A NECESSARY SYSTEM

/ A few years ago passengers on
trans continental line were afforded
Considerable cause for conjecture by
the actions Of young man At the
depot in Shoshone, Idaho. The CEN
ter Of big cattle and sheep grazing
country, this place was the rendezvous
for cowpunchers and sheep herders In
tent on forgetting the rigors and
lonesomeness Of their jobs in occas-
ional "blowouts." Many Of them jour
neyed to the town by train, leaving
their faithful steeds at home to rest
and recuperate.
No sooner had they stepped on the
station platform than the young man
was seen to grab each individual, pry
open his mouth in most businesslike
manner, make hurried examination
and address, few terse remarks. Each
individual would then dig into cap
scious pocket, bring out = roll Of bills
peel off several and hand them TO the
young man, who then wrote out what
seemed to be receipt and passed on
to the next victim.
A tourist who witnessed the pro-
cedure determined to find out what 1t |
all meant. Approaching the busy
young man, he asked:
Partner, excuse my curiosity, but
what is the big idea Of examining the
mouths Of these fellows and then col
Getting nsney from them?
"Well'', was the smiling rejoinder,
you see these men are punchers and
,erders. They usually come to town
bout once year. As rule each has
! pocket full Of money to spend and
mouth full Of teeth that need at
ention. am the dentist here, so
meet these trains to catch these fell
ows when they alight, make the
right here on the plat
orin, tell them how much the dental
york will cost, collect the money and
IT them go. After they have cele-
rated and are broke and ready to
eturn to their jobs, they come to
Ne and fix their teeth"
otherwise ?"
Otherwise there would be no bust
ess."

Sometimes we get q chance to smile.
Americans have been critlcizing US for
centuries on our treatment Of women.
But they have no right to do that. A
citizen who has just returned from
America says that there they keep
their girls In the house until they are
eighteen or nineteen. They can't go
out AZ all until then. Then they In
vite all the girls friends In. and they
say that they are going to let her out.
When they let girl out they call her

OFFICIAL FEARS DIRE
UNEMPLOYMENT FACED
BY ASTORIA WORKERS
Chamber of Commerce Head is
Worried by Situation; Firms
Offering Work Wiped Out.

Lee n. Drake, acting president of
the chamber of commerce, who has led
in the work of reorganzing business,
today pointed to the unemployment
problem that will soon confront the
city
with the smoke of the fire still
smoldpring, no thought has yet been
given to tins situation" he declared,
"but when it is remembered that more
than 900 business establishments have
been entirely wiped out II is plainly
evident that many persons VIII be out
of employment for some little time"
Rebuilding Slow
Rehabilitation of business Is bound
to be SLOW, Mr. Drake poinyed out, and
the temporary establishments will
probably absorb but "A small percent
age of ex-employes in the strickea
city
MANY Of these employees, who lr
clude clerks, bookkeeperS, waitress
cs. accountants, statesmen, mechan cs
and the like, have savings to fall back
on for time" Mr. Drake said. "and
others have part salary that will tide
them over for several weeks, but in
time resources will dwindle and big
problem will develop. II Is quite prob
able that the executive committee
which is meeting several times a day
viii consider this problem at orcc and
the appointment of a special Crmmit-
tee to make a survey of the unem-
plOymcnt situation will probably be
made With such u survey at hand.
il is possible for arrangements to care
Tor the unemployed before the situa-
tion becomes acute"
