'Army Unemployed'in England Decreases. Says Labor Official
Annual Reduction of Jobless Caused by Improvement of Industry
London, May 21—England's "army of unemployed" be de-mobilized in October, are out of work now as were jobsless at the peak of the unemployment crisis in 1921—when over 2,000,000 were unemployed, compared to about
Of course, 1,000,000 unemployed is still a fair-sized "army." But every week the official statistics from the ministry of labor show a smaller number. Ten, twenty, thirty thousand a week, the ranks are being reduced. There may be some setbacks, but apparently it will be sure.
"The only explanation we can give," said a high official of the labor department, "is a gradual improvement in all business conditions—a slow, a very slow, but a steady, healthy process. There is no "boom" about it. It really seems that after so long a time general industry—spreading in a very broad way—is beginning to get on a solid, substantial foundation. The future of industrial development, not of present conditions, bus of new conditions of steady, normal trade, commercial and industrial relations."
Unemployment in England began to get worse and worse after post-world-war demobilization. Industry was unable to readjust itself to peace production quickly enough to give Jobs to the men who had been in the war. European politics augment world finance entangled, world trade disrupted. So 1,600,000 men and women wanted work in England—and then 1,500,000—and then 2,000,000 during the coal strike in May and June, 1921. With that strike settled, the unemployment settled back to about 1,500,000—the figure it had变大了. As the war continued, the figure it continued to average for a long time after—until the present wave of improvement began to appear.

Jennie Comments on "Fore Boy" Makeup
he was skimming on the curb in frist of Spooner talking to her, but no answer. Truly she was overwhelmed, for, just coming from the country, she had never before seen such an appassion as this strange locking creature which confronted her.
With utter bewilderment her soft brown eyes took in everything; the slick shiny hair parted almost in the middle, the slight growth of Russian foliage on the upper lip, the careened nink bow tie, the brown plaid sweater stuffed into a pair of golf bag knickers which rivalled only the stockings in number of skin-colored self-satisfied smile which plainly said, "If I aint hot, Nero never saw a bonfire."
The expression of dumb wonder slowly faded from her face, and finally she voiced her opinion. Closing her eyes she laid back her long neck and pulled back her head to her mouth and emitted a long, lingering "Heeeeeee-Hwwwww."
