ran:
“ ‘I, the undersigned, Fritz Rein

have said about the innocent Ulrich

exclamation, “You mendacious mouth,
why do you lie so?” I declare further

The boys, alone, were playing near

“Oh, grandpa, I get the dollar!
Bob has ruined his new suit.”
“How?”
“Why, he fell Into the well.”
Grandfather, by working frantically,
was able to rescue the almost drowned

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.
DIVERSIFIED PHILOSOPHY
All homely girls should cheer right
up
Who live within this city;
For all who meet untimely fates.
Our papers say were pretty.
One thing the talkies ought to have,
And then I’d be content;
That one thing is, I’ll say to you.
Nasal disarmament.
If Raskob and Cannon did not
Distrust each other so.
And Cannon would take Raskob’s
steer,
He might win back the dough.
Our City Dads have cuttour tax;
But have you noticed, Stephen,
Our tax cuts come the odd years in,
Elections'come in even?
The comic strips that tickle most—
Although there are some peaches,
Are those one sees on ever hand
About our summer beaches.
Who wears no stocking on the leg,
Is she a hard boiled egg?
W’ll maybe so; but maybe, though,
She’d rather wash the leg.

Not Many Out of Jobs.
Samuel Crowther in the Saturday
Evening Post.
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.

to tradition, do not take Mis3 Daf

The promoter of the venture

The mosquitoes in question
have cannibalistic traits, and
when in the larvae stage feed
on the larvae of other mosqui

It is proposed to breed the

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.
