Vanishing Note
Speaking of dogs, H. w. Clough's
pet came very close to undergoing
an experience with a stomach pump
not long ago. 1t came about in
this way.
Clough showed up at the district
attorneys office and complained
that he knew he was wanted by
some court in the county but had
only a faint idea of what court.
Weren't you served with sub
.poena?" Don Bitler, deputy, asked.
' Yes. but my dog ate it, Clough
explained.

Swell Service
1t happened a long time ago but
S. T. Marshall of Ell Centre is
still looking for the slicker who
put across one of those "once in a
lifetime stunts.
The stranger was making out
a check to pay for some goods he
had purchased and asked Mar
shall to make out the check fol
him. Obligingly, Marshall did.
please sign here said the strang-
er, and Marshall did. .-. f.
The stranger accepted the goods
as well as change and went merrily
on his way. At the end of the
month when Marshall was going
over his checks he found he had
made out and signed the check
himself!
That beats any absent-minded
professor we ever heard of.

Quick, a Prescription

Quick, a Prescription
A wild-eyed individual rushed
into the county purchasing agents
office and asked excitedly:
where's the prescription board?''
Merriam E. Douglas, deputy, was
too astonished to speak and the
man rushed out again.
With the aid of a crystal ball and
a smattering of astrology we figured
out he was looking for the regis
tration board, though whether he
wanted the alien registration or
the selective service board we could
not divine.

Bond Averages
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 13-The bond
market was under moderate selling
pressure today but selective buying
in individual cases was sufficient to
hold most losses to small proper
tions
Going into the final hour declines
of fractions to around a point were
in the majority with some Of the
higher priced utilities contesting the
main trend. These included Mon
tana Power 3ais and Pacific Gas
3s4s.
Losing some ground were, among
others, Laclede Gas SIS, Interna-
tional Telephone IS. Illinois Central
ASS, Allegheny SIS. Loew's 3l2s, New
York Central IS, Nickel Plate 5l2s,
Southern Pacific 412s and Wal
worth As.
United States Governments were
extremely quiet, but the few tram
sactions in the group brought minor
declines from Tuesdays prices.
Denmark 512s lost more than S
points, but other dollar loans did
little either way.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Unemploy-
ment declined sharply during Sep
TENDER for the fifth consecutive
month to 1905 900 persons from TO-
100000 in April, the high prior to
the present downward movement,
according to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute.
The decrease from August to Sep
TENDER was due largely to seasonal
rise in retail trade employment and
to gain in industrial employment.
The expectation of a further sea-
SOnal rise in retail trade employment
without an offsetting curtailment of
industrial activity is indicative of a
continued decline in unemployment
for the remainder OF the year.
If unemployment shows a decrease
similar to that experienced from
September to December last year,
the number of persons unemployed
may be expected to drop to approxi-
mately 100000 persons by the END
of this year, or close to the past de-
cade's low of 7,618,0OO reached in
September 1887.

In considering the many phases of

committee submitted the following re-

"The youth problem in every civ

ter of real concern. In the totalitarian
States the RECOMMENDATION of youth has
been the basis by which dictators have
sought to perpetuate themselves.
'In many of the democratic coun-
tries the plight of unemployed youth
has become threat to the stability

"In recognition of the reality of
the special problems with which youth

between an account number card and

employers would not hire them if they
could not produce cards. The country's
working population, as a whole, now
realizes that jobs and numbers go
together, but there are still a few
workers who neglect to apply at one
of the Boards field Offices for cards
or duplicates if the cards originally
issued to them have been lost or de-
stroyed. It was to aid these persons
particularly, that the Employment
Service undertook the job of dis
tributing applications for account

preparation where necessary"

to help fight and keep our chinaware

we can order more. This is just an
other of the many ways to keep the

1t was a pleasure to attend and note
the manner in which President Will
