jefferson in Misfortune.

When Thomas Jefferson retired from
the presidency and returned to Month
cello he was much in debt, though at
the time the fact was not know to
most of his friends. He emulated the
example of Washington by trying to
be farmer, but was so far unsuccess-
full that each year he ran more behind
financially. In the meantime he was
keeping open house, entertaining law
ishly and sometimes having as r1any
as fifty guests.
At length his affairs got into such
bad shape that he was compelled to
ask congress to buy his library and
historical papers, which were thereup-
on sold to the nation for SIS. 900.
These books and papers now form one
of the most valuable possessions Of
the library of congress. The money
tided Jefferson over for a while, but
he was bankrupt when he died, II
years after his departure from the
White House. To the day of his death
he took an active interest in public
affairs. He established the Unsver-
sity of Virginia, serving as its first
provost and personally superintendent
the erection of it's buildings.

CAMERA SHOWS UP DEFECTS
Why It Is Generally Necessary That
Photographs of the Human Face
Be Retouched.

Why does a photographer have to
retouch his negatives before his Gus
TONER is satisfied with the picture?
The eye of the camera sees things
Inherently from the human eve. al
though there are some lenses that so
ditluse the image that the harsh de-
tail is eliminated These are the So
called "soft-focus" lenses. and photo
graphs made with them generally need
no extensive retouching.
1t is the difference in seeing color"
between the lens and the eye that is
largely responsible for retouching.
The ruddy complexion, so suggestive
ct good health, under the relentless
eye of the camera may turn into dark
splotches, for red photographs dark.
The penetrating hlue-violet rays are
those chiefly used in photography, and
these rays furnish the delicate model
ing of form. The surface of the skin
reflects these rays into the camera.
and all the Irregularities Of the skin,
such as wrinkles, become more notice
able than when looked at with the
human eye, which sees mostly by the
red and orange, instead of the blue
violet rays caught by the eye of the
camera.-Popular Science Monthly.

"But you won't have to stand around

Nevertheless there are Jobs await
ing the filling in an appreciable num-
Der, and the fact was proved yester-
day. hen reporter for The Tribune
talked himself into three of them with
in six hours-landing a job on an
average of one every two horus. And
the lowest-waged job of the lot paid
$24 a week
Rebu-ed Only Once
In addition, the reporter was given
practically an assurance that he could
acquire two more jobs by reporting
ready for work early to-day, and in
several other instances was told "to
come back later" In only one in
stance was he given clear and definite
encouragement when he asked, fol-
able "that something might turn up
in few days."
1t will be recalled that in previous
research inquiries into the unemploy-
ment situation, representatives of The
Tribune obtained facts from which
conclusions were logically drawn that
the situation generally is not nearly
so serious as it has been made to APP
pear; that a great number of the I'M
ployed men now in New York are
"hoaters" who drift from job to job
at all seasons, and that a goodly ma
jority of the jobless occupants of park
benches arc sedentary to the latter
from choice-either because they no
longer can get wartime wages for
their labor, because they can make
an easy liz ing "panhandling," or be-
cause they are Just "plain lazy"
The results of the reporters job
hunting expedition yesterday tend
further to prove all these conclusions.
But they go an important step further
in casting an Illuminating sidelight
upon the entire unemployment situa-
ton and the basic reasons for it.
Employers "Weeding OUT
It will be best to throw this into
the words of big employer of men
who the reporter CHANGED to meet
while trailing jobs to their lairs, an
executive of one of New York's largest
alone, has personally interviewed and
employed some 5000 men and women
in the last five years.
THE process now going on in en-
ployment," he said, "is one of weed
ing out and It is going on in all of
the big industries of the country.
During the war almost every human
biped displaying even enough energy
to walk across room was taken into
the national service in some fashion
or other. The lengths to which in
dustry went to obtain labor may be
shown by the fact that in not few
instances women were taken from pris-
ons and insane asylums and set to
work at wages even higher than those
formerly given good men.
"Such condition could, Of course,
not go on permanently. For a con-
siderable time employers have been

his job inquiry. While he was met fire.

"we've been laying off some of our

Gets Warehouse Job
1t was in the Gowanus section of the
waterfront that the reporter landed his
third job. Entering the offices of Cal
Ian Brothers, a trucking, warehouse
and storage concern, he made his re-
quest to f. f. Curtis, the company
manager Of trucks.
'You look as though you could rus
tie around pretty well in our dock

hard work. It's mostly trucking and

somewhat shcepishly unfolding to his
benefactor the real story of the job
enterprise.
