About half as many women as ; . men were placed, and of the -185,431 • who applied for work less than 16.000 > failed to obtain it. Jobs were in ?dozens, of occupations, including agri- |V culture, building and construction, ". clerical, domestic and personal service, • hotel and restaurant work, wholesale •'and trades and common labor. Thir- " >teen employment bureaus are maintained by the departmen- of labor in various cities of the state Enterprising archeologlsts have an-* covered a number of facts concerning the lives of neolithic man but none more important than that recently unearthed in Waterford township In Fulton county, near Lewistown, III. A gigantic mound was opened there and the skeletons of more than seventy mound builders found in one tomb. The mound, located on a bluff overlooking the Illinois river, is crescentshaped and about five hundred feet in length. The height varies from six to twelve feet, but a few years age It was about thirty-five feet high. Constant cultivation of the farm on which the mound is located accounts for the great reduction in height. Among the notables present at the opening of the mound was Dr. Warren K. Moorehead of Andover, Massachusetts, who is also one of the leading archeologists of the University of Illinois. Doctor Mo&ehead spent sev eral days studying the excavated material. President Kinley of the University of Illinois also spent several days at the mound and declared the find of great scientific value. Chicago archeologlsts spent several days taking ' photographs and studying the skeletons. The Smithsonian institute sent its representatives to the scene. The skeletons are in fair state of preservation and reveal some interesting facts concerning these early people. Many of them were giants in stature, while some .of the skeletons are of the smallest type of humnnity. Several skulls were fitted with plates of false teeth, which were app^eBj^j eMftrijr tile pui cut from the Under eaclt skel Bids for the construction of several stretches of hard roads, together with bridges and grading sections, were received by the state "department of public works and buildings.

An official request to members of Illinois General Assembly "not to go too far or stay away too long, for there may be a special session of the general assembly in December to consider a new primary election law" was sent out recently. The request was particularly designed for those members of the legislature who are planning trips to Washington when congress convene? in December, and incidentally to attend the annual gathering of the Rivers and Lakes congress. The special session that will be called by Governor Small if necessary, came closer recently following proceedings in the Circuit court of Lee county where a case attacking the validity of the primary law is pending. It was said that the governor Is considering a session for December, while some of his supporters are said to favor a later date. "Illinois will have a primary law if it is within my power to create It," Governor Small declared in Chicago recently. Seven thousand pieces of literature on Springfield, including Lincoln booklets, and two thousand medals given by the Illinois Watch company of this city, were distributed from the Springfield Chamber of Commerce booth at the International Travel Exposition held at the Sherman hotel in Chicago recently. Springfield was the only city in the Middle West, with the exception of Chicago and Hot Springs, having a booth at the exposition. England, Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and other Europ(%ii countries, Mexico, Canada, and many cities and states in the United States had booths and exhibits. Springfield's booth was wholly a Lincoln booth, the chamber of commerce also representing the Line Jin Centennial association. A large bust of Lincoln wa--ine centerpiece of the 'c^u^xhMVU. Twelve thousand visitors day. Pertinent articles on national defense by President David Kinley of the University of Illinois, Colonel Merry, R. O. T. C. commandant, and W. F. Lodge, president of the University Dads' association, are the salient features of a souvenir publication presented to university students this week. The publication was arranged for by Illinois reserve officers as one means to direct attention to the value of military training given at the university. The individual independence and" separate promotion of different phases of national defense has operated against the public undei ^f traini: iai the G, M. T. C., organi/.ations have worked toward the same goal but apparently without an attempt to co-ordinate and interlock their efforts. Illinois Reserve 'officers1 have taken the Initial step just outlined, with the thought that ultimately the expressed opinion of these various agencies could be brought together, while the outlook of all those interested in the national security of the country was enlarged and unified. It is particularly fitting that reserve officers use the University of Illinois as a model institution inasmuch as It has the largest R. O. T. C. uplt in the country and is the one that General Pershing called the best. The R. O. T. C. project was fathered by a former president. Dr. Ednlund Janes James, for his Ideas and recommendations were Incorporated In- the national defense act passed by congress In 1916. President Kinley has firmly supported the plan which has grown with the university and kept pace with it. The Great Lakes state has great reason to be proud of their state university, the administration and the attitude of the students towards1 military training.

At least, it^ w<juld be for Blanche Felton, but Raymond Felton, her husband, was not quite so sure about the matter, although he never breathed his doubts to a soul. Their new residence on Allan street was all finished and they were to move In before the New Year. Blanche was escited beyond measure; she would have the finest home of all her friends; for the new house, planned to be a rather moderate home in the beginning, had somehow developed into a rather pretentious structure. That this had been all due to her, Blanche had never stopped to think, and Raymond, easy-going and adoring Blanche as he did, never tol'l her. He wanted her to be happy and this had really been the first thing he had ever seen Blanche eo set upon; up to now she had always been very moderate In her demands. And she deserved a fine home, If ever a woman dldl But Raymond Felton was worried: He confessed to himself that he could not figure out exactly how they were going to keep the place up. He must try and make some extra money in the next year. But how? he asked himself. At home Blanche was singing loudly as she went about her work. It was two days after Christmas and she was packing all the little odds and ends about the house preparatory to the big move. A loud ring at the doorbell brought her downstairs. Outside stood a man and wpman, strangers to Blanche. They stated their mission as soon as they entered. Somebody had told them about the • new house on Allan street and they wondered if there was a possibility that It was for sale. Mr. Gray was coming to town as manager of the big Delmar company, and as they had quite a family they needed a large home and were willing to pay a good price. They had 5 MISCELLANEOUS TUNE--and keep your piano tufted,- Tuning makes your piano a musical instrument. Phone 274-J or write 3. H.

Election and installation of officers and interesting talks by district officers from Chicago were interspersed with songs and music by an orchestra jfrom Greenwood and Woodstock. It is hoped that an organization can soon be effected among McHenry young people. Remember the bazaar and chicken dinner next Saturday.

Demand That a Certain Bill Be Paid Immediately. already looked all over town and could find nothing to suit their needs. Blanche told them that the hoyse was not for sale; that they had built It for their own home, and that there was nothing like it in town. She talked at such length and aroused their Interest in so many of its new features that Mr. Gray asked her if he might take a look at the plans. Flattered by his interest, Blanche said she would get them. She remembered that Raymond had put tliem away a few days ago, saying that he was putting them with all the papers. Blanche guessed that he had put them somewhere in his big desk and she was right in this surmise. They were enclosed in a huge envelope with a host of other papers, some of which fell out when she drew out the plans. Stooping to pick up the scattered papers, she looked hastily at the first one and her face flushed as she read. It was an almost rude demand that a certain bill for material be paid Immediately. Picking up another one, she was shocked to see that it was almost of the same type. The third paper was in Raymond's writing, and though Blanche knew little of business she could see that he had been trying .to figure out ways and means to make his income do the impossible. Then understanding dawned upon her, and with it an added rush of love for the man who had been willing to do so much for her. "Poor, dear ItnymQnd," she whispered,, "how selfish and blind I have been." Mr. Gray was charmed with the plans and again asked if there was any chance that they might change their mind. Thig time Blanche said she would think it over and asked them to call that evening and tall; •with her husband. Before their coming, however, Blanche herself talked it over with Raymond and told him that she was not so keen aJ>out th° house after all--that it would entail too much work and too much worry-- and that Instead they would fix up their own cozy little place a bit and t>*iy some of the things they both wanted. 9 Raymond entered Into the New Yonr minus the load of worry he had been carrying and Blanche and he wo-e very happy in iheir old hoinr, woman-like, she wasjuoud of tlu> uc :.t prollt they had mtfdf In eellln* th;> new houre over had tol: n cach pains. / v.

Jed Harris' Colorful drama of the cabarets is now in its fourth month at the Dearborn Street playhouse and in the matter of average weekly receipts, Chicago heads the list Of cities where the play is now on view, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Sap Francisco, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Sofia. London gave it thirty-five profitable weeks last season. The world-wide success of "Broadway* has been variously ascribed to its unique blending of comedy and tragedy its splendid Stage direction and its novelty of theme and atmosphere but with the rank and file of playgoers its absorbing and well-acted story is probably the strongest factor in its success. How Roy Lane, an 1 ; * ' " . egotistical but likeable young "hoofer" in a New York night club makes love to Billie Moore, a beginner in the chorus, and rescues her from the. clutches of a vicious gang leader, is told in colorful, swift-moving scenes in, which gay humor is interspersed with grim tragedy. All the action takes place "back-stage" in the club and there is a bevy of sprightly chorus girls to add realistic musical comedy atmosphere. A jazz orchestra a lad lends pep to the performance. Despite the heavy attendance at the Selwyn Theatre, good seats can be bought at "the boxoffice for any performance, including the regular matinees on Thursday and Saturday and the special Christmas matinee on Monday, Dec. 26. Christmas shoppers who plan to visit Chicago can order seats by mail or obtain additional information by telephoning the, boxoffice, Central 3404.
