HARVESTING JOBS
 AID IN FAR WEST

San Francisco, Sept. 9-"When the various seasonal crops are harvested California. will face a serious unem- ployment problem
 This view of the labor outlook is from State Commissioner of Labor John P. Mclaughlin.
 '"The labor situation in California is being aggravated by heavy influx of Eastern workers attracted by the fact that seasonal employment here is better than it is in the East and by Mclaughlin explained. Between fifteen and twenty per cent of those registering are newcomers.
 There are more fruit pickers avail able this year than ever before. We have had virtually no demands from farmers for help. The prospects are darkest for the smaller cities and communities. With the close of the seasonal occupations a large number will be without work. In the cities public improvements. building activi- the slack, but from all indications we face a serious unemployment situa- tion this Winter
 Commissioner Mclaughlin has aI- ready started a. Statewide survey In formation is being sought as to all public and private developments con templated, whether local labor will meet the requirements and what la Dor surpluSeS exist What steps if any, will be necessary on the part of the State to cope with the situation will then be determined

TO REMOVE STAINS.

There comes a time when every housewife faces a stain of some kind, and how to remove it may present a difficulty If the following simple hints are remembered they will save worry and give satisfactory results:
 Lemon juice will remove ink, rust or fruit stains. Use in this way: Moiden the stained goods in cold water; lay out in a hot sum- Squeeze a few drops of juice on the stain, then let it dry. Repeat the juice and dry ing until the stain is gone- For iron rust and ink stains put a pinch of salt on the moistened stain and then apply the juice. Repeat process if necessary. For white goods only.
 Precipitation stains are problem for many. It is best to take them out as soon as they appear For all washable garments use soap and water and bleach in the sun- For unwashaIble blouses mix one-half tea spoon powdered borax with one cup water Wet a piece of absorbent cotton in this solution and rub spot with it. If stains will not respond to this treatment try alcohol or ether
 Fresh wine stains will come out if rubbed well with salt. Let stand a few minutes. then rinse in cold water. If stain is old soak in warm milk

SOME USEFUL HELPS

Pour one cup of kerosene down the sink once a month and next morning pour down a couple of gallons of boil ing water. The kerosene loosens any accumulated grease and the boiling water dissolves and washes it away, thus preventing stopping of the pipes.
 Dried lemon or orange peel thrown on dying coals will revive them. Sprinkling sugar over a. dull fire will also revive it.
 Before frying, roll meat in crushed, toasted oornflalles instead of flour. This gives it a delicious, nuttey flavor.
 If it is desired to retain the ecru shade in curtains or other articles, add saffron to the rinsing water.
 AS soon as starch is removed from the fire, cover the vessel containing it tightly and there will be no scum on top.
 Remove stains from piano keys with oxalic acid and keep the keys white by rubbing them occasionally with soft piece of cloth wet with alcohol
 Heavy white twine makes better hangers for towels, dishtOwels, wash cloths, etc. than tape as it does not wrinkle when washed, but remains stiff and open. ,.

SHOULD HAVE PUT
 OFF WORK OF CONSTRUCTION
Public Works.

"OEkS.
 Considerable construction work was undertaken during the war period, when labor and materials were high CT than ever before in our history. Much of this could have been post poned.
 The Western Sewage Treatm ent Plant and Pumping Station has cost from S2O00,000 to $400,0Oo, more than it would have cost if built at the present time.
 The city has gone to extremes in letting contracts on a cost-plus ba- sis.
 Even snow was removed from the streets on a cost-plus-15 per cent. contract.
 Cost plus contracts given to Bridge port Construction Co.,. were not advertised and let to the lowest bid der.
 Similar contracts given to the War ren Bros for force work (preparing streets for surfacing) were likewise not advertised and let to the lowest bidder.
 A large amount of city work which should have been done by the city direct was allotted to few favored contractors.

BUT ONE KATE
 IN DIRECTORY

Samuel Katz, 45 Sanford avenue, who has been in business in Bridge port for 25 years and who conducts a well known furniture store on Main street just below State, is not the Sam Katz mentioned in a suit filed in Superior court against Frederick A. Lyon of 2S35 Fairfield avenue, a drug gist said to have incorrectly filled a prescription.
 Being but one Samuel Katz in the latest city directory the error was made unintentionally. Katz of San ford avenue who has not been sick a day, and who does not trade at the Black Rock pharmacy stated that he knew at least another Katz in Bridge port whose name is Samuel but it is evident that there is a third man bear ing the same name, though but one appears in the city and telephone di- rectory.

SILK STOCKING FAMINE

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 9-With a high demand for only the best, the women of this city are today facing the greatest shortage in silk stockings in local history according to mer- cha nts, who claim strike conditions in the North make it impossible to se- cure enough silk hose to meet the in- creaSing demand.
 Merchants say the women do not care for cotton or 1isle thread, but de- mand full fashioned silk. They claim the mock fashion hose will not do be- cause of baggy qualities encountered about the calf.
 The shortage particularly applies to white hose Local women do not fa- vor the half hose, it is claimed.

 The responsibility for construction and maintenance work and for the expenditure of public money therefor Fis so widely distributed among diff ferent officials that there is consider able duplication of work, unnecessary expense and lack of needed co-opera- tion.

Half Million
Spent Annually
for Poor Farms

University OF Oregon, Eugene,
July 29.-In a survey of poor re-
lief in Oregon, 1t is brought out
that poor farms OF one kind or an
other are maintained in IS OF the
36 counties of the state, at cost
in 1920 of $5G4,403.42. This sur
/ vey which was made by Miss Rdth
Montgomery, of the University OF
Oregon school of education, is
printed in the last issue OF the
University Extension Monitor as
part Of the summary of the state
wide social survey conducted last
year by DIR. Chester L. Carlisle, OF
the United States public health
service.
"The outstanding precipitating
cause of total dependency as found
In Oregon poor houses Is old age, !"
says Miss Montgomery. THE
physiological decay, however, is
often seen combined with eco
nomic inefficiency during early
life."
The eighteen counties maintain
ing poor farms are Baker, Coos,
Clatsop, Douglas, Grant, Harney,
Josephine, Jackson, Klamath,
Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah,
Polk, Umatilla, Union, Wasco,
Yamhill. The population of these
farms at the time of the survey to-
tailed 451, of whom SO were wom-
en-. Number of inmates varied
from two each in Harney and
Yamhill to 278 in Multnomah. Of
these 451, 1t is stated that ITS
showed mental defect, disease or
disorder.
The four main groups among
the inmates of the poor farms are
those dependent because of old
age, those suffering from mental
defect or insanity or epilepsy.
those dependent because OF physi-
cal disability, and those who are
victims of alcoholism.
