HARDING URGES MORE JOBS
Letter to Cabinet Members Asks
More Speed on Federal Construc-
ton as Relief for UnempIoy-
nent.

Washington, Jan. 27.-President
Harding's letter to cabinet members
urging speed in government works
so that the unemployment situation
may be relieved, is as follows:
1.-The response of the employing inter-
ests thruout the country to the appeal to
special effort to afford employment to the
greatest possible extent during the win
ter has produced highly gratifying results.
Thanks to this fine cooperation, the sit
uation has en- much less difficult dur
ing the winter thus far than it might
otherwise have been.
The most difficult period of the win
ter. however, is still before US and | am,
most cooperation that your department
may be able to afford in extending fur
Their employment.
States and cities, as well as private
companies and individuals have taken
more comprehensive and effective mea sures
than probably have ever been taken be-
fore in such situation The natural self
reliance of he American citizen has been
supplemented in these plans by neighborly
help, by part time work, by odd jobs,
employers, have to a marked degree, eX-
erted themselves to find work for employees
and have anticipated repair and construc-
ton operations which otherwise would
have remained to be taken up later
City and state authorities have gen
orally organized to provide work and pre-
vent or alleviate distress due to lack of
employment. In substantially every city
where the need has appeared. the mayor
has appointed emergency committees to lead
the conmunity's action Municipal bonds
have been sold to an unprecedented de-
gree to provide for construction as early
as possible of needed municipal works.
In this way, much winter work has been
provided.
of course, l do not need to urge upoa
you the vital importance of having the
federal government also do everything pos
sible in a sound way to ameliorate the
situation. My purpose in writing you now
is to ask you to have a thoro examination
made forthwith of all repair and con-
struction plans in your department to de-
termine what necessary work, which other
wise would not have been undertaken until
later in the year, might be advanced so
to provide employment during the
months Immediately ahead of us. and to
suggest that, far as possible and prar-
ticable. such work should be undertaken
at once.
THE response of the general public to
appeals for the widest possible employment
has been so generous and effective that |
think we should be the more concerned to
have the agencies of the federal government
do their very utmost share in this human
effort.
(Signed) WARREN G. HARDING"

THIRTY SEVEN CASES OF FLU
Scarlet Fever Showing Increase Here,
City Health Offic~r Reports.

City Health Officer Reports.
There are but thirty cases of
influenza on the records of the city
health department this morning. Il
am quite sure that we are not having
ell reported, or nearly all, of the cases
of influenza in the city," DIR. Earle g.
Brown. city health officer, said. THE
difficulty as l have pointed out before
is in diagnosis-it is hard to tell
whether a patient has a bad cold, or
the flu. I am not yet persuaded that
there is a case of flu in each of half
the families in Topeka, altho there
are many times as much sickness in
the city now as there was two weeks
ago"
Scarlet fever is showing an in
crease in the number of cases reported
daily, but there is no connection be-
tween the two diseases. Doctor Brown
said. Three cases of pneumonia were
reported this morning
LAS the epidemic runs longer, it will
grow more severe-that is the history
of every epidemic" Doctor Brown said
today.

at the door.

began, that you would like to prove

Lille Ray was In the living room

In the fireplace.

Nance hastily ended the frall girls

thing for me. Put this ring of his
on your finger for safe keeping, and
when Bruce comes In give It to him.
Here you might sing song I Love
You, Dear that's pretty. Then give

"Myl It is beautiful she ex-
claimed,
Nance sank down on the floor of her
own room to rest her face against
Don's loving head.
Just about now" she murmured,

into Bruce's face-shc is giving him
the rlng-the clairvoyant ring. And
Bruce Will know It's n sign, Don.
How could 1t be other than a sign Of

When Nance could bear II no longer,
she crept down the stairs, Lille was
not in the living room. Bruce was
there poking about the dead fire with
stick Surprised into action, Nance
crossed to his side. His radiant smile
greeted her; breathlessly she waited.
"Well, Nance-Rose," he said severe
ly, you trusted poor messenger;
the llstless Lille, tossing my ring to
me, tossed 1t into the fire by mistake
And when said damn she indlg-
nantly, disgustedly departed.
Weakly, remorsefully, Nance dropped
into chair. Then a sudden blue
CLEAN shot into the air to drop fatty
into her outstretched palm.
~ diSlodged it that time" Bruce
Manners cried excitedly; turning, he
met the wondering gaze Of Nance
Rose.
On her outstretched palm the sap
phire eye twinkled up at him. Deliber-
ately, triumphantly, Bruce Manners
came to clasp Nance in his arms,
"You can't beat that old ring, my
dear" he said.
