OBLESS ARMY IS RETURNING TO HOME STATE Pennsylvania's D e legation Completes Purpose at Washington OATH OF ALLEGIANCE | TO FLAG IS TAKEN [nvasion of National Capi- tal in Contrast to Communist Trip J WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan, 8—| Pennsylvania’s army of jobless moved out of the National Capital last night on their return to their homes. The jobless spent a peaceful day here yesterday. Requests were | presented to Congress for millions of dollars for construction purposes to relieve the unemployment situ- ation. The members of the army visited the tomb of the Unknown Soldier taking the oath of allegiance to| the flag which was part of the ceremonies. Police were in evidence but they were only present to aid in hand- ling the traffic. The visit here yesterday of the unemployment army was in vast contrast to the hostility shown here on the recent visit of the Communist group. — DAILY EMPIRE WANT ADS PAY HATS A QUALITY HAT for $5.00 H.

Other conclusions reached by the convention were: - Baptist pastorates in Michigan are too short for good work; city churches keep their ministers lon- ger than other churches! spiritual power, money and life are wasted on short pastorates; education is needed in the cause and cure of short pastorates. ‘The convention adopted a recom- By HERBERT PLUMMER AND WATCH Tomorrow’s Paper For Further ANNOUNCEMENT mendation providing for a state office, where ordained ministers will be listed for ‘the benefit of ministers seeking transfers and churches seeking pastors. guage of the Porto Ricans, “T.
