That will allow the committee to devote Its funds entirely to wages. In the extensive Fresh Pond development it has had to spend nothing for overhead. Thfe supervision on the job has been volunteered by a local business man and a retired superintendent of the mechanical shops of the Boston Maine Railroad. All of this, sums up Secretary Downey, points to the need of some contsructive means of meeting such situations in the future, either by setting up a reserve fund to which all earners would contribute, or by some other means establishing a reserve.

If the State contributed, that would lessen the charge on local communities. (This is the third article on the efforts of Massachusetts communities to meet the unemployment problem .) By LOUIS M. LYONS The first problem that Cambridge tackled, in meeting its unemployment Heed, was the derelict automobiles abandoned ci lots. Every city and town has this problem. Cambridge had felt that she had it in acute degree.

Her vacant lots seemed to have magnetic attraction for junk tars. Th Cambridge Industrial Association mobilized the unemployed last Winter and rounded up all abandoned ears, to dump them in the excavations of old clay pits and biick yards. Many of the 1145 men employed by the association last Winter, and a lot of tho 524 464 that it collected and spent for employment, helped with this job. Industrial Association Leads A common ciiticism thiough the depression has been that industry generally has failed to carry its own unem-plojment problem. The Cambridge Industrial Association has accepted its responsibility and has taken the lead In its city.

In 1930-31 the association undertook to carry the load on contributions from its own members. From last inters experience it was clear that the job was bigger than that and would be greater this year. With the last Winters organization as a nucleus, the Cambridge Unemployment Relief Committee was formed this Winter to bring in all other elements in the community. A police census resealed that 1400 families needed emergency means of support. An appeal was made to all owners of automobiles, to give money.

This netted 515,000. A fair realized 55000 more. This being far short of the need, the Committee asked employers to get contributions from their organizations and appealed to city and college employes to contribute on a monthly basis right through the Winter. Without any spectacular drive or ringing of doorbells, they have had money on pledges coming regularly all Winter. The police alone give 5520 a month.

The committee has handled 575,000 so far and will have raised and spent more than $100,000 when pledges have all come in. Half of Harvards football game unemployment contributions went to Cambridge, to add $7200 to the fund. Charles, the new station of the Cam-bridge-Dorchester rapid transif line, at Cambrilge and Charles sts, will be opened for service Saturday morning, Edward Dana, general manager of the Boston Elevated Railway, announced last night. On Thursday morning trustees of the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Eye and Ear Infirmary, original petitioners for the Improvement, will visit the station. Thursday afternoon members of the State Commission on Public Utilities will inspect it.

William J. Keefe, chief engineer of the department, who supervised construction, will accompany the groups. The new station is designed to Improve service to and from the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Suffolk County Jail, the Charles River Esplanade and Basin, the Beacon Hill residential dis trict and the business district along Charles and Cambridge sts. Built by the Department of Public Utilities, the station cost about $210,000, It will be leased to the Elevated. The station is about midway between Kendall and Park and is located in the center island of the new traffic circle constructed by the city.

A sub-p assageway extends across the traffic circle In a northeasterly and southwesterly direction. An exit from this sub-passageway leads to the surface in front of the station entrance. Service to and from Charles Station will be provided by two bus lines, ohe between Bowdoin sq and Park sq via Cambridge and Charles sts, the other between Massachusetts Station and Charles Station via Boylston and Charles sts. Busses on these two routes will be operated from 5:40 a to 12:35 a m. The bus line between Kendall sq and Bowdoin sq will be discontinued.

How Neicton Does It Newton incorpoiated the Mayors Unemployment Committee last week. This is its second Winter of taking over the unemployment job in the city- The committees wage bill will run over $10,000 this month. Its loans ill approach 52000. Starting- with 40 men in the Fall, it is now employing 200. They can prove to you In Newton that it pays to get such a concerted community activity to lift the load of unemployment from the city Welfare Department.

Newton in 1931 spent 544,000 through the Welfare Department. With the 547,000 spent by the Mayors committee, the total expenditure for helping people out In Newton came to 5117,000. Malden, smaller by 8000, spent 5269,000 on welfare cases. Malden Is not so comparable with Newton as Watertown, next door to Newton. In outside aid Newton spent 545,000 last year while Watertown had to spend 5135,000, though Newton has 66 000 persons to Watertowns 34,000.

The Increase in this Item over the year before was 28 percent in Newton and 177 percent in Watertown. Perhaps that Is why Watertown has now set out to follow Newtons plan. FOR THE BEST ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS DUSKY PRINCESS IN NEED VANISHES AFTER ASKING AID Dolly, Claiming to Be Liberian Kings Daughter, Sent to D. S. With $10,000 For Education, Applies to Police And City Welfare With Tale of Woe Fire Station Headquarters The Mayors committee has its quarters in the old fire station beside the City Hall, a place as dingy as a public employment agency.

Here they raised and spent $49,000 last Winter and will account for $75 000 this Winter. By the middle of March, if the present load continues, they will have to go after more money. Certainly the money has not been wasted. They employ men three days a week at 54 a day. Every four or five weeks a man has to take a week off to give somebody else a chance.

Their largest project has been the Nobscot-Sudbury Boy Scout reservation, which was burned over by forest fire last year. Crews have cut" out the dead timber and cleared the ground to give the Scouts a chance to replant in the Spring. They have distributed 1200 cords of firewood from this operation. They started a small crew this week, which later they expect to increase to 100 on the development of a new playground. It is a job of clearing, ditching, draining.

Golf Course Being Built As many as 2000 men have had some Vork. Last week 435 were employed. The Cambndge system has been to give two weeks work a month, at 54 a day. A different 435 are working this week. The largest project Is a nine-hole golf course In the Fresh Pond reservation.

This employed 230 men last week and will use 500 when Spring pens. They have built two skating tinks on Russell Field, and these will be paved on sides and bottom to make sw imming pools in Summer. The committee voted to, give from fund 5500 a week to the Family Welfare Society to take care of cases that are not met by the opportunity physical labor and that do no fit the groove of the 1500 cases handled by the City Welfare Department. This supplement by the Family Welfare Society Is very real. The unemployment committee has no Investigational staff of its own.

So she doled out dollar after dollar until, in a miraculously short time, her monejl was all gone. Not a sou was left for transportation home or with which to live In this country. So Princess Dolly went to Washington and secured a job as cook in a home in that city.

There she lived and worked, incognito, for more than four years. A week ago, Incensed that she should be made to work for her living, Princess Dolly said she decided to come to Boston, where she felt she might be accorded the position due her. 1.

Boston opened Its arms momentarily to self-styled royalty yesterday, only to have It flee into dark security from the sudden limelight.

Through the unusual medium of Its Welfare Department, the city offered Its courtesy to a dusky Princess whose $10,000 dowry, she says, was taken from her by a group of grasping relatives In Virginia, leaving her penniless in a strange land. The self-proclaimed Princess is Dolly Bush, 25, colored, now of 25 Holyoke st. South End, and daughter of King Edward T. Bush, whose domains, she announced, are in the African Republic of Liberia. Five years ago he sent his Princess-daughter to the United States with $10,000 for her education, according to Dolly.

Yesterday Princess Dolly appeared at Police Headquarters with the story of her heart-breaking career that took her from her royal home to a cooks job in a Washington, home and thence to Boston, where her last $2.50 was paid for a tiny room in the South End. As quickly as she had blossomed forth before Supt Michael H. Crowley In her role of Princess, surrounded by the minions of the law curious for a look at real royalty. Princess Dolly faded back into oblivion. She took her departure from headquarters for the City Welfare Home on Hawkins st.

She appeared there only for a few minutes, It was learned, and then suddenly left without the food and shelter that the police head said she could get. Employes of the Hawkins-st home did not know where she had gone, and she left no clew. Inquiries at the Holyoke-st address revealed that the girl had not returned to her room. The local population of that district seemed unaware that royalty was walking among them. According to Dollys story to Supt Crowley, she arrived in Virginia from her African home about five years ago.

With her she had $10,000 of her fathers money. He gave it to her for her education, she said. In Virginia, Princess Dolly said, she was welcomed with open ai ms and was dined and wined by her people. As the days went by, she said, she met person after person who claimed a re Downey Points Out Problem The distressing thing, Secretary Jeremiah F. Downey sajs, Is the inability to employ women who are out cf work or men who cant do physical labor.

We have used some office girls and have found work for some women repairing clothing for relief distribution. But we have to send most of such men and women vo the Family Welfare Society. The 1500 cases that have applied to the city for aid we do not have to worry about. Those that will not apply for public relief are the most worthy cases and the hardest to reach and deal with adequately. The churches and private societies are doing far more to help their own members than ever before.

Often we can take care of a situation best by giving ur information to a church or fraternal organization and letting it help. Perhaps the most satisfactory cases handle are those of. men who say that they dont want charity, but if they could get hold of 5100 or 5200 for a little while, they feel that they could manage. We have put a fund at the disposal of the chairman and we send such men to him, for investigation and assistance. We had Just now the case of a widow with three children.

She has supported them and has been buying a small home. She is out of work. Her house has a first and second mortgage. A small loan enabled her to meet her interest charges and save her home. ANTIHOARDING BOND ISSUE BOON TO C0LTSVILLE FOLK PITTSFIELD, Feb 23 The antihoarding bond issue of the Federal Government means much to Berkshire, because the paper for the bonds is being manufactured now in the Government mill of Crane Co, in Coltsvllle.

Wheels were started turning on the paper upon receipt of a telephone message from Washington. The paper is being made as only part of the production operations of the mill, where all Federal Currency and security paper is made. No change will result it is said in the working schedule of the mill. In composition, the paper Is the same as used in other Government currency and security issues.

Loan for College Graduate We believe that this unemployment is a temporary matter and should be taken care of privately, explains Harold Young, in direct charge of the old fire station office. We want to keep people from forming the habit of accepting public relief. Of course plenty of our people, who desperately needed help, would not accept charity.

When we hear about such cases we go out and get them. Weve Just had a case of a family of a man who is a college graduate. They had no food and jio fuel and Just would not ask for any. We gave him a loan. We have allotted $1500 a month for such loans.

This month we will run over. We usually figure a loan large enough to last six or eight weeks. Very few have ever come back for more. It carries them while they find something they can do. These men who have borrowed from us are mighty worthy fellows.

Quite a few have already begun paying back their loans. When they get jobs they begin to pay on account. Weve been able to employ some white collar men as timekeepers, investigators or on clerical work. One Is in charge of the clubroom upstairs where we encourage men out of work to gather instead of hanging around the streets or at home. When we get a call for a job we go upstairs to see whos available.

Whenever I go in and say, Who wants a chance to earn a dollar? they all want a chance. The committee employs only men with families. We have 225 single men registered but we havent been able to hire any of them so far. We try to give them a break when chances come in for private work. $40,000 in Odd Jobs Last Winter the committee found odds and encra of employment with individuals that made 540,000 in wages.

Through the American Legion committee the city is constantly being canvassed for all such employment and a steady trickle of it helps out. But, Ve Arlington, they found it necessarjNto develop work projects on a larger scale. The Mayor had all departments survey their needs and submit a list. Improvement associations and individuals have been encouraged to suggest public or semipublic undertakings. Two hundred dollars worth of wages for 12 men and a load of wood ior each of 49 families came from an old house on land that the Elks had bought to build an addition to their own building.

The committee got the Job of tearing it down. They are now razing an old stable that the Fire Department has long considered a menace. The Mayor's committee has a working arrangement with the Newton Welfare Bureau to handle direct relief. The committee pays the salaries of one investigator and one clerk, and last month spent 5840 on direct relief, compared to $9500 for wages and loans. Funds have been made available, on application, to societies and churches that are in intimate touch with the sort of people the subscribers to Newtons unemployment funds intended to help.
