FOR UNEMPLOYED
Efforts are bciinr mndo to linvo tho
Mcdford office of tho Federal Em
ployment service kept open for the
next two months nt tlio expense of
the county, bv which time tho new
contfrcss will have met and mndo an
appropriation fo continue the 7A0 odd
federal employment bureaus throimtu
out the eountrv. Alrcndv the matter
has been broached t the count?
court. If this financial aid is not
forthcoming tho office must close
next 'Saturday. : ; . ,
Milton S. Junes, the local superin
tendent of the office, offers to donate
his services free to keep the office
open, and the only expense tho coun
ty is usked to provide is for office
rent and office incidental expenses.
Already similar arrangements have
been made to keep open the local oC-
fices in several counties of Orccnn.
. 'Uv olosimr the office here and
keeping it closed for two months, it
would tnk mc a long time lo eet
thincs to running" nirnin. and in the
meantime many employers and men
seekine eniplovment would be the suf
ferers," said Superintendent Janes
today.
"ft'ork was iust becinnim; to open
up in earnest when the news came
that tho office would have to close
because conercss bad adjourned
without m.'ikinir an appropriation for
tlio maintenance of the federal em
ployment service. I had more calls
fromN employers foremen last week
nlono. than for n month imst. and,
more men were placed in employment
last wek than for weeks vast, v By
keeping the office open 1 can give a
better service and not lose communi
cations between employers and em
ployes, and general touch of the em
ployment situation in this big terri
tory, than if the office was closed
for two months and then reopened."
Superintendent Janes is doinsr a
land office business helping soldiers,
sailors and marines to file claims for
the ' $60. bonus recently allowed bv
congress, and in inakiug papers of
their discharge papers. He has bo
assistants, not even one, and the cler

PARIS, Mar. 18. Top-hats and
morning coats are commonly worn nt
tho peace conference. Altho top-hats
mado their reappearance In Paris on
Armistice Day, it was not until Presi
dent Wtlfon arrived that they really
began to flourish. The president was
never seen on the Btreet without his.
According to French observers, he
was one ot the most carefully dressed
of all tho delegates. "One has said
that he never saw a frock-coat sit so
well on a man as on Mr. Wilson.
To M. Hymnns, one of the Bolgtnn
delegates, is awarded the palm of be
ing the Beau Brummel of the confer
ence. A newspaper writer says of
him: "It is meant as a compliment to
him to say that he has the appear
ance of not having stepped out of a
bandbox, but out of a tailor's win
dow. The crease in his trousers Is
immaculate; his morning coat Is re
markable for its beautiful tapering,
and his collar and tie are in perfect
taste." .
The morning coat Is' worn even by
Emir Felsal, son of the king ot the
Hedjai. along with his white turban
embroidered with gold. "
; William Marttn, master of cere
monies at the conference, wears his
morning coat unbuttoned. So does
Premier. Lloyd George, but Bonur
Law puts the buttons ot his to their
intended use.
The British foreign minister", Mr.
Balfour, refuses to pin1 the top-hat
procession. He clings to his soft one,
thereby, in French eyes, committing
a heresy.' :'.;

We take great pleasure in announcing to the public the coming of Harry Triantafeles, master mechanic at Rockwell
Field, as he is considered to be one of the very best motor mechanics there, and worked seven years for the Continental

Soon as these men arrive we will be prepared to turn out work promptly. v '
We will also have special mechanics for special jobs. Two trouble shooters will work on our front floor. : '
On overhauling jobs our mechanics are not allowed to leave that particular job Until completed. . ' ' V
Our mechanics are not allowed to talk while on duty except on matters pertaining to their work. They must give value' received. , '.
'We have no cars to sell, therefore we are able to give our undivided attention to our mechanical work.1 ; : ' ':-",V.
