•MANCHESTER WANTS
MINERS'TO STAY HOME
MANCHESTER.—Co-operation by
government agencies is needed if any
tning more is o be done toward solv
:ng'-the unemployment problem, in the
opinion of the city of Manchester cor
poration.
The city fathers -decided to make
this reply to Premier Stanley Bald
win’s personal appeal to 150,000 em
ployers o provide work for idle
miners.
The corporation asserted that the'
ministry of labor -repeatedly had’
balked the corporation«,in its efforts
to find work for unemployed by*turn
ing down- schemes and refusing to
make grants.
- Some members of the corporation
believed the government was honest
ly rying to do something, but they
thought the scheme of r f ding miners
to the Western Canadian harvest
fields was a mistake. I
Putting Down a Critic.
Billy Arnold, the jazz orchestra
leader, said on disembarking -from the
Majestic: !
"Young folks nowadays won't stand
for criticism. I t6ld a' young-girl one
night that her dance frock Was im
modest, and what do you think she
«g?d ?
“She said* I was just like her old
maid aunt who used to call to her
servant every morning:
“ ‘Has Rufus’—Rufus was the ca
nary—‘has Rufus had his bath?’
“ ‘Yes, ma’am,’ the servant ■ would
call back< ‘You can-come in now*"” j
Bill Abroad.
Mayor Walker, at a luncheon in1
New York, was talking about his Eu-|
ropean tour. - I
. “Some Americans,” He said? ’“fall1
from grace in Europe; The sudden
change froth dry to wet upsets theth,
and down they go.
“One morning- in Paris I tbok ' a
young American to task as he called
for his third bottle <rfchr ampagne.
‘“It Would be beter, Bill,’ 1 said, ‘if
you didn’t drink.’
“Bill" filled his' glass with the j
rcamy, hissing, ice-cold poison.
“ ‘I don’t drink,’ .he said, ‘except tfflj
excess.’-*,’
The Hngratf ful Mosquito.
National ^Adjutant, -Barton was
discussing the accusation brought
against certain salaried members of
the Americatfc.Legibn housing- com
mittee to the effect that legionaires
had been -grossly overcharged for
European hotel rooms—$7 for a $2
room, and even worse.
*■’ “No,” Mr. Barton ended, “the hous
ing committee aren’t grafters, There-i
, are no mosquitoes on the - housing
I committee.” j
, Then he laughed and added"r
“A mosquito, you know, bites the
| hand that feeds Rub.”
