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.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- The advance in wheat values over a thirty-day period equivalent to $400,000,000, puts mills at top speed to keep space of the flood of demands made upon them. Unemployment is sharply relieved by the spurt of trade, and workers, happy to be back at their machines, turn out huge quantities of the commodity to met the advance orders.

PARIS, France -- Food is more important in the life of M. Hediart who trots to victory in the annual 10-mile classic through the narrow streets of Montmartre. Out-distancing all competitors he winds his way through a large field of rivals, finishing at the top of the steep stairs approaching Sacre Coeur Cathedral.

The huge likeness of Washington with its 60-foot face and 240-foot figure is almost done. And the tremendous statues of Jefferson and Lincoln which flank the Father of his Country are now getting their finishing touches. Stone cutting with air guns and blasting with high-powered charges aid in the gigantic task.

Convicted of income tax frauds, and falling in his appeal to higher courts, the gangster commences his sentence, comforted by the knowledge that soon his chieftain brother will be in the same jail with him.

RECORD CROWD SEES TROJAN CINCH TITLE BY STANFORD DEFEAT
(173)
LOS ANGELES, Cal. -- Howard Jones' University of Southern California stars led by Orvil Mohler, administer a crushing 19-0 beating to Pop Warner's Stanford team and put themselves into undisputed leadership for the Pacific Coast Conference crown. A brilliant gathering of 95,000, the largest gridiron throng of the season, sees the forces of Troy ride rough-shod over the fighting Indians. U. S. C. punches over three scores and then meets two thrusts at their goal-line, which remains uncrossed for the game.

REAL "WAR" FEATURES 1750th ANNIVERSARY OF VICTORY OVER KOREA
HIROSHIMA, Japan -- Cracked heads, black eyes and other injuries are the outcome of one of the nation's most celebrated religious festivals, the "battle of the palanquins" at the famous Shirahama Temple near Kobe, held once every five years. This shrine was founded in 182 A.D. to commemorate the severe defeat administered by the Nipponese forces to their continental neighbors. This year the ceremony is bigger than ever before and it is witnessed by 150,000 spectators. Squads of young men march with Mikoshi, or floats, each group trying to upset the sacred vehicles carried by rival bands. Fierce combats ensue, transforming the route to the temple into a melee of flying fists and waving sticks.
SPORTSMEN FLOCK TO HUNTERS' PARADISE AS GAME SEASON STARTS
TULE LAKE, Cal. -- Ducks and wild geese of almost every species, from Alaska, Canada and the Northwest make this body of water a principal stopping point on their annual southward migration. By hundreds of thousands they circle around, almost blotting out the sky, as the roar of guns marks the Zero Hour for huntsmen from all parts of the country. Some with blinds, others with dogs, many just with fire-arms, the bird-shot army reaps a rich harvest of speckle-breasts, Canadian honkers, widgeons, canvas-backs and other feathered game, until the flocks become wary and wing their way out of range.

NEW "LUNG" DEBARS SUBMARINE PERILS
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Menotti Nanni, non-sinkable device engineer and inventor, kisses his wife and children good-bye at the Battery, crawls into a bullet-like metal compartment and is pushed off into the deep water of the Bay. He comes up smiling after a time and extols his newest development, the Life Safety Cabin, as a guarantee against undersea-boat catastrophes.
PARENTS ACCLAIM COLLEGE FOR BABIES
BOSTON, Mass. -- Entrance requirements for youngsters at the Habit Training School on North Bennet Street include stubbornness, temper, tantrums, thumb-sucking, destructiveness and general juvenile cussedness. The course of study, which is for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds with twisted ideas and attitudes as the result of unhappy homes, consists of letting the youngsters do whatever they desire, except to harm one another. As a result, they rapidly become normal and are "graduated" as likeable, peaceable, every-day kids. A remarkable experiment in child raising.
FILM STAR SPANS U.S. BY AIR-MAIL
GLENDALE, Cal. -- Pretty Gloria Stuart, unable to secure regular plane reservations and in a hurry to fulfill a pressing New York engagement, "air-mails" herself to Gotham. After weighing in, she buys $264.11 worth of stamps, which are affixed to a tag fastened to her coat. Rides on postal handcarts and in regular mail trucks form a part of her novel experiences, in addition to her swift mail-plane transit of the continent, the first time, it is believed, this feat has been accomplished.
EXHAUSTED COUPLES DRAG FATIGUED FEET IN ENDURANCE WALK
CHICAGO, Ill. -- More than a month ago forty pairs started in the Marathon at the Coliseum. Today, only sixteen are left, -- thirty-two sleep-walkers shuffling about unconscious of the ballyhoo that surrounds them. Fifteen minutes rest after every hour on the floor, seven meals a day, and a compulsory shower bath once every night are some of the highlights of the "walkathon." To speed up the contest, "sprints" of 2 1/2 hours without stop are frequent. This rushes the weak sisters and the even weaker brothers off their pins and is expected to shorten the competition by at least two weeks. A doctor, dentist, barber, beautician and three registered nurses are on duty at the hall. The prizes include the title of the world's most upstanding walker. All contestants receive a set of hand-carved bunions.
HUNGER MOBILIZATION CLIMAXING BY SERIOUS RIOTING AT HYDE PARK
LONDON, England -- Goaded by Communist agitators and inflamed by Red speakers at a monster mass meeting near the Canadian War Memorial, thousands of unemployed, denouncing the "Means Test" as a determinant for the British dole, resort to disorder and mob violence, battling the police, disrupting traffic in all streets in the vicinity of the Marble Arch, and terrorizing merchants and women shoppers in the fashionable Oxford Street retail district. With coal, bricks and stones as ammunition, the rioters withstand charge after charge of mounted "bobbies" and foot squads. Rushing up re-enforcements in commandeered lorries, the trouble-makers vent their anger on automobile owners, over-turning cars, smashing windows and wind-shields and wrecking plate-glass store fronts. After two hours of continuous struggle in which hundreds are injured, the blue-coats out-maneuvre the law breakers, divide their forces and drive them in all directions, arresting scores.
SPECIAL ROOSEVELT WINS
The Democratic candidate for President is elected in the greatest political upset in this country in twelve years, millions of depression-embittered farmers and other erstwhile Republicans throwing their votes in protest to the Governor of New York. The wild scenes of enthusiasm at the national convention of the Jeffersonian party and the unprecedented fervor and warmth of the reception accorded the party's nominee in all sections of the country during the campaign, were indicative of the nation's determination to put different hands at the helm of the Ship of State. Election night crowds set a new high record for noisy celebrations and exuberant festivities.

FRENZIED GRID FANS CHEER IRISH VICTORY OVER WILDCATS, 21 TO 0
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame football machine, in "high" again, rides roughshod over Northwestern, its historic rival. Ramblers ring up a touchdown in the first minute of play by that infrequent marvel of the game -- a run-back to the goal from kick-off, with Melinkovich electrifying the 42,000 rooters by 98-yard dash.
BULLDOG AND TIGER BATTLE TO 7-7 TIE
PRINCETON, N. J. -- Ancient gridiron foes fight to a draw before 45,000 noisy rooters. For three periods, battle is on even terms, then Bob Lassiter of Yale uncorks a 37-yard heave that sends the Blue stands crazy and paves the way for a score. Princeton, halted time and time again almost at the goal line after terrific drives, takes the air in final minutes of play. Three thrilling throws -- the last a bullet pass from Kadlic to Ken Fairman -- do the trick and Old Nassau deadlocks the struggle.

FAMED ELEPHANT INN HAS GOLDEN JUBILEE
MARGATE CITY, N. J. -- Fifty years is not an advanced age for the average pachyderm, but for a tin one that has been buffeted by South Jersey shore front gales, it's quite a long time. Constructed in 1882 as a beach resort novelty, it still attracts tourists by land and by sea. "Jumbo" is 65 feet high, 38 feet long and 80 feet around the middle. It can be seen for eight miles. A six-room apartment is included in the mammoth body and the howdah is large enough for a dance floor.
DUPED HUNGER ARMY DISBANDS ON PLEDGE OF GOVERNMENT AID
LONDON, England -- Spurred on by Communist organizers, idle Britishers congregated here make one more attempt at mass demonstration, this time at the base of Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square. Despite the assembling of several thousand unemployed and fiery speeches by Red agitators, the "bobbies" keep the situation well in hand and quickly frustrate an attempt to move on Parliament. A few minor brushes between the blue-coats and the marchers result in a score of injured and a number of arrests, but the majority break ranks and leave for their homes, assured of help from the public purse at an early date, thereby ending Britain's worst labor threat in a decade.
NEW WORLD'S RECORD CREATED IN THRILLING CORN-HUSKING FINALS
GALVA, Ill. -- Carl Seiler, Knox County south-paw and State Champion, wins the 9th annual mid-west farm Olympics, before a gallery estimated at 50,000, by shucking 36.89 bushels of corn in eighty minutes. Nine States are represented in the contest, which has become a national event. Stalking down the rows, the competitors achieve the remarkable speed of from 40 to 50 ears a minute. Held on the rich Peterson farm in Henry County, the Corn-belt Derby is the outstanding title battle of agrarian America.
