EMPLOYMENT IN JANUARY SHOWS SMALL INCREASE Labor Conditions Better Throughout Country Survey Shows. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Employ- ment throughout the country during January increased 1.4 per cent over the preceding month, according to a report made, public today by the bu- reau of labor statistics while a de- crease of 2.8 per cent was registered in the total amount of wages paid. ‘The figures are based on reports from 4,153 establishments in 43 industries.

LONDON, Feb. 2i—(By The Asso- ciated Press.\—Rumors of possible cabinet charges are discussed prom- inently in the morning newspapers but. nowhere is there definite confir- mation, or indeed, much to suggest that they are more than sepculative gossip. In some quarters, it is asserted that any re-construction of the government in the near future is quite unlikely.

One reason for this is co-operation with the Califor nia Fruit Growers’ Exchange, which is today marketing the citrus fruits of its 10,500 grower members on a Co-operative basis. ‘This organization is unique in that it accumulates no profits and declares no dividends on the business transacted, its business all being conducted on a co-operative plan at absolute cost. The grower gets all the money his fruit brings less only the cost of selling. The functioning of the Exchange in distributing the growers’ crops 1s n.many respects similar to the United States postoffice. Each acts as a clearing house providing facill- ties for gathering and distributing: its products, letters and mail matter in one case, and oranges and lemons in the other. Representatives of the central or- ganization were first placed in the principal cities of the United States and Canada to facilitate the handling of the growers’ oranges and lemons, but it was later found to be more body . with representatives on the satisfactory to deal with a‘ central ground than to deal with scattered individual shippers, The Exchange at the present time is composed of 203 separate associa- tions of shippers. The Exchange has its own representatives in 87 mar- kets of the country. nite denials that he is likely to be invited into the cabinet. Lord Robert's position regarding the league which came into prominence in the recent debate in the house of com- mons, is exp!ained by himself in an interview published in the Westmini: ter Gazette. The statement amounts to a plea that Lord Robert as a conservative, could not vote against the: govern- ment in what was practically a vote of confidence. He regretted that as a result of Monday’s division, his po- sition would be construed, although erroneous!y, as against intervention y the league in the reparations uestion. “The government’s supporters were Practically compelled to vote against the policy to which they were not op- posed,” Lord Robert is quoted as say- ing. ‘As we had no reason to withdraw our confidence in the government were unable to uphold a vote of cen- sure against i SN A OS WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Favor- able report was ordered. by the senate public lands committee to- day on the compromise bill worked out by a sub-committee headed by Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis- consin, to deal with the claims of Pueblo Indians and white settlers to Indian lands in New Mexico.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20—The terror of the New York police force, who throws the fear of the law in even the most hardened criminals, is just a plain, black cat. “Nig” is his name and before him murderers break down, thieves con- fess and crooks bare thelr souls. None seems to be able to stand up un- der his penetrating gaze. Last Christmas a salesman was beaten and robbed by a hack driver. The police wery making little head- way with the case until they picked up a suspect a few days ago. He denied any connection with the crime and pleaded With such sincerity that the authorities were about to let him gO. Just then Nig came on the scene. ‘The superstition ‘of the ill omen of a black cat walking in front of him, broke the spirit of the prisoner. His reserve fell away like a mask. Tremb- ling he cried: “Take dat cat away, boss, please! Ah’ll tell you de truff, deed ah will. Ah knows ah’s rolled a deuce. Jes’ looks dem eyes dere.” Nig’s eyes-had turned the trick where a regular third degree had failed. A man had slashed his wife's tace with a razor. The police caught him but he denied everything. They grilled him and quizzed him. But he was firm. Nig was watching the performance from atop of a piano. As the pris- oner was being taken from the room, the cat jumped down and crossed his path. The man stopped short in his tracks, and gasped. A detective quick to grasp the opportunity turned out the ght. Darkness..___. except for the two green glows which moved about ever so slowly. With a moan the prisoner sank to the floor. “Turn on them Hghts, mistah,” he moaned. “Ah done it! Ah admits it —only take dat cat outa heah.” It was a triumph of a silent third degree. But such superstitions aren't con- fined to one class of prisoners. Not long a go a handsome young woman was arrested for shoplifting. It was apparent that she was no ordinary thief. She answered all questions with great self-control. As she was about ‘to be led away Nig passed by. All self-possession vanished. The woman broke down hysterically and confessed. - Nig blinked wistfully and sneaked iLL CONFESS )# Boss BUT HELICOPTER RECORD SET DAYTON, Ohio, record was set by the DeBothezaat helicopter, being perfected by the air service at McCook field here, when it remained in the air for two minutes and 45 seconds in flight early today.
