premiership program demands three
years to bear fruit. that 1910 will
show a more serious situation than
1887" The material men, the Forum
points out, were the first to ses how
a shortage Of labor might well raise
the cost Of building to the point where
pre-fsbrication WOULD get big push
They promptly started training and
educating young men in the crafts. so
that they might do their parts in
keeping wages down. A building sup
ply dealer in Southwestern State has
encouraged nine young men in his
town to take up carpentry. In Mime.
sofa and Iowa several manufacturers
are urging young men to 60 to Mime
apolis' Dunwoody Institute. One
manufacturer Is putting 10 boys
through school, others are helping
with tuition"
For q time" the Forum says, "the
unions were inclined to insist that,
with prosperity in building, those who
had drifted to other occupations would
come back, that this would end for
ever the danger Of . shortage. Now
the argument Of the material men,
that even II they do come back they
will not be nearly 80 efficient, ID be-

Unemployment Still Exists.
There is no doubt that in the big
ger crafts, in certain areas, there Is
still considerable unemployment" the
Forum says. Union leaders point out
that with unemployment still existing,
1t is unfair to the apprentices to in
denture them to . craft where they
will not be able to find jobs later on.
So when the locals fail to encourage
apprentices, they are merely protect
ing their own" But in their dogged
insistence that no labor shortage Is
on the way "lies the most dimcult
aspect in the problem of alleviating
. potential shortage"
Citing factors that conspire to bring
about a shortage of building trades
men, the Forum says: To-day 40 per
cent of the 1000, ,00O-odd skilled build
ing mechanics are As years old or older.
The ratio: 1878 per cent are under "a,
224 per cent between Is and "a,
PIT per cent between IS and A,
2l2 per cent. between As and "a,
12.9 per cent between IS and "a, and
81 per cent IS and older. Absorption
of eligibles by the work relief rolls,
which is the bugaboo most consistently
conjured up by the New York Build
ing Trades Employers Association, has
probably not had the effect imagined.
w. P. A. Administrator Harry Hop
kins claims there are few eligibles on
his rolls; that most building trades-
men in w. p A. would be considered
too old by private capital"
The Forum points out that COM
mittee of the New York Building
Trades Employers Association, after
exploring the problem exhaustively,
"concluded that there could be no
shortage until 1888, and then only II
the situation were abetted by a rise
In contracts awarded during 1887 and
1898 greater than most prophets would
be inclined to forecast"

agencies had any control, he was de-
stroyed, even before pay-off could be
satisfactorily consummated.
True enough, did have to beg
the press to lay of. and 1t was
trying at times to carry on under an
overly avaricious news service, but
they did withdraw when I requested
them to. and continued to cooperate
with me in every way, and for this
I am very thankful.
"As far as the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation is concerned, I have
nothing but the highest praise. They
stood by me nobly and worked at all
times, first and foremost, for Charles
safe return.
Il have the greatest admiration for
the wonderfully thorough and Skillful
undercover handling of the case, and
am confident that they will eventual
ly get their man, even though the
working clues are rather meager.
II also wish at this time to ex-
press my appreciation to all other
law-enforcement agencies for their
prompt response at the time Charles
was taken and their lively interest at
all times since. Every assistance was
rendered by Chief Cole of the State
patrol as well as Chief Harold Bird
of the local police department, not TO
mention the sheriffs OF our local as
we'll as adjoining counties. For all
these things, am deeply grateful.
Kidnaper Not Former Patient.
"AS in any other case OF this type
many misstatements are made and
false conclusions are drawn. The
statement to the effect that the kid
naper was a disgruntled patient of
mine who was seeking revenge is en-
tirely without foundation.
Il have no enemies, I am sure. who
would perpetrate such a crime.
Neither did this man tell my son
Billy. that he had money in my house
which he wanted to get back; instead
he told Billy that a home such as this
should be good for some money and
when Billy replied that we did not
keep our money in the house but in
the bank, he Immediately grabbed
Charles and said he was just as good
as money.
Il am confident this man and Who
ever his colleague is are crooks who
have never previously handled job
OF this magnitude, and when they had
advanced to the stage where they
were ready to receive the ransom they
found Charles knew too mucn and
they dared not release him, 50 they
destroyed him.
"As further proof Of bunglng, I
am certain no intelligent criminal
would have picked me out for a ran
som, as there are several men of
wealth in Tacoma who would have
been far better prospects than I.
In spite Of the high hat story

limited means at the present time.
Like most others who had a COM
Portable accumulation a few years
ago, it was all swept away by the
depression and was heavily in debt
with large tax burden to carry

Home Principal Possession.
"I always lived simply and had
no social aspirations. My only rea-
son for a nice home was because all
of my interests were centered in my
home and family and I wished to
rear my children in the best surround
ings which I could afford.
The 5-acre estate Is just q little
hobby ranch below my home where
pensioner is given free rent and
seeds in return for taking care OF my
garden and orchard and shared the
crop with me.
Here I teach my boys useful work
and interest them in fish and game
and other wild life. I have. through
my own efforts, impounded two arti-
fetal lakes which are stocked with
trout and in one which Charles raised
flock Of wild mallard ducks this
past Summer.
1T Is my firm conviction and be-
lief that a child reared in this way
will never go wrong. Tor have never
yet known of man who was a lover
of the great outdoors who did not
always follow the straight and mar
row path through life.
Charles passing Is a heavy cross
for us to bear. especially so in view
Of the gruesome circumstances under
which he died. Yet we would not
shirk our duty and wish it on some
one else. for had not this fiend stepped
at our door he would surely have in
fiicted himself upon some other parent
who possibly could not have borne the
burden as well as We.
Sees Act of Providence.
There is undoubtedly divine act
of Providence which DEGREES what shall
happen at time like this. Otherwise,
why should that rabbit have led the
Morrow boy to little Charles hidden
body?
This is unquestionably going to
mean the eventual Identification of
the culprit and that justice will be
meted out as it always is in these cases.
Us it possible that little Charles
was sacrificed to further stimulate a
previous enraged public to the enact
ment of even more drastic laws, both
In the prevention of and in the pun
ishment for this awful crime?
IF this Is true, we shall feel that
Charles did not die in vain. An un-
dying faith in our Maker and a firm
conviction that Charles going was His
will and desire will give us strength to
carry on"

second was on a pass with McAbee
grabbing the leather, and the next
was on a line buck McAbee slash
ing over the middle of the line.
Captain Webb, the towering end
of the Monroe team was brilliant
player until forced to retire with
an injured leg. He played college
football in every department. His
advancing style of end play was a
delight to the eye. He consistently
crossed the terrain held by the
running back of the local team,
ever alert to turn back reverse
plays. His punting and pass recelv-
ing were of high order.
Washington's touchdown came
as a result of Jim Shaw's alert de-
fense. The Gonzaga boy grabbed
one of Monroe's passes and raced
81 yards to the GeorgianS' 10-yard
stripe. Then a pass to Foxx spun
through the air for a score.
Jack Crawford of Dewitt was out
standing in his zeal and general
play. His end was turned on sew
eral occasions by the fleet McAbee,
who was covered by interference
that would have gladdened the
heart of Cliff Battles. But Craw'
ford held the attention of critics
Throughout.
The All Stars drove the Georgia
boys just about beside themselves
with a thrilling aerial attack which
threatened direful things. It was
simple but effective bit Of STRAIT
egy. The All-Stars let the Monroe
linemen come crashing through,
and then lobbed a soft pass into
the flat. Bill Kemp and AL Kid
well alternated in passing the ball
and receiving the throws. Jack
Belote was another prominent
back for the District warriors.
One march endured from the
local 20-yard line to the Monroe
27 before the ball was surrendered
as a pass grounded on the la S
down.
The All-Stars were a bit over:
come by the importance Of the
game at the start, but as the game
progressed they played far better
football. A most noticeable i'm
provement in their play was ir
rushing the passer. In the second
period the District 1inesmen
seemed to wait for the Monroe at
tack to develop. After that there
was a far better charge to their
defense.
