CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 31.— A big load is off the mind of Sergt. Alvin York, the Tennessee moun- taineer .whose exploits in the Ar- gonne, where he captured single- handed a battalion of German In- fantry, brought him the title of “the greatest hero of the orld War” from Marshal Foch. ‘The deed to his fine 400-acre tarm on Wolf River, Fentress County, near Pall Mall, has been presented to him. It came to him every penny paid for. The presentation was made by J. T. Wheeler, a trustee of the York Fund. When York returned to America in 1919 he refused all offers to ap- pear on the stage or in the movias and commercialize what he termed “ap act of God,” announcing nis determination to devote his life to the education of his people.

He married, and in due course Alvin jr. arrived. The drought of 1921 hurt his corn crop, and the price deflation reduced its money yield. A mortgage pay- ment was due in the fall; and it looked as though York would face foreclosure. The Nasville Rotarians again be- came active and money was raised, not only to pay the installment, but to clear off the entire indebtedness.

With their best fighting men away with Washington, a band of 400 Americans, mostly the very young and the very old, on July 3, 1778 bravely met and fought a combined British, Tory and Indian force of three times their number. Numerical superiority and an ambuscade gave success to the in- vader. The aroused Indians not only cut down the Americans with terrible slaughter, but in their eagerness for scalps massacred prisoners and settlers alike. Homes, barns and crops were completely wiped out. The survivors, largely women and children, escaped in- to the wilderness and suffered untold hardships as they made their way to friends in far-distant settlements, These stirring events are commemorated by an impoe- ing granite monument in present-day Wyoming, twelve miles from Scranton.

(FIFTH FLOOR) N LINE WITH its inherent ) belief in American indus- try, and its policy of strengthening that belief in others with the stoutest sort of optimism, THE EVENING WORLD has just interviewed fifty well-informed business € men representing not only every section of the country, but virtually every import- ant line of trade. The opening paragraph of its summary of these interviews is significant: “The unemployment situation, not long ago regarded as a menace which would last for months and possibly for years, has al- ready passed the critical stage. Each week the number of men out of work throughout the country is diminishing, and nearly : every section reports that trom 60°to 100 % per cent of its workers have found employ- ® ment.” The very day THE EVENING WORLD reported its findings in this industrial sur- vey, there was issued from Washington by the President's Conference on Unemploy- ment a bulletin stating that there has been a de- al crease of 43% in those applying for work since January Ist. April showed marked gains. For every 100 jobs 4 listed during that month, there were 150 appli- cants. This compares with 226 applicants for every 100 jobs open in January. Merchants everywhere are beginning to feel the Z impetus of better business. The alert, aggressive ones are taking full advantage of it by advertising harder than ever.
