The Constitution of the United States was drawn and perfected by the ablest body of men ever assembled to launch aad establish a Government to be ruled by law. The departments were created—one makes the laws, another carries out the laws, aad a third in terprets the laws. Officials are choaen to enforce the laws.« The first article in the Constitution creates the Legislative Department—much the longest article, occupying more than one-third of the entire docu ment Every department acts upon laws, administers laws and is governed and controlled by laws. Very few individual rights or property values have any existence outside of laws creating them, Our government is essentially created to obviate and nullify the practioe and effects of Communism, Bolshevism and anarchy in its operation.

TURNING THE PAGES BACK W A S H IN G TO N — Unemploy ment In this country is f a r ' from breadline stage, bat l i f t M • aeen no shortage of labor. - During the firs t nlpe months of the year moat of the larger In d u s tr i^ reported a labor sur plus and this was especially tru e In the sgmiqer, when Industrial Jobs were scarcest. Various opinions have haen ad vanced aa to the amount of unem ployment existing. A speaker at the recent American Federation of Labor convention said that more than a m illion persons were jobless and about S,60®,000 w orking p art tim e. B ut there sesmos no wap to count the hun- dreds of thousands or millions—■- who havee no Jobs. The best available survey of national conditions appears to be the monthly Industrial Employ ment Inform ation B ulletin of the Department o f Labor which, issu ed under the auspices of a ‘‘pros perity adm inistration,” oertalnly dobs not e rr on the aide of pess- lsmtam. There follows the story of employment and unemploy ment this year as traced by-com pilation and analysis of, these sur veys to date. January, l i l t , showed more employment than December, but a slum p w m re p o rte * to a few m ajor industries and bad weath er retarded nearly a ll outdoor work, for which beter conditions were expected. Industry "m arked time** In February; very few m ajor indus tries Increased their forces and several- cut them down. Good weather waa expected to alleviate the ontdoor situation ain March. B ut March brought “ Inclement weather - to practically every state,** and tad employment In crease did not reach expectations, although a general improvement Fas noted. Several* m ajor Indus tries increased forces and the all- around outlook was described as "very bright.” A p ril showed a “slight upward trend” In several big industries and butdoor activities increased, but the employment map in the flood territo ry showed l a r g e blank spaces and “a great many men and woman” were Idle , in the lower Mississippi valley. In June slight curtailments were again noted in major Indus tries. mostly because of seasonal condition®. "Some Idleness throughout the country” was re- ported for July, w ith more cur tailments of working forces and the usual midsummer slackening of business. August, however, found em- ployment at a higher level iu a number of leading Industries, al though the comparatively large volume of Joblessness continued. Employment was “ well sustain ed” in September, the employ- ment service found, and except for the increased general surplus of building trades workers, “ bas ic Industries on the whole” show ed Increases of workers over A u gust.

"W hat’s' wrong hack there? Keep that foghorn goln* someone," it was the mate’s voice, and Brady motioned one of the men to turn the handle of the square shaped box that most wind-jammers carry. As the hoarse notes of the horn pierced the fog, he called to one of the sailors. Holding him by the coat he whispered: “Get Bronson to come for*ard.

"Okay/* shouted Ltipey. and laughed as the crew, now gathered around the mainmast, yelled their opinions of him.

' Hurrl- cane* heard her, and seeing Limey In a heap before the wheel and the deck filled with creeping fig ures, he turned on her, shouting: “Take the wheel, P o lly" Like a cat Polly darted up the steps to the wheel, Hurricane fol lowing her with the black muzzle of his automatic threatening those hardy enough to follow. He stopped on the top step, with the angle of the railing protecting his front and the mast his back. He cast a backward look at Polly. 8he Was more or less la the open, but there was no trace of fear In her face, she was smiling, aad her hair, always unruly, hung In heavy billows over her" shoulders. “Damn them," Raley mattered, “I don't think, they've got the nerve to rush now that we know they're coming.” ”1 think they will,” whispered Polly. “It ’s Brady that’s doin’ it, an' I think he’s got a gun.” A thrill ran through her body as Haley raised his gun and fired at a shadow that ventured out from behind the fore-mast A muffled squeal told them that the shot had not gone tar astray, and Hurricane grinned back at Polly through tightened lips as ha told her. / “We’re all right as long as there's any shots in the gun but I ain't gqt a radii, an* whan the eleven shots in here are gone, we ain’t got a chance, they’ll rush us an’ I ’ve only got one arm.

Ain’t you forgiven me just a llttto bit?” Hurricane turned to answer her, but out of the corner of fata eye he saw several black shadows leave tfao railing and come tearing to-' wards him. The automatic cracked .twice, and one of the men took a bullet la his lag. The rest stopped and broke tor cover.
