D. c. EMPLOYMENT
FOUND IMPROVED
Industrial Bulletin Declares
Capital Ahead of Nation
at Large.

Some Improvement" was noted in
the general employment situation In
WASHINGTON during April, according TO
the Industrial Employment Informa-
ton Bulletin, Just issued for that month
by the Department of Labor.
In cataloguing employment in the
Capital as showing some improve
ment" over March the Labor Depart
ment placed Washington in a better
situation than the country at large, in
which 1t reported the situation cannot
be described as satisfactory" Some
Improvement was reported for Virginia,
while Maryland was credited with
showing little change" over March.
Normal Industrial STATS.
Industrial plants in the District Of
Columbia in most instances operated
during April with normal stats. Hotels
and restaurants retained their employees
through the Spring tourist influx, al
though these stats generally are fur
Laughed after the Easter season. Sat
isfactory operations" obtained in the
Capitals printing plants. While the
number of applicants for positions at
the public employment office increased
during April, the percentage Of persons
given positions increased materially
over the preceding month. There was
good demand" for domestic servants,
salespeople and miscellaneous outside
workers, but with an ample supply
available
While there was large volume of
private and Federal building, municipal
street improvements and utility work,
1t was not SUFFICIENT to absorb all the
resident skilled and unskilled workers.
Permits issued call for the expenditure
of about $4,778,720 on building projects,
including apartment houses, dwellings,
Office structures and bank, the latter
to cost $1,500,000.
A majority Of Maryland's plants OPP
Grated on q normal basis but a number
of them curtailed their production
schedules, giving the State virtually the
same employment Status it held in
April Improvement was provided in
the out-of-doors employments. A good
volume Of building was under way in
most communities, but it was not
enough to absorb the available labor.
Farmers in most localities reported
enough available labor to take care OF
the increased seasonal demands. A
slight surplus of labor prevailed In
Baltimore, but unemployment among
skilled trades laborers was being rap
idly absorbed at the close OF the month.
Silk Mills Worked Overtime.
The major industries in Virginia OPP
Grated on satisfactory" schedule in
most instances, the report shows. A
few plants closed. due to seasonal in
fuences, but overtime operations were
reported in some Of the silk mills. Sew
eral large building projects were under
way, and highway construction absorbed
many men. An increase in agricul-
tural activities afforded employment to
a large number of workers. No short
age of any class Of labor was reported.

OF all the trips he has had, Capt.

Boil Your Drinking Water.

ITO avoid typhoid fever and other mites
| final diseases. boil your drinking water
unless you are sure that your water supply
| is free from contamination. is the advice
DR.. r. H. Riley. Director of the State De-
partment of Health. gives to all who depend
upon private water supplies. He gives the
same advice to campers. mixers. motorists
and others who are tempted to quench their
thirst at springs or streams.
Because of the drought" DR.. Riley said.
the possibility of contamination from sur
face drainage is much greater than it is
during normal season. Even a long rainy
spell would not decrease the danger. A
heavy rainfall following prolonged drought
is likely TO wash accumulated filth into
water courses and unprotected water sup
plies.
Largely from this cause, there has been
an increase in typhoid all over the country.
We have had one severe outbreak in Mary
land this season. but it was due to con-
taminated milk. not water. Through the
early discovery of the sources and their
correction, the outbreak was brought under
control and was confined to one section.
In connection with it. all users of milk from
unprotected sources were urged to boil
their milk And that advice holds good at
any time. 1t is equally important for drink
ine water from questionable sources to be
boiled

Walter L. Main Talks About Wild
Animals.
Many animals with Big Circus coming
to Rockville on Wednesday, Sept. II.

"Of all the animals that are trained for
circus performances, the elephant is the
most intelligent" thus quotes this we'll
known circus Snowman of Walter l.. Main
Circus, Menagerie and Egyptian Caravan,
which will give afternoon and night per-
formances in Rockville on the Fair Grounds
Walter L. Main ought to know animals
for he has been an animal trainer ever
since he was boy in his teens, and ranks
as one of the most efficient and expert
trainers of animals in the United States.
Among other interesting things Mr.. Main
quotes: Elephants learn with phenome-
nal quickness and they do not show that
aversion to their tricks that the cat ami
mails do. have seen animals practice
difficult tricks voluntarily when they didn't
know anybody was around" Speaking of
the cat animals Mr.. Main says that about
seven weeks are required to teach trained
lion or a bear trick, while little longer
time is required to teach leopardor tiger.
1t is of the opinion of Mr. Main that the
above named animals have even more
capacity for learning than horse. He
said that while a tiger can be taught to
walk upon its hind legs in three or four
months, it will require much longer period
of time to teach q horse to do the same
trick.
There are many outstanding animal
features with the Walter L. Main Circus.
A baby camel was recently born and said
to be the first to be born in this country in
over fifty years. With the two Egyptian
dromedaries. the largest ever imported.
came a baby elephant, which takes its
daily rations yet from the bottle, these
along with the baby leopards and lion
