SEEK 1REBUGS
Search Continues By Police To Ap-
prehend Guilty Parties

All efforts made thus far to trace
the supposed firebugs responsible for
the two fires mere last Saturday
night which destroyed the ware
houses at the plants Of the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation and the
Mutual leo CompanN,,are without re-
suit.
The police department has not
abandoned hope and every available
clew which has been furnished ,lp to
the present time has been run down.
Not any of the cleHs furnished were
worth anything say the police; That
the arson squad is in hiding and prob
ably may be smoked out later IS the
opinion Of authorities.
Whoever they are they are guilty
of setting off two of the most dlsas,,
trous fires that Alexandria has had
in recent years, the loss sustained
being close to a quarter OF q million
Of dollars. No stone IS being left
unturned by the authorities to round
up the f:rebugs.

Unemployment Problem

An early solution Of the unemploy-
ment problem is looked for by offic-
als of the u S. government. These
officials are now convinced that idle
ness is rot so widespread as was
earlier indicated by preliminary
figures. A new survey of the labor
situation. particularly in industrial
centres, indicates that there is now
room for optimism that the coming
winter Will not find the nation with
az unemployment situation Of any
serious character. It is now dis
closed that former estimates Of the
Labor Department, tending to show
that 5,733,000 men and women were
out of work, were based upon figures
showing the number of employees re-
leased from industrial plants and
manufacturing concerns after the
"reak" business of the war period
began to rccede into the stage Of
depression. Officials now find that
those figures do not accurately re-
fleet the extent OF idleness, for they
asserted that surprisingly large
percentage Of that number went back
to the farms or small town pursuits
Of pre-w2r days.

Statement On Prohibition

"Public sentiment and public senti-
ment alone will regulate the prohibi-
ton question in this country"
This was the statement made to
the Gazette correspondent today by
David H. Blair, Commissioner of
internal Revenue. Mr.. Blair point
ed out that the force of $500 prohi-
bition agents, which includes every
enforcement officer attached to the
various state prohibition directors, is
entirely inadequate to cope with the
situation and to put down rum-smug-
Cling and boot-legging..
But i is my opinion" continued
the Commissioner, that a vast ma
icrity of the American people have
come to realize that the prohibition
law is ore to be respected and this
feeling will do more than the work
Of any enforcement officers to put a
stop to the Illicit selling of intoxl-
cantS.

cable understanding reached by oil
