GREEN VOICES PLEA FOR UNEMPLOYED Jobless Workers in January Reached 12,700,000, Says A. F. of L. Head. President William Green of the Amer- fcan Federation of Labor said today that in the midst of the national bank crisis “we must not let unemployment be crowded into the buckground.” He said the federation estimated on the basis of Government reports an in- crease of 800,000 in the number of employed between December and Jan- uary. In January, according to his statement, the number of workers un- employed reached a new peak of 12,- 700.000. The labor chief added: “Judging from trade union reports for February, the number out of work has not decreased since January. This| is a new high-water mark for unel Ployment in the depression and rep: sents an increase of 2,400,000 since Jan- uary, 1932." H Green said that unquestionably the! bank crisis would increase unemploy- ment because of depressed buying pow- er, necessitating curtailment in factory activity. that “thousands of middlemen who were expecting to place orders will wait until conditions are more settled, cut- #ing industrial activity still further. Jobs and work time will be reduced all along the line.” Continuing, Green said: “When the crisis is over workers will not find their employers nearly so ready to take them back as they were to lay them off. Added to our present 12,- 700,000 unemployed will be those new unemployed, another group without in- come, unable to buy, deprived of the chance to support themselves, outlawed from the normal life of a self-respect- ing member of society. “Business cannot recover until these unemployed go back to work by hun- dreds of thousands. Our Nation can- not recover its courage or its spirit while they are crushed by the humilia- flon of forced dependence on charity. ‘They must be restored to their proper place of partnership in our national enterprise. We look to the adminis- trau‘nn to make this its next achieve- ment.” NAVY TO SPEND $169,075 FOR PUBLIC WORKS Delaware River Dredging and Sunnyvale Hangar Will Be Among Improvements.

So the bird colony at the Zoo was doubly shocked when it was chattered about that the scarlet ibis and the white 1bis are building a nest. ‘There was as much astonishment out- | alde the bird cage as within. Dr. Wil-| llam Mann, director of the Zoo, said he | had never heard of such a mating in‘ the ibis family. When the youths are hatched officials enticipate something entirely new in the color scheme of the ibis specles. | 138 PARK ARRESTS | Police Take In $1,016 for Fines and Forfeitures in February.

She hadn’t ordered anything. What could it be? A boy came up with a long florist’s | box. Probably from Hickory Ferguson. He was sweet to send flowers in addi- tion to the gorgeous box of candy and basket of fruit he had bought as a parting gift before returning to Rolla. Yellow roses. That deep yellow 50 hard to get. Beauties. Dozens, it seemed. She broke the seal of the white envelope and gasped in surprise. “Mr. Philip Sheridan," she read He had wired them from Paim Beach. How thrilling! Imagine, thinking of. her, when he must be having a wonderful time with lots of fascinating people! That was a real tribute, and she cher- ished it. Her favorite flowers—how did he know? Not even Bruce had dis- covered that. He sent her orchids and | violets, sometimes gardenias, but never | llow roses, There was something glad and warm in her thoughts of Phil, | always. Probably because they had never known sorrow or disappointment together. She should enjoy this friend- ship without an ache inside. Wednesday afternoon, June would have been delighted if she could have hid in some of the rooms and seen the reception of Grady's notices about the Gilmore’s dinner-hour club. A disconsolate boy from Australla sat on the side of his bed, trying man- fully to down the homesickness that be- set him. A printed slip of blue paper was shoved under his door. Mechnical- ly he reached down and picked it up. | He read: “ARE YOU GOING TO DINE ALONE THIS EVENING? ‘We want our guests to be happy, and for the special pleasure of those who may be in New York alone, and unacquainted, we have inaugurated a unique feature— The ‘Between Six and Seven Club.” Miss June Varick of Rolla, Mo.

The widower | across the hall from him, who had | moved in from Forest Hiils, after his out a white shirt and put pomade on his hair before he went to meet Miss June Varick of Rolla, Mo. In the ele- | vator he eyed the trim figure of a girl from Helena, Mont., who, had a job in an engineering office, and hadn't met : soul in the six months she had been | in New York. Neither of them knew, | of course, that they were destined to be introduced by the president of the | Between Six and Seven Club, and be married before the Summer ended. | June, in a tailored brown dress and amber beads, looked exacui like a girl from home, reminding each and every | rest. {ever think of that? Now, one of home and wholesome living. She said, “How-do-you-do? I'm so | THE EviEsInG S1YAR glad to see you. Ihflpeyvu and have a grand time,” she were g_mns s ?hx:y And sh- put all at thel tmosphere was unstrained. . People reacted naturally to the innovation, and talked together as if they were fellow townsfolk. “Sounds like a convention,” Hartley Hart told June as he and Lucy came in. “I think it's grand,” Lucy declared. “I want to meet that nice boy over there by the fireplace.” She had se- lected the one from Australia. “Jatroduce Lucy,” Hartly seid. “I'l take the blondie coming in.” “Do. She looks scared to death.” People drifted to tables after a bit, and e observed that no one ate alone. The Harts had a table witn the Australian boy and the scared blond. They seemed to be having a very good time. Linder came in and was pleased. “It's a good beginning.” he declared. “By the end of the week the crowd will pick up, I'm sure. Makes me think of Sunday morning after church in Penobscott.” “You mean a box party in the school house.” “I stand corrected. Now, I wonder if I could get a portion of that uri fried chicken and hot biscuits right out of the oven?” Two of Grady's publicity stories dur- ing the week, with June’s plcture. helped increase the patronage. She was immediately identified with the Bishop case, and & number of outsiders came through curiosity. Saturday night there was a capacity crowd. June went to bed very tired and a 'l like us | little sad. The Harts were gone, lnd she would miss them a great deal. A letter from Bruce came up with Ler breakfast tray in the morning. Non-committal. He had avoided dis- covery on the voyage. Had a good Would cable her when he sailed on his return. Take care of herself. He missed her. “Nothing in that to make a girl hysterical with hope,” she thought an angry second. Then, as u!clly, “Dear Bruce—I love him so mucl > June was an immediate success as president of the Between Six and Seven Club. Everybody liked her. During the day many sought her juaintance, and some her advice. Linder had to give her an office where she could in- terview people for an hour or two in the afternoon. Without effort. and with natural ability, took over the reins of social hostess for the hotel, extend her activitis in many directions besides the club. ‘There was dancing in the fountain room. It was a rather nice place, June thought, with three tiers ascending from the ce floor, and the orchestra back of the fountain. They had a fair din- ner crowd, but were anxious to build |up their supper patronage. Centrally lr;cnzed, they should draw from the the- aters Grady said they were missing a bet by not having June up there, in eve- ning dress. She was so beautiful and - | delightfully naive, he pointed out, that she would be a hit—something new to New York. Linder sent for her. “Grady thinks you ought to act as hostess in the fountain room for the theater crowd. What do you think about “I don't see s good reason for it.” “Some of the nicest things in life are without rhyme or reason—did you I'm looking at it from the other person’s point of view—if I'd been to the theater, for llnsunce. and decided to go to the Gil- SALE OF CHAIRS te, ecasl 5% {he month of Ma l.

But suppose the 1 who was with you didn't react in the same way.” “Now let's not be too analytical. You have to take life as it comes, unless you can do something about it. Sup- pose you put on your most beguiling evening frock and give the fountain room a whirl. It will be decidedly dif- ferent, I promise, from the club, and the people who come down there.” June was always good-natured, and when she saw Linder had his heart set on extending her dutles along more sophisticated lines, she agreed. As for evening clothes, she was not equipped. 8he examined the status of her bank account with some anxiety. Perhal she could risk a hundred dollars. Mayl if she shopped cleverly she could get two dresses for that. She'd have to be very careful, though, for she was going to be very conspicuous and nothing tawdry would do. This new adventure turned out as well as the club. Bhe found it rather intriguing. All she had to do was make herself as lovely as possible, and be friendly with people. She made no ef- fort to be other than her natural self. “Oh, sure,” she'd concede. “I'm from Missourd, but it's been a right smart| dens; while since I've been home. No, hon- estly, I don’t know what that ‘show me’ business means. 1 reckon the rest of the country knows more about it than we do.” Perhaps she did emphasize the col- loquial in her speech a trifle more than usual; but this was done, as a rule, to offset some woman's exa gerated New Yorkese. A columnist, happening to hear some- thing of the sort one night, vetailed it with colorful emphasis. Soon, news of the girl from Missouri got about. Her gopulnrity ‘was accelerated, of course, y the fact that she was high-l! ud in one of the most spectacular my: of the year. “If the girl could only sing!” moaned | L!nfl!r “She'd be a mfl‘lnn-dollu“ asset ..;Huw do you know she can't?” Grady ‘ “I don’t know, but I have & little | "That's “Listen, I've got a hunch.

She laughed delightedly at Grady's preposterous question. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) .

Fhivdy, Naming Purdue University as princi- pal beneficiary, the will of former Rep- resentative Will R. Wood of Indiana was filed for probate yesterday in Dis- trict Supreme Court. The estate is estimated at approximately $500,000. Mr. Wood died Tuesday in New York City. He had been defeated for re- election to the House, in which he had served for 18 years. The largest single bequest was $10,- 000 to his secretary, Jessie T. Lovell. The will directed the payment of $1,000 each to Mrs. Thomas P. Littlepage and Mrs. Virginia De Ruiz, both of Wash- ington, and 11 relatives and friends, most of whom reside in Indiana. A cousin, Anna Bossum, of Lafayette, Ind., was given $500, and a nephew, Frank Everett, $100. Bequests of $500 each were made to Cecelia Mahoney, of the Federal Trade Commission; Anna E. Eselhorst, of the Botanic Gar- . C. T. Messner, 5603 Thirty- third street, and 10 other persons, most of them residents of Indiana. All of his personal property was di- vided among relatives and friends. In making the substantial bequest to Purdue University, Mr. Wood stated in his will that whatever success he had achieved was attributable to the people of Lafayette and Tippecanoe | County, Ind., and that he wished to aid the university for this reason. The last item in the will provided that the minor son of Nellie Moore of Wash- ington, Raynolda Moore, 5, be given a scholarship by the school if possible.
