MAN WHO QUITS JOB
MUST GET ANOTHER
BALTIMORE: Richard B. Clark,
32 years old. has an appointment with
the Maryland compulsory work bu
reau. The bureau has given him 12
days to obtain a job, though so far
as his friends know he doesn’t need
one, having sufficient Income to main
tain himself comfortably, with some
to spare for gasoline for his automo
bile.
Clark was assigned to work at tbe
Tin decorating company’s plant on
Boston street, following his original
summons before the work bureau as
an "idle person.” But he reneged at
the manual work connected with the
job and Saturday found himself in
the western police court to explain
to Justice Beach, with George A. Ma
hone, director of the work bureau, as
prosecutor.
He said he was too weak to work
at heavy jobs, and explained lie had !
Hied half a dozen concerns for light
work without success. Lately he work
ed for a plumbing contracting firm at
Camp Meade. Clark’s friends say he
is fit only for light work, because of
his health. Hit father, the late Rich
ard B. Clark, jr., was well known in
the grain trade.
“SWEET GIRL" TRAPS
SEVERAL SLACKERS
DETROIT: A sweet girl employed
in one of the Detroit draft board of
fices caught six slackers who were
clever enough to foil the medical ex
aminers. One instance which was re
ported by a member of the local board
concerned a young man who Insisted
he was deaf and who evaded the tests
and tricks of the examiners. As he
left the medical room the smile which
the demure miss flashed at him caus
ed him to forget war and home and
country.
"Were you accepted?” the young
woman asked in a very low tone.
‘Naw, they turned me down, and
gee, I wanted to—
“Don’t worry, my friend, we made
a little mistake and you’re accepted,”
said a drawling voice behind the
slacker.
The youth whirled and faced the
medical officer. He blushed and stam
mered, but finally began to grin.
“That’s No. 6 for me,” said the girl
in the case.
*800 KIRK IX THKATRK
CEttTRALIA: The Central The
atre was damaged to the amount of
about $800 early yesterday morning
by a fire of unknown origin that start
ed in a room back of the box office.
J Effective work by the fire department
confined the loss to the front of the
structure. S. H. Bloomer, manager of
the theatre, states that he carried no
insurance.
While a suit was tried a woman in
the case persisted in commenting
loudly on each answer given by a wit
ness. The judge repeatedly directed
her to keep quiet, but she went on
audibly contradicting the witness.
Finally the judge said:
“Madam, the court demands that
you remain quiet. Unless you do so,
you will be held In contempt.”
Giving the judge a savage look, the
woman turned to her attorney and
inquired: “Who is that old guy that’s
buttin’ in all the time?”—St. Louis
Star.
MONEY, NOT ALLIANCE,
IS WANTED BY RUSSIA
PETROGRAD: M. Lunacharsky,
minister of education, expresses his
opinion that while an alliance with
America is impossible, Russia is will
ing to accept American assistance in
the form of loans and arms in view
of the fact that Germany is a common
enemy.
LICENSES NEEDED
EOlt HEN OPERAS
WASHINGTON: Licenses under the
trading with the enemy act must be
obtained from the federal trade com
mission for the production in this
country of any operas protected by
German copyrights. This became
known today when the federal trade
commission announced that licenses
had been issued to the San Carlo
Opera company, a Chicago corpora
tion, to produce two Italian operas.
“The Jewels of the Madonna" and
“The Secret of Suzanne,” which are
protected by German copyrights own
ed by Josef Weinberger, of Leipzig.
Germany.
(JET NO ALLOTMENTS
PORTLAND: Investigation has
been started by Oregon soldiers to
learn why allotments to their depend
ents have not been paid. Compulsory
allotment papers were all signed be
fore the regiment sailed. Pitiful let
ters are received in every mall from
wives and other relatives asking why
allotments have not been made. Rela
tives say they have appealed to the
war department for aid, but have
been Informed that no record of allot
ment has been received. The allot
ment money has been deducted from
the pay of the soldiers every month
since November last.
BETTER NEWS SOON
If the Germans continue their of
fensive much longer the police depart
ment will have to increase its mem
bership. as the nerves of our citizens
are becoming badly worn by the con
tinued bad news. Notwithstanding
that every American-believes that we
are going to win this war late dis
patches are depressing. However, the
tide will turn in our favor within the
next few days. An Englishman and an
American always tight better when
they are against big odds.
BOOSTS KITCHEN GARDENS
OLYMPIA: Mrs. J. F. Manning of
Everett, vice chairman of the food
production committee of the national
council of defense, and Mrs. Ruth Mc
Kee of the state council of defense,

ture Benson yesterday to announce a

throughout the state. An effort will
be made to have all school children
