Politics and Labor

1t won't be long now before the
propaganda foodgates of politics are
thrown wide open for the 1910 cam
paign. Again, we say, let's keep our
feet on the ground. Let us not be
stamped one way or the other by
promises or charges. Let us, rather,
give a little thought to what ails us
as a nation and vote for candidates
who offer a constructive cure.
Unemployment, as word, is be-
ginning to lose its significance. 1t has
been used too much. 1t has become
too familiar 1t has lost it's horror.
But it is horrible! Just think of the
tragedy of a man or woman with a
family to support trudging the streets
trying to find honest work to earn a
living and being turned away from
every door. Think of what goes on in
that mans mind and that woman's
mind. Multiply that tragedy by ten
million and then perhaps we may get
an idea of the vast extent of this can
cerous sore in our economic system.
Unemployment is an emergency. 1t
is just as much an emergency now as
it was seven or eight years ago when
it first became acute. Prophets of
doom are willing to concede that be-
cause the emergency has lasted so
long it is now chronic-a condition
that will always be with US. This we
refuse to believe. We insist that some
thing be done about it. We insist that
all other considerations be waived in
the face of this emergency.
We know by now that Government
relief is not cure for unemployment.
Nor is Government pump-priming
They help relieve the suffering caused
by unemployment. But they do not
cure it. No one will dispute the fact
that the only way to cure unemploy-
ment is to provide jobs for the unem-
ployed in private industry. How can
that be done? 1t is problem for Gov
ernment, business and labor to work
out together. First of all, it is abb
solutely necessary to wipe out the dis
trust that now exists. Business dis
trusts Government. Government dis
trusts business. If we're going to keep
our feet on the ground, those boys had
better get together, and soon.

GIRL IS FOUND
'TOPSY TURvY'

A girl whose heart is on the
right side, instead Of the left, had
her appendix removed yesterday
from the left side instead of the
right.
Louise Maddox, IS, who could
easily earn the title of "Topsy
Turvy Girl" underwent the opera
ton at Emergency Hospital and
was doing well today-while ply
sicianS marveled at the position
of her organs.
Although Louise is a healthy
Specimen-in her junior year at
Anacostia High School-it was dis
covered by X-ray early in her life
that many of her internal organs
were on the side opposite from the
usual. Her liver was on the left
instead of the right; the spleen
on the right instead of the left.
And Louise is left-handed, too.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and

F|REMEN find
FIRE AT HOME

RIVERDALE, Md, Jan. 10.
Members of the local volunteer
fire department were called out
early this morning to put out a
fire in their own firehouse. And,
believe it or not, the alarm was
sounded by the fire itself.
Starting in the floor between
the first and second stories of the
brick building, the blaze short
circuited all wires and automat-
ically set off the siren, which
brought the firefighters rushing
to the scene in their night clothes.
Members of the department ex-
planned that a meeting had been
held on the second floor Of the
building last night and that some
one probably dropped. a burning
cigarette stump when they left
the building.
Damage was estimated at be-
tween 500 and 5000.

BEAUTY SHOP
Law IN TEST

Constitutionality Of legislation
recently enacted to prohibit
beauty operators from giving treat
ments in private homes will be
tested before amendments are con-
sidered.
The Commissioners decided this
today in the face Of a previous
commitment that a petition signed
by 200 women, including Mrs.
Louis Brandeis, wife of the Su-
preme Court Justice, calling for
amendments, had been received
favorably.
They took their stand on the
advice of Corporation Counsel Ell
wood H. Seal, who was to meet
with the board of cosmetology at
2::30 p. m. today to prepare a
test case.
Plans call for prosecution Of a
violator in Police Court, Seal dis
closed. Appeal to higher courts
would then be taken either by the
defendant or the District, he said.

BALLOU OPENS
CAMPAIGN TO
HALT VANDALS
Broken Glass Bill In
1888 Was $14,078

Vandalism in the public schols,
which last year cost the District
I$14,078.84 in broken window paneS
alone must be stopped, school Of
ficials, including members Of the
Board of Education. decided at
the Boards bi-monthly meeting
yesterday.
In his report to the Board, DR..
Frank Ballou, superintendent, de-
clared he intends to call the van
daliSm to the attention of the
police and to various civic groups,
Including the parent-teacherS or
ganization.
An increase in the cost Of re-
placing broken window panes Is
shown in the report issued by
Jere Crane, assistant superinten-
dent in charge of business affairs.
COST MOUNTING
Two years ago, Mr.. Cranes re-
port showed $4,000 was spent
yearly in replacing broken panes.
The 1888 report shows nearly $15,-
900 was spent.
That the public schools have
been victimized by petty thieves
for many years is shown by school
records dating back more than q
decade.
Typewriters, books, pencils and
food are the chief loot.
Nearly every school in the city
has, at one time or another, had
its ice box raided and food stolen.
Every week police find typewriters,
valued at $40 or more, in second
hand shops. A check disclosed
these are sold by adolescentS for
from 50 to So.
In many cases, vandals, not con-
tent with breaking into school
buildings, have ripped telephones
from the walls and overturned
chairs.
OFFICIALS VICTIMIZED
In schools where Fairgrounds
are kept open after hours some
watch is maintained, but in other
buildings the loss by theft and
obstruction runs into hundreds Of
dollars.
So great has been the loss that
each year the board asks Congress
for increased funds to cover such
losses.
Two school officials were the
victims of unlawful entry at the
Franklin administration building
recently when Assistant Superin-
tendent Chester H. Holmes lost q
coat. DR.. Thomas Gosling, an
other assistant superintendent,
reported travelling bags and equip
ment taken from his car parked
in the yard back Of the building.
