The outlook for a happy new year is considered anything but bright by a | majority of the residents of Chinatown, on low:r Pennsylvania averue. Now that the Government has ac- quired approximately 70 per cent of the pecperty in the section, which will b2 tcrn down to make room for the new Municipal Center, resid-nts of the area | reclize that their now year, which falls | on February 17, will mark the begin- | ning of a new era for them. | And it is not a period to which they | look forward with anything akin to| happiness. No one enjoys the prospect | of being forced to scarch for new homes nd certainly not the Chinese, who e occupied their own niche in| Washington more than 50 years. Consequ-ntly, their new year cele. bration, which begins about a week before the first day of their year and | sometimes continues for two weeks, is | not expected to be gay. Contrariwis?, it is considered likely that there may be just a tinge of sadness in the ex-| change of grectings which is always an | tmportant part of their c:lebrations, New Location Held Secret. Those who profess to be well ac- quainted with residents ‘of the Chinesz | section believe they are desirous of Te- | maining as near the Capitol as possible. Just what location is under consider- ation, however, is a profound secret, | which will not be disclosed until the | Chinese are rcady to move. ‘The celebration always centers around the numerous temples and joss houses | on the north side of Pennsylvania ave- | nue, b:tween Third street and John | Marshall place. actual holiday, members of tre two or- nual election of officers.

To them. it is much ! like the Christian Christmas, being the only time of the year when they can forget their business and the attendant worries and devote all their attention to celebrating. Chinese operating business establish- ments beyond the boundaries of China- town will assemble in the joss houses to | pay homage to Ccnfucius, founder, of their religion. To the accompaniment of music furnished by Chinese bands. they will enjoy candy, cakes and fruits —most of which Js imported from China—and prcudly exhibit greeting cards received from friends and rela- tives in all parts of the world. One of the most interesting features of the Chinese New Year colebration is the settlement of debts. All Chinese, in order to meet their fricnds free of debt, vance cf the holiday.

More than 4,000 enumerators go to work today on a new unemployment census to be taken in 20 large cities in various sections of the country. The enumeration, which was re- quested by President Hoover's Emer- gency Relief Committee, will be based on the number of persons at work today. The number not at work, compared with the figures compiled in the April un- employment tabulation, will set a new standard for national relief calculations. William M. Steuart, director of the | census, already has left for New York to help launch the work there. The day before the census-taker calls was adopted by the Census Bureau as a basis of determining unemployment, it was explained, because many wives would interview the enumerators. If her husband was out job hunting the wife might not know whether or not he had been successful, but she would know if he had worked the day before. A summary was compiled at the bureau yesterdey of the April status of 15 of the 20 cities with a combined population of 13,129.422. Of this num- ber, 514,322 were out of work and look- ing for a job; 89,954 on l2y-off without ypay: 26,103 out a job and unable to work; 31921 having jobs, but idle be- { not looking for work; 8907 having jobs, but voluntarily idle without pay, and 9,685 having jobs and drawing pay, though not at work. sy STUDENTS WILL DEBATE U.

George Dibble, a singing evangelist, has found. He believes the reason is that “mothers aren’t the same these ‘Tell Mother I'll Be There, once was the biggest puller he had. Now it “doesn’t pull at all.” ““‘Just as I Am’ has sung more people into the kingdom of heaven than any other song,” he_said. Other present-day evangelistic favorites are: “old Cross,” “In the Garden". “Since Jesus Came Into My | | Heart” REPUBLICAN CLUB HEAD REELECTED | Other Officers Chosen and; | Reports of Officers and Committees Heard.
