ESSAY FOR THE WEEK

who Is Leading The Way"
Dear Villagers, the reporter is
really worried this week. 1 am
wondering, do you realize Just
what is going on? What is hap
pening all over the dear old
USA. What is it? UNEMPLoY-
MENT, Laying on by the thouS-
ands, not only among skilled
labor, but all the everyday Jobs
that sixty per cent of us are
holding. To whom are we to turn
for help? Who is going to pay
your rent, buy the food, pay the
doctor bills? Villagers, who and
where are the leaders of this
district? You should call on the
politicians who stand and rate
so high down town, who call on
you at every election to give
your time, expensive time, so
far as you are concerned. Also
the elected officials of this dis
trict Shoul dknow that, as your
representative, you need his aid
at this critical time. Seriously
though, I doubt IL the majority
Of you know your Councillor,
Representative, State Senator
or Congressman. Well, for your
personal information, you should
find out vino these gentlemen
are and what they are going
to do when private industry Is
doing It's best to give the coun-
try a man-made depression.
These men are supposed to be
your leaders, so they say, when
your votes are needed and they
are delivering their campaign
I think that the time
is appropriate and urgent for
our leaders to start all of the, big
jobs that have been held up be-
cause of some Beacon Hill group

GUY
 ARRESTED,

FIeeeer of GuIIibIe Women Rounded Up by h.
 tended vieiim

CHICAGO, June 25.-1R-Sigmund 2. Engel, who for 50 years has wooed gullible widows and fleeced them of their fortunes, has been tripped up by one of his intended victims.
 The dapper, aged Lothario. whose suave talk and glib manner earned him reputation as an international confidence man, was seized in a police trap in Michigan Avenue shop.
 Mrs. Genevieve Parro. 55-year-old widow, led the 73-year-old Engel into the police net as they went to the shop to buy luggage for a pro- posed holiday trip.
 Mrs. Parro became suspicious of the smooth talking Romeo who posed as Paul Marshall, a wealthy Evanston resident--after he started a whirlwind courtship with her earlier this week. She notified Po- licewoman Marian Hagen. her sis -in-law. The arrest followed.
 Police said Engel in his statements denied he ever had married any of the women he had taken money from
 "Only King Solomon could marry that many" he said.
 T am always gentleman" he added. And a gentleman is man who knows right from wrong, ex- cept in matters concerning money, After all, all I've done in taking women's money is nothing that the politicians don't do every day.

 A woman bought a drinking bowl for her dog. The clerk asked if she wanted the word dog painted on it.
 No thanks" said the woman. My husband doesn't drink water ard the dog can't read.'
