Welfare Department
 "Recovers" $2,5OO
Claims Filed Against Estates of Persons Aided;
 Single Men Present Unemployment Problem

Discontinuance of the Mutual Aid and the inability of some of the single men to get on the WPA may possibly be one of the main req sons for the increase.
 On the other hand, Mrs. Verdon informed the board, applications for eco jobs are falling off. This is un- usual in view of the fact that the eco quota here is 100, yet the single men are not taking steps to fill this quota. Only 65 applications for eco places have been received.
 The welfare department, accord ing to Mrs. Verdon, formerly sent single men to Brookside home or to St. Johns barracks when they ap- piled for aid. Now they are being given a regular supply of food and clothing and rooms are obtained in private families for them.
 During the past month the de- partment recovered $2,500 from es- tates of persons who have been aided in the past by the charity department.
 The board presented Welfare Commissioner John J. Kilduff with desk get in recognition of his re- cent, appointment as city sheriff The presentation was made by Commissioner William Traurig.

about twenty-five times that of the sun. Arcturus is easily found by ex- tending the curve of the handle of the Great Dipper in the direction opposite that of the bowl. At map time the Dipper will be found with It's bowl not far from the zenith, stretching toward the northeastern horizon. Where the handle ends, the constellation of Bootes begins.
 Named Independently
 Within the curve of the Dipper's handle lies a group of stars that were once also considered 8 part of the Great Bear, but which were la- ter separated from the Bear and in- dependently named. These stars are the constellation of Canes Venatici, the Hunting Dogs, apparently pur- suing the Bear. The brightest in this constellation is sometimes called Cor Carroll, the heart of King Charles of England; but this name is not generally used. It is a par ticularly noteworthy star, as even a small telescope will show that 1t is composed of two separate stars, ono of golden and the other of bluish color. It is, indeed. one of the finest colored pairs in the heavens. This star is physical system of two stars, or suns, moving about one afl- other or, more accurately, about their common center of gravity, in periodic orbits. The distance of this binary sun from us is about two hundred light-years and its bright ness, despite it's great distance, be- tokens high luminosity. Like Spi- ca, 1t is greater radiator of light than Sirius. Unfortunately.the most interesting object in the constella- ton of the Hunting Dogs is not visible to the naked eye or even in a small telescope; we refer to the

~Store. Also of Irish background,
he emerged as distance runner
with Irish-American groups in the
Bronx, and qualified for the Olym-
pics. The marathon, a few hun
dred yards over 26 miles, started
at Windsor Castle and finished
at the stadium at Shepherds
Bush.
For the first 10 or IS miles, the
British runners led, but one by one
they floppedT and the field was
left to the logged little Irishman,
paced by a friend on a bicycle.
Toward the end, there remained
only Hayes and Dorando Pietrl,
known only as Dorando, with the
latter leading. AS they neared
the stadium enclosure, Johnny's
bicycling pace-maker was stopped
by a bobby" who told him no
bicycles would be allowed in the
stadium grounds. He hung the
bicycle around the policeman's
neck. This so stirred Johnny'S
Celtic humor that he had to stop
to laugh, and the leading Dorando
gained a few strides.
HAYES NOW COACH
1t was necessary for the run
nerS to make one circuit Of the
stadium before finishing. Dorando
made part of the turn, fell, picked
himself up, ran q rod or two and
fell again. Ten or fifteen men, in
cluding a British race official,
dashed onto the track, picked him
zap and carried him across the line,
just ahead of Johnny Hayes. The
crowds roared their acclaim OF the
Italian victory and the Italian flag
shot up on the staff.
The Americans, taunted by the
Cockney yellS from the stands, were
foaming with rage, and ready and
eager to tear up Windsor Castle
by the roots. For two hours the
uproar continued and then the
Italian flag was lowered and the
American flag shot up. Johnny
Hayes was summoned to the royal
box and the queen presented him
with a 60-pound Statuette.
British race officials were fair,
barring the excited men who
helped drag Dorando across the
line, but the crowds were almost
out of hand. There were brass
knuckleS on the hands across the
sea. I remember reading in both
British and American newspapers
Of the day some of the most in
temperate invective I have ever
seen in print. All over a mere foot
race!

years old, is a salesman for fruit

Henri st. Yves, a Paris taxi driver,
beat them both. In these matches
and in vaudeville, Johnny cleared
around 100000. Just now, he's
with the American delegation at
Berlin, coaching the distance men.
It will be interesting to get his
long-range views on international
sportsmanship when he comes
home. Are we, internationally,
learning better behavior, and do

ancient Hellenic ideal Of fostering

ecule or boredom-or countless
other tests and trials which may
expose our weakness. Whatever
the fear. we lie to escape it
Little Bessie Jones lies to be
popular. young Eddie White lies
to be thought smart. L. their elders
lie to escape painful consequences
or tiresome situations of various
sorts. But always the lie springs
from the same cowardice. And al
ways we're slaves as long as we
are bound by cOwardice.
There's only one thing that
will release us from the slavery:
there's only one thing that will
permit us to walk the world as free
men with our heads held high. .
AND THAT IS THE TRUTH.
TRUTH AND PEACE
The Truth DOES set us free. It
may not set us free from market
crashes. from droughts or floods
or our neighbor'S malice. These,
and many other unhappy circum-
stances in life, may be entirely be-
yond our control. But none OF
these miSfortuneS can really Get
Us Down If we are free from our
own fear.
And the Truth WILL set us free.
I have told some pretty smart
lies-or so they seemed at the time
and gotten by with them. have
seen others tell even smarter ones
with more spectacular success.
But, of course, none of us really
succeeded with our lies, for they
did not free us from the only mis-
cry that actually mattered, or CD
tain for us the only prize we really
desired.
Those lies did not set us free
from our own fear. We we're as
afraid after we told them as we
were before. and as Shackled.
But every time I have told the
Truth, an amazing and beautiful
thing has happened. 1 WAS SET
FREE! Instantly within me there
was peace where there had been
disorder, pride where there had
been humiliation, freedom where
there had been bondage, and
loveliest of ala new confidence
in myself. a singing 6esire for
larger, braver life.
The truth WILL set you free.
The Truth will give you a fresh
start when all the old tricks have
failed. give you a new grip when
you've taken the whole count. 1t
DOES work. Try it!

ing the handy materials for ILL.,

speeches of the last few months,
everybody is behaving amazingly

of the above, the games will
come off this year without the
customary hangover of i'll will
and contention. That remains
to be seen.
It is a sad but indisputable
fact that the Olympic games have
not been harbingers or dispensers
Of brotherly love. They usually
stir up at least one first-class
international ruckus. The light
ing and later extinguishing Of the
Olympic flame marks a noble and
beautiful ceremony, but, like
badly disciplined children, we re-
turn to our back-biting. and each
country, usually, is rating one or
more others as a bad sportsman
before the games are over.
If things are as gemutlich as
they look over in Berlin, there is
marked here a great human ad-
vance. That was a grand shindy

FLAG NOT DIPPED
They were a bucko lot, each
man with a chip on his shoulder,
and it seems providential that
the games didn't start a British
American war. Arthur S. Crockett
who covered the games for the
New York Herald, fills me in on
details of that historic Olympiad,
an event which makes the present
games, in their most bellicose
aspect, seem like a lawn social.
James Sullivan, whose very
name seemed provocative to the
British, painfully touchy on the
Irish question just then, was a
prominent member of our com
mittee.
Even before the games started,
it seemed that at least a British,
Irish war would enSue. Britain

journalists and they were tauntD
