HAUL TWO IDLERS
FROM BED At NOON
Inspectors Nab Young Men
on Complaint of Their
Parents

An aged man, with limbs weary from
long years OF work, toiled with difii-
Guilty up the steps Of the old Federal
Building at Sixth and King streets, yes
terday and entered the Compulsory
Work Bureau once. He was accom-
panied by a woman, younger in years,
who seemed 10 be his daughter.
In a voice broken with grief and
anxiety. the old man told Christopher
l.. Ward, director Of the bureau, pitt
ful story. He said he had two sons
near the thirty-year-old mark, strong
healthy men, who were at that moment
living in bed at home, too lazy TO 80
% work 10 support their aged father
and the wife and children OF one OF
the sons. The sons wife, he said, was
worn out with her efforts TO support
the family.
director Ward IS Withholding the
names Of the men out Of consideration
for their family, but only good be-
havior on their part will keep them
from arrest and publicity.
Inspector z. Ross Farra and his as
sistsnts went Immediately to the
house indicated by the old man and
found that his story was true The
sons were indeed tucked snugly In BED
AT MONDAY. The officials hauled the
covers off and hustled the men out ol
he'd and into their clothes with small
ceremony. The Compulsory Wori
bureau inspectors were thoroughly in
dignant and they did not mince mat
ters In telling the two men what thes
Thought Of them. The men maintained
a suilen silence, there being nothing
a. all thew could say In their own de-
fens>
Within two hours the two sons wer'
hard at work at a plumbing JoD as
signed them They were warned th'
bureau would watch them with a sharI
eve and take drastic action at the hrs
signs OF unsatisfactory behavior on
their part. The two men have habit
uallv taken prolonged idle periods OF
from their work, though they are well
trained plumbers. Another such idiin;
spree viii mean Jail for them, say TN
inspectors.
Director Ward says such cases arr
the ones that the Compulsory Worl
Bureau Is most anxious 10 reach, ant
such do the most 10 justify the exist
ence OF the Compulsory Work Bureau.
A report sent in by one industria
nldnI NIOMH III A0AA hENt~N

in speeding up work that will help Z
win the war. Twenty men reported Y
the bureau as "slsckers" from this
plant had at the time the report wat
made, lost an aggregate Of thirty-nv'
days in one week from their work o
nearly thirty per cent. Of their time
After the men had been warned by IN
bureau. the same twenty lost onl'
eleven days the following week, or les
than ten per cent Of their time.
The ONCE Of the Compulsory Worl
Bureau has been moved TO the secon'
floor Of the old Federal Building. BE
cause Of increased work, Mr.. Ryar
has taken over the office formerly oc
cupied by the Work Bureau. making
an addition TO the Farm Labor Burea'

The new ONCE, for which the Com

and Doubles Beauty of
Your Hair.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get q small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toi-
let counter for a few cents and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected OIL
injured by careles streatment-that's
all-you SURELY can have beautiful
hair and lots of it if you will just tr!
