and action may be taken later. Dr.
Longton said she based her opinion on
conversations with various 7 members.
The Rev. Guy Fitch Phelps and L. D.

Kew York, Jan. 13. - A force of IS
burglars is believed to have worked In
leisurely fashion In entering the Pro

warehouse, selecting . eases of liquor
valued at 950.000, and loading them on
a truck, which rried the loot away.
Through the assistance of an "inside

alarms were offset and the strong doors
of the warehouse were opened without
effort.

Washington, Jan. 13. Despite Isolat
ed reports to the contrary, unemployment
Is decreasing.
Although most farm hands and other
outdoor workmen ar jobless, a gemsral
survey of conditioas reveals a gradual
increase In employment throughout the
country. . .
Taken as a whole the nation has rea
son to feel optimistic that the next 2V6
months win see a positive rise toward
normal prosperity, according to federal
author! ties. These facts were empha
sised by Francis L Jones, director gea-
eral of the United States employment
bureau, la an exclusive Interview with
the United Kewa
MOKE WOBJC BT SrBXXQ
"Fear that employment has decreased
to an alarmingly low level has been due
to the absence of a comparative frame
of mind oa the part of the average per
son. 7 Director Jones said. "la dealing
with these conditions a man must take
into consideration what is, what was
and what win be. By spring st least
half of the 4.000,006 unemployed will
have found Jobs.
The seasonal occupations are don.
That means unemployment for several
thousand. In the latter part of 1921a

noted.

back door of Farmer Brown's house, and
when l was opened for him ruahed in
so suddenly that he almost upset Farmer
Browns Boy. With his tail between
his legs and trembling he crept behind
the stove.
"Well, what do you make of that?''
exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. ."Bows-I
er acts as If scared half to death."
He stepped outside to look around.
All was as quiet and peaceful as usual.
Farmer Brown's Boy shook his head.
Bowser must have been taking a nap I
and had a bad dream, said he.
Under the stack of straw in the bam-1
yard Old Man Coyote was still chuckling
to himself. To him it was a great Joke. I
He wished that some of the other people I
of the Green Forest could have seen lt
It had worked out Just as he had hoped
It would. He knew that It was the sur
prise of the thing that had taken the
heart out of Bowser, and that Bowser
hadn't really recognised him. And he
knew that having given Bowser such s
fright It would be easy to do it again.
He was very well pleased, was Old Man
Coyote, with the way his plan bad succeeded.
By the next morning Bowser was quite
himself again. For the time being he
had forgotten the terrible creature who I
hsd chased him home the afternoon be-1
fore. When Mrs. Brown came out with
bis breakfast he wagged his tail with
eagerness. There was nothing the mat
ter with his appetite that morning.
Mrs. Brown put down the plate of I
food and hurried back into . the bouse.
Bowser began to eat A low growl I
caused him to turn. Coming around
the corner of the abed was the same
terrible creature who had chased him
home the day before. There were the!
same snapping teeth, flashing eyes and I
bristling hair. Right then and there
Bcwser lost hla appetite. Tea. sir. he
did. He lost his appetite completely. I
Between his legs went hla tall, and with I
a little yelp of fear he raced around the!
corner of the house and down the drivel
to the road. There be stopped to look!
back.
He could see no one, for from there!
he could not see back Of the house. Fori
a long time be stood there, undecided I
whether to run or to go back. Then. I
stopping every few steps and ready to I
run at the first sign of danger, he slowly
made his way back. Cautiously he
peeped around the corner of the house. I
There was no one there The plate I
which had con tamed hla breakfast was I
empty, but he didn't give that a thought
He wasn't hungry. He wanted, more
than anything else, to get Inside the
house. And so be whined and scratched
at the door until It was opened for him.
