PHONE SERVICE
. SLOWS UP WORK
OF K. C. BUREAU
Returned Soldiers and Sailors Be-
Ing Aided In Every Way Pos.
sible to Obtain Benefit.

The knights of Columbus free
employment bureau in the Safety
building has been somewhat ham
pered in its activities in securing
jobs for returned men through the
inefiiciency of the. telephone ser
vice, it says. AS result the mail
has been resorted to in keeping in
touch with registered men and EN-
ployers, and this has slowed things
up to a large extent.
Louis W. Mcintyre, secretary of
the bureau, himself a navy man,
directs the attention of men who
were in the navy to the fact that
they are entitled TO an additional
sum to cover mileage, il they did
not receive it at the time of dis
charge or release from active duty.
This is the difference between the
rate per mile and FIVE cents for the
distance Travelled to reach home
from the point OF release, All re-
quests should be accompanied by
the original discharges or releases
and should be addressed to the
Bureau of Navigation, stating what
kind of transportation was fur
nished.
Compensation Blanks.
Mr. Mcintyre announces also that
he now has compensation blanks
on hand for soldiers and sailors
who were disabled in the service.
A claim for compensation, properly
made out, is a necessary precedent
to obtaining vocational training.

A 15-ounce loaf of bread that
once upon a time cost five cents,
now takes Is cents out of the con-
sumer's pocket. But -four that
bakers could get for $3.50, in the
days when there were scent loaves

These reasons were given by W.

causes for the high cost of bread.
In the discussion of the baking

Peters said that electric machinery
has made the baking tasks simple.
An electric wrapper can wrap 1900
loaves of bread an hour: an cleo

Now this is a true story. and

other one of those hotels made by
combining several of the residences
built by early settlers in these
parts. Each floor is on several
different levels, and the building
has an artless intricacy of ar

At the rear Of the Hydrangea
house is a large room which was
probably used a century or more
ago as q storeroom. since it has
but one small window. This room
is tentviIle. 1t has been divided
by partitions of cloth about seven
feet high into at least a dozen
small rooms, giving it much the
appearance OF a giant wasp nest.
Each OF these cubicles contains a
two-doilar cot. an electric light.
and nothing else. The partitions
serve the purposes Of privacy in
that they render it impossible to
recognize the features of your
next door neighbor. but they allow
you to study his silhouette, and to
memorize all his coughs, sneezes
and shores. The price Of a night
in tentvilIe is three dollars, paid
in advance.
Here. then, our hero at last finds
a haven. He takes of his collar

stretches himself luxuriously at

A volley of shots rang out quick

I'VE are sorry that this trouble
has come up and that it has gone

officials of the Keystone Steel &
Wire company disclaimed respon-
sibility for the clash between
