WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.--withou.
waiting for congressional action, the
bureau OF immigration OF the depart.
ment OF labor is gradually developing
"a national system OF labor exc changes
to deal with the unemployment pro-
blem.
The immigration bureau has the
right under the law TO assist in the
beneficial distribution" OF aliens ad.
mitted TO the United States. And the
labor department Is anticipating con-
gressloral action, by extending its ac-
tivities beyond the class of "aliens"
merely. and Is trying to do what Il
can to solve the unemployment prob
lem.
During the summer Just past the
state labor &C mmissioner of Oklahoma
wired the labor department at Wash
ington that Oklahoma needed between
1900 and 1000 harvest hands, and
needed them quickly. His advises In.
Dictated also that after the harvesting
OF the summer crop. the heavy for
age crops would give additional EN-
ploynent TO approximately IS per cent
of the harvest hands for from four
to six months. The federal depart.
ment proceeded to act, II issued a
bulletin for posting in the post Offices
or the country, and also to the news
papers setting forth the opportunity
for employment In Oklahoma.
This was the beginning OF what the
government officials hope will develop
into a national system OF labor ex-
changes, using the postoffices as the
medium for the dissemination of In.
formation. Employment blanks have
been distributed to postmasters so
that farmers needing help, whether
domestic or agricultural, as well as
men and women out OF employment,
may register and get In touch with
each other.
Another instance in which the de-
partment was Of direct help was after
the Salem. Mass, fire. The relief
committees appealed to the depart
ment OF labor to help find places for
the mill workers in the textile mills
and the boot and shoe workers who
had been thrown out of employment
by the fire. Acting on this request
the department telegraphed and wrote
to about TOO manufacturers Of boots

an endeavor to plave these unfortu-

were notified and asked to cooperate.
As result, the Department estimates
that 1900 places were found for the
workers. About 1000 replies came TO
the department In response to its

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.--Uncle
Sam, through the department OF agri'
culture, was taking every possible
precaution today to insure fresh, fat
turkeys for Thanksgiving. One step
was to send an expert with the first
trainload OF turkeys now en- route
from Morristown. Tenn, to New York,
today. Another was to warn every
raiser Of turkeys how tn kill. clean
and pack the fowl for market.
Last Thanksgiving thousands OF
turkeys spoiled because OF poor han
ding by farmers and Shippers. in
several cities commission merchants
were ruined and farmers suffered
great losses.
Rhode Island as turkey center Is
almost a myth. according to depart
ment information today. Statistics
show WI no more than 5000 turkeys
are gCyWn In the state, although many

GIRL-WIFE IS
AIDED BY POLICE
Kind Hearted Officers Take Up
Collection For Destitute
Woman and Riddles

Mrs. Amelia Lemarand, q pale, thin
little woman who looks to be much
older than the 10 years that she gives
as her age, called at police headquar-
ters. Thursday afternoon, thoroughly
discouraged and crying bitterly over
her predicament.
To sympathetic officers she told her
story. She is the mother of two little
children, one two years old, and the
other seven months old. Her husband
left her, early In September, and his
parents, she says, refuse to tell where
he Is. and will not assist her in any
way. She says that her husband had
sent her only Sc since he left, but she
has been unable to bear up under her
struggle to take care OF her two kid
dies though she worked hard. She
was emaciated, and appeared to be
half starved.
One Of the officers gave her money
to buy good meal, and while she
was absent, her story was passed
around the station. Every man ap-
preached contributed to fund to help
the young woman. When she return
ed from her meal, she was handed $40
that had been collected in a few min
utes.
She broke down and cried from
gratitude as the money was given
to her.
After she had left, other officers
came In, and heard her story. They
insisted on having a part In the col.
lection. Altogether, SIS was collected,
and the rest OF the money will be
given to the young woman, Friday.
She said that her husband insisted
that she should go to work, and place
her children In the Florence Critten-
ton home. Each mention of the sep
nration from her children caused her
TO burst into tears.
She said her husband, a carpenter.
objected to having to support her and
the children. and felt that she should
earn her own money, When she re.
fused to part with her children, she
says, he left her. She has been stay
ing at No. 415 Wilde-ave. She declar.
ed that she would swear out a non
support warrant against her husband.

\ Housewives Happy Thought


How to keep panel lace curtains
from becoming mussed when the win
dows of sleeping rooms are opened
at night has been a problem of many
housewives.
About halfway up the lower half
of the curtain sew a small dress
hook on either edge of the curtain
and one In the middle If there is
heavy lace or strong material at that
point.
Besides the small ring screwed into
the wood rod OF the window shade
for the pull cord screw a smaller ring
into each end Of the rod, where IL
will not be noticed, says an exchange.
Catch the dress hooks into the three
corresponding rings on the window
shade and roll the latter up as high
as It Is desired to have the window
open.

Perfect Stewed Apples

When etewing apples always put
the pieces into plenty of cold water.
II you use only little water and
leave Some of the slices uncovered
these will get tough and leathery be-
fore the stew Is finished.
Always put in your sugar at frsf;
do not add II afterward, as some
people do.
A small knob OF butter beaten into
the apples Just before they are served
improves them tremendously. 1t
makes them taste quite soft and
creamy and does away with any need
for serving cream or custard with
them.
Do not make the mistake OF buying
cheap apples. because they take so
much longer to stew that they waste
in fuel what you save In their price.
Good cooking apples take only about
a quarter of the time to bake or stew
that inferior ones do.
