THE AGE OF PANHANDLERS

THE AGE OF PANHANDLERS
 It is hard to realize that 328, ,000 persons are on relief in New York City, getting their living out of the taxes of their fellow citizens. It is estimated that before the year is over, the figure will reach 387, ,000. Henry Root Stern, chairman of the New York State Board of Social Welfare, says:
 6. The only way l can picture it is to think, as an old first world war veteran, of the quartermaster generals problems in performing similar services for about thirty eight of our present army divisions. And at that he would be dealing with homogeneous population nearly entirely composed of males from Is to 26, all presumably in vigorous physical condition, and with uniform dietary, clothing and other living requirements"
 Most American citizens are faced with the problem of those families that have become accustomed to living on taxpayers money. Of course, there are always the nat urally indigent, the crippled ana the incapacitated. No one can be- grudge whatever assistance we can give them in their misfortune. Our people have always been charit- able and kindly toward the unfort- unate.
 However, another type has be- come our problem during the past 20 years: It is the American who believes that because he was once born, he needs always to be sup ported. He has became perlnan- ent panhandler and he is proud Of it. And he has come to regard the Department of Welfare or where ever he gets his free feed as a collection agency. Those agencies have often come under social work CTS who would be without jobs ii there were no panhandlers whose welfare needed to be looked after. The Panhandler really feeds the so- cial worker.
 MT. Stern, examining the New York City Welfare Department, describes what Raymond M. Hill iard found there when he was ap- pointed it's commissioner:
 ''He found on his hands a de- partment the personnel of which was, in the main, under the dom- ination of Local No. of the United Public Workers of America, CIO-a Communistic union. The staff was riddled with these fellow travellers all. On Civil Service. :" (The CIO recently declared the particular union involved to be Communistic.)
 Apparently, what these people on relief want is not temporary aid to see them over bad time. What they seek is permanent set-up

with insurance and telephones and even club dues for children. Here is an interesting item that MT stern reports:
 Children of families on public assistance not only, of course, get 'lree schooling but also tree school lunches. In addition, Ill the ele- mentary grades there is an allow ance to enable the child to partici- pate in the schools government organization society, educational vrlps and movies and to purchase |School supplies such as pencils, notebooks, ct cetera, and a class paper.
 At the junior and senior high school lever, these items are ex- banded to include participation Tn science and current event clubs, locker key deposits, fountain pens charity contributions and towels for gym.'
 And also, cigarettes. There Is q demand for cigarettes. It can be estimated that more than $lU,JO0,- LOO could be spent each year On cigarettes if only half of those on relief in New York City were given pack of cigarettes every other day.
 And they want church contribu- tions; that is, they want the city Co give each one on relief com to throw into the collection plate on a Sunday. Of course, there would be no receipt, so that the coin would have to be given to each person whether he went to church or not. MT. Stern figures that this would come to nearly $3,- 100000 a year.
 The social workers running a pressure group called the welfare council propose that the city give each family of four, $3,l46 year Sax free. how many who work for living have $3,000 a year after taxes are paid? What the welfare council seems to want is to make relief more profitable than work; they want relief to be more at tractive than earning enough to pay taxes. There must be a motive for such an attitude as otherwise it makes no sense at all. Why should anyone work unless he can earn as much or more than he can get on relief?

GRIPPING STORY
 TOLD ON SCREEN,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Man of Evil" the gripping Gains borough film starring James Ma son, which United Artists is re- easing in this country, opens to- night at the Capitol Theatre, with lovely Phyllis Calvert in the leading feminine role.
 Produced with a typical British rye toward realism, this is the story )f a gross absolute adyenturer and ais pursuit-almost persecution-oi young Victorian girl who cannot light back because his revelation ot l bar sinister in her background would rebound to hurt those she loves.
 Set against the background ot oawdy London of the gaslight and hanson cab era, Man of Evil fares to reveal for the first time on she screen the seamy side of Queen victoria's London when the Gaiety Theatre and Evans infamous SUD- per rooms were in their heyday and members of polite society preferred so pretend the after-dark activities in Haymarket and Covent Garden did not exist.
 Taken from the British best seller by Michael Sadleir, Man ot Evil" bravely challenges age-old Saboos which have long since lost their purpose to present a stark and moving picture of the evil a warped personality and character san create and the courage and perseverance which must combat it.

cerned."
Mrs. McNabb could hardly be-
lieve her ears. For Is years, she
had been battling with Martha for
control of the household and she
sincerely believed that she had
been defeated on every front.
"And you didn't win the Wom-

either" John continued. "She told
the Aliens maid that you were
heartbroken because you could
never grow nice roses like Mrs.
Allen. Mrs. Alien changed her vote
after that"

amused at Martha's politicking

It's well to have safety hooks
that don't come loose with a
simple flip of the finger on a
high chair-same for a crib, play
pen, or stroller. Window screens
and doors should fasten securely.
When there are small children
of any age in the family, keep
medicines, poisons, cleaning sup

reach. Use safety matches.
Provide safe toys, observing
the familiar rule against sharp
points and paint that peels or

leave sharp edges when broken.
