The Kings

1--WE kings must stick to-
gether," said Bill, upon a time,
through every kind of weather,
through every brand of crime.
By heaven It's appointed that all
the crowned galoots, with ran
cid oil anointed, should travel In
cahoots. To all kings | am
brother; we'll soon be going
lame, if we don't back each
other, and play each others
game" Then many kings were
reigning some fourteen hours a
day, and all of them were strain
ing to make the business pay.
| saw them blithely kinging,
some FIVE brief years ago; and
they were dancing, singing, and
ronnping to and fro. Each had
his robe of ermine, each was a
gaudy cuss, the Austrian, the
German, the Bulgar and the
Russ. ! have no space to men
ton ali kings who frolicked
then, each with a high intention
to boss his fellowmen. And now
the kings are scattered, and
some of them are dead, the
snaps they had are shattered,
their swords with rust are red.
They did not stick together,
they made some CHASTITY breaks !;
each tanned his private leather,
each killed his private snakes.
And now the kings anointed
with mica axle grease find all
the world disjointed, and can't
enjoy our peace.

Edgar Atkin of Labor Depart

zenS How to Aid.

Edgar NJ, Atkin, agent OF the en-
.ployment service of the Department
of Labor, speaking to members of the
Midcity Citizens Association last
might. urged that particular effort be
made to obtain jobs for returned
Washington soldiers.
Urge such men to get into voca-
tional educational schools or into the
civil service if they have no jobs to
which to GO" he advised, The gov
eminent is providing the means
whereby these men can obtain roca-
tional training il they so desire it,
while the Civil Service Commission
has number of positions for men
IN the Interior Department.
Need for Forest Rangers.
"The opportunities in the forestry
department of the Interior Depart
ment are great. The governmert t
seeks on an average of 1000 forest
rangers year to care for reserva-
tions. These men need know nothing
about the technicalities of trees or
such things. They act simply as in
spectors. The demand is SO great
dealers of the northwest pick UP
these men after they have had some
experience with the forestry service"
Mr.. Atkin strongly urged the mem
.bers to endeavor to dissuade returned
soldiers whose homes are not in the
District, from remaining here How
ever, he said that if non-District men
come here and they are railroad ma
chinists or railroad boiiermakers to
hold on to them, because railroad ma
chine shops are down at the heels"
because of the drain made on their
man power supply by the war.
Colored soldiers in the Army, ac
Cording to Mr.. Atkin, are preparing to
40 TO the west and northwest. He
asserted that these men, as he learned
at Camp Meade. with few exceptions
will not again return to the south.
The experience in the war service, he
stated. has broadened the vision of the
colored soldier, and on his return here
he is breathing hard for room in
which to expand
