vigilance in ridding the country of

that l have never held up any one al

CHANCE BEATS CUPID.
LOVE ANALYST FINDS
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October Flew men
ever marry the first woman with
whom they fall in love, claims Elsa
Rema, writing in Der Montag
Chance, she asserts, is mightier than
Cupid, and usually first loves become
separated.
Seldom does man marry the in
carnation of his ideals, she continues.
Usually the male who wanted a bru-
nette marries a blonde; the one who
craved good cook gets piano player
who doesn't know the difference be-
tween pork and veal; he who desired a
swell dresser" weds plain spinster,
and so on.
Men marry readily when young,
Frauline Rema finds, but when they
are self-styled confirmed bachelors. -
clever and sympathetic housekeepers
have the best chance of landing them,
especially If adept in culinary arts.
Such bachelors often marry from
the sheer fear that the housekeepers
will resign and leave them to the ten
der mercies of others not so gifted.
Widowers also are easy marks for
aspiring females. says the writer, who
explains:
"They no longer know how to live
alone. They are used to their own
hearth and home and they are unable
to do without female cares and ten
derness."

shows.
"The call Coz fa~~ labor in North
Dakota r2"Auins bri.'; with plenty OF
states. Building tradesmen are plen-
tiful. Factories generally are oper-
atng at normal"
At Fargo, the report said, there i
a brisk call for thresherrlen, potato
pickers and general farm labor.
Building operations have slackened
somewhat but there is not IA serious
surplus of tradesmen. Local indus
trial plants are running at normal
and shortage of domestic help is
reported.
AT Grand Forks local plants are
operating with normal quotas. There
is good call for threshers and gen
eral farm labor. There has been Il
slight decrease in employment among
building tradesmcn since last month"
Situation Similar In Other States
The general situation throughout
the district. which also includes Min
nesota, Missouri Iowa. Kansas, Ne.
braska and South Dakota, is declared:
to be similar to that in North Da-
kota. An Improvement in industrial
circles was noted during the month in
Minnesota, and prospects are good
for ample employment in the build
ing industries for another 60 days.
A surplus Of clerical and sales help
is reported although sales by depart
ment stores are giving temporary
employment to Il number Of these.
Iron mining is still active, there is
little unemployment in am of the
states larger industrial centers and
general farm help is in good demand.
The Twin Cities are enjoying the
same situation that affects other
parts of the state.
In Missouri labor conditions are
held to be satisfactory with con-
tnuation of this condition for some
months. Conditions represent an i'm
provement over Il year ago in most
of the larger cities of the, district.
Similar conditions exist in Iowa, Ne.
braska and South Dakota, although
in some places there is slight sur-
plus Of common labor and the demand
for threshcrmcn shows Il falling off
in South Dakota over previous weeks.
In general, however, the situation is
held to be far better than ut this
time year ago.
