Finally he found another | job as a presser and at that time he| worked very long hours for a very little salary. It was impossible to exist. He joined the union. The wages which he received under the United Garment Workers were so little that he bgcame a union man with his heart and soul, although he did not receive very much education The live spirit of the working class was on him. Then began class struggles and strikes. He was always on picket duty. He never had to be told to go} in the front line to fight, he always went because he always felt it was his duty to better the conditions of himself and his fellow workers. When he became a family man he started to feel more than ever the class struggle to raise his little family. He wanted to give us chil- dren an education what he claimed that every American child is en- titled to, Also my teacher said that education is a great value in this country. We children were not behind in our father’s principles because we felt there were many goods things could not get. We know that our father is not lazy to work, but he gets only $15 a week and it isn’t enough to buy bread for us to eat. I have already reached the age of sixteen and am capable of work- ing. I have received the so-called education of high school and ar now looking for a job to use my great education, but I cannot find any. Any place I go I find hundreds of girls waiting for jobs and I, only a young girl, already feel the un- employment crisis. When I need any clothing and my father can’t afford to buy me any, I smile at the words: America, the richest country in the world, every- one has a chance to become rich Communism is the only way to solve the problem of unemployment Communism stands for the freedom of the working class from slavery and exploitation from capitalism’s brutal yoke. in a| Hs oh tohadl JAFFEE.

You see, I tried to do all I could to get the men to rebel against the terrible food. For this I got ten days on bread and water. We must say yes, sir, and no sir, to our masters.

Theremin -will again give a demonstration of his invention. The instrument which the “Rus- sian Edison,” as they call the youth- ful physicist in Soviet Russia, has built, produces the entire audible tone scale by electrical means) After demonstrations in Berlin, Paris and London, and New York the new machine was pronounced by scientists, artists and laymen alike barely short of the miraculous. Tones are produced by free move- ment of the hands in air before two antennae attached to the apparatus. Transforms Electricity Into Sound The principle utilized by Profes- sor Theremin is that of the trans- formation of electro-magnetic en- ergy into acoustic energy. By al- tering conditions in an electro mag- netic area by, means of introducing into it an electrical conductor (the human body) he achieves changes in pitch, trimbre and volume. Leon Theremin is 31 years old He was born in St. Petersburg Au- gust 15, 1896, now Leningrad, Rus- sia, the son of a prominent lawyer At an early age he is said to have startled his teachers by his aptitude in solving the trickiest of scientific problems.

The judgment of his elders was justified by the events of later years. After completing his course at the state gymnasium he entered the School of Physics and Mathe- matics of the University of Lenin- grad, majoring in physics and as- tronomy. The apparatus acts as a terminal and is never really touched by the hands, even tho the musie rendered is closely allied to the artist’s per- sonality because: it reproduces the music in the player’s mind.
