Christmas never brought loveliei
remembrances to fair women than the
picturesque hair ornaments for their
gayer hours which this season pre-
sents. There are many of them made
Of ribbon, beads, flowers or mock
jewels In beadbsnds, and finished
with a feather or blossom or other
ornament. The sparkling piece pic.
tured Is merely filet of rhlnestenes
that encircles the head and supports
small poinsettia flower at the left
with few sparkling rhinestones
scattered on Its leaves.

 For Third Time.

The first forfeiture of bonds in lieu of facing charges for violation of liquor laws since prosecutions under the new statutes were started, came this morning when a $2O0 cash bond was called in the case of Joseph Washuka. Vagek Smyrkas was the bondsman. The case was twice continued on account of the absence of the accused, Judge G. w. Klett having been informed that he was a tuberculosis sufferer and un- able to appear for trial.
 An investigation was made at the order of the court, disclosing the fact that Washuka is not as serious ly i'll as has been represented. He was taken for examination by tue health clinic July 8, 1918. He was discharged March Is, 1921. Will liam Steckly, owner of the cafe

BURGLAR-PROOF MAIL GAR
Makes Trip from New York to Chi- cago-May Be Adopted as Govern mcnt Standard for Safety.

SdhCtys
 Chicago, May 7.-The first trial trip of new type of burglar-proof mail car was completed today when one of the specially constructed cars arrived from New York carrying 27,000 pounds of mail and accompanied by a committee of postal officials who will decide on the adapability of the car to general mail service.
 The car consisted of nine sectional safe-like containers. These contain CTS, equipped with the most modern looking device; were loaded at the New York postoffice, carried to the train in motor trucks and then by means of a crane. locked in place on the car.
 When the trip was completed an other crane lifted the containers to motor trucks and they were rushed to the local postoffice and unlocked. The time of transferring the contain CTS from the train to the postoffce was 31 minutes which officials said was one-fifth of the time taken by the old hand methods.
 The car was designed and built by the New York Central railroad which plans to put them into service over all its lines provided they meet with the approval of the government.

BARTER FOR CITY JOBS
Ingenious Applicants for Work at Municipal Bureau Find New Method of Raising Funds.


 new commercial enterprise, that of securing and then bartering for the exchange of city jobs, has been unearthed among the applicants for work at the municipal employment bureau. It has been estimated that of each 100 who are given places in city gangs, but 50 show up for work while out of that number it is es- timated that hardly one-half are the ones for whom the jobs were intend ed. Several cases of that nature were unearthed by the authorities and the cards taken from them this morn ing.
 It is the belief of the authorities that the applicants successful in se- curing placement have offered their cards. entitling them to a job, for sale. The officials of the labor bu- ,reau have been aware that such a condition has existed for several weeks but, until this morning, they have found it impossible to land any, one making an exchange.
