Conditions Serious
Here, But Optimism
Continues To Gain
Encouraging Reports From Factories Show Upward
Trend in Business; Government Orders Continue
to Play Leading Part in Recovery Program

Unofficial reports from the welfare
department show that the large load
carried by the city for about q year,
load which has shown steady
monthly increase from last october
until the end Of August, Is showing
continued decrease.
While the figure, which shows
that more than 5000 persons are re-
ceiving some form Of aid from the
city, is slightly less, the situation
remains o heavy burden, 1t was
stated.
Principal element Of optimism Ia
found in the weekly, or twice-week-
ly, reports Of the large employers OF
labor, 1t was remarked. Recently
there has been gain In the number
called back TO employment, chiefly
by the larger manufacturers.
Back Of this Improvement Is pre-
sumed to be the receipt Of num-
Der Of large orders from the gov
eminent. But more important to
manufacturers Is the current condi-
ton Of their stocks which shows
surplus inventory about exhausted.
While the largest concerns have
not made any sudden demand for
employees, II Is known that numbers
who were kept on at shortened
hours by general agreement that
the available work should be spread
out as much as possible, now are
working on more nearly normal
schedules. Employees who were laid
of are being called back, more Of
these from week to week, reports
show.

HIGHWAY PLANS.
UPSET BY STORM.
State Dept. Forced to Re-
Route Traffic in Vari.
out Areas

Road conditions throughout the
state have undergone no material
change in so far as the actual work
on contracts is concerned. No detail
list Of road construction or detours
Is included at this time because the
general conditions have made nee
essary complete re-routing Of travel
In many instances. These conditions
no doubt, will materially improve
within the next week so that future
details concerning construction and
detours may be outlined.
Damage due to hurricane and
floods naturally will interfere to
some extent with travel although
the entire personnel of the State
Highway Department is actively at
work In making such temporary re-
pairs as may be necessary TO open
all the trunk line and state aid
routes. Where bridges were des-
troyed, for the most part, temporary
structures or detours have been pro-
vided and will be maintained until
these bridges and culverts may be
replaced with permanent structures.
There are two elements which
should be given consideration in
travelling over the various highways;
namely washouts and debris incl
dent to the falling Of trees, which
have not been fully removed. The
burning Of leaves or debris should
be sufficiently removed from the
highway so that danger Of collision
through collection Of smoke may be
avoided. Such collisions have &C.
Cured In the past. It Is also urgent
that special care be exercised In
travel because Of wet leaves and
other debris on the highway. Wet
leaves introduce very considerable
element OF hazard which can be
avoided II operators will observe due
care and reduce their speed so that
the car may always be under con-
troll.

Some with recent records were

judge.
"I've got the money, all Of it,"
the prisoner at the bar inter-
jected In an aside to his spouse.
Prosecutor Frank r. Healey
made note of this and the Judge
required that the prisoner pro-
duce the money, "all Of It,"
The man dug deep and pulled
forth some bills, proffered them
to his wife, albeit with reluctance.

demanded.
The Judge and the prosecutor
seconded the inquiry, in a manner

More reluctantly the prisoner

possession.

There are a few tricks which may
be used on the canned variety that
will give them a little added flip
ail your own. For instance. when
Using the prepared fishball mix
t;lre. don't mold it into hard, per-
Gectly packed balls-leave it rather
loose and fluffy, and drop it by
SDoonfuls into the hot fat. This
results in feather-light concoctions,
Golden brown, and as heavily beard
cd as the Smith Brothers-which
all good fish balls should be!
Pep up your canned baked beans
this way:
Use beans that are prepared with
CT without tomato sauce. Combine
one can of them with l tablespoon
rnolasses, 2 chopped onions, y
teaspoon dry mustard and a drop
on two of Worcestershire sauce.
Turn the mixture into bean pots,
or large pottery casserole, and
heat through. Just before serving,
place strips Of broiled bacon on
top.
The brown bread in tins comes
with or without raisins, as you
prefer. Many people like it cold,
Just as it comes, but in our house
hold we like to heat it almost to
the toasting point and eat it with
butter and cream cheese. (By the
way, for tea sometime try making
thin sandwiches of it spread with
cream cheese and a slice of real
guava pasteD
Now, if you want to really do
the whole thing yourself, and not

l-re are the recipes:

egg
/. tablespoon butter
l teaspoon minced parsley

Peachy Dessert.

Place one slice of pound cake (cut
thin on individual dessert plates.
Then nest generous tablespoonful
OF whipped cream (sWeetened with
strained honey in the center of the
slice of cake. And finally, center a
canned peach half in the whipped
cream.
This is an excellent hurry-up un-
expected-company dessert and is a
good one to keep on an emergency
recipe list.
