Job Detect0r Force
to the Hungarian throne.

e The members of The Washing
ton Times Job Detector Force are
starting the last week of the mid
summer campaign to provide
gainful work for unemployed men
and women of the city with even
more zest and interest than they
displayed in the early days of the
drive.
The boys themselves account
for this in several ways. Knowl-
edge that they have helped heads
of families to earn and support
their families. enjoyment of treats
provided through The Times and
the District Committee on EN-
ployment and the recognition
given to them and their work by
District officials and civic lead
erS, they say. have helped Them
most in their work, according to
George j. Adams, jr., executive
secretary Of the District Commit

from MIR. Adams of the Splen-

the Washington Times Job De

the Midsummer Job Campaign.
II am informed that the

great zeal and determination,
and that the spirit which they
manifest is by no means a re.
suit Of the many pleasurable
outings with which The Times
rewards them for their service.
at is a fine thing, having
young boys of school age to
assist in the work of relieving
unemployment at a time when
such relief is most imperative.
ITO my way Of thinking the
most interesting part of the
whole undertaking is the fact
that the Washington Times has
discovered a way by which boys
actually may assist i'm the &C

Leo first crippled the bear and than forced 1t from the hemlocks and downed 1t. Corliss is said to be the best moose hunter in the country. He goes into the woods and picks out 3 spot where moose are very in- frequent. Then he. starts yodeling. Have you heard Walter yodel? Well, in a little while the moose are just sWarming in the area and all Wal ter has to do is to down one of them.
