THE EMPLOYMENT
SITUATION GOOD
IN THE COUNTRY EXCEPT
DENVER
FAVORABLE OVER STATE
August Conditions Show Great I'm,
provement Over Those Existing
During The Month OF
July.

Washington.-In spite of many OBJ
throughout the country toward in
creased employment, according to tele
graphic reports to the United States
Employment Service In Louisiana
there was marked increase in the
number OF men employed during Au-
gust, as compared with those employ
ed in July. New Orleans took second
place among ali the cities of the coun-
try in added employment. Denver led
the list.
The increased employment in New
Orleans Is attributed to greater activ-
ity in the textile and food products
industry. Reports from centers of en-
ployment in Louisiana follow:
Shreveport. - Employment condi-
uons disclose no appreciable better
ment. Lumber mills are temporarily
restricted. Controversies in railroad
occupations have adversely affected
the situation. Oil and kindred activi-
ties continue sluggish. Metal work
Ing concerns report operations some
what below normal A surplus of
building craftsmen and common labor
is reported.
Lake Charles.-The employment sit
uation registers an upward trend.
Lumber mills, as a whole, are re-
stricted, though some concerns report
normal forces and full time opera
tions. A surplus of building craftsmen
is noted
Monroe. - Employment conditions
are favorable. Lumber mills are fair
ly active though showing temporary
curoailments, Building construction
has somewhat diminished though
those workers have been partially alb
sorbed in other lines. A slight in
crease obtains in the demand for ag.
rlcultural workers. Public improve
ments under way are furnishing en-
ployment to a considerable amount of
comon labor.
Alexandria.-The employment stu
alton is generally favorable Build
ing has somewhat declined and lum-
Der mills record a temporary slac.1en-
ing. This is offset by a greater de-
mand for workers in agricultural pur-
suits and public Improvements.

There are very few children left at

some of the late residents. At first,
their favorite amusement was the
throwing of eggs and tomatoes. but
now it has gone beyond that stage.
The newest form of entertainment is
to fill the gasoline tank of an un-
guarded motor with water, to let all
the air out of the tires and to dis
connect the spark plugs. While doing
this. some of the youngsters were
caught recently and made to blow UP
the tires, and do what they could in
helping to put the car In proper or

complaints made about the actions of

DRAMATIC ART IS
OF SPLENDID VALUE
IN BUSINESS WORLD

That Miss Grace Dalyrimple Clarke
should open School of the Theatre,
at 1914 1ranistan avenue, is but the
logical development of her work in
the dramatic art If. as some one has
said, art is merely the expression of
a mans joy in his work. then art
can be applied to Miss C1arke's work
for it bubbles over with joyousness, q
contagious joyousness and it is quail
ity which all her students possess. To
be joyous on the stage, to act, with
spontaneity, not only in comedy but
in drama and tragedy to make the
portrayal of a character ring true,
shows craftsmanship and it is crafts
