MORE CARS
REGISTERED
THAN EVER

Figures released by Chicagos
City Collectors office reveal that
more cars are registered in the
city now than ever before. over
GA, 900 more passenger cars are
using Chicago streets this year
than last. During the first nine
months OF 1886 city licenses were
issued to 458,196 passenger auto
mobiles during the similar period
of last year only 394,226 licenses
were issued.
Nearly a hundred thousand more
cars are using the streets and bou-
leyards at this time than in 1884.
Figures of the city collectors Of
flee show that 367,167 passenger
vehicle licenses were issued in the
first nine months of 1884.
According to the records the best
previous automobile registration
year was 1881, when during the
first nine months, 417,427 passen-
ger automobiles received city lie
censes. For comparative purposes
with this years figures it is inter-
esting to note that only 397 ,6S5
cars were registered in the city
during the first three-quarters OF
1929.
According to City Collector Louis
A. Rixmann, automobile registra-
tions are comparatively few during
the last quarter of any year. For
this reason the nine months regis
tration figures can be taken as irl-
dicative of the entire twelve month
period.
Registration of trucks has also
increased steadily during the past
three years. For the first IL 9
months of 1894. city licenses were
issued to 48,737 trucks - for the
similar period of 1885, the number
had jumped to 51,315 and this year
the registrations increased to 57,.
ia. More trucks are on Chicago
streets today than during either OF
the years 1929 or 1881 - in the
former year 56,720 trucks W r Q
licensed and in the latter 55,536.
For the benefit of Chicago motor.

Mayor Edward ]. Kelly and the

fees were reduced about 20 per.

THE SUPREME COURT

- has agreed to hear argu-

Of the Wagner Labor Rela-
tions act. Before m a n y
months pass, we may expect
"a decision holding that meas
ure unconstitutional.
In itself that will be small
loss. The measure is so poorly
drawn that the court, if it SO
desired, could hold it uncon-
stitutional, and by interpre-
tation m a k e it practically
valueless to labor.
What is important, how
ever, is that the right of Con-
gress to legislate on social and
economic questions be estab-
lished. With a court as reac-
tionary as the present one.
this will have to be done by
a constitutional amendment.

for presenting to congress
such loosely drawn measures
as the Wagner act.
In the past labor has typi-
cally waited for some liberal
legislator to draft a bill, and
then it has given uncritical
support. This explains why
so many measures. enthusi-
astically hailed by labor. turn
out to be of little value.
Labor will never m a k e
legislative progress until it
learns to draft its own meas
ures, using it's own technical
staff for that purpose.
Slow Political
Progress
In this campaign the Amer
lean labor movement has
made slow and painful pol1ti-
cal progress. Labor's Non
Partisan league, formed by a
group of unions to campaign
Metropolitan news., 1936-11-14

for Roosevelt, represents the
old non-partisan policy of the
A. F. L. carried out with Wig
or. One may disagree entirely
with the non-partisan point
of view, and yet rejoice that
at least labor has actively stir
red itself in this campaign.
1t would have been more
hopeful, of course, had the
league anywhere supported
labor candidates or nominated
candidateh of it's own. Even
in New York, where it's ad-
herents formed the American
Labor party, 1t failed to do
this. This failure makes it un-
likely that a genuine labor
party will ever grow out Of
this particular effort.
And yet there has been po-
Iitical ferment in the ranks of
labor that is all to the good.
The masses have been stirred
with political enthusiasm -
and perhaps, having had one
last fling at supporting old
party candidates, they may at
the next election nominate
candidates of their own on a
genuine labor party ticket.

Give To Unfortunate
Children Is Mayors
Plea For ''GOOd Will"


needy school children with shoes
and stockings and the luxury of
warm underwear and other suitable
garments so that they might not be
kept from school is again being an
swered by Mayor Edward J. Kelly,
founder Of Chicago's Own Xmas
Benefit.
Headquarters have been esta-
blished in Room 1927 at 33 North
La Sale and hope and expectation
are combined in the belief of May
Kelly and his co-workers that the
1896 intake will gain show an in
crease over last year in this gig
antic Yuletide benefit.
Mayor Kelly says that despite
the improvement in general busi-
ness and the unmistakable signs
of financial upturn, demands on the
funds this year will be great. The
outstanding features Of the 1886
program for the Christmas Benefit
will be the Chicago Championship
football game, Nov. %, in Soldiers
Field, and the varied stage-show,
"a Night of Stars Dec. Il, in the
Stadium.
The Mayor in this connection
states:
There Is no such destitution as
was to be found even a year ago;
but there is need. The proper clo-
thing of the little ones--those t
school age and those not yet ready
for school.-again seem to us the
best purpose to which we may put
every penny that can possibly be
raised through the football game
and the stage-show in the Stadium,
as well as from all other sources
open to the committee.
"The problem of helping others
exists in good times as well as in
times of famine and general need.
Just now the need Is marked among
the children and of the needy. The
Christmas benefit will again to a
high degree meet that need b Q
coming winter, as it has met In
each winter since the inauguration
of the fund four years ago.
''It would be ridiculous and I'M
true to say that the general need
for help Is to be compared with
what it was in 1888, when the first
of these benefits was prepared and
given; but the fact remains that
the children who need clothing
must have clothing if they are to
go to school; and we know that
school is not only the privilege, but
also the right, of the children, so
that we owe it to them to make cer-
tain that they lose none of their
righs. They must be warmly, COM
fortably, healthfully clad in attire
that bears no label or indication Of
its having been supplied through
charity. And four years Of expert
ence has taught us that an impor-
tant part Of proper clothing for
children is good footwear. Every
man and woman who knows what
it is to be a parent know also how
large a part shoes play in the daily
health and comfort of an active
child.
49," continued the Mayor, "our
hope is for benefit that will pro-
vide the funds with which to take
care not only of the $4,000 or more
school children figured in the Sept
ember estimate by Mrs. McCorkle
and other heads Of organized, year
round charities and social-service
groups, but also of at least $4,000
other children"

Brownell's Rise Fast.

of golf any boy has shown around
the city since the Roland Mackenzie

Shea is much the same way, although
Shea has been playing good golf longer
than Brownell. Indeed. in their high
school matches the record shows that
Shea whipped Bobby rather con.
sistently before Bobby had that Win.
ter Of golf in Florida. .
And I can hear 'em now, those
ambitious youngsters. saying to them.
selves, If that's what a Winter in
Florida will do. lead me to it." But
that isn't all there is to it. There's
lots of hard work and practice and
will to win and all that sort of thing.
But Winter in Florida does help.
There will be at least three invi.
tation tournaments, the Middle At

settled around Washington next year.

Careers About Parallel.

THE careers of these kids (Brownell
is II and Shea is 49, are parallel
in way. Bobby lost time from school
at Roosevelt High last Winter and will
graduate next Spring. Shea is q
freshman at Georgetown and a gradu-
ate from Western High of last June.
The two lads clashed frequently In
team matches over the past two years
and played lot of golf together. They
look from where we sit to be just about
as good pair Of boy golfers as has
come up in skill in a good many years,
and it won't be any complete upset Of
the dope If these two juveniles push
through the opposition next year to
win flock Of tournaments.
OF course, Billy Dettweiler is no.
bodys toy on any golf course. Big
and strong, the Dettweiler lad has it
in him to become one of the best
golfers anywhere. A few changes in
style, little more practice and he
can become very good. Among them
these three youngsters can do q lot
Of winning in any field.
Kids mature in golf very fast. No
better example of this could be found
than in the rise of Bobby Brawnell.
The tow-headed Bobby was a so-and-
so golfer last year, a kid who had
his good rounds once in a while. but
who couldn't consistently shoot down
in the low 70s.

xoUR 1887 golf ball won't be any

Y Jour 1887 golf ball won't be any
" longer than the 1887 edition
of the sphere which bobbled in
i and out Of the cup this year.
That Is, it won't be any longer off,
cially. Unofficially there may be q
yard or two added to the length Of
the golf ball, but it will come from
greater perfection in manufacturing
processes rather than from any delib-
crate attempt to step up the power
Of the ball.
The plain truth Of the golf
ball matter is that an extra
or 8 yards can be added to the
current sphere simply by wind
ing the rubber threads around
the core little tighter.
This can be done at any time, but
the United States Golf Association
frowns on it. To do this, in the opin-
ion Of the U. S. G. A., Immediately
would involve tremendously expensive
changes in golf courses to match the
