More than $500 unemployed
Washingtonians applied for unem-
ployment compensation up to
noon today after the District of
Columbia Employment Center
opened at 928 Fifth st. N. w.

A few of these persons were
waiting outside of the temporary
office as soon as it opened. The
crowd steadily increased and by 9
O'Clock, C. E. Lamson, director of
the service, estimated more than
1000 had applied for relief.
In order to avoid confusion and
save applicants the inconvenience
of waiting in line for hours, envel-
opes were passed among the
group containing applications to
be filled out, together with COM
plete instructions as to filing.
40 CHECKERS ON JOB
With 40 interviewers working to
handle the applicants, John A.
Marshall, director of the District
Unemployment Com p ensation
Board, who also was present when
the office opened, explained that
all applications received this
week will be considered as having
been received today.
Each of the interviewers, he
added, are able to handle only
one person in about 10 minutes,
so consequently it will take several
days to properly interview even
as many applicants as responded
today,
Half of the interviewers are
handling those for unemployment
benefits. while the balance are in,

There is no way at this time,
Mr.. Marshall explained, to deter.
mine how many Washington rn.
employed will be entitled to insur-
ance benefits. Those eligible must
have been employed for at least
13 weeks during the past year.
The maximum amount paid to any
individual is SIS a week, and this
amount is limited to 16 weeks in
any year.
Applicants applying this week
for unemployment compensation
checks, it was explained, will not
receive their check until January
81, since the law requires wait
ing period" of three weeks after
application. Those receiving jobs
during the waiting period, it was
added, will not be given compensa-
tion checks.

it would have to take the blame. Congress
ignored his injunction. He now says Congress
must take the rap; that it has prevented him
from balancing budget, which he knew, as every
one else knew was impossible to balance in the
period he promised. He then denounces "fear"
psychology, and picks the press as the goat for
that "fear' psychology. He agrees to recon-

but extortionary.
LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED
Yet, to date, relatively little has
actually been accomplished in
Washington in the way of large.
scale, low-cost public housing.
In some of the larger cities, most
notably in New York, steps have
been taken in the direction of pub.
lie housing.
But by and large, the cities of
this country have not even begun
to scratch the surface of the hous-
ing accomplishments in Europe.
Public housing has come to be
an accepted social fact abroad. It
is no longer considered socialistic
to build homes with government
funds for workers. Construction
of workers homes and apartments
in England has come to be a
regular function of government.
The "Marxhof" in Vienna is well
known for the comforts it pro.
vided for workers. And in Swe-
den, government aid to coopera-
tiveS is looked upon as a most
democratic procedure.
GEARED TO NEEDS
For a long time in this country,
production has been geared princi-
pally to needs of the upper and
middle classes. The other segment
of the population, described by
President Roosevelt as the one
third that is "ill-fed, illclad and ILL.,
housed" has not participated in
the consumption of luxury items
nor in any other products of the
country's markets above the
mereSt necessities.
This principle, however, is un-
dergoing change under the direc,
tion of the Administration, in face
of changing economics.
The country's markets can no
longer prosper when a large por.
tion Of the country's citizens are
not consumers. Stimulation of
housing is a natural outgrowth of
the attempt to make consumers
out Of the lower one-third.
Thus, it has resulted that the
Government has taken on the re-
sponsibility of sponsoring public
housing and stimulating private
enterprise for the construction Of
new housing developments.
GOVERNMENT ACTION
The activity Of the Government
has evidenced itself in the Admin
iStration's housing bill for the
stimulation of private construc-
ton of small homes, now in Con-
gressional conference, and in the
creation of the United States Hous-
ing Authority, which is charged
with subsidizing municipal con-
struction of large-scale, low-cost
housing developments.
Most of the housing develop
ments which have been con-
structed by the Government have
been planned on the premise Of
complete amortization of the costs
on construction. Because of the
high cost of land and materials,
the rents, which were to have been
geared to the pocketbooks OF low.

In 'Rabble Rouser' Role Next?

The position from here on is setup for Mr..
Roosevelt to come rushing forward. in the wake
of his errand boys, who have done the dirty work
of creating fear by their misbegotten, psyche
pathological invective, guaranteed to rouse the
passions of masses of citizens worried by layoffs
and pay cuts Of a fresh recession, to cry: "See,
they won't let me save you. Give me the power,
and I will give you justice and jobs"
What is going to happen if the Government
does take over? Do the politicians know how to
run the milk business automobile industry, steel,
shipping, railroads, textiles? Can the Govern
ment guarantee jobs to all these people now
being laid off?
What Mr.. Roosevelt is doing once more is to
knock down the people who produce living for
others. In addition, he is selling out the people
who followed in blind belief he was Messiah.
With collapse now, we will not have one group,
but the whole democratic system, folding up.

GladiOluS Culture.

When to plant-Do not plant too
early. The ground should be warmed
up somewhat If planted while the
ground is still cold they will not
bloom any sooner than if planted
two or three weeks later. In Mime
sofa May l to June l is all right.
Where to plant-The ideal place to
plant is in garden in which there
are no trees, shrubs or anything to
shade them or take the moisture from
the ground. If planted in the border
or beds on the lawn be careful not
to put them too close to other strong
growing plants.
Kind of soil-Glads will grow in
most any kind of soil from light sand
to heavy clay, but a sandy loan is
the best. Be sure there is good drain
age. Glads like lots of water but will
not stand wet feet. They do not like
lime.
Preparation of soil-Unless your
soil is very good it is a good plan
to manure it well the fall before
planting, using cow manure. If you
manure in the spring be sure the
manure is well rotted and spade it in
deep enough so the bulbs will not
touch the manure Acid phosphate is
considered the best fertilizer to use at
planting time. Put this under the
bulbs being sure that it does not
touch the bulbs.
Distance apart-If you are planting
in beds, put the bulbs about six inches

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Dancing can be very fine form
of human relationship. 1t gives ex-
preston to an urge for rhythmic
movement, for sociability and group
fellowship, that can be, and often is,
delightful and charming. 1t can be
enjoyed with the purest of motives,
and it can be a fine and positive part
of a young peoples program. Those
who can see nothing but evil in
dancing have, for other reasons, de-
prived themselves of a fine exper-
fence.
But dancing demands favorable
attitude and environment in order
to be enjoyed in the right way. I'm
favorable circumstances can change
it into an undesirable activity. Pub
lie dances without supervision and
dancing in tavernS and road houses
form a menace to the moral health
of young people who attend. No
young man who respects his girl
friend and partner should bring her
into an environment other than the
best. And no good home cares to
permit young people to attend social
functions where they are not sure
that the spirit and the environment
are acceptable.
For this reason clubs and societies
attempt to sponsor dances where the
young people may engage in social
activities in a good way. But such
sponsorship faces two difficulties.
The one is the necessity of soliciting
support in order to clear the ex-
penses. When this support fails so
that the activities cannot continue,
some of the responsibility for
Strengthening the power of the road
house must fall on those who failed
in their support.
The other difficulty is the penetra-
ton of undesirable elements. To
come as a guest to young peoples
activity and to destroy the spirit of
the affair with boisterous and annoy
ing conduct is something that self
respecting person would not stoop to
do. And to indulge in liquor before
attending such function is as much
an insult to your host as it would
be in the case of private visit.
A person who drinks at a dance
cheapens not only himself but also
the partner he brings to the dance
and others with whom he may want
to dance. He shows an indecent lack
of respect for the personality of 9TH
ers. He shows his servitude to alco-
hol when he cannot enjoy himself
without it. He becomes menace to
social activities of the right spirit.
Our standard of respect for each
other should be high and pure. 1t is
lowered by the use of intoxicating
beverages at dance. And if we as
a community do not protest against
such lowering, it goes to prove that
our standards of conduct have been
regrettably lowered.

apart. If you plant in rows you can
place the bulbs two or three inches
apart. Then put your rows eighteen
to twenty four inches apart, accord
ing to the amount of room you have.
Depth to plant-Plant from three
to six inches deep. Shallow planting
will sometimes give you more bulb
lets and larger bulbs, but by deep
planting the plants will stand up
better. A small bulb should not be
more than three inches deep.
Cultivating- do best when
the soil is kept stirred often and no
weeds allowed to grow.
Fertilizing do not need so
much food as some plants. There is
such thing as OVERRIDING it. But
two or three light applications of a
mixed commercial fertilizer, richer in
potash and phosphoric acid than in
nitrogen, during the growing season
will help to produce good flowers
and bulbs provided it rains or you
water the fertilizer in we'll after ap-
plying it. Do not let the fertilizer
touch the plants. Better keep it cou-
pie of inches away.
Glads will get along with little
water but to do their best they should
have plenty. They will not stand
poor drainage, but if the drainage
is good they will take lot of water
and be all the better for it. Do not
water unless you do a good job of it
and soak the soil way below the
bulbs. A light watering does more
harm than good. A heavy watering
once week should be sufficient pro-
vided you cultivate the soil as soon
as possible afterward. Give more
water as they come into bloom.
Cutting bloom-When cutting al
ways leave four to six leaves on the
plant to mature the bulb. BY cutting
down between the leaves you can get
good stem and still let most of the
leaves remain on the plant.
Glads should be left in the ground
for at least a month or six weeks
after blooming to mature the bulbs
and produce bulblets. AS long as
the foliage is still green and healthy

For Bigger, Better PeOnies.

To be sure of bigger and better
peony blooms, one should practice
the principle of the survival of the
fittest. This means disbudding the
smaller, weaker buds to give every
opportunity for the larger, stronger
buds to grow and bloom with perfec-
ton.
Leave the largest bud, usually the
center one, and carefully cut off the
two outside ones which generally will
be found to be much smaller in size.
This allows the stalk to throw all its
strength to the remaining bud. The
result will be larger blooms on each
plant.
