TOday's BOOndOggle

In his freside chat with nationwide radio audience last
Sunday President Roosevelt announced with pride that he had
aocad $2500O0O of relief funds to the United States En-
poymen Service Behind this lies the story of
of the most amazing boondogges perpetrad by the
New Deal This is the story
While the WPA responsible for the bulk of the Admins
raions work relief program there 38 other
agencies actively engaged in spending relief funds fast
the Treasury borrow thm and among these agencies
the United States Employment Service division of the De-
parment of Labor.

cut figure and appropriated $3200O00 for the service
Congress appropriated 0000000 for work relief and
turned it to the President to spend
AS this is regular agency in regular department. its
fiscal needs regularly budgeed and Congress makes direct
appropriations for it.
Although this $4OOOOO0O0O to be used exclusively

and with this the employment service set about to hire
needy persons That nearly year On July 25 1886

mined effort was made to set up
Christianity in the country.
A center OH ford front which
missionaries could proceed not
only north, south and east, but
cross the river into the west af-
forded an ideal spot. Priests began
to stay at the site and with the
grant of lands to these jealous
missionaries, the place developed
into a community and became the
seat of a Saxon monastery.
INTERESTING HOUSE
In the last quarter of the Sev-
enth Century, a bishop was ap-
pointed to have authority and
WiogeranceaStre gradually became
Worcester, an important bishopric
that increased and proSpered.
One of the most interesting of
Worcester's houses is the King
Charles house on New Street,
which stands practically as it was
when King Charles stayed there.
The massive old oaE beams, the
carving, the old staircase and
paneled walls tell a graphic story
of the fine building of the Six
teenth Century. The attic with its
bricked floor and the cellar with
its Roman walls are also extremely
interesting.

WORCESTER

THIS YEAR some friends of
ours from Worcester. Mass, made
a pilgrimage to the namesake OF
their town in England. Their
enthusiastic letters certainly
should beguile many of their
townsfolk with the desire to make
such sentimental pilgrimage.
Even if one doesn't come from
Worcester, one would enjoy a
visit to this prosperous and an
cient English town, situated on
the banks of the winding river
Severn, in England's rich Mid
lands region.
AN OLD TOWN
The origin of Worcester goes
back to prehistoric times.
Through the centuries it has al
ways been a place of conflict, as
the stone and flint arrow heads
and other weapons found there
attest.
These were found near the
landing place of the ford on the
west bank, which shows that the
story is one of invasion and of
possession for a strategic spot.
In the seventh century a deter

Pleasure and Sport

Washington goes slightly nautical this weekend with
the running off of the tenth annual Presidents Cup
Regatta
Unfortunately the city is not alive to the opportun
ties which it enjoys for water sports it might be-
And equally unfortunately the opportunities have not
been developed to their fullest extent.
Both of these things will come in time, however.
It is to be hoped that the many visitors who are
attracted to the city this week by the sail and power
will be able to notice improvement of conditions
on the Potomac over previous years.
STIMULATED BY THE EXAMPLE OF THE
PRESIDENTS CUP REGATTA THOUSANDS OF
WAsHINGToNIANs HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR
RETIREMENT OF THE RIVER AND FOR A
FULLER USE OF THE FACILITIES WHICH 1T

They have been working industrously and have made
some progress during the last year-over the decade
since the first regatta was held the progress has been
apprecable.
But it is still necessary to ask our visitors attracted

The Greatest Show On Earth

Iburn tallow. The oxygen is soon
used up. It means death-the
wiping out of the race of the
Indians of AlSaka unless some
drastic action is taken.
But that is only section of this
great country. The Government
can and is changing this situation.
In the States that have reserva-
ton and into which the United
States Government is pouring
money to see that they are well
taken care of and that they take
care of themselves now that civil
cation has taken their Forest from
them, the Indian population is
increasing.
Maybe the Indians will rise and
take the country back to it's origi-
nal owners. Would New York city
accept payment of the miserably
small amount the Dutch paid for
Manhattan?
The Washington times., 1936-09-24

cariously held government at that
cause them to abdicate and bow
themselves out?
It didn't seem reasonable, and
apparently it wasn't. French
rightiSts have benched Colonel de
la ROGUE as a potential iron man
and are warming up jacques
Doriot, mayor of st. Denis, a
former Communist, to lead their
reaction. which is daily becoming
more organized and overt. Their
new group is carving off large
chunks of De La Rocque'S Fascist
Croix de Feu. There's low poll
tical barometer in France.
Seven stories down under the
earth in the Bank of France there
are on shift, day and night, three
men with specially sensitive nos
trils. Besides them are sensitive
instruments. Men and inStru-
ments police the air inflow for a
whiff of poison gas. For like
poison gas is the pervaSive fear
which creeps through Europe as
civil war RACES or impendS.
There are between fifty and
sixty billion francs worth of gold,
in coins and bars, in the bank
vaults. The bank is fortress.
Never before in the history of the
world have there been so many
Strategems, so great a bulk Of steel
and concrete, guarding so much
treasure.
SYMBOL OF SECURITY
Gold is the oldest human SYM
bol of security-almoSt the only
one. Swastikas and fasces flare in
the wind. Misty ideologies rise
and spread like a tule fog, but
gold - ponderable, timeleSS - is
sunk deep in the earth. Old FAT
mir in the Niebelungen Lied knew
what to do with it. He sat on it.
So does France, under the dom
nance of either right or left. The
grim, sombre bank building,
erected in the jittery hangover OF
the war, is the arcanum of power
in France.
The four Diesel engines which
pump the air to the hundreds OF
underground workers have fuel for
two and one-half months. There
are food supplies and dormitories
which enable the staff to with
stand a siege of the same period.
Three stories of the buildings
are above ground, and seven
under ground. Around the huge
structure is a high, plain board
fence, with a sign, post no bills
And "toss no bombs" they might
have added.
Workers descend through a
long shaft. 1t is zig-zag, so that
a bomb from above could drop
only a few feet, and could not rip
open the treasure house below.
Workers enter through a single
opening, processed one by one

I'm SO, little boys and girls.
And there aren't many spots I've
skipped since April 80. 1883. I've
minced about on some of our
Best Mahogany-I've gumshoed
through some of our grimmeSt

that for nesty, courage,
brotherly love and general de-

WHERE TO LOOK

Relegated to the cold typed an
nouncement of newspaper
obituary and yet a martyr to the
cause of conscience.
Virginia Ray Jenckes, %,
daughter of Virginia Ellis Jenckes,
Representative for the Sixth Dis
trict of Indiana.
An example of the truiSm that q
politicians life is not an easy one.
In 1882 Virginia joined her
mother in the campaign. The
strenuous work drew on her nerv-
GUS energy. She fought but she
pulled through.
The 1895 campaign. Virginia
just out of distinguished finish
ing school, Ferry Hall, at Chicago.
Joined her mothers staff in the
office at Washington. She was
secretary. But, in name only.
Representative Jenckes is op-
posed to nepotism. Therefore her
daughter was not on the Govern
ment pay roll. But she opened
every letter her mother got. And,
she worried.
Came letter from constituent
who was dissatisfied with the
Democratic Administration. Vir-
ginia was disturbed. She worried.
Into the primary campaign she
plunged. Her mother, idol of her
eye, faced opposition-bitter per-
sonal opposition. They said she
smoked. They said she used rouge.
Her mother.
The daughter worried. The
mother expected it. She had faced
the wolves and learned that their
bark was much worse than their
bite. The daughter was afraid
for her mother.
The strain was too great. She
became i'll. Mother and daugh-
ter took a cottage at Stone Har-
Dor, N. J. She got worse. They
went home to Indiana. She got
worse. They came back to Wash
ington. Blood transfuSionS.
Emergency treatment. She died
at 4 a. m. The first victim of
the 1886 campaign. There will
be more. Who will be next?
