Has Plan For
Preventing Strikes

LONDON, Jan. %. - ASSOCIATED
Press MaiD - Railway officials of
Great Britain hope thai at last they
have found a means of preventing
strikes. Elaborate machinery has just
been devised with that end in view.
This includes a series of joint COM
mittees and councils leading up to
central railway councils for each rail
road.
1t will work in this way. When a
dispute arises in one locality it will
be referred to a local committee. If
the committee fail to agree, the ques-
ton then may be referred by either
side to a central railway council. If
this in urn fail, the dispute goes be-
fore the council for the whole rail
road.
Failure of this council to end the
dispute will send it automatically to
the Central Wages Board.
The scheme was adopted after long
negotiations between managers of the
railways and representatives of the
three unions of railway men.
Leaders of the unions say this ma
chinery is as elaborate as human in
genuity can devise.

Bump! Thud! 1t hit the animal with
a wallop like a football player going
through the line. And the animal in
turn hit a second animal which was
in font of it. And the second animal
was driven headforemost through the
earth into a cross tunnel toward
which they had been digging.
"Nosey Mole has caught us! We
are goners!" squealed the animals.
Then Jack and Janet knew who the
animals were. They were Chip and
Clipper Chipmuck, who had been dig

work. in hurry. 1t had driven them

Unemployment Shows
Slight Increase In
Pacific Coast States

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-(Asso-
ciated Press Mail) Slight increases
in unemployment are reported in Ore
gon, Washington and California, ]. A.
Kelly, acting district director of the
employment division of the United
States Department of Labor, declared
in his monthly report issued here to-
day. These increases, he said, are
due chiefly to reaction usually fol
lowing the holiday period.
Reports from the northern part of
the district show a slump in building
activities, due to inclement weather."
the report continues. MANY large
construction projects in Washington
are held up for the same reason.
Lumber about normal for this time
of the year. Iron and steel operating
about normal. Food products, aside
from the seasonal industries, are
operating about normal. Textiles
slightly below normal. Only repair
work carried on in s%hipyards. Rail
road repairs below normal with indi-
cations of a further reduction in shop
forces. Unemployment confined chief
ly to common labor, agricultural wor-
kers and iron and steel trades. Re
tail trade during December, 1921, was
only "a percent less in value than
during December, 1921. Considering
price declines, this indicates recent
holiday trade was greater in volume
than in the previous year"

three states follow:

The Daily Fun Hour
PHILOPENA

There are many varieties of this
popular game. In the version here
given forfeits and kissing are clint
mated. The players sit facing one an
other in a row of chairs even in num-
Der. All rush for the chairs at a signal
and the odd player becomes Philippe
ma. There should be an aisle be-
tween the chairs, along which pas
sage Philopena can walk.
At first Philopena promenades up
and down the aisle without saying
anything then suddenly stops and
asks a question of a player, address
ing him by name at the end, thus:
When do you expect to see the first
sign of spring, Mr. Brown" If Mr..
Brown tries to answer he becomes
Philopena. The rule is that the
player directly across the aisle, the
one behind Philopena must answer
any question asked of his or her OPP
posite partner. If he or she does not
answer before Philopena has finished
counting ten rapidly. the penalty for
the dumb player is to exchange
places with Philopena.
In some varietions of this lively
game, Philopena does not walk up
and down the aisle but stands at the
end and shoots unexpected questions
at this or that player, always putting
the name last, so that the opposite
player will not have time to prepare
an answer. This is an admirable
game for developing quick thinking
and ready speech. 1t is very anus
ing, too since some of the sudden

surprised chipmucks. Let us into the

Wait" said Jack, "Before we go
we had better close this tunnel so he
will not know where we went"
That seemed a sensible plan, so Chip
and Clipper ran back into the tunnel
and closed up the opening they had
made. This done they joined Jack
and Janet in the auto.
Just then all heard a queer sound
near and loud. 1t was the roaring
sound thay had heard before-the
sound Chip Chipmuck had said was
made by the underground singer.
