Charlie CHUCK" Harrell invad-
ed Regina, Canada, short time
ago. He made the acquaintance
of the provincial middleweight
champion, Babe Matthews. The
Observation-Disclosures acquaint-
ance proved an unfortunate meet
ing for our idol, Charlie. He was
on the canvas for four nine counts
when the referee stopped the fight
in the first round. We still have
confidence in our CHUCK" and
think he can lick the guy that
wrote fms on his encounter the
other day. But we have known all
along his disinclination to keep at
the fighting game, but to please
his admirers here and in Montana
he was persuaded to uphold Mon
tana's end of the game. BY this
defeat he lost none of the popular

state as it's top man.

that was the largest offering he
had received from any club as a
gift since he had been pastoring
and stated that he felt like crying
for joy. The President said it was
difficult to make goal of this
worthy cause without the support
of the members and that it was
due to the support of others who
saw fit to help, and personal work
that brought the surprise

ENGLISH CROWN IS NOW STUNNED
 AS CUMBERSOME

LONDON, Jan 6. = The best hoarded coin of the realm, and probably the least liked. is the five shilling" silver piece or crown worth in American cur grency approximately SIPS.
 It is big and cumbersome, and mostly associated with "jubilees..'
 Traders don't like the coin, and when they get any they usually send them back to the bank quick ly.
 In the liquor trade there is a superstition that any bartender ac- cepting one is destined for early dismissal
 The extinction of the coin, some times called a "cartwheel," has been predicted periodically, but it keeps cropping up. The Royal Mint recently announced no more would be struck for the remainder of 1888.

5000, GOO Jobs Laie in '3S
 Help Brighten a Dark Year
By A. A. PATTON
Associated Press Statistician

Associated Press Statistician
 NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Although 1888 started with severe slump in business adding daily to the number of unemployed, the last half year saw recovery take hold and the na- tion's working force increase by all most 100000 mec and women.
 Unique among depressions, the recent setback was accompanied by relatively little wage-cutting. Indeed, a compilation by the National In dustrial Conference Board based on 25 manufacturing industries shows the average wage actually increased from 68 cents an hour last January to Fl cents late in the year.
 Hours of work, however, were slashed drastically, which amounts to the same thing as wage cut as far as the employees pay-check is concerned.
 Unemployment Starts
 At the low point of the slump in May, the Conference Board, re- search organization supported chief ly by large corporations, estimated Il ,362,000 people were without pri- rvate jobs. This was a 100 per cent increase over the number only eight months earlier and lifted the jobless army to the level prevailing early in 1885.
 The squirt in business that got under way during the summer, however, put millions of men back on private payrolls. Industrial ac- tivity, measured by The Associated Press seasonally adjusted index, climbed from 66 per cent of the 1929-30 average in May to 94 toward the years close, record breaking six months rise.
 Close to 451a million men and women were drawing pay checks from private employers as 1888 pass ed into history, compared with 42h million at the low in May, the Board estimated.
 Industry accounted for practically all the improvement in employment during the last six months. Jobs provided by agriculture-roughly one-quarter of the total-showed virtually no recovery although crops generally were comparatively heavy. The number of farm workers was es- timated to have remained practically unchanged at 11,200,00O toward the year-end, only slightly above the years low, whereas industrial em- ployment jumped 2,500,000 to 16,- 50O,000.
 Building Employment Gains

STRATEGY

To some it is sacrilege to talk of d Supreme Court appointment in the same sentence with patronage, but such offices are stategic weap- ons in the hands of President faced by laggard or unruly Con- gress.
 He doesn't need to make the appointment in order to persuade a particular congressman to vote this way or that on a piece of legis- lation desired by the Administra- ton. He may fill vacancy with a certain type of candidate simply to indicate his pleasure or dis pleasure with congressional action
 Certain it is that the appoint ment of Senator Black to the Su- preme Court was more widely in- terpreted as whack at the Senate for defeating the court bill than as recognition of Blacks attain ments as a jurist.
 The kind of appointments the President has in reserve are these a Supreme Court Justice to succeed the late Justice Cardozo (made yes- terday), an Ambassador to Russia, Ministers to Canada and Iran (Per- sia to me and yow, Comptroller General, three Circuit Court Jus tices, one District of Columbia judge Is district judges. eight district at- torneys, one member of the Federal Reserve Board, one Federal Power Commissioner, two Interstate Con- merce Commissioners, one member of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, one IVA director (made yesterday. one Distric> of Colum- bia Commissioner. and no end of subordinate positions likely to grow out of the shift of Harry Hopkins to the Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce.
