"It's all right!" cried Bob. "I found

Of course "him" meant the young Bob

"Whatr exclaimed Mrs. Bob. "What

there?"
"A henyard is a place where Farmer

is a prisoner there."
"How dreadful!" cried Mrs. Bob.

"A BAKER'S DOZEN"
TTERE is a phrase whose acquaint
11 ance we have all made and which
we understand to indicate a quantity
more than twolve—usually thirteen.
A colorful bit of history is con
tained within the confines of these
few words.
For they take us back to the days
in England when to give short weight
was an offense visited with swift and
heavy punishment, upon detection.
And it was to avoid this risk of
giving short weight that bakers were
accustomed to giving thirteen rolls
for twelve—thus contributing to our
idiom an expressive allusion to the
days of old in a modern setting.

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESft
"That what Peter Itabbft !s al
ways saying, but after all we've suf
fered from them, I can't quite make
up my mind that any of those great
two-legged creatures are to be trust
ed," said little Mrs. Bob. "I've got to
see for myself."
"You shall," declared Bob. "Tomor
roy morning you shall go up there,
and I'll stay here to look after the
rest of the youngsters. I am afraid
if we left them alone some of them
would be careless or foolish enough
to go where the hunters would find
them."
So the next morning Mrs. Bob went
up to visit young Bob who was a
prisoner in Farmer Brown's henyard,
and she saw all that Bob had seen the
day before. She returned with a
great load off her mind. She knew
Bob was right and that Farmer
Brown's boy had proved himself a
true friend from whom there was noth
ing to fear. The next day Bob and
Mrs. Bob took the whole family up
there, for Farmer Brown's boy had
scattered food for them just outside
the henyard where the blddlss could
not get It, and Bob was smart enough
to know that no hunters would dare
look for them so close to Farmer
Brown's house. Morning after mor.v
ing they went up there to get their
breakfast, and they didn't even fly
when Farmer Brown's boy and Farm
er Brown himself came out to watch
them eat.
Then one morning a wonderful thing
happened. Farmer Brown's boy cams
out and took young Bob out of his pen
In the henyard. Young Bob looked
quite himself by this time, for the
stripe of cloth which had bound his
broken wing In place had been taken
off and his wing was as good ae ever.
Farmer Brown's boy took him outside
the henyard and gently put him down
on the ground.
"There you are! Now go and Join
your family and In the future keep
out of the way of hunters," said he,
and laughed to see young Bob scampar
over to Join his brothers and sisters.
Such a fuss as they made over him!
Suddenly Bob White flew up to the
top of a post, threw back his head
and whistled with all his might, "Bob
White! Bob White! Bob White!"
You see, he Just had to tell all the
great world of the Joy In his heart.
After that the Bob Whites flew back
to the Green Meadows, young Bob with
them, and all day long they whistled
from sheer happiness.
And this is how it happened thac
Bob White and his whole family came
regularly to Farmer Brown's for their
breakfast and no hunter ever had an
other chance to carry fright, and suf
fering, and sorrow into their midst.

DIVINING BY THE MOON
TN DIFFERENT sections of the
United States and Canada young
maidens who have arrived at that age
at which they begin to be curious
about their matrimonial prospects are
accustomed, when they first see the
new moon, to repeat:
New moon, trus moon, tell unto me
Who my true love la to be,
The color of his hair, the clothes he la
to wear
And when he'll be married to me.
This Invocation should be repeated
while holding some article in the hand
—a handkerchief, any article will do
—and the article so held should be
placed under the maiden's pillow when
she goes to bed. Then will she see in
a dream her future husband. This is,
of course, merely a survival of moon
worship an appeal to the goddess
when she is represented in her most
potent, or at least most popular, form
as a crescent in the sky. The mystic
beams of the crescent moon falling
upon the article held in the hand of
her worshiper impart to It some of
the magic power of the goddess—the
article is, as It wvere, an offering made
to the moon-goddess, touched by her
rays and thus accepted. The offering
thus "charged" by the essence of the
divinity naturally retains, during the
night, under the maiden's pillow, that
property which supplies a direct con
nection between the moon-goddess and
the maiden. The line of sympathy, by
the magic of contact, is complete and
the goddess, harkening to the prayer
of her votary, showed her in a dream
her future husband. Did not Selene
glide down her silver beams to kiss
the sleeping Endymlon on the slopes
of Latinos? Why not to bestow a vi
sion upon a maiden votary in any part
of the country.

Tremendous Increase in
Unemployment in Two
Years, Figures Reveal.
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Unem
ployment in 16 major countries is now
200 per cent higher than in the spring
of 1929. These figures are agreed
upon by the Trade Union Congress
office in London, England, and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor.
The international data in the files
of the bureau of iabor statistics gives
as complete returns as are to be had
on this important matter. They shown
that European countries were feeling
the impact of unemployment in June
of 1929 to a much greater extent than
it was felt in the United States, where
the beginnings of the depression were
not felt at all until the following
month.
In Austria the number in receipt of
unemployment benefits in July, 1929,
was 104,399, which had grown in
April, 1931, to 246,795. Similar
sources in Belgium show the wholly
unemployed in July, 1929, to have
numbered 4,037 in April, 1931, 8,135.
In Canada the unemployed trade
unionists in April, 1929, were reported
as 6,003, or 3.0 per cent while in
April, 1931, the number had risen to
32,300, or 15.5 per cent.
Big Czechoslovakian Increase
Czechoslovakia reported in July,
1929, that the number of those re
ceiving trade union unemployed bene
fits was 16,859, or 1.6 per cent while
in March, 1931, the report showed a
total of 119,350 unemployed, or 10.0
per cent. The number of unemployed
registered in Finland for the same
dates was 1,888 for 1929 as against
1,491 in 1931.
The situation was more serious in
Denmark in 1929, as shown by the
trade union records of 26,621 unem
ployed, or 9.6 per cent, which had in
creased by April, 1931, to 45,698, or
15.9 per cent. In Germany the num
ber of registered unemployed in July,
1929, was 1,251,452, and in April, 1931,
this had increased to 4,358,000, or
three and one-half times. Trade un
ion figures showed 33.6 per cent un
employed in March, 1931, as against
8.6 per cent in July, 1929.
Most astonishing are the figure?
from France—concerning which some
doubt exists as to their relative ac
curacy—which shows that in July,
1929, the number receiving unem
ployed benefits was 399, which had
increased by April 1931, to 49,958.
British Increase 16.5 Per Cent
In Great Britain and Northern Ire
land those wholly unemployed on the
rolls of compulsory insurance num
bered 881,189 in 1929, or 7.4 per cent
as against 2,052,826. or 17.5 per cent
in March, 1931.
Italy reported unemployed regis
tration to 201,868 in 1929, which had
risen in March, 1931, to 707,486
Norway's live register of unem
ployed in July, 1929, showed 12,417
while in April, 1931, this had in
creased to 28,477 the trade union re
ports showing an increase of from
10.2 per cent in 1929 to 25.5 per cent
in December, 1930.
The appalling condition in Poland
in July, 1929, was that of 17.7 per
cent of unemployment, with an in
crease by January, 1931, to 23.8 per
cent.
Rapid Development in U. S.
When unemployment developed in
the United States, it came rapidly in
a peak, as the April, 1930, census
showed more than two millions, in
creasing by the following January to
about six millions.

WHATNEXT?
Addressing the Society for Coal Re
search at Bochum, Germany, Prof.
Wilhelm Gluud said that albumin can
now be derived synthetically from
coal. After years of study, he said, a
point had been reached where it is
possible to obtain all the elements of
albumin from certain chemicals con
tained in coal at a cost which would
permit artificial albumin to compete
with the natural product. Albumin is
used for clarifying purposes, as in
sugar-refining and cookery and also
in the printing of calico, photogra
phy, etc.
Rate Boost Hearing*
Bars Railroad Wages
Washington.—The question of
wages of railroad employes was bar
red from the interstate commerce
commission's hearing on the petition
of the railroad executives for a 15
per cent increase in freight rates.
An attorney asked one of the ex
ecutives if he did not think railroad
wages are too high. Commissioner
Meyer stopped the proceedings with
the statement that "we shall have to
deal with wages as they stand."
Long Hours Imposed
On Women and Minors
Asheville, N. C.—A number of
Asheville .employers are charged with
taking advantage of economic condi

hours, in many instances "amounting
to cruel and inhuman treatment." The
Asheville Central Labor Union de
mands that the city authorities en
force without fear or favor all vio

women and children labor.
