C. Draper The charitable organizations of this borough have been working for nearly a year to help people find work. Today the situation of the 200 heads of families who apply dally at one of these organizations is desperate. Work is not their only need. They come pitifully with stories of starvation, Illness and dispossess notices.

On investigation these things prove nil too true. Work opportunities, even of a temporary nature, are growing less. These people must have relief immediately in the form of money to ease their acute situation. The winter months ahead are always the hardest for the poor. Make your own New Year brighter by helping these organla-tioiis carry this absolutely necessary burden through the winter.

Advertising Aids Consumer Mosl, Asserts Whalcn Buyer Greatest Gainer, Wanamaker Executive Tells Roslnn Ad. Club (Special to the Eagle) Boston. Jan. 6 The Individual citizen, the consumer above everyone else or any other group, is most benefited by advertising, Grover Whalcn. general manager of the John Wanamaker stores, told the Advertising Club of Boston today.

The consumer is the "great gain Mr. Wlialen explained, because of the contacts of advertising "its educational side, its cultural influ ence, its part in raising the stand ard of living, Its distribution of comforts, conveniences and luxu ries, its emphasis on health protec tion and the joy and value of ath lrtic and outdoor sports, its insis tence upon truth and honesty, its whole service to the people and to society. "Did you ever pause to think," Mr. Whalcn asked, "that advertising in this year of our Lord 1931 has placed the common man upon a basis of comfort and luxury as well that only the rich and high placed knew and could afford only a little while ago? "Of all the achievements and tri umphs of advertising that is the most striking, the most dramatic; to make the poor man peer of the prince; to put within the means of the hardworked and the humble the art, the literature, the entertainment, the standard of living the other material things that were, only a few decades ago, reserved solely for the aristocrat a.id the plutocrat. "Advertising has been, In short, the right hand of democracy and the companion of progress.

Some day the achievements and triumphs of advertising will be written in golden letters upon the walls of the temple of history."

Propaganda One Sees Young People Fooled by It -Attack Advertising Methods The widespread and well-financed propaganda methods of the wets, some of which were branded as "clever" and some "not so clever," were assailed by speakers at the monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Women's Constitutional Committee, held yesterday at the Central Y. W. C.

30 3d Ave. Mrs. Robert L. Weaver, president of the group, presided. The Rev.

William C. Judd, associ ate pastor of Central M. E. Church, upon Introduction Insisted that his Methodism does not account for his stand on prohibition. Does Not Concede Importance "The Methodist Church does not concede that 'What shall we and 'How shall we get what we want to as the great American question, though there are some who do.

It Is In' -rested in other questions equally as Important. These others who Insist this to be the great American question are using every means, both legitimate and otherwise, to achieve their ends. "With this constant propaganda before us there are those who are likely to think there Is some truth In It. Young people of 12 and 16 years of age, who haven't any memory of the saloon, are apt to be fooled by the type of advertising now current. It looks to them as thotigh the 18th Amendment were working great harm.

Several of our magazines apparently are lust simply bought out," the minister said, as rw called attention to several glaring adds In direct opposition to the dry cause. "Big Reason for Confusion" "One big reason why so many minds are apt to be confused Is because there is so much propaganda telling us that prohibition Is or must be a failure," the minister continued, anticipating that the forthcoming Wlckersham report, which he indicated would undoubtedly be unfavorable to the drys In much of its content, will 'ce "twisted" by the wets. The Rev. Mr. Judd attacked the inconsistency of Pierre S.

du Pont In saying that an emplover has the right to enforce prohibition in his own industry and yet who is a personal advocate for repeal. "Is an employer to be regarded as a greater personage, with more rights than the Government? Ask any representative group if a man is supnosed to be more loyal to his employer than to his Government." he said. The minister branded as "poor business advertising" the wet advertisements soliciting purchasing trade for certain products, the buying of which is said to directly aid the wet cause. He expressed his regret that the power of the press, In some Instances, will help to nullify rather than supoort what Is in the Constitution. The meaning of prohibition should be made a part of the A C's of education, he said.

'Are Doing Great Harm' The Rev. Lynn P. Armstrong, pastor of the Beverly Presbyterian Church, taking up the question of wet support by the press, said that newspapers espousing the wet cause are on "the wrong side, are detrimental to the race, are doing great harm to the American people and as newspapers have no right to exist." He expressed his satisfaction that a. man of the type of Frank E. Gannett is president of the Eagle and "controls other papers of that type." The Rev.

Mr. Armstrong acknowledged that he could understand the consistency of the wets, but declared, "when women who stand for repeal, wine and beer, say that they ere going back to 'real' temperance just because they are ashamed to say they are 'out and out' wet, then I have no use for them." He classed Mrs. Charles H. Sabin and her followers as "white blackbirds." The cry of the wets that doing away with prohibition would mean thousands of jobs for brewers and benefit the farmers is "underlylngly bad" in principle, for nothing Is said about the conditions that would result from the sale of liquor and who would drink it, the minister declared. 'Curs, to Workingman' "If the workingman needs our sympathy why give him something that has always been a curse to him?" he said.

Americans are apt to be slogan-minded, thinking little of the real meaning back of the slogan until the truth hits home, the Rev. Mr. Armstrong cautioned, saying, "I ad vocate protection for the homes of Americans and its young people. The whole Constitution would be a failure If the 18th Amendment were not enforced."

Hylan, now a Justice of the Children's Court, continued his battle against the proposed unification plan of Samuel Untermyer In a speech at the Federal Club, 44 Avenue Manhattan, last night.

After repeating his old charges that the price was too high, he alleged that the plan was illegal because Untermyer. had dickered on prices with the companies before a valuation had been set by the Transit Commission. He also said that the plan accomplished nothing, because the properties were already united under a single financial control. Aimm'hIh From (Ironrv's IMaiidaiims ami Plans lo Argue Doilil Injunction Two moves were niflde today by the Corporation Counsel In mi effort to keep present bus lines In operation and stave ofl, for the time be- Iiib, at least, the effects of the injunction issued by Supreme Court Justice Dodd and the mandamus is-sued by Supreme Court Justice Crop- sey. The Cropsey order compels city olllrlals to enforce the transportation law and put illegal bus lines out of business.

Justice Dodd's Injunction forbids the use of city money for any part of bus operation. Notice of appeal from the Cropsey mandamus was filed In the County Clerk's olTice at St. George, S. and automatically stayed that mandate. The mandamus was ordered on application of John Pape, Staten Island taxpayer." Justice Cropsey decided his application In 1327, but the formal order was delayed three years "to Rive the city authorities an opportunity to do something In the way of providing legal bus transportation." Three years went by with out anything belnR done.

The Dodd Injunction, obtained by Stanley Bogart, was slated for review by the Appellate Division this afternoon and it was expected that the Corporation Counsel will ask that it be set aside. The stay which he obtained will be continued until the court passes on the legality of Justice Dodd's order. Dr.F.

O. V. Leaders Offer Plan to Raise Money Without Lifting Taxes Eagla Bnrratl, Capitol Bulldlni, Albany, Jan. 6 Republican legislative leaders today outlined a plan for adding an extra $30,000,000 to the Stcte's 1931 construction program without increasing existing taxes or imposing new ones. The contained in a joint statement from Senator John Knight and S)cakrr Joseph A.

McGinnies, is that the additional construction program be financed from short-lerm notes issued in advance of next year's allotment from the bond issue authorized bv the voters last fall and from the bond issue ordinarily available at the rate of $10,000,000 a year. i lie statement contains a broad hint the the Republicans this year may go along with plans for unification of transit lines In New York City, although no definite promise is made. In Sympathy With Tlan We are Informed," said Senator Knight and Speaker McGinnies, 'through the public press that a proposal hns been put forward for the unification of the transit lines In New York City designed to retain the five-cent fare on the subways and at the same time provide better transportation to the people of New York. We are, of course, in sympathy with the avowed purpose of this plan and shall give the most careful consideration to its details." "It appears," the Republican leaders said in their statement, "the constitution and the State finance law will permit this method of financing. In this way $10,000,000, which under ordinary circumstances would be allocated In 1932, can be made available at once to carry out the program we have suggested." The only doubt cast on the plan of using the 1932 allocation In 1031 Is that the $50,000,000 hospital bond issue was limited to a maximum expenditure of $20,000,000 In any one year.

Every Provision TosHible Senator Knight and Speaker McGinnies, In their statement, declare their complete support of the policy of providing every cent possible for road and building construction during the period of depression. Fund Roaches Ml 0,1102 As the Brooklyn Unemployment Emergency Committee drive for $500,000 reached a grand total of $410,602.28 today, Surrogate George Albert Wingate, general chairman of the drive, issued a challenge to any Brooklynite who believes that stories about unemployment distress are being exaggerated to come to committee headquarters and see and hear for themselves. The challenge was occasioned by the fact that campaign workers re ported that some prospects were refusing to give to the drive bpcause they believed that the situation was not as serious as it was claimed.

Florida Temperature in Your Kitchen Kitchens know little about the changes in seasons. They remain warm summer and winter. It makes no difference to your refrigerator if the thermometer outside the kitchen window registers zero. The room temperature is probably at summer heat.

That is why it is so necessary to see that you have all the ice you need in winter as well as summer. Perishable food requires careful protection all around the calendar. You can be sure that your food is safeguarded if you keep the ice compartment of your refrigerator two-thirds full at all times. This will maintain the degree of coldness which the United States Government has found to be efficient in the preservation of food. in the world.

8 (4) The English Conservative party, speaking through Sir Samuel Hoare today, raised its voice in rjrotest against giving India responsible self-government. Sir Samuel said the Conservative attitude would be "noncommittal1 toward the whole scheme of a future Indian government, now being worked out at the Round Table con ference, until the "complete pic ture" of the proposed regime is pre' sented. From the start. Sir Samuel told the conference, he has been doubt ful of the wisdom of trying to ap ply the British House of Commons system to an All-India Federation. None of the conditions necessary to existence or responsible self-government are to be ound in India now, he said.

He spoke, he explained, without any desire to be obstructive, but the proponents of the proposed Indian Constitution would have to show him that their srheme was workable befoie he could support it. He said wanted to see a Federal Government installed In India, but that he could not shrink from the "hard facts." Only with the most complete goodwill in India could the complex constitutional scheme be possible, he declared, adding that in his opinion the present situation does not Indicate such goodwill exists. The present attempt, he warned, might end in setting up an unstable government in a country where there is already much inflammable material. The whole scheme Is fraught with so many practical difficulties. he added, that for the present he wouia oe lorced to withhold his ap- proval.

Interment will be at Albany, N. Y. the Brooklyn Women's Hoo ver-Curtis Constitutional Committee at Leverich Towers. She asserted that under the pres ent code of criminal procedure, men and women are equally guilty, but that as the law Is enforced, only women are prosecuted. His Chief Magistrate You have a chief magistrate in New York who stands as a non-enforcer of law and who is on record as saying that men are only casual offenders while women are habitual offenders," she said.

'I urge you to mobilize and de mand equal punishment for equal offenses." Mrs. Clivette made a sweeping arraignment of the city government in general and Mayor Walker and the courts In particular. She asserted that "you cannot get Justice In New York City without paying a fixer to get it for you," and that "from the lowest to the highest courts, the administration of justice is a matter of political duplicity." Discussing the women's courts particularly, she asserted that "nine out of every ten cases brought into court are frame-ups," and she reiterated her assertion that conditions in Brooklyn are as bad as they are in Manhattan and the other boroughs. Has Records for 20 Years "Four of the worst cases on my records are In your Brooklyn courts." she said, "and my records go back 20 years Many of the women who had been framed refused to fight their con victions, she added, because of fear of the attendant publicity. She charged that newspapers had been derelict In not informing citizens of their rights.

"No one may wilfully cross your threshold withhout your she advised her audience, "unless he has a properly Jgned warrant. Yet stool pigeons and officers are violating this constitutional right continually, and dragging Innocent women to court. Mrs. Olivette also scored Commis sioner Mulrooney for putting stool pigeons in uniform and sending them out on beats. "Because they wear brass buttons and a uniform instead of a badge under their lapels, why should they be qualified to protect the citizens?" she asked.

In a discussion of the Hammer-stein case, she charged that there had been numerous violations of the law. Mrs. Hammerstein, asserted, was booked In two police stations with no accompanying matron, and was then subjected to blood tests after her own physician had previously made such tests, both of which procedures, she said, are contrary to law. Charges Switching of Blood Tests She charged that physicians employed to make blood tests of arrested women do not sterilize their equipment and that oftentimes the records are switched so that women with positive tests receive a negative report and vice versa. In conclusion she urged the women to organize and be alive to the political situation, asserting that "It Is only through brave mothers that we may expect to have a clean community." Commends Newspapers Preceding her address, the Hoover-Curtis Committee, of which Dr.

L. Adele Cuihet is chairman, adopted a resolution commending the newspapers for the publicity they have given to the location of the new women's court.
