England Offers Good Jobs
To American Ad Writers
LONDON, Apr. 6.—Notwithstand
ing the fact that there are more
than 1,000,000 unemployed in Eng
land, there are jobs paying $10,000
a year going begging, Sir Charles
Higham, London’s best known publi
city man, said recently in an address
to the British Association of Display
Men.
“People have come to me," Sir
Charles declared, “crying out for men
capable of earning $10,000 annually,
and I have said in reply: ‘You will
have to go to the United States to
find them’.”
Sir Charles explained that he had
offered the suggestion to search
abroad for candidates, because 'here
were so few young men here who
had prep ied themselves for the hor
i on of jobs paying $10,000 a year.

Alter frequently being robbed, the
Rogers chain of stores in Atlanta
published a half-page notice to burg
lars telling where the keys to the
stores might be found and requesting
them to be reasonable in their selec
tion of goods. The notice stated
that no interference by the police
was likely, but an offer of $1,000 for
each burglar caught was made to
any night watchman who might have
little time to spare. The utter in
ability of officials to check the wide
spread increase of crime indicates a
serious breakdown of our police sys
tem.
Tan Colored Hose Match

RIO DE JANEIRO, Apr. 6— T h e
American fad of beige-colored hose
for women has hit Rio with amusing
results, due to the fact that the new
style became popular here at the
height of the bathing season.
The beach-tanned arms and the
beige stockinged ankles are often so
nearly alike in color that it was
frequently thought hoseless days had
arrived.
