Father Privileged
To Celebrate G

New York, April Magistrate
Black in night court ruled that there
are occasions when the yolstead act
simply does not apply
The magistrate decided he was not
one to punish Samuel E. Malcolm, 55
years old, for going out and getting
lit up like Hudson river nightboat
and giving three cheers for himself
when Malcolm, after 2S years OF
married life. found himself the faith
er of lusty male infant.
without the slightest understand
ing of the situation, Patrolman Kiln
kenberg listened disparingly to the
pains of Joy emanating from the vo-
cal organs of Malcolm on the public
streets and arrested the joyous par
ent and arraigned him in night
court. There 1t was all explained
and the 55-year-old first perform
ance father was released to continue
the interrupted celebration and the
policeman apologized. A court at
tache whispered the password OF a
place nearby as Malcolm left the
courtroom.

'D|RT FARMER FOR
RESERVE B 0 A RID
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON BANKING
APPROVES PLAN TO NAME AN
AGRICULTURE MEMBER.

Washington, d. c.. April S.-The
house comittee on banking and cur
rency approved the so called dirt
farmer" bill today after amending
it by eliminating the provision for
one additional appointative member
of the federal reserve board.
The bill as it will go to the house
merely provides that the president
in selecting members of the federal
board shall have due regard to a
fair representation of agricultural,
industrial and commercial interests
and to geographical divisions of the
country" The words industrial
and agricultural" are not contained
in the present law. A provision In
the present law requiring at least
two of the five appointive members
of the board to be bankers is strick-
en- out.
The bill as it was passed by the
senate several months ago increased
the number of appointive members
of the board from five to six. 1t was
tNp6Cttu lIldt representative ~
agriculture would be chosen as the
new member of the board.
The house committee approved the
bill by a vote of Is to z. Represen-
tative Strong, of Kansas, who led the
fight for the approval of the bill as
passed py the senate, is expected TO
offer an amendment on the floor of
the house providing for the addition
al member.
AS the bill now stands President
Harding would have an opportunity
to give agriculture representation OF
the board by selecting a new member
when the term of w. p. G. Harding,
present governor of the board, ex-
pires next August. Unless the law
were changed by the elimination OF
the required appointment of two
bankers, it would be necessary for
the president to reappoint Mr.. Har-
ding or to select some other banker
in his place.

WOOL IN TRANSIT
DAKOTA RAIL BOARD No
TIFIED OF NEW ORDER OF
BENEFIT TO SHEEP MEN
OF THE STATE,

Pierre, April S.-Information has
been received by the state board of
railroad commissioners that the car
riers operating in this state have
arranged, in response to requests by
the board and some of the shipping
interests. for a stopping in transit
privilege on wool shipments from
South Dakota to various markets.
These stops in transit are for the
purpose Of picking up shipments un-
til full carloads are secured These
stops will be made at the through
carload rate from the point of origin
plus 81 for each stop.
Heretofore shipments have been
charged at the full local rate be-
tween points of stop and Ii is ex-
pected that the arrangement secured
should be of substantial value to the
wool shippers of the state.
The board has also been, advised
that the railroads will make effec-
tive on May /. substantial reductions
in canned, goods from Utah canning
points to various jobbing centers in
the state of South Dakota.
Arrangements have also been
made with certain carriers of the
state to make reductions In rates
now charged for "out of line" SER
vice in connection with the milling
in transit Of grain. These transit
charges were increased at the time
the interstate commerce commission
authorized 35 per cent advance In
grain rates effective August 20.
1920, but they were not reduced at
the time reductions were secured In
the grain rates as result OF the
complaint of the South Dakota conf
mission and others which reductions
became effective January i, 1922,
The roads, however, have now agreed
to make reductions in their transit
rates corresponding to the percent
age reductions made in the line haul
rates.

SHOWN
NUMBER WORKERS
THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION
IN THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, ID. c., April S--An
improvement in industrial condi-
tions is indicated in the monthly re-
ports of the United States employ
ment service of the department of
labor made public. The number of
workers tabulated in representative
Industries on March 81 represented
an increase of 2.5 per cent over the
total on February 28.
The number of workers employed
by 1.42S firms in 65 principal indus
trial centers, of the United States on
March 81 was 1,604,959, an increase
of 1858 over the total of 1866
401 on February %.
Out of 65 cities, AZ reported em-
ployment increases during March ov-
er February, Chicago reporting an
increase of sos per cent New York
city showed an increase of II per
cent.
Ten out of IA groups of indus
tries showed increases in employ
ment for the month.
Industry took up considerable
slack in March, showing an improve
ment of 2.5 per cent over February
and per cent over July, 1921, which
was the low water mrak in employ
ment," said Francis l. Jones, direc-
tor general of the employment SER
vice.
Business will not come back with
a jump, but every indication points
to a general progressive upward
movement. The coal situation may
check improvement in certain heal
thy swing heading to normal condi-
tions. However, there is general
pronounced optimistic feeling that
warrants the statement that April
will show increased activity, other
than in coal and cotton textiles.
Employment increased in all in
dustries with the exception of food
and kindred products, textiles and
their products, and leather and its
finished produces. These basic in
dustries-iron, steel and metal pro-
ducts; vehicles for land Transports
ton; railroad repair shops; paper
and printing; stone, clay and glass
products; and tobacco--made sub.

HOW THE SERVICE MEN STAND
Checking Up at Washington BY Legion
Reveals That Many Members
Are In llnellpht

When President Harding replied to
Representative Lamar Jeffers. Ala
bama, and the legislative committee of
the American Legion that there were
no ex-service men of outstanding
qualifications to be members Of the
American commission to the iRterna-
tfonal disarmament conference. there
was a checking up In Washington to
determine how service men stand In
the eyes OF the American electorate.
A statement later issued BY the Le-
gion showed that the President ap-
pointed an ex-service man as secretary
OF the navy and another assistant sec
retary. His alien property custodian
was In service during the war. The
assistant postmaster general Is an ex-
service man. An A. L. F. veteran Is
head of the national budget. The
President confided the task Of organ
izing the new veterans bureau to a
former soldier.
The public has elected 20 men who
served either In the army or the navy
to the house of representatives and
two to the senate. In nearly dozen
states service men are the governors.
Eight members of Secretary Hoover's
national committee ON unemployment
were ex-service men.
