Where Men Are Men, is a
story of life in the gold regions OF
California and is typical Of the
times and conditions as they exist
ed.
The scenes are such as would be
expected in tho rulgh Surroundings
and the characters are types that
usually follow the lie OF prospec-
tors in all kinds Of ventures OF
similar nature.
There are the stageycoaches, the
hold ups; the fighting spirit and
camp life. and all the things that
one would expect to find in such a
locality, and OF couse there is
much excitement, action and other
features without which such a pic

For Unemployed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Aid.
Ct the war, navy agriculture, treas
ury and interior commerce de-
partmeEts N providing work for
the unemployed was requested by
President Harding today in a let
ter addressed to the heads of those
departments.
The executive suggested that in
those six departments there might
be repair and construction work
which could be undertaken now
when "thc most difficult period Of
the winter is still before us''
rather than later In tho year.
THE response OF employing in.
terests Throughout the country 10
the appeal for, special efforts to
afford employment to the great
est possible extent during the win
ter has produced highly gratifying
results" the president said,
Thanks to this fine cooperation
tho situation has been much less
difficult than any winter thus far
than it might otherwise have heen.
States and cities Is well us
private companies an5 individuals,
have taken more comprehensive
and effective measures than prob.
ably have ever been taken before
in such a situation.
City and state authorities have
generally organized to provide
work and prevent or allevlte dis.
tress due to lack Of employment,
"The response OF the general
public to appeais Of the widest
employment have been SO effective
that I think we should be the more
concerned to have the agencies OF
the federal government do their
very utmost share in this humane
effort. -
