ARRAY Of STATISTICS
OF THE UNEMPLOYED
Compilation Made by Government
Bureau Soon to Be Made
Public.

Results of the pioneer work in the
collection of statistics showing the
number of unemployed in a single city
Will be made public. within the next
two weeks by the bureau of labor sta
tistics, it was announced today. The
force of the bureau is now working at
full speed tabulating the statistics
which were collected in New York city
few weeks ago by an army Of tenn
porary employees of the bureau of labor
statistics. 1t took two weeks for the
bureau to collect the figures, which
will be the first of the kind ever col
lected and tabulated by the federal
government. and probably will be the
means of causing Congress to provide
funds with which to make a compre-
liensive survey of the unemployment
situation In all Of the larger cities of
the country.
Officials of the bureau of labor sta
tistics would not discuss the statistics
this morning. declaring that they would
collection has proved difficult job.
the principal trouble being in getting
the figures for tabulating the unem-
Dloyed by occupations and industries.
Police Figures Not Reliable.
While the police of New York city
took a census of the so-called home
less unemployed" 1t was declared at
the bureau of labor statistics that
these figures were unreliable for vari-
GUS reasons. It was asserted that
many people found In the lodging
houses by the police on the particular
night on which this census was taken
were not unemployed, and that a great
many of them were not homeless
Many of those found in the parks of
the city also were declared not to be
homeless. and for this and many other
reasons the police census could not be
used in the final tabulation.
In view Of the fact that Congress re-
fused to provide the bureau with a ten
thousand dollar appropriation with
which to make an unemployment sur
vey in the larger cities on the ground
that no unemployment existed. the bu-
reau Of labor statistics was forced to
adopt more or less makeshift methods
in making the present survey. 1t used
employees wherever they could be found
in New York.

SHIFTING ABOUT OF CuR|o SHOPS
E. L. Graves Moving Into Quarters Lately Occupied by eaIke's Big
 Curjo Store

It was announced yesterday by E. L. Graves. of the Graves Indian Shop that in few weeks he would remove 10 the store occupied for the past sixteen years by the Bake Curio store. MT. Bake who announced his retirement from business several months ago, began yesterday to re- move the balance of his stock from its old home, to one of the rooms or the second floor of the Bake building, recently occupied by the Lamson Business College.
 The Graves Indian Shop, has been established in it's present location at East Adams. for three years, and as a constantly increasing trade has demanded steady increase in lines and stock, the available room has become Overcrowded so that larger quarters were a necessity. MT. Graves feels that the new location will be a very satisfactory one, for it has been known so many years as a Curio store, while at the same time it is not so far distant from his present location. A great many changes and improvements will be made in the new store. which is owned by E. H. Winters. A brand
 new hardwood floor will be put in and the whole store re decorated while the blanket or Navajo rug room in the rear will be completely remodelled. MT. Graves says that he will endeavor to give Phoenix an Indian and Mexican curio store that will be in keeping with the progress i've spirit of the city, one that every Phoenician will be pleased to in- vite strangers to visit. He has a large stock of very fine Navajo blankets at Scottsdale. which fol
 lack of space he has never displayei in Phoenix. and these with his ex-
