Job Hunters Problem

washington are wasting not only
their own time, but the time of
all the personnel clerks, who
merely take down their names
and addresses and file them
away, in the forlorn hope Of
notifying them Of a Job that
does not and probably never will
exist.
To a man every personnel off,
Ger in Washington hopes and
prays that some mighty force
will some day warn the folks
back home not to come to Wash
ington.
Without putting an element of
alarm in 1t, the situation is really
serious. Discourag girls have
Jumped out hotel and apartment
windows after fruitless tricks In
search of jobs. Boys have gone
the long trail Of the hobo. Aged
men and women sought surcease
from sorrow by going on relief.
Only the extreme tragedies
make the headlines-those who
Jump of bridges or take gas.
The others, tucking their
broken hearts under their arms,
emulate the example of the
Arabs-and silently sneak away
from the City Of Magnificent
Distances.

It's the strikqput in the game

me with such a panic that jumped

said that he had not been asleep, but
that 1t was vision that he saw that

certainly q dream and no waking

did in bed, Edward and Jane came in to
him. They were in the most horrible
condition, their bodies lacerated. their
bones starting through their skins,
their faces pale yet stained with blood.
They could hardly walk. but Edward
was weakest and Jane was supporting
him.
Edward has said, Get up. Shelly.
The sea Is flooding the house and it
is all coming down Shelly got UP,
he thought, and looked out of his
window that looked out on the terrace
and the sea and he thought he saw
the sea rushing In. Suddenly the
vision changed and he saw the figure
of himself strangling me. That had
made him rush into my room.
Talking it over the next morning,
he told me that he had had many
visions lately. He had seen the figure
of himself which met him as he walked
on the terrace and said to him: How
long do you mean TO be content|
Shelly had often seen these figures
when i'll. But the strangest thing is
that Mrs. williams saw him."
