
If it happens he is a man with
a family and his motor car has
run out of gas he may be given
sufficient gasoline to carry him
goodly distance toward his home.

many a monkey wrench into the

dose of his own medicine.
A secret plan is on foot to force
him to pass on the validity Of

the clayton Act by requiring peo-
pie who use its machines also to
buy it's cards. If they object to
this, I. B. M. charges a higher
rental.
The card printing business
amounts to 100000 or 100000
yearly, and Uncle Sam and other
users would like to be free to print
their own cards. AS it is, they pay
I. B. M. rentals running as high
as $500 a month on single ma
chine, totaling $90,00o,0OO in the
last 10 years. Machines can be
rented only, are not for sale.
The Justice Department won the
first round when Judge Woolsey
entered a decree enjoining I. B. M.
from requiring its cards to be
used with it's machines. The case
probably will go to the Supreme
Court.

A GA KHAN has gone to India at this time to cele-

Mohammedans with f1ve-day festival starting Jan.

some money, and he is expected back at Villa Terp-

course the racing season will find him again in Eng

a miracle some time with lmping old hide at
the price of 100 to l.
There are several reasons why Aga Khan puts in
most OF MS time In Europe. He likes the sporting
life for thing and for another it isn't wise to
stay around where people can look him over every
day. The Emperor of Japan. who is God, too has to
stay indoors most of the time so people can't see
much OF him, and Aga Khan doesn't like to stay in
doors He likes to get around. Already in Bombay
there is rival group which wants to depose Aga

He owns one of the greatest

his craftsmanship is such that he
never resorts to miracles on the

of the game.

because it takes no great imagination to picture the

several lush ocean mail contracts
negotiated during the Coolidge
and Hoover regimes. McCarl is a
Republican with reputed presi-
Dental ambitions.
Recently the Postoff1ce Depart
ment began testing the speed of
ships carrying mail to ascertain
whether they met contract re-
quirements. Out of II ships
tested, only three came Up to
specifications.
A group of House liberals led by
Rep, Otha D. Wearin,. scrappy
Iowa Democrat, contend that this
failure to meet speed minimulns
automatically cancels the govern
ment contracts. Ship owners
deny this; claim that the only
penalty which can be imposed is
a fractional cut in poundage
rates.
Under the law, McCar1, as the
Federal auditing officer, must
pass on all government payments.
So far he has taken no action on
the ocean mail matter. To force
him to- declare himself Rep.
Wearin is drafting a resolution
asking McCarl for a formal ruling.
Note: McCarls 15-year term
expires this year. Under the law
he can not be re-appointed, but
there is a movement under way
to amend it so he could be re-
named. The liberals, very much
opposed to him, hope the ocean
mail controversy will furnish
them with potent ammunition to
blast his chances Tor re-appoint-
ment.

Columbus, Ohio. Opportunity for
Ohoans to assist in supporting and
extending the statewide program of
the Ohio Society for Crippled Chill
dren which sponsors q program Of
physical care, special education, voca-
tional training and guidance and en-
ployment of The crippled will be
afforded this spring when the Ohio
Society for Crippled Children partici-
pates for the first time in the annual
sale Of Easter seals.
These attractive seals are sold only
at Easter time-the official dates in
Ohio being from March % to April
6. Proceeds will be shared by the
Ohio Society with its local commit
tees. A small portion goes to the
international Society for Crippled
Children.
Following endorsement Of the seal
campaign at the recent annual meet
ing of the Ohio Society, strenuous
preliminary work was undertaken by
Walter B Underwood, executive sec
retary, with the help Of Miss Amanda
A. Thomas, newly appointed field
secretary, and Miss Frieda Moore,
office secretary at Columbus head
quarters, so West Broad street.
Soon everyone will be made famil-
iar, through newspapers, posters and
many other forms Of publicity, with
the appealing design of this years
seal. Adapted from a cartoon by Dom
ahey, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
it depicts crippled lad with his
crutch, sitting on the threshold Of
the door of opportunity.
Above is the campaign slogan,
Open Wide the Door, and below, the
supplementary words "for Crippled
Children" AS BELTS Easter seals,
lily motif is used in the border, and
pastel shades of orange and purple
give a vernal effect.
Looking beyond the seal sale to
the efficient use of its proceeds, Sec
retary Underwood Is proceeding on
the basis of county committees which
he is forming rapidly as branches OF
the the Ohio Society. They will not
only offer seals to the public, but also
will continue as year-round groups
to help rebuild crippled bodies in their
communities.
Truly a pioneer in all such endeav-
ors has been the Ohio Society, whose
formation at Toledo in 1919 anti
dated the International Society by
two years. Active in organizing and
maintaining both lay groups have
been Rotarians of Ohio. The state
work now is being expanded to m
clude other service. welfare, civic and
