A Worthy Service
Aims of the Parent Teachers Association are
so practical, so orach needed and so worthwhile.
, A resume of the work which is being done by
the local group of 200 earnest, capable women,
shows nothing sensational,. nothing which focuses
much attention in their direction—-and yet it is
the human, personal touch which “ gears’’ the
public school system up to meet the demands of
the pupils and teachers alike—the cooperation need­
ed between home and school which is productive
of the best results.

Government By Law
. 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.

- 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

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

work, for which beter conditions
were expected.

crease did not reach expectations,
although a general improvement

tries increased forces and the all-
around outlook was described as

In June slight curtailments

"Some

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

for the increased general surplus

"W hat’s' wrong hack there?

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.

pierced the fog, he called to one
of the sailors. Holding him by

lowing her with the black muzzle
of his automatic threatening those

angle of the railing protecting his

cast a backward look at Polly.

“Damn them," Raley mattered,
“I don't think, they've got the nerve
to rush now that we know they're

”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

“Never, mind.” answered Polly,

more than kill us, aa' I ain't afraid
to die. They ain’t agotn’ to get

voice grew soft nod tense, “do you

Hurricane turned to answer her,
but out of the corner of fata eye he
saw several black shadows leave
