you, but according to the contract
you have signed you must accept the
position if the man will accept you,
or pay the employment agency what
would have been one weeks salary.
This will surprise some of the peo-
pie who read the advertisements of
some of the employment agencies as
carried by the Tribune. One of the
biggest ads reads: eff you are not
satisfied with your position, let us
place you where you will be salts
fed" and if you are foolish enough
to take the ad at its face value you
are very apt to get a position in a
veritable sweatshop, because the en-
ployment agency is also the last re-
sort of an employer when he has a
position that he cannot fill by ordin-
airy methods.
There is something vastly amusing
in this idea that because one is a
toiler one should have nothing to say
about the environment or the condi-
tons under which one spends the
greater part of the waking hours.

FRIED HOMINY WITH BACON
Should Be Made the Staple Dish for
Breakfast, With, of Course,
Little Fruit.

First fry the thin slices of bacon in
a frying pan, then cut the cold hominy
in slices and fry in the fat. 1t is well
to have plenty, so as to avoid the
need Of another meat or hearty dish
for the meal! Rolls or cold bread or
almost any other little ceremonial
dish will complete the ordinary light
breakfast, with the coffee. OF course,
little fruit is always in order at any
meal, whether custom or fashion calls
for it or not That usually is more a
matter of convenience and economy
or luxurious indulgence than other
wise, although for breakfast the fruit
is of especial value as an appetizer
and clearer of the taste and whole sys-
tenn than at any ether time. We are
all so apt to have no appetite and also
to be sluggish in the morning that
fruit is a very desirable addition to the
first meal of the day at any season.

JEWEL ROBBERS KEEP BUSY
Thieves Reaplng Rich Harvest In Eng
land-ContlnentaI and United
States Crooks Blamed.

Revival of the hopes of recovering
the famous $675,0O0 pearl necklace
which was stolen from the registered
mail between Paris and London has
concentrated attention on the huge
harvest of jewels which thieves have
been reaping in England.
Within the last few months Jewels
valued at close to 100000 have
stolen in this country. Scarcely a
day passes but that Scotland Yard
is notified Of some new theft of
gems. The seaside places at present
are the favorite fields of the thieves.
The officials of Scotland Yard are
convinced that a big gang of con-
tinental and United States thieves
are responsible for the havoc, but
they have been unable to obtain the
slightest clews, as the thieves are
careful not to leave any. Certain men
in the west end of London who have
the reputation of being jewel
"fences" have been carefully watched
but without result
The facility with which the thieves
get rid of the jewels ON the CONT
nent, and particularly at Brussels, is
one of the handicaps which the po-
lice are working under. Sales are
easily effected and no questions asked
so long as the price demanded is

II Is composed of two parts, the first
being a plain pilaf, which should be
made before the second part is com

Ingredients: Five cupfuls Of stock,
two cupfuls Of rice, two tablespoonfuls
butter, salt and pepper.

broth. Season to taste and boil over
a strong fire. When nearly done
slacken the fire and cover the pilaf
with a piece of muslin under the lid
OF the vessel in order to prevent the
water from the steam falling back into
the vessel After FIVE or ten minutes
stir the rice lightly with a perforated
spoon and put into a hot oven till all
moisture has evaporated and the rice

part of the pilaf
Ingredient: Three cupfuls water,
