More than 1,000 men and women
are out of employment in the city,
1 was estimated last night by
Mayor Edward W. Staebler. At the
'owest figure, the mayor said, there
are between three and four de-
pendents on each of the people out
of work and betwe !t j00 arid
4,000 persons in the cetJ directly
affected by the present situation.
At the employment exchange
last night, maintained under the
direction of the mayor's committee
in the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing, there were 650 persons regis-
tered seeking work, W. H. Faust, in
charge of the exchange stated.
There are about 15 calls per day for
nmen to work, he said, and estimated
that six more persons are registered
each day.
Men Clear Woods.
The number of unemployed was
Ottimated on the basis of the ex-
change reports and on the reports
of several of the social service or-
ganizations in the city. One hun-
dred fifty men were thrown out
of work last week by the disastrous
Cavac Radio company fire. None
pf these men have registered yet.
Relief work in the form of distri-
bution of sand and wood has been
extremely successful, Mayor Staeb-
ler reported. Sand has been furn-
Ished by the University and by
several organizations in the city
and is sold to the residents of the
town as a remedy for icy walks and
slippery steps. Men are also at work
in nearby timber tracts clearing up
dead wood which is sold at current
prices to the people of the city and
is also used to provide fuel in homes
'here this is necessary. The pro-
seeds from the sales is used to buy
meal tickets and to adespecially

#aam blet being
_ e cont e, relief is
alexpected in construction jobs
through the rest of the winter. The
'Vinewood sewer project, held up
through some property differences,
has bee-n rerouted and will soon
provide employment for possibly 50
men. The $350,000 sewer project will
very soon be let, the pamphlet
states, and contains a clause assur-
ing the employment of Ann Arbor
men. Where possible, University
cons ruction contracts are speci-
fying the employment of local
labor.
The pamphlet also contains some
"arpdies of unfairness in the treat-
ment of unemployed men. In one
instance a man received 25 cents
%or four hours of work.

Humans Learn But
Little Faster Than
Rats. Says Shepard
"The distinction between rats and
human beings in learning mazes is
not so great as might be supposed,"
said Prof. John F. Shepard, of the
psychology department, last night,
in addressing the meeting of the
Psychological Journal club.
Professor Shepard, who has been
engaged during the last few years
in conducting such exu riments
personally, and in correlating the
results obtained by other observers
among his advanced classes, finds
that humans learn only a little
faster than rats do, and that their
methods indicate a slightly better

(y Associated Press)1
LANSING, Jan. 14.-After more
than a year's study the state crime
commissio4 authorized by the 1929,
legislature has made its report, de-
claring it was unable to determine
the primary or moving cause of
crime and describing the problem
as one so gigantic a permanentf
commission shouldbe c stablished.
Gambling, the use of narcotics,1
"easy money from bootlegging," the
use of liquor by minors and other
things were mentioned as probable
causes of crime, but the report said
there "is no single cause; likewise
there is no panacea to be offered."
To discourage crime in the fu-
ture the commission advocated ac-
tion by the legislature to requireI
schools to offer instruction in char-I
acter, morals and law observance.
A psychiatric clinic at Jackson
prison, permanent grand juries in
the larger counties, stiffer penal-
ties for "racketeers," periodic auto-
mobile drivers' licenses and modifi
cation of substantive laws to pro-
vide standardization of punish-
ment were recommended.

NEW RECORD SETI
FOR CONVIC TIONS
County Obtains 769 Convictions
in 882 Prosecutions.
A record of 86 per cent in con-
victions of the total number of
prosecution for the six-month per-
iod ending Dec. 1 was made known
yesterday by Carl H. Stuhrberg,
former prosecuting attorney. Of
882 prosecutions, the county suc-
ceeded in obtaining 769 convictions,
a new high mark.
Two sentences meted out by Judge
'George W. Sample were life im-
prisonment, while 63 others were

son.
bi'vers Escape Injury
in L oAuto Accidents
Two au .rmobile accidents occur-
ed almost simultaneously Wednes-
day afternoon.
An automobile driven by Bennett
Weaver, 1426 Brooklyn avenue, was
demolished when he crashed into
a telephone pole at the intersection
of Ferdon and Wells streets in an
attempt to avoid colliding with a
machine driven by Charles Hahn,
734 Fountain street.
Five minutes later a collision oc-
curred at the intersection of Fourth
and Ann streets in which cars driv-
en by Dr. A. H. Pearson, 303 First
National bank building, and Elmer
Gage, 1607 S. State street, were in-
volved. Dr. Pearson was making a
left turn from Ann to Fourth street
when the collision occurred. Both
cars were damaged.
In each instance the drivers es-
caped injury.
RED CROSS GETS I
FIRST DONATION
Citizen Aided by Society Starts
Fund in Ann Arbor Drive.
A contribution of $5 from a man
whom the Ann Arbor chapter of
the Red Cross aided in obtaining
compensation was the first check
received yesterday as the drive
opened to raise $1,000 for relief of
sufferers in the drought-stricken
areas of the country.
The money, the contributor told
the Red Cross, was taken from his
compensation check.
Appeal for funds was launchedt
following receipt of a telegram from
the national chairman of the Red
Cross in which the organization is
attempting to raise $10,000,000 to
be used in relief work in the affect-
ed areas.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15..- Driven
back from their $15,000,000 food
loan demands, the senate Demo-
crats reformed their lines today in
a new stand for
appropriations to
feed those threat-
ened with starva-
tion.
The leader of
the minority, Sen-
ator Robinson of
Arkansas, set as
. the price of com-
pleting the legis-
lative program for
this session a $25,-
000,000 fund to be
JoSEPH QInNSoN administered b y
the Red Cross,
without provision for repayment.
Seoi g the hopelessness of their
earlier position, the food appropria-
tion sponsors yielded Wednesday to
let the $45,000,000 drought relief
loan appropriation go to the White
House, stripped of the Caraway
amendment which would have giv-
en $15,010,000 more for food
