This withdrawal ran: “ ‘I, the undersigned, Fritz Rein hardt, hereby withdraw everything I have said about the innocent Ulrich Barthoidt, calling myself an infamous liar, and striking my mouth with the exclamation, “You mendacious mouth, why do you lie so?” I declare further more that I know nothing but good about the angelic character of Ulrich Barthoidt, nr.d I call myself once more an tnfamons liar of the first class.

DUGOUT’ SERVES AS HOME IN CITY BUSINESS CENTER SAN FRANCISCO—(UP)—Habits of “dugout” dwelling in France proved an inspiration to Frank Schroeder and Frank Madero, who a year ago constructed a bit of "front line trench” in the heart of San Francisco’s business district. Hie men were "broke” and there was a vacant lot at Larkin and Market streets, within a stone throw of the stately cluster of municipal center buildings. Comparatively calm Larkin street was on one side while on the other was the clanging four-way electric car service of Market street. That the vacant lot was valued at $100,000 didn’t matter to the vet erans who sought assurance of a regular place to live. Calling information from the fund of memory, a “dugout” sud denly adorned the choice uptown lot, with bits of canvas and other refuse forming walls, floors and ceilings. Madero was and is a sales man of plants. Among other things the pair made the lot, formerly an unsightly place, a flower garden and repository of beautiful shrubbery. Because of the improved appearance no cne objected. Just as early home seekers of the old west “squatted” and “stayed put,” so did Schroeder and Madero remain in their tiny cave. As the weeks sped by the cave improved in appearance. Flowers and shrubs concealed most of it and enlargements were made. Telephone service was installed about eight months ago and with prosperity came a radio, and other comforts of home. The kitchen is completely furnished, running water and all There is a rcomy living room, a cozy and restful place. Schroeder and Madero boast of being the only “cavemen in San Francisco” as well as possessing the distinction of having “squatted” on $100,000 worth of property and got ten away with it.

One comes across many rumors of unemployment being widespread. I'his is put down ift part to indus try being spotty and in part to ma chines displacing men. A large num ber of workers have been let out of coal mining and the textiles during the last few years, but our popula tion has become so mobile that few of these workers have stayed, in the MODERN WHALERS MAKE BIG HAULS IN SOUTHERN SEA SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA— — /t is estimated that 6,000 whales have been killed in the last six years in the Ross sea by three whale factory ships and their at tendant chasers. According to reports received from New Zealand, the Nor wegian factory ship C. A. Larsen made 75,000 barrels of whale oil, English fashion, in their old neigh borhoods waiting for jobs. The New England textile workers have rather largely gone into the motor car and accessory factories which are so arranged that no pre vious mechanical skill is required. The coal miners have gone into road building or other construction work where their experience is of value. Inquiry into districts which should have large numbers of unemployed because factories have closed shows that many of those listed as out of work are not in the district at all. It would seem that the majority of the unemployed everywhere are the unemployable who will net or cannot work. They are not numer ous. There is everywhere a positive shortage of first class machinists, but generally speaking there is neither a shortage nor a surplus of labor. Any iactory which pays high wages is besieged with applicants but those that pay lower wages have trouble in getting men. The tendency everywhere is carefully to pick men with a view to permanency. This makes the labor turnover very low and also it is hard on the casual laborers and other drifters who want to work awhile and move on. When the word went out last winter that the Detroit motor car factories were taking on men, the tramps came in droves by freight and by lizzie. Many of them never even applied for work, while most of the others were spotted by the employment managers. The news went out that Detroit was overflow ing with worthy workers who could not find jobs and the relief associ ations had their hands full. In point of fact, Detroit had net nearly so much of an unemployment problem as it had a bum problem. All the statistics on unemploy ment are unreliable, for one active unemployed man can in a single day register at enough agencies to be counted a» 10 unemployed men by nightfall. Against this may be set the brighter men who go out and hunt for their own jobs. But if machines are displacing men, the results do not show in the best figures available. The annual spring survey of the National As sociation of Manufacturers covering 23 industries shows that the trades in which the greatest mechanical improvements have been made are also the trades which give the highest percentages of increased employment over a similar period of last year. ■ •■ - - NEWSPAPERWOMAN STARTS RACE FOR TEXAS GOVERNOR AUSTIN, TEX - —A newspa per woman has announced her can didacy for the governorship of Tex as—a year in advance of the 1930 primaries. Miss Katie Daffan’s ccmpaign will mark her debut in the political arena. It may be the climax to an active literary career and many years of leadership in Texas wo men's organizations. Sponsoring her candidacy is the Texas division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, of which she has been president four times. This second woman to seek the rank of chief executive in the Lone Star state may be opposed by Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, who was gov ernor before Dan Moody, the in cumbent. Some political prophets say that Mrs. Ferguson again will be a candidate. She was defeated for re-election last year. The state's men politicians, true to tradition, do not take Mis3 Daf fan’s candidacy seriously.

IL—(UP) — Some of the lay observers ap pear dubious, but Hawaii is go ing to import more mosquitoes to make fewer mosquitoes. The promoter of the venture is C. E. Pemberton, entomolo gist. who has sent his first ship ment from New Britain island. The mosquitoes in question have cannibalistic traits, and when in the larvae stage feed on the larvae of other mosqui toes—Pemberton assured skep tical laymen. It is proposed to breed the cannibal mosquitoes and turn them loose to prey on other varieties that find excellent fare in human blood. did they take Mr3.

She has been state president of the Texas Woman's Press associa tion. state historian of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution, state secretary of the General Fed eration of Woman’s Clubs and sup erintendent of the Confederate Wo man’s home. Miss Daffan probably will finS herself in a large field of candidates. Politicians predict a multi-cornered race to determine who shall succeed Governor Moody. One Goat Is Price Paid For a Wife in the East WASHINGTO N—Most of the 2.000,000 Kurds in the Near East inhabit the eastern part of Turkey, says the National Geographic so ciety although a few tribes are scat tered over the northern part of Iraq and western Persia. “Under the Moslem law,” to quota a geographic bulietin, "the Kurd may take four wives. Wives are bought, so the peasant usually ha3 only one. The chiefs take the full quota. Wives are priced according to their rank. The tribesman can get a wife in exchange for a pony or a goat, or one may cost the equivalent of $2,500. The wedding entails a season of merrymaking in which the whole tribe joins, but it takes less than a minute to dis solve a union. The man simply says T divorce you' three times, and the parties are free.” ---— Q. Please tell something about the Portuguese language. J. M. S. A. The Portuguese language is a Romance language resembling the Spanish and paralleling it rather closely in grammar. The Portuguese vocabulary shows considerable bor rowing from the French. According to the latest estimates there seem to be 11 vowel sounds and some 26 consonantal sounds. One of the most marked features of Portuguese as compared with other Romance languages is the loss of the inter vocalic 1 and n. thus quaes repre sents the Latin quxles and pessoa the Latin persona. An interesting phenomenon of Portuguese is th« appearance of a personal or in flected infinitive, which makes pos sible a very succinct construction comparable to the Latin accusative and infinitive. cerns, have accounted for 2,061 whales this season. Adding this season’s reported catches to the official figures for previous years published by the New Zealand Marine department, the three factory ships have ac counted for more than 6,600 whales in six years. ■ -■»» ■ ■ As Circumstances Change.
