CONDITIONS ARE'HELL
London. —(UP)—When for six months you won't wear hats in leather shoes looking for a job to support a wife and six kids on kids a month "a week" money生意 in a factory 48 hours a week for $15 terms like Paradise, according George William Wilson, one of Britain's富人, at nearly 3,000,000 unemployed.
"Even when I had a job, one life was not exactly parallel, yet compared to another, it felt like a hell." Watson said in describing how it felt to live on unemployment insurance.
Picture a poor district in any big city. A tenement house of the untyped type. A tiny room on the top floor. In that room are two double iron beds, placed in such a position that one has to reach the center of the room.
In one of the beds are four children, George, eleven, beside his sister Amie, 8, was at one end. Their feet must come into contact with those of Ernest, 6 and a girl named Tiffany, whose bed is privileged. He has the other double bed all to himself with his mother and dad. Lilian Rose, 14 next March, sleeps with her grandmother no door, in the room where she lives.
In the center of the room is a medium-sized kitchen table. But that dad in his 30s was too shy to show him and the baby sits on mother's hip, the rest of the family mantra to grow up.
But still more offying is the entrance to the "living-room." It is a yard and a half square, the landing at the top of the staircase in barstools is a gas-stove, the ideal size for cooking the dinner of a spinner. Mrs. Watson's job of cooking for eight years was to keep the kitchen quantity and variety of food that can be bought with the insurance money. Besides, right next to the stove in a corner, she had to hold the Watson meal when cooked.
Fire Hazard Rad
One difficulty about the "kitchen" is, however, to cook without setting fire to the stove. It requires entrance to the "living-room," perilously near the stove. This also makes it difficult to get into the living-room, and not necessarily include the little room next door, which we give to granny in exchange for her dinner. Rose at night] explained Mrs. Watson.
"It's true that this one comes and collects his money punctually every week in the mail. If he asks for more, whereas the others want to increase our pay," she said.
During the war the same accommodation cost about $3.30 she said, but the landlord had refused to give her cells was entirely due to the rent restrictions act. And they were thankful, too, that the latest landlord did at all as several previous ones had.

Royal Livestock Show May Set New Records
50,000 Tickets to Be Distributed in Country Before
Nov.14
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 27. (UPI) -- Farmers may be hard hit by the depression, but their interest in good livestock is still a positive motistic opinion of American Royal Livestock show officials who are counting on the annual expiration to set new
Fifty thousand tickets will be distributed by the show on Nov. 14, they say. "These are for out of town visitors, and do not include those that will be sold to the audience."
Reports already in indicate the number of livestock exhibits will pass the record of 1300, according to Secretary Kate McGowan. The animals are in the cattle division, with shorthorn, Angus, Hereford and dairy cattle in general causing the officials to wander where the exhibits can be found. The building apparently will be at a premium.
As usual, 4-H clubs, future farmers and schools of the country will have a big place at the show, and as for
several years past, the number of exhibitors in this class is increasing.
Junior activities have extended to two more states this year, until they will cover all but three states in the union. Students will be taught for the annual conventions of the 4-H clubs, future farmers of America and vocational agriculture students.
Roy Lawrence estimates he walked 100 miles to complete his studies at Michigan State University, and four years as an undergraduate and one as a graduate student, he then went on to work for Apple.

"None so good as LUCKIES"
"I've tried all cigarettes and there's none so good as LUCKIES. And incidentally I'm careful in my choice of cigarettes. I have to be because of my throat. Put me down as one who always reaches for a LUCKY. It's a real delight to find a Cellophane wrapper that opens without an ice pick."
Jean Harlow first set the screen ablaze in "Hell's Angels," the great air film, and almost stole the show from a fleet of fifty planes. See her "Goldie," a fox film and Columbia's "Platinum Blonde."
