begged each one to manifest a great

We were privileged to hear Won
derful sermon from Rev. G. Il. Mar

Baptist Church. We were aware of
the fact that he had not lost any of
those qualities that make good
speaker.
Do not forget the oncoming rally

EMPLOYMENT BULLETIN,
Issued Monthly by Public Employ
ment Bureau Department Of
Public Welfarc), City of Rich
mond, Room S, City Hall.

The following statistics show tho
activities Of the Public Employment
Bureau for the month of April:
There were more positions open in
the mems division than any month
since October, 1920. The principal
demands have been for carpenters,
hriclllayers, plastcrcrs and painters.
The requests could not be readily
filled at all tines. The demand for
colorcd labor has been such as to
consume practically all men applying
for work. An increase was noted in
the womcn's division for stcnogra-
piers and general office clerks. All
requests for cooks could not be sup
piled. However, there was a surplus
of colored women as day workers.
The industrial survey, which is
made monthly by this bureau, re-
vcals the fact that number Of in
dustrics have slightly reduced their
forces. However, this decrease has
been more than offset by the open
Ing Of new enterprises, together with
the great amount Of building that is
being done. Preparations for the
Virginia Historical Pageant, to be
held here May 22d-28th, is stimu-
lating business in many lines.
Conditions have improved to such
an extent that practically every per-
son is able to secure employment of
some kind, although it may not be
just the kind Of work or Che rate of
pay to which he has been accus-
toned.

A perfect cure has been effected
by l.. J. Hayden's Pure. Herb Medi-
cinea After waiting thirteen years
and have not suffered from tho
horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to
make a statement to l.. J. Hayden:
Thirteen years ago twelve leading
physiciane Of my city treated me for
Kidney trouble and gravel without
the desired benefit. These doctors
advised mo to be operated on, as that
was the only chance for mo. I was
advised to go and get some of l.. J.
HaYden's Herb Medicine and try be
fore being operated on. I did so,
and In twontyfour hours after using
his medicines I passed at least a
half dozen gravel, some as big as a
large pea. Since that time l. have
not suffered with the gravel. 1
highly recommend l.. J. Hayden's
medicine to all suffering humanity.

I was cured Of very bad case OF
rheumatism by two bottles Of l..
J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medi.
cine, after suffering long time with
the dreadful disease. I was unable
to move hand or foot, and after
had taken three doses Of tho med
icine was able to got out Of my
bed and walk across the floor, and
only two bottles Of the medicine has
made me perfectly we'll man In
every respect. I cannot give Mr.. L.
j. Hayden too much praise for what
he has done for me. I have sent
many other suffering ones to him,
and they have also gotten cured. My
daughter was also cured Of RIeuma
tism and Indigestion by l.. j. Hay

MOTOR Z re DEMANDS
JAIL SENTENCES HERE

The Motor Peril in Casper, far from being
on the wane, appears to be increasing. That
more fatalities do not occur on the streets, and
along the highways outside the city limits, is
only an instance of the luck which keeps com
pany with the otherwise lonely fool.
Only yesterday a representative of the
Tribune saw a truck, without lights careen at
high speed into Center from a side street one
block above the heaviest traffic, turn drunk
emily south, swerve in toward the Northwestern
station, and climb a telephone pole with all the
agility of an excited steeplejack working under
alcoholic pressure. Two private cars were near
ly run down during the trucks magnificent burst
of speed.
Any motorist can find on any given night a
half dozen u~nlighted trucks, cumbersome instru-
ments of death, wnllowing along in total black
ness on the Salt Greek road, or broken down and
parked, half off the highway, without a sign of
, 1922-10-17

a lantern to warn the oncoming driver. Trucks
nightly roll through the streets, each a modern
Juggernaut, carelessly driven, unlighted. Trucks
seem to be the principal offenders.
The Tribune respectfully suggests to county
officials; to policemen, sheriffs and TO judges
alike, that immediate arrest and summary i'm
prisonment for ten days, without the privilege
of paying a fine, is the only way in which to curb
this evil-a blot ON the name of our city, and a
menace to the lives of our citizens.
A few ten-day sentences would rapidly cure
some of this criminal negligence. Let us have
such sentences.
The Tribune has started a Safety Campaign,
and with the able help of local organizations
and Safety Units, The TRIBUNE expects to see it
through. But the Tribune ean not arrest; can
not prosecute; can not sentence. 1t can only pub
licize- Punishment must be inflicted somehow and
should be inflicted speedily.

many Of the pilots On the field. Al

would tilt his machine on one side for

This aroused speculation as to the
distance q machine might be flown on
It's side, a position in which the
planes had little or nothing to do
with keeping 1t in the air. Lieuten-
ant Vaughan believed this might be
developed and demonstrated by a
flight across Selfridge field. n dis
lance Of about q mile, that under GER

flown in that position for a much
greater distance than usually is re

the machine through the air and at
