Mew York Kke El Paso has been running an employ
ment agency since January and is now trying to make
a survey of the work accomplished, the conditions which
had to be met, the possibilities of cooperating with the
United States department of labor, and the chance of
solving in part or whole the problem of the unemployed.
During three months 185,000 days' work were given
oi' l to men, women, boys, and girls. Many hundreds cf
cholarships" for training in work were given out to
r.ls vho showed special aptitudes. These scholarships
..-nuDted to paying them wages while they worked and
tutiied trades. In this way, young women have per
lecicd themselves in stenography and typewriting,
n.es making, millinery work, and other lines.
The city established workshops where men and
. omen out of work were set to caning chairs, repairing
: y-mture, rolling bandages, making children's clothing,
cevmg rugs, cobbling, sorting out old paper and basket
' eaving.
The commission in offering the report promises a
further study of fluctuating employment, those trades
here workers are employed in vast numbers for a short
while and then turned off; the dates of such chances for
employment and discharge will be ascertained and the
commission hopes to dovetail one with another and give
ihe workers a chance to go right on another job when
one gives out, instead of spending numberless idle ex
pensive days, after losing one job, hunting another.
It is losing heart while hunting a job that turns a
person from well to sick, and from hopeful and law
abiding to desperate and reckless. Any institution that
can provide information that will give a man or woman
a chance at a job when he is out of work is going
to save the community and the state much sickness
and loss.
American people are spending $275,000,000 a year in
the movies; 11,000,000 people go to the shows every
day a tremendous tide in human feeling. Nothing like
it ever happened to the world before. The world's
deep hunger for romance and for melodrama is being
fed for a nickel. The movies not only satisfy partly
the world hunger for adventure and travel but the
world curiosity as to how the rest of the world lives.
The pioneer joy, the greatest boon that ever came
to the man who must measure his journeys into joy
and life by his spare nickels, has been the newspaper.
With his newspaper every man is the peer of all men,
the world opens wide before him. He knows all that
anyone knows. The world is his open book. He is a
citizen of everywhere. He participates in every ad
venture, sits in great councils, visits great men. Today
the daily newspaper is like the daily bread. Men get
their growth and strength by it and they make and
take their hold and position in life by it
There is nothing to be bought with millions of
dollars that would take the place of the newspaper
at the end of the day. There is nothing that millions
can buy that has more satisfaction in it at the end
of the day's work than a reliable, fair minded, wide
awake, clean newspaper.
And it is plain to be seen that the richest man is
not so much richer than the poor man who has the
price of a street car fare, the price of a movie, and the
price of a paper, to spare over and above the bread
and meat expenses of life.

According to statistics of the class, 22 percent of
the seniors of Princeton have never been kissed. The
boys evidently forget their mothers when they answered
the question.
John Bunny, the movie funny man, is dead, but the
world will go on laughing at him for many a year.
He won a new form of immortality this clown who
was born just in time to become a really great genius
of the new theater, the moving picture show. His
comicality was his own, something irresistibly side split
ting in the way he got into trouble and out of it again,
with a face and a figure both that lent themselves
perfectly to his interpretations of woe and astonish
ment, despair and relief.
Before be took up the pantomime work he played
everything that is funny, from negro minstrelsy to
Shakspere's wise fools and innocent downs. However,
it was the film that made John Bunny famous, and
the film that John Bunny made famous. They were
made for each other.
His unquenchable jollity has given the world many
a good laugh and many a lesson in good temper. Prob
ably nobody in the world does more good than a good
funny man. riot only does a laugh clear the mind
and cure dyspepsia, which is in itself the root of much
crime and mistake and dull sodden failing, but every
laugh does its little to establish the habit of taking
life good humoredly which perhaps after all is the
secret of successful living.

Roller skating on the streets was never very safe
even before the days of multitudes of automobiles and
motor bicycles, but these days it is 99 times out of 100
a risk of life. Parents and police ought to combine to
keep roller skating youngsters off the street and also
to stop "hanging on behind," a favorite practice still
with many small boys and ome girls, and one that
their fathers and mothers before them enjoyed without
risk of life.
It is a sad story coming from England where states
men are proposing and urging a general forgiveness of
girls that are soon to become mothers and no wedding
ring or marriage papers to save them from hard talk.
Thousands, many of them children themselves, are
awaiting the bearing of life, a vast excess over the
normal number, on account of the soldier boys going off
to war and leaving broken hearts behind.
Because of war the government sees a need for all
the children that are due to come to England, and sees
a duty to protect the mind and heart of all the girl
mothers. Their number brings them pity, and the sad
thing is that only war tragedies and war exhaustion
bring the world to think of forgiving even a young girl
who sins by loving.

The mayor elect of Warren, Illinois, is a woman 74

In New York betting is even that the war will end
by or before October 30 this year, that is, that fighting
will be stopped and peace overtures begun. Betting
is a luxury not only of money but of a mind given
over to foregone conclusions. Students of history and
political science who study the strength and the ideals
of nations are not the ones offering the bets. It is
the professional gamblers betting for betting's sake
and means nothing.

Bedtime Story For tke Little Ones
"Uncle Wiggily and Jimmie Caw-Caw."
By HOWARD B. GARIS.
V
ELL, what In the world
have you there. Mr. Long
ears'" asked Nurse Jane
F uzzj Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house
keeper, as Uncle Wlggily. the rabbit
gentleman, came hopping un to the
hollow stump bungalow. -What in the
v orld is it?"
"It's a crow in a cage," replied Uncle
Wiggils "In a bird cage, I might
say," he went on. slowly turning it
around, like a pinwheel on the fourth
of J'-ly, only, of course, it wasn't.
- Yes. I can easily see that It is a
crow in a bird cage." spoke Nurse
lane, as she wiped a dab of flour off
her nose, for she was Just then making
a potato shortcake with strawberry
sauce on "But what does it mean?
i here did you get him? And what is
his i ime""
Tust then the crow in the bird cage
dismally said
Caw-Caw"
-That's his name." spoke Uncle Wig
g 1 as he blew some cornmeal out of
liis car with a shaving brush. "This
crow's name is Jimmie Caw-Caw and
T rretended I was a scarecrow and
caught fc'm."
'Pretended you were a scarecrow,
and caught him!" cried Nurse Jane,
is she quickly tied her tail in a bow
knot and then loosened it again.
That's Just what I did," Uncle Wis
.a answered, perhaps the least bit
i.roudly, as he had a right to do. "I
pit up a scarecrow to keep Grand
father Goosey Gander's corn from be-i-ig
eaten up. hut the crows became so
i sed to the raggedity, flapping figure
iat they sat on its head and held caw
lrsr matches on its arms.
"That would never do, I thought,
- I got inside the scarecrow myself,
- :id a little while ago, when the crows
ime to pull up the corn. I caught this
immie Caw-Caw in the empty bird
ire "
"I see" said Nurse Jane. -But, now
lat you have him, what are you go
iir to do with him?"
"I wish you'd let me go. Uncle Wlg
,ilv," said Jimmie Caw-Caw, in a sad
md croaking voice.
-Not right away I can't let you go,
Jimmie." Uncle Wlggily said. "I want
to keep you a little while, and teach
on thai it is not nice to pull up
irancrpa Goosey's corn, as you and
our friends did. I am going to give
ou some much needed lessons."
-In this cage?" asked Jimmie. who
wanted to get out and fly.
Yes. in the cage," answered Uncle
R iggily
-Oh dear! Caw! Caw! Caw! croaked
the black crow.
But there was no help for it. He
had been a little bad. though per
haps he had not meant to be, and had
known io better. But still he must be
'aught to be good. So Uncle Wiggily,
ho had caught Jimmie in stum a
fjnm -nay (as I told ou in the story
before this one) kept the black feath
ered ehap in the bird cage.
The rabbit gentleman explained how

his torn pulled up, and how the crows

and spoiling the goose gentleman's
xnea.1 corn.
All right' I'll be good!" promised
Timmie Caw-Caw, "I won't pull up any
more corn "
"Then I'll let you out of the bird
rage, said Uncle Wiggily. And be
did But. by this time, Jimmie was so
fond of the rabbit gentleman, and also
of Nurse Jane, that he did not fly
3r He had become a tame crow,
and he liked it very much at the hol
low stump bungalow

seked Nurse Jane, as she looked all

shaking her paw at him. "I believe
you took my thimble."
"Yes, I did." truthfully said Jimmie
Caw-Caw. "We crows love to pick up
anything bright that we see. I hid
your thimble in the inkwell! Really I
couldn't help it"
"Oh. dear: In the inkwell!" cried
Nurse Jane. "Now I will get. all black
If I fish it out."
"Let me do it for you," begger Jim
mie Caw-Caw. "I am all black any
how, and al lttle more ink will make
no difference."
So the crow boy fished Nurse Jane's
thimble out from the ink. Now you
would have thought, would you not,
that the crow chap would have been
good after that" But be- was not.
Sometimes he would hide Nurse
Jane's scissors, or her sidecombs, and
once he took her five and ten cent
store diamond bracelet and hid it in
the carrot soup. Uncle Wiggily found
It there when he was eating. He bit
on it. ker-crunch!
"There is no use talking, Jimmie
Caw-Caw!" exclaimed the rabbit gen
tleman. "This is worse than pulling
corn. Ton must be better, or I shall
sentl you away."
"Oh. don't'" cawed Jimmie. and he
would promise to be very good. But
he never wab for very long at a time.
So finally Uncle Wiggily and Nurse
Jane said they must send him away.
But thst very day a bad egg dog
chased Uncle Wiggily, and was going
to bite him, as the rabbit gentleman
came home from the store.
"Here! You let Uncle Wlggily alone"
called the crow boy. "Let him alone!
Haw! Haw! Haw!" Then Jimmie flew
at the dog. and picked him so hard on
his nose that the dog ran howling
away and -didn't bite Uncle Wiggily

"I guess we'll have to keep Jimmie."
said Uncle Wlggily. "He is too useful
to let go, even if he does hide things.
We'll keep him."
"I think so, too," spoke Nurse Jane.
So Jimmie stayed at the hollow stump
bungalow. He and Uncle Wiggilv had
many more adventures. And Til tell

Editor 1 Paso Herald:
In your issue of Tuesday, page four.
In an article referring to the acting
American boundary commissioner, Hon.
John Wesley Gaines, reprinted from the
Washington Star, it is incidentally af
firmed that -Senor Belt ran y Puga, the
last Mexican commissioner, still holds
his commission and holds
tight to documents in his possession,
refusing to relinquish them to any
Mexican authority." Such an assertion
Is altogether unfounded, since I turned
over many months ago my former of
fice and all its appurtenances to the
proper Mexican authorities de facto,
and I have been ever since without any
connection whatever either with the
boundary commission or any factional
government of Mexico. As a matter of

royally and except for a few insigni

have reason to feel proud of the man
ner in which their city acquitted itself
According to the expressed opinion of
visiting newspaper men, whose judg
ment may be relied upon, Bl Paso made
a better demonstration in honor of the
president than any other city of twice
its size along the route thus far reached
in the trip from Washington. The
cerrBionles, too, were In a measure
unique and the part played in them
by Mexico and the Mexican citizen of
Bl Paso added to the attractiveness of
the demonstration.

of swine, as he drudges along in the heat of the day, for a crust and a drink and
some counterfeit pay; but here in this land of the brave and the free, he bubbles
with mirth and he chortles with glee; he whoops and he laughs, where the peasant
repines, and bores us with tales of his succotash -noes.
