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.

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

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

HITLERITES AWED AS 180,000 "STEEL HELMETS" AVOW REICH LOYALTY
BERLIN, Germany -- In the most striking and epochal military demonstration in this country since the Armistice, the great World War veterans' society, in uniform and full equipment minus only rifles and bayonets, assemble at Templehof Field to serve notice to the Nazis and Reds that the Von Papen government has its sanction. The Chancellor, other ministers and high officials of the government are in evidence, marking the first public recognition of the powerful ex-soldier organization. The former Crown Prince, Gen. von Mackensen and other high ranking "brass hats" of the former Junker regime, make the review a veteran-government-royalist celebration. Prussian banners, war-time military marches and the goose-step show the trend of sentiment in the Vaterland.
ROOSEVELT PROMISES AGRICULTURAL RELIEF IN FARM BELT SPEECH
TOPEKA, Kans. -- 25,000 mid-west farmers and other voters, assembled around the steps of the State capitol, hear Gov. Franklin D.

In the opening gun of his trans-Mississippi campaign tour, the Democratic nominee evokes enthusiasm among the dirt-farmers of this Republican State, following a triumphant procession from the railroad station. One of the highlights of the country's great political battle.
SKYSCRAPER LANTERN SHRINES MARK RARE HARVEST CEREMONIAL
ISHIKI, Japan -- Bigger and better demon-chasers, is the slogan of the natives of the quaint village whose ancestors started out seven or eight hundred years ago hanging up regular sized lanterns to chase the devils that ruined their rice crops, but who now celebrate the harvest time with monster lights thirty feet high, that requires 50 men with windlasses to raise them from the ground. A most picturesque event, so unusual that even the Japanese call the mammoth devices the "fool lanterns of Ishiki."

ALBANY, N.

SERIES HOPES LOOM AS RABID "CUBS" FANS BATTLE FOR DUCATS
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Local baseball enthusiasts already have worked themselves into a frenzy over the impending Diamond War. Followers of the Windy City team promise an unprecedented attendance and an abundance of moral support. Already, the business office of the team is literally snowed under with reservations for series tickets, and a corps of 25 girls is kept busy sorting the deluge of mail and checks. And it won't be long before the cry "Play Ball!" resounds throughout the land, marking the start of the classic struggle that winds up each season of the National Game.
ROYAL HOSTS GREET FESTIVE GONDOLIERS AT HISTORIC REGATTA

The exciting two-man gondola race is the high-light of the occasion, the Princess awarding banners to the winners. A gala day in the Queen City of the Adriatic.
ALL TRACES LOST OF TRANS-OCEAN FLIERS; FEARED SUNK AT SEA
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- The American Nurse, the big Bellanca monoplane which took Pangborn and Herndon around the world last year, takes the air at Floyd Bennett Field, the first flying medical laboratory, to attempt a non-stop flight to Rome. With William Ulbrich as pilot, Miss Edna Newcomer, a nurse of Williamsport, Pa., as co-pilot, and Dr. Leon M. Pisculli of New York, to observe the physical reactions of the other two during the progress of the flight, the big aircraft wings its way into the rising sun, skirting the southern coast of Long Island and disappears in the Eastern haze of the new morn, to become the latest mystery of the air-lanes. Reported by ships twice on its two-day voyage, the last time only a few hours from the British Isles, the plane fails to appear over Europe and now is heralded as another casualty of the deep. An additional tragic page in the history of man's aerial achievement.

20,000 UNEMPLOYED LED BY REDS IN MONSTER RELIEF CUT PROTEST
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Singing Communist songs, shouting slogans and flaunting banners calling for gratuities to the jobless as well as various radical "demands," a determined horde of men, women and children stages a "hunger march" through Loop, tying up traffic for an hour and giving the city its first taste of organized and exploited discontent. Converging from three directions, despite a steady rain, the marchers push the police aside and carry their pleas to Mayor Cermak at City Hall, thereafter assembling in Grant Park for a mass meeting. Instigated as a demonstration against the impending reduction in municipal support of the needy, the movement falls into the hands of anti-government agitators and winds up with ominous threats and a call for recruits for the proposed hike of a new Idle Army to Washington in December.
ROYAL SWEETHEARTS WED AMID SCENES OF POMP AND SPLENDOR
COBURG, Germany -- With all the elaborate ceremonials that featured the old Hohenzollern regime, the first regal marriage held in the Vaterland since the beginning of the Republic, unites Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, and Princess Sibyll of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of Duke Karl Eduard and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg. Simple civil rites in the 300-year-old Hunting Room of her father's Castle are followed by impressive nuptials at St. Moritz Church before the most brilliant throng of royalty and nobility assembled this side of the Rhine since the World War.

56-MILE GALE RAZES RESORT DWELLINGS
BROAD CHANNEL, N. Y. -- The worst wind and rain storm in this section in more than 40 years demolishes bungalows, garages and other buildings, washing some of them into Jamaica Bay and leaving the popular summer colony a mass of wreckage. Described as a regular "Kansas twister," the cyclonic disturbance would have cost scores of lives but for the fact that many houses were closed for the season. Several families, their homes lifted from pilings and dumped into the water, are rescued as they float out with the tide.
BOY GENIUS PERFECTS AMAZING MINIATURES
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. -- Remarkable models of steam locomotives, on a scale of 1/48, but which are complete in every detail and can haul a 2000-pound load, the equal of 15 man-power, are made and sold by Kenneth Dewar, 20 years old. He draws the plans, makes his own patterns and castings and does the assembling and testing. He started at the age of 14, and has marketed 15 in the last three years, at about $1,200 each. Big business from a little hobby.
SEEK PROSPERITY WITH FIREWORKS
AMECAMECA, Mexico -- The surest way to frighten off the evils of depression and insure the return of happy days, according to local tradition, is to tie a lot of real firecrackers to a lot of artificial bulls and then dance for all you're worth. Inasmuch as today is San Lucas day and the bull is the saint's favorite animal they decided to combine the two and ask for Old Man Prosperity to come back in the ceremony known as "burning the bull." They might do it. THROWING the bull won't, that's a cinch.
RECLAIMS FORTUNE FROM OLD FLOORING
BOSTON, Mass. -- The very dirt under your feet is valuable when you walk around in a jewelry shop. So much gold dust and small bits of the precious metal fall and are trampled into the floor that it pays, every now and then, to tear up the boards and recover the wastage. Maurice G. Alperin, a sweep smelter, gets as high as $5,000 worth of bullion from a single store. The wood is burned in a special stove and the ashes and floor sweepings are reduced in a crucible. What's left is gold alloy or pure gold. At $20.60 a troy ounce, it's a business. It looks simple, too, to see Maurice do it.
WOOD-PAVED STREET RIPPED UP BY NEEDY AS FUEL FOR WINTER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- It's a great thing when poor people get a break. The municipal authorities, deciding to put modern paving on Blue Island Avenue, notify the unemployed and hard-pressed residents of the neighborhood that the old oil-soaked blocks with which the thoroughfare's been covered for years, are to be had for the taking. With picks, crowbars, chisels and other tools, men, women and children rush to gather burning material for the cold weather. Regardless of traffic, they dig, pry and gather in tons of first-rate fire-wood. The city gets the old road-way taken out gratis and those in need get a supply of "coal" for the coming months. An odd turn of affairs that helps everyone concerned.
ARMY AIRMEN ENGAGE IN THRILLING BOMBING COMBAT FOR CHARITY
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Squadrons of bombers swooping down and raining explosives on defenseless "villages," swarms of pursuit planes darting in winged assault on the ships of the bombarding force, "dog-fights," airobatics, and other exciting activities of warfare in the skies are demonstrated, before a huge crowd at the municipal airport by pilots from March Field, for the benefit of the needy. Power dives at 250 miles an hour and similar feats are among the breath-takers performed by the nation's crack bird-men. A remarkable "show" of military flying progress.
