~HE is an amazing person, this Cyrena
Van Gordon, of the beautiful face and
superb contralto voice. She can talk
~ to YOU 50 enthusiastically about recipes

the glamour of her career as singer.
Her voice first attracted attention when,
as a vivid, dark haired child. she sang IN
the Sunday School cantatas of the small
Ohio town where her family had been estaD-
lished for several generations. Later came
~training in Cincinnati and then sudden
leap to fame in opera in Chicago, an almost
unheard of achievement for singer trained
wholly in the United States And today Miss
Van Gordon is one of the finest contraltos
to be heard with the opera in New York, on
concert stages throughout the country, and
over the radio.
She has never lost the unspoiled respon-
siveness to life and people that is part of
her Middle West heritage. Warm-hearted,
friendly, vigorous, amiable under even the
most irving circumstances, she is honey

ON JObLESS LIST
Green Declares Only 80 Per
Cent of Depression Unem-
pIoyed Are at Work.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Only 80 per cent Of the depression
unemployed have been put back to
work, although business has regained
half Of its depression loss. the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor said yesterday
in issuing November employment
figures.
William Green, federation presi-
dent. said the decline in employment
for November was smaller than usual
for that month. He estimated the
November unemployment at 1l,672,-
1877, against 1l,448,9S in October
Last year the figure jumped from H.
212,690 in October to 12,580,535 in
November.
Workers Increasing.
Green's explanation of the dispro-
portionate ratio beyond industrial and
employment recovery was:
while chronological improvements
In industry are steadily reducing the
number of workers necessary to pro-
vide all the goods and service industry
can market, the number Of men and
women who want work is steadily in
creasing."
These developments" he said. do
not mean that industry cannot give
work to all who want it.. There will
be more than enough work to be done
in the United States to give every
wage and salaried worker a job and a
good living If % workers buying
power is increased sufficiently to lift
the geenral level of production above
any we have known before, and 90
work hours are further reduced"
Employment Holding On.
Saying lay-offs from October IS to
November IS were 174,000, Green add
ed that it indicated employment was
holding its own better than in any
of the last six years"
This is due largely to the fact that
in manufacturing industry and on
railroads, lay-offs have been less this
year than last, and farmers have given
more employment to hired laborers, ="
he said.
1.-THE change in automobile manu-
featuring schedules this year also has
helped to avoid November lay-offs, for,
while the industry laid of 5000 work.
ers in November last year, it took on
$4,000 this November.
while this Improvement in the
employment situation is encouraging,
little hope is promised as yet for the
ll,672, 900 who still have no place in
the normal industrial or agricultural
work of our country.
"Our revised unemployment esti-
mate shows this number still out of
work in November, 1885, after re-
duction of only COS, 900 in the Army Of
unemployed since November, 1884"
