Within the last few days. County
Roads Gngine er Wilfong and Pros
ecuting Attorney Frank Amos have
been visited by contractors from
Union District who desired to oo-
tain the services of prisoners IN
the county Jail.
Here the contractors met with
opposition from both men Mr..
Amos informed them that there
was no provision OF the law under
which the county prisoners could
be allowed to work under contrac-
tors. Mr.. Wilfong stated that he
himself was somewhat short
handed as a result of the mine
work resumption and that he could
spare no men at the present time :.
Among the Union District con-
tractors who are now in need OF
workmen are the Monongahela
instruction Co, at. work on tn
EHopewell road: Nat Lee. Pleasant
Valley Road: w. H. Armstrong,
Hickman Run road. and Frank
Helm. Morgantown avenue
None of these men have been
forced to suspend operations, bu1
all are understood to be seriously
handicapped by the lack Of work
men. In Engineer Wilfong's opin-
ion, there is no reason for any
men in Marion County to be unern-
ployed. a.
In his own department. there Is
a shortage of men. Nearly all or

of these have gone back to the

PRAGUE, Czech oslovakia, Aug.
24-Although the Czechoslovak-
ian Republic is only three and a
halfyyears old, II is the one state
in Europe which has set its house
in order and has avoided the evils
of the prfn ting press. The Greens
or Bohemians are Woodworking
and plucky race, full OF common
sense, and they have built up an
economic and Industrial fabric
which has made the country one
of the most prosperous in central
Europe Its industry today is be
yond the needs OF its own popula-
ton. The Czech crown. which
until last autumn had followed
the fluctuations of the. German
mark, has now established Its IN
dependence in the worlds eo-
changes.
Since the creation of the repub-
lie the bulk of trade has been, wit
Germany. although the United
States is gaining an Increasing
share of it. According to official
figures, at per cent of Czech
imports in 1921 ca me from Ger
many, the latter country tak1n 8
36.2 per cent Of Czech exports
Every Czech realizes that the fu-
ture Of the country's trade Is IN
Central Europe, but he is ANXIOUS
to avoid as far as possible any
economic dependence or Ger
many.
Like many other European
countries, Professionalism most
vital problems concern the much
needed reduction in production
costs, the cost of living, the reduc-
ton OF taxation, and ameliorat1on
of the housing situation pres
emit Prague is one OF the most ex-
pensiye cities in Europe. One of
the causes is the tremendous
national budget, which is swollen
by heavy military expenses.
Compared with Vienna ana
Budapest, Prague presents an APP
pearance Of prosperity and alert
ness. There is not that sense OF
despair, uncertainty and indec1-
sion which the American traveller
meets in Vienna. While other
European capitals suffered by the
Great War, Prague was hardly
affected until the revolution Of
1918. when she awoke suddenly
to And herslf one of the great
capitals of Europe.
Czech oslovakia's political sys--
tenn is based upon the strictest
democratic principles. her policy
being one of innovation and eyo-
luton along republican lines. Boil
shevlsm has been crushed. Drastic
land reforms. have been made. to
appease the appetite of the mass
es. No one is allowed to hold
more than! $50 hectares of arabic
land or 500 hectares of forest
land. Owing to inc-ccred wages,
the working classes live In COM
Portable content. There, is little
Unemployment.
As in most other European
cities, the housing problem IN
Prague is acute. Any. owner of a
fat or house is liable to have his
quarters Communicated by the
State In spite of the governments
endeayors to encourage the cree
ton of new buildings. the building
trade has remained virtually sus-
pended. Many of the poorer no
bility have migrated to Vienna.
Munich. Berlin, Poland or''Hun's-
gary, in order. to benefit by the
rate Of exchange. Others occupy
a small corner of the vast palaces
which have been in the possession
of their families for centuries.

. True floating is of value: as a
means of resting the body and is
useful in case Of cramp and life

Everyone can hoat at some
angle in the water varying from a
horizon tai to vertical position,

unacquainted with swimming.
would venture beyond their depth
in water to try floating without
some Knowledge as to its tech

1T Is best for a beginner to learn
floating in water waist deep. Stand
with knees slightly bent, arms at
right angles to the body and bend
ack slowly from the waist until
the head and shoulders are resting
on TOP OF the water, then gradually
lift the legs one at a time to hor-

body. Raise your chest and stretch
out as tail as possible on the wa
ter, if the body rocks little move
your arms slowly up and down I'M
til you establisha perfect balance
in the wanter.
If your feet are inclined to sink
towards the bottom, paddle the wat
er slightly with the hands or try
to get the soles Of your feet togeth-
or, this bends the knees sufficiently
to get the feet on top of the wa

Back Stroke
The back stroke is the most rest

arm motion, If taken to counts. up

ginning another stroke.
To combine the arm and leg
