gravel where that IS necessary. All
sandy stretches are being covered with
clay and gravel All washes are be-

To Keep Up the Work.

that are now being left out because Of
the expense in construction will be

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. IL. - An
employment bureau for public
school children is the latest step
in the plan to better serve the
youth of the country.
The idea originated In the
mind of Miss Anne Davis, direc-
tor of the department of voca-
tional supervision on the board
of education.
She thinks a central employ
ment bureau for graduated pupils
would be far better than patron
izing the public employment bu-
reaus.
The work of getting positions
for graduated students has been
carried on for three years in a
limited way. Now Miss Davis
wants to make its scope much
broader and the work generally
much more effective and helpful.
In the plan proposed the GEN.
trail bureau, under the super
vision of the board of education,
would file all calls from employ
ers and all applications for en-
ployment.

You GOTTA HAND 1T TO BERT
HE HAS TO LABEL HIS BUNK

Really, you've got to hand Il to
Bert Leslie when II comes to ex-
pressing thoughts in slang. Bert
is appearing as Hogan, the
Painter" at the Empress this
week. and he teaches an audi
ence how to slap more paint on
brick building, and say more
funny things in fifteen minutes
than any sign-dauber that ever
dropped bucket of paint ON q
pedestrians head.
Bert Leslie eats. sleeps and
drinks In slang. Everybody's
talking It since he came to town.
They tell 1t for fact that one
of the Tacoma school teachers
told a boy yesterday that IL he
didn't cut out the slang and get
wise to his books she would land
on him so hard he wouldn't catch
up with the profession for week.
OF course. everybody blames 1t
onto Leslie, and he bears the
criticism with only a shrug of his
broad shoulders.
Somebody tried to interview
Bert in his dressing room at the
Empress today. Here's sample
of the interview:
do you know Tacoma Is a
hard town to please? No? Well,
lift your lid, you're boiling. I'm

CHAPTER I.XxIV.


Last week Mrs. Reynolds, who
lives on the floor above me at the
hotel, asked me II l would come
to her bridge party. accepted
the invitation, and yesterday at
two o'clock l presented myself at
her rooms, only to find that she
was holding her party in the pub
lie parlors.
When | got down to the door 1t
seemed to me that l had gotten
into a fat woman's convention.
Out of sixty women present, there
were only about ten who did not
carry weight for age" 1t seems
to me that all the married women
who live at the big hotels are al
ways fat IL they are over thirty
five. I guess II Is because they
are idle. l am determined that
I will at least keep busy enough
and eat only little enough to keep
my figure II I do nothing else.
It must make a man feel rather
queer when he looks at the two
huntlred-pound woman who Is
gasping in the long corset across
the table from him and contrast
her with the dainty slip OF a girl
who poured his coffee when he
and she were first married.
II am so glad you came" said
Mrs. REYNOLDS. Let me intro
duce you to Mrs. Mcbride"
Mrs. Mcbride really looked as
though she was run into her
clothes and l know she was fond
ly thinking because she had oblit-
Grated her hips, she had succeeded
in making her over-two-hundred-
pounds look like one-hundred-
and-fifty.
She was putting on a lot OF
dog" as Dick says, and before |
had seated myself at her table she
managed to inform me that her
gown was imported; that she nev-
err wore anything but handmade
lingerie and silk stockings, and
that she had her shoes made or
order.
Just as was satisfied that the
only bit of apparel on her body
she had not mentioned was her
corset, she happened to drop a
card, and she said as / mentioned
the fact to her, looking straight at
my unostentatious white wolfe
gown: Let some woman in q
dollar corset pick 1t up. Mine,
at thirty dollars, Is too expensive
to risk breaking the bones"
II don't wear any corsets,
Madame. So I'll pick up the card
for you. Perhaps 1 will wear
them later IL / should get fat" l
said pointedly as laid 1t on the
table. When ! told this to Dick
he simply roared, and said:
II know that Mrs. Reynolds. ]
have seen her with her husband
at the restaurants. and she eats
from the time the waiter puts the
bread and butter on the table
until her husband fairly drags her
away"
And, Dick, she is just as fat
in the head as she is In other
places"
Again Dick laughed. and said !:
you mean 'fat-headed.' Go as
far as you like. Margie; don't
mind me. Well, ! believe you, for
she always looks half asleep"

Dear Miss Grey: I am
young man of "a, sober and
Industrious, and have consid-
cradle money saved up.
Seven years ago | went to
college. / met nice young
girl of my own age and we
went together for some time.
l then returned to my
home. We correspondent for
three years. For the past
two years we have not writ
ten. Last Christmas | sent
her a Christmas card and re-
ceived card in return in
forming me she was married.
We were engaged. You will,
no doubt, wonder why we did
not keep in touch with each
other. / being in Northern
British Columbia on a survey
party, we could not get our
mail. Miss Grey, would | be
doing the proper thing in con-
graduating her?
BROKEN HEARTED.
Alt will not only be proper,
but will be a fine thing to do pro-
viding you can honestly wish her
happiness, as no doubt you do.
Ii you had cared for the girl a
great deal 1t seems that i'm two
years you could have gotten word
to her I'm some way.
Dear Miss Grey: l want
you to give me advice as you
are helping others. Which do
you think would be best to
do, marry man that can
give me a home and has
money and whom l do not
care for at all; or marry the
one | love, who Is poor and
can't give me home, at
present anyway. l have half
way promised to marry the
poor one in year or so. l
could never be happy with
the other one IL | marry just
for a home. l am 81 years
old. Please print this soon
rs l am going away.

A.-As you say, you cannot be
happy i'm marrying man for
what he can give you. Why not
base your decision on that?
IL you are healthy and strong
I see no reason why you should
not help the poor man get the
home. There Is no sensible rea-
son why a girl should sit back
and wait for the man to provide
everything.

CITIZENS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER PROPOSED HIGHWAY
Jackson County Will Raise One Half
Million Dollars by Means of
Special Improvement Dis

Little Rock, Jan. 28.-H. R. Carter.
State Highway Engineer, who has
been making plans for Jackson coun-
tvs highway system, reports that the
citizens have become so enthusiastic
over the project that they are propos-
ing to construct $50 instead of rs
miles of road. The whole country
will be covered with main roads and
laterals, with the exception of Barren
and Glaize townships. The system
will cost about half a million dollars,
to be raised by means of special i'm
provement district act which the next
Legislature will be asked to pass.
Mr.. Carter is working on the data
so that the actual cost may be known.
He is also making plans for 20O-foot
concrete bridge for which the Jackson
county leeving court has already
made provision.
