SEEKS JOBS FOR JOBLESS.

Washington, Jan. 26. Formal an
nouncement of the Inauguration of a
great federal employment bureau by
the department of labor with the as
sistance Of the postofiice and agricul-
tural department was made tonight by
Secretary Wilson Through a circular
letter sent to all sections of the country,
the secretary called the attention of the
public to the government movement to
bring the 'manless job and the joble IS
man" together.
Agents of the agriculture and post
office departments have been provided
with blanks so that employers and en-
ployment seekers in almost any part of
the United States may make their APP
plications without waiting to communi-
cate with Washington
In his letter which was mailed par
ticularly to Industrial establishments
and other large employers of labor,
Secretary Wilson said
1.-The department of labor through
the division of information of the bu-
reau of immigration has recently es-
tabished distribution branches through
out the country for the purpose, on the
one hand, of developing the welfare of
the wage earners Of the United States
and improving their opportunities for
profitable employment and, on the
other hand, of affording to employers "a
method whereby they may make appli-
cation for such help as they need, either
male or female citizens or alien resi-
dents and have their wants supplied
through said distribution branches. No
fee is charged for this service either to
employer or employee. Careful atten-
ton will be given to the selection of
applicants with view to directing to
employers only such help as is specified
in the application"

AUTOMOBILE LAWS.

communication in yesterday morn
ing's Herald called attention to matter
that will require serious consideration
at the hands of the city and county
authorities and of the people, generally,
if it is expected long to postpone the
inevitable fatal accident resulting from
the careless driving of automob les over
the streets and country roads.
The State law, to which reference is
made in that communication, is suf-
ficienty explicit in its intent to warrant
much more activity on the part of the
officers than they have displayed in the
past.
In spite of the State law, and the city
ordinance. on the subject it is doubtful
whether there is a city in the country
in which automobile drivers are allowed
s. much license in the way of handling
t7'ir machines. as they are in Miami.
The conditions here may be described
without eXageration as being practically
lawless
that there are frequent accidents, out
of all proportion to the necessities of
the case. Carelessness, recklessness
and a certain lack of regard for the
rights of others generally characterize
the attitude and conduct of very many
of the drivers who use the streets of the
city and roads of the country for their
pleasure grounds.
1t would seem that careful and con-
servative machine drivers and owners
would take it upon themselves to see
that the laws and ordinances are not
violated. For while the public is as
patient as the proverbial donkey, there
will come time when there will be
public sentiment that will require the
adoption and enforcement of drastic
regulations, that will seriously hamper
those who now use their machines with
discretion and judgement.
Owners, if they would, could bring
such pressure to bear upon the officials
whose duty it is to see that the laws
are enforced, that they would be COM
PEELED to pay some attention to the
safety of the public A few arrests for
driving without license, for permitting
those under age to handle machines, for
reckless driving, for careless driving,
impudent driving, would clear tn, at
mosphere and inculcate a more whole
some respect for the law and for the
rights of others on the road.
1t might be well for the officers to
suspend their operations against petty
offenders for a time until they can
establish some regard for the safety of
the public on the part of those who have
appropriated the streets and roads for
their own convenience and their own
pleasure. Mama (Fla.) Exchange.

fore may not decline further" the de-
partment's statement said, "but
material advances in the next few
months cannot be forecast from present
supplies. The United States seldom i'm
ports or exports relatively large guam
titY of potatoes. Therefore the Euro

in the hands of producers or dealers on
January l. This is estimated to be

duce IS per cent of the United States
crop. Stocks are held by growers more
largely than usual; this year, their hold
ings were nearly Sc times the amount
held by dealers whereas in the past five
years their holdings have averaged four
times dealers holdings
Stocks by States, January included :
