Report for February Shows
Valuable Services Rendered
to Unemployed.

According to Arvid B. Olson, district
manager of the National Re-employ-
ment Service, the offices under his con-
troll at Virginia, Hibbing, Ely, Flood
wood, Grand MaraiS Grand Rapids and
Two Harbors placed 146 in private and
public employment during February.
Thirty-five in addition to the above
were women.
The Ely office, under the direction of
Thomas Hewitt who is here from Vir-
ginia two days in each week, placed
one in private employment and 16 in
public employment.
The Service in Minnesota placed ap-
plicants in 1923 jobs with private en-
ployers during February 1887 as against
1,121 for February 1886, an increase of
31.1 per cent. These figures were re-
vealed today by Dreng Bjornaraa of
st. Paul, state director of the service,
with Is offices throughout Minnesota
exclusive of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth. Normally "Slow" month, the
February figure is but slightly below
the 1852 private placements made in
January this year. In addition, 743
jobs with government agencies were
filled.
The active file of March l contained
the applications of 63,037 persons either
unemployed or seeking better jobs.
March l Is moving time, and with it
comes a demand for farm labor to
assist with putting in crops, repairing
marchinery, and with farm operations
in general. In this connection farmers
throughout the state are offered the
facilities of National Unemployment
offices in securing competent workers
More than 1900 farm jobs were filled
by this service last year, according to
Mr.. Bjornaraa, who states that in
creased activity can be expected this
season as result of greater number
of farmers having been faniharized
with the N. R. S.
Farmers are invited, said Mr.. Bjorn-
araa, to telephone, write to, or call on
their nearest office. Most of the Is
offices in the state have an available
list of qualified applicants seeking farm
work, but if suitable person is not
available locally, the Office will clear
with other Offices in order to secure
just the type of worker desired. The
service is furnished without charge to
farmers and applicants alike. As OF
March /, Mr.. Bjornaraa reports, the
files contained 2,OO1 applications for
farm work.
Placement activities of the MRS in
Minnesota are not confined to securing
jobs for maids, farm hands, and day
workers, according to Mr.. Bjornaraa
During February, jobs in 96 different
occupations were filled, including four
appraisers, a refrigeration engineer, a
sales manager, a master mechanic, and
a bench machinist. The total of 1928
jobs with private employers also in
Guided 35 machine aSsemblers, Is car
penters, 16 cooks, 127 day workers, 1872
farm hands, 35 houSekeepers, 43 house
men, 439 laborers, 302 maids, 16 nurses

Euen a Ne,u, Icy Sled Cant Take

CALLANDER, Ontario, Dec. 20
Canadian Press .-Yvonne Dionne
plunged down an icy slide today,
somersaulted from her sled into a
snowbank and bobbed up splitting snow
and shouting. "Pere Noel sen Went!
Pere Noel sen vient!"
The fact Santa Claus is coming has
been all the Dionne quintuplets have
been able to talk about for days and
ever a new slide in their front yard
ha- been dwarfed in Importance by
the old gentleman's imminent arrival.
The slide was ready yesterday and
the quints stopped talking about
Christmas long enough to troop out
in 12-below zero weather and test it.
Before you could say Yvonne, Annette,
Emile, Cecile and Marie they had the
thing figured out and were sliding
down its icy surface, lying on their
sleds in expert fashion.

her and discussed his coming in the
mixture Of French and quint-talk

They have q clear idea of what
the old fellow looks like because their
nurses and teacher have been show
ing them pictures, and they remember
that several weeks ago a man in a
white beard and red costume fondled
them while another snapped pictures.
No one around the Dafoe nursery has
been able to find out whether they
identified the bearded man with DR..
Allan Dafoe but they were pretty
affectionate If they thought him a
stranger.

erations with the advice Of German
military strategists. They said Chang
believed it would enable Chinese
armies to hold the Japanese in check.
Military ofacials said they believed
Japan soon would attempt to land
troops in the Canton area to begin
an offensive in South China. The
main objective, they said, would be to
sever China's main source OF supplies
along the Canton Hankow Railroad.
The British, they said, were making
thorough plans to prevent any danger
to British Territory in Hong Kong,
crown colony on the South China
coast.
These officials believe Japan would
need at least three army divisions for
effective action in South China and
many times that number to hold,
pacify and garrison the territory she
already holds in the rest of China.
Possible japanese Course.
They predicted also that Japan
would attempt to open communications
both along the -Tientsin and
Canton -Hankow Railroads to merge
her armies in South and Central
China with those in the North.
A third Japanese operation, they
said, might be an attempt to isolate
Shantung Province in the north to cut
off Gen. Han Fuchus defense forces
and compel the Shantung governor to
sue for peace directly with Japan.

were informed.
Inside the station, the gunman
took SIS, a change-carrier and the
wallets of both men. Mr.. Donaldson
said he didn't know whether the
bandit had an automobile, but that
he said his car with the "fiat" was
around the corner.
Description Of Two.
Mr.. Donaldsons description of the
robber, was: About 10 years old, S
feet s or 7 inches tall; weight, 140
pounds; wearing dark, dirty navy-blue
suit, soiled white collar, dirty gray
cap, light-brown hair and bulging
eyes. The filling station manager said
the bandits face was drawn, as if
he hadn't eaten for days.
The police description of Bowers
is: l9 years old; feet 7 or 8 inches
tall; weight, 1875 pounds: light brown
hair, thin, sallow face, slender build /;
wearing dark brown cap, brown over
coat blue shirt, black cotton socks,
black shoes and having peculiar eyes.
Police further described him as
having a pleasant manner, having
worked as golf caddy and also as a
procurer for colored women" For
this reason they were paying special
attention to the colored section here.
The serious business of crime detect
ing took a humorous turn shortly
after noon, when, within the space
OF five minutes. men said to resemble

separated sections of the city. The
activities of Bowers" included watch

Two Other Tips Fail.
Two other tips" that at first seemed
hot" were investigated during the
night, but neither proved of value, in
the opinion Of police
One was that Bowers" had mo-
Tested young Government employe
in the 100 block Of Gallatin street
NV. Police said, however, the woman
was too shaken by the experience of
having the man grab her arm to give
a good description.
The other had Bowers" drinking at
a Maryland roadhouse. Two suspects
arrested there were identified as an
employe Of Washington department
store for ~ years and the other as
lifelong resident of the District.
Other Calls Are Made.
A number of other calls were made
at police headquarters by persons. who
had seen Bowers picture in the news
paper and were certain they had seer
him here.
Bowers has been widely sought
since last Monday night, when he al
legedly shot to death Mrs. Wilma
Carpenter after attempting to assault
both her and young companion in
Mrs. Carpenters suburban Phila-
delphia home.
The possibility that the murder
suspect was in this area was strength
ened by the belief of Philadelphia
police that he had been known to have
a job waiting in Richmond.
