WHAT AUSTRIA DOES
WITH THE UNEMPLOYED

One of the greatest charitable insti-
tutions in the world has just been per
fected in Austria. For centuries the
state has recognized the fact that a
man, through no fault of his own may
be unemployed. and that at the same
time, there may be many willing ald
eager to give him employment. The
state has recognized il as its duty to
bring the two together. For this pur-
pose every town in Austria has at
least one employment bureau; the
larer towns have several, which are
connected with one another by tele-
phone. In nearly every town there is
also a government workshop. and in
the villages a government farm, also
under the labor department Any
man or woman who Is out of work
may go to the nearest bureau and
learn in the course of few minutes
what chances he or she has of find
ing job that day. Those in need OF
employees register at the nearest bu.
reau and their desires are telephoned
throughout the district. If no place
offers. the worker may spend the day
In the waiting room of the bureau or
be sent to the government workshop
or farm, as the case may be. where he
tolls for his board and lodging until
he is informed that place is waiting
for him.

SiLNERToN, March 5.-The worst

up South Mineral creek. The cold
storage plant was of brick and filed
with meats, the loss being fully So

to run at this point before.
A slide at the Iowa mill carried
away the oil house and the transfor-
mer building, few tons of snow pill
ing up in the mill, resulting in dam
age to the extent of over $1,000.
