FATHER COX'S ARMY REACHES CAPITAL TO PETITION CONGRESS
(86)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Followed by a host of idle, 10,000 strong, the Rev. James R. Cox, of Pittsburgh, presents the demands of the "hunger caravan" to the Federal Government. In Capitol Plaza extra police guards are ordered out as a precautionary measure but the demonstration is peaceful with the marchers concentrating entirely on rations of sauerkraut and frankfurters. After a tedious rain-soaked trek from Pennsylvania, wet but not discouraged, they stand behind their religious leader and urge the solons to action. A $5,000,000,000 bond issue to carry on government building works is asked for jobless relief.
FELINE QUEENS VIE IN SEASON'S OPENING THOROUGHBRED SHOW
(75)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- The first meet of the year attracts 136 entries for the Atlantic Cat Club competition. The contenders rank from the Siamese Royal breed and fluffy Persians to ex-alley cats. Rosedear, Dresden Cotton Tom, Sir Boss of Khiva, and Yum Yum strut their stuff and prove to spectators and judges that they deserve to be called "aristo-cats," in a great exhibit, the proceeds of which go to the fund for unemployed.
EX-CHAMPION RUNNER HOOFS FOR $1,000 PRIZE IN LONG DANCE GRIND
(130)
NEWARK, N. J. -- Joie Ray, one-time world's greatest middle-distance cinderpath star, turns to the goofy gallop for the dollars he may win. Teamed with Alice Krug, of St. Albans, New York, he has trudged around Dreamland Park pavilion floor since October 22. And the once great amateur speed king is just as chesty as he was in the palmiest days of his career. Necessity drove him to such competition as this, and, he declares, he can't eat the trophies his track activities brought him.

RECORD RAINS FLOOD HEART OF CITY AND RUIN CROP HARVEST
WATSONVILLE, Cal. -- Homes are deserted by hundreds of residents as the rising Pajaro River threatens to break over the levees and engulf the entire community. The heaviest rainfall in nearly a score of years causes the rushing stream to inundate the whole business section of this city, and leaving in the flood's wake irreparable damage to orchards and rich farm land.
While in another part of the state, at Truckee, the whole countryside is snowed under by a raging blizzard, whose ferocity is beyond the recollection of the oldest inhabitant.
DARING PILOT RISKS NECK ACHIEVING NEW AQUAPLANE THRILLER

Where the slightest miss may mean a fatality, the two daredevils perform with nicety and precision in a hazardous stunt designed to stir the blood of a mummy.

NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Massing forces at the Civic Centre to lay their relief demands before Mayor Walker, 1,000 recalcitrant Reds take to their heels down Broadway, brushed along by cops swinging clubs and accelerated by the horses of the mounted men.

(99)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Supporters of Reed Harris, expelled Columbia University campus-newspaper editor, assemble to express their indignation for the alleged suppression of free speech, as Undergraduate sympathizers of the school authorities rush the gathering under a barrage of eggs and left hooks. The melee waxes hot as the editor's friends give vent to their sentiments, to the tune of boos, hisses, and razzberries. The deposed scribe claims his widely-quoted attacks on the school's athletic policies caused his expulsion. A turbulent interlude in the course of Higher Education.

The play-off reveals Mrs. McEvoy as the queen of the ivories. After beating Mrs. Cooper she snows Mrs. Woods under, in a remarkable run to take the title. Jack Doyle, world-famous exponent of the game, rewards her with the cup symbolic of her royalty in the feminine billiard world.

FLORENCE, Italy -- Heralding a rich harvest and a prosperous year, the picturesque event is the signal for joyous thrills to a throng of 40,000 gathered in the Piazza Del Duomo. Pomp and ceremony attend the opening of the al fresco service at the door of the Cathedral of St. Maria del Fiore. A metal dove slides down a wire from the church altar to the Sacred Ox-cart in the square. Its fuse touches the "Carro" and with a resounding explosion a fireworks display is ignited, after which the car is driven off by a double-span of pure white oxen. One of the most striking festivals in the annals of the nation.
