AGE DOES NOT DAUNT SPIRIT OF COXEY
WHO'S ALL SET FOR ANOTHER MARCH
MAY LEAD GREAT UNWASHED
TO NATION'S CAPITOL ONCE
MORE; UNEMPLOYMENT
FIGURES VARY.
Written Specially for This Paper
By Robert Fuller
Through Autocaster News Service
New York, March 27. General
Jacob S. Coxey, of "Coxy's Army"
fame, spent several days In New
York In the course of a tour of the
country during which he studied
unemployment conditions, and an
nounced taat soon he may lead an'
other army to the nation's capitol.
The march of Coxey's Army to
the steps of the capitol in 1894 has
become history. His hair has turn
ed gray, he is well on In years and
heads a prosperous stone quarry
business at Massillon, O., but he is
still animated by the spirit that sent
this song ringing through the air as
his troops of unemployed approach
ed Washington:
We're coming, Grover Cleveland,
five hundred thousand strong,
We're marching on to Washing
ton to right the nation's wrong,
By time and distance undismayed,
by hunger unabashed,
For we are Coxey's Army of the
great unwashed.
"The boys will Join me on the
march," General Coxey told the
writer in an exclusive Interview.
"They're anxious to come. Just as
we did In 1894 each mother's son
of them will start from his home
town, and get to Washington the
best way he can.
"I will start from my own home
town, Massilon, and we'll all get
together and have a big demonstra
tion at the Capitol there will be
more of us than in 1894, because
conditions are worse.
"Of course" and the General's
tone became' grave "I want to
avoid the march if possible. If
my bill providing for the loaning of
non-Interest bearing bonds to State
Governments by the Federal Gov
ernment goes through, the march
will be unnecessary. The march
would be a lot of trouble-but per
haps It will be needed to make Che
people wake up to the situation.
"The march may cause misunder
standing. When we marched be
fore, Browne, Jones and myself
were arrested for 'treading upon
the turf or grass and Injuring the
shrubbery.' They cast us Into pris
on for 20 days and fined us $500
each.
"But wa are ready, in spite of all
risks, and as soon as we hear that
the bill Is not going through, 'Cox
ey's Army' will be on the road
again. I am going to print a great
number of pamphlets which the
boys can sell on the road to help
maintain themselves.
General Coxey has for many
years been sponsoring the abolition
of Interest as a means for procur
ing nation-wide prosperity. "The
only people in the country who are
now making money," he says, "are
the big 5 or the live Bs, who are the
bankers, brokers, bondowners, boot
leggers and burglars.
"The Ave or six million Ameri
cans now unemployed cannot be em
ployed unless the communities that
would employ them have money. I
have been trying to get a measure
passed that will provide that Con
gress coin money for the people at
no cost to them. Between 1919 and
1922 I was in Washington seeking
to obtain a hearing for this measure
and had conferences with the late
President Harding and others.
"I think a farmer, a city dweller
or anyone should be able to obtain
money at the same rate that a bank
obtains It from one half to one per
cent would be the rate, and It would
be a service charge rather than In
terest "Conditions are such that In the
past six years two million farmers
lost their farms, and over 66 of
the farmers of Oklahoma have be
come tenants although their land

I have been In Iowa, Nebraska.
Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas In
the last three months, and have vis
ited manufacturers between Minne
apolis and Boston. Not over 25
of the factories I saw were running
to their lull capacity. I consider
unemployment due to the restric
tion of bank credits.
'By my bill the government
would Issue money on bonds to be
offered by states, to be used to push
forward or complete municipal con
struction, such as roads or build
ings. This would give employment
to practically all the unemployed In
the country. The states would be
required to recall the bonds at the
end of twenty-five years, but would
not have to pay interest on them."
Figures on the amount of unem
ployment in the country vary.
Some estimate the number as high
as 4,000,000, and a few place it as
high as does General Coxey, who
thinks there are about 6,000,000 un
employed.
It is considered hazardous to give
any figures, experts have stated, as
there is no way of being certain of
the exact standing of the situation.
From the studies of unemployment
already made by the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the
Employment Service in the Depart
ment of Labor, it is Indicated that
many of the current unofficial esti
mates are gross exaggerations. In
one city there were believed to be
75,000 unemnlnyed, a house to house
canvas was made and the total
number was found to be a little over
16,000.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
has found about the same ratio be
tween belief and actual fact In sev
eral cities where the situation was
closely examined. James J. Davis, ,
Secretary of Labor, believes the un
employment situation exaggerated
but nevertheless one that is to be
seriously and earnestly considered.
Meanwhile we may again be con
fronted with the spectacle of "the
great unwashed" parading to the
capitol, with a gray-haired man In
command.

With spring cleaning just around
the corner, we look forward to
changes and additions here and
there about the house.
Let us not forget that a delight
ful element of newness can be
brought into rooms by simply ar
ranging the pictures in a different
way. When re-hanglng them this
year, change their location and see
how interesting they become in new
surroundings.
The best height for pictures Is
eye-level. Where pictures hang from
the molding, two vertical wires or
cord should be used (peaked wire
are quite passe). Smaller pictures
arc always hung "blind that is,
with nail and wire concealed behind
the picture.
An Easy Fancy Salad From a fa
mous chef comes this recipe for
Coronation Pear Salad:
Fill hollows of canned pears
with cream cheese or creamy
cottage cheese; top with red
currant preserves. Serve on let
tuce with dressing made by mix
ing a cube of cream cheese with
3 tablespoons sweet cream. Sea
son with salt paprika, juice of
14 lemon and a teaspoon cur
rant preserves.
New Way to Thicken Gravies
Instead of using starch or flour for
thickening gravies, use 2 level table
spoons quick-cooking tapioca for
each pint of liquid, boiling mixture
until clear. Tapioca does not lump,
nor do sauces made with It require
straining.
Sweet News Through steady Im
provement of Its manufacturing
process, beet sugar now ranks
among the best sugars made. It
produces as excellent results In pre
paring marmalade, jellies and pre
serves as does cane sugar which Is
good news, since it usually has a
little advantage in price.
To Dotermln Radio Terminals
Dissolve a little salt In a glass of
water and connect wires to both
terminals and dip the two ends In
the brine. Bubbles will form around
the negative wire, while the posi
tive will show no change.
Keeping Errs To keep eggs,
pack fresh eggs small end down, in
salt but do not let the eggs toush
each other. In the bottom of the
box small holes should be made to
allow the moisture to drain o?.
For a Lasting Furniture Polish
Before applying polish to furniture
wipe each piece with diluted vine
gar, adding Vt cup of white distilled
vinegar to a quart of water. After
drying, apply polish as usual, and
you will find the furniture takes on
a finer, more lasting lustre.

To Protect Carpets from Moths
Underneath chests, behind daven

love to nest on carpets and uphol

Allow the salt to remain for a time

DANGER IN KITE TIME.
Kite time is danger time for chil
dren and electric power and light
companies. Officials of the com
panies point out that it Is very dan
gerous to fly kites near electric
wires. In addition to very great
danger of grave personal injury
there is the further hazard of dam
age caused by cross circuiting wires.
Especial warning Is being given
against the flying of kites with
metal frames that are now being
sold. Some cities have ordinances
prohibiting the flying of metal kites
in the corporate limits of cities.
The company officials do not
mean to discourage or prohibit the
pleasure that comes to a boy from
flying his kite, but they do advise
that an open space should be used
for the purpose.

Important
Announcement
to every owner of a
Model T For d
ON MAY 23, 1927, when Henry Ford first announced his
plans for making a new car, he announced also that he would
continue to make parts for the Model T Ford. He saidx
'The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed the
Kay for the motor industry and started the movement for
good roads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of
distance in rural sections, brought people in these sections
closer together, and placed education within the reach of
everyone. We are still proud of the Model T Ford. If we
were not, we would not have continued to make it so long."
For twenty years, the Model T Ford led the automobile
Industry and it still serves more people than any other auto
mobile. Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today
are Model T Fords an indication of the sturdy worth
of the car and its value to people in all walks of life the
world over.
The Ford Motor Company will continue to make re
placement parts for these cars "until the last Model T is
off the road." That is a part of Ford service. That is what
Henry Ford meant when he said: "We believe that when a
man buys one of our cars we should keep it running for
him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost."
Because of this policy a considerable part of the Ford
manufacturing plants is given over to the making of parts
for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are made
of the same material and in the same way as those from
which your car was originally assembled.
Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer
and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find
that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thou
sands of miles of additional service, and at the same time
protect the money you have invested in your car,
