COBB NUMBER OF JOB' HOLDERS INCREASES. The Coolidge economy program set out to accomplish its end in numerous ways. There were certain spectacular features, such as the fering of prize's for practical ideas for achieving economy. There was the cutting down the supply of hand towels and drinking cups and envelopes In the office of the President. There was, if memory serves, a plan for conserving ink erasers to the very last rub.

Yet these important though small details did hot blind the eyes of official Washington to the fact that in the end the best results were to be had in cutting down the Federal job-holders. It Is therefore somewhat disconcerting, although not surprising, to learn through a Washington dispatch that the army of job-holders, In stead of decreasing, is actually on the upgrade. On June 30, 1923, two months before Mr. Coolidge took office, there was 548,531 Federal jobholders. In December, 1923, they had been reduced to 544,671.

But on February 28, 1925, the number had once more risen to 556,005. Under the circumstances, there is something almost prophetic in the statement of Senator Smioot of Utah when in a moment of abandon he No Repetitions for Hubby A few months ago an English illustrated paper published a joke which struck me as having merit. When I repeated It In company of a gentleman who is supposed to know nearly all the jokes in the world he told me that In slightly different guise the same wheeze was current on the Pacific coast twenty years ago. He may or may not have been wrong. In any event, I like the British version.

A couple from the country haye come up to London for a week's visit. They have seats In the first gallery for a performance of a society drama. To them the play proves exceedingly tiresome. In one of the intervals the husband, stifling a yawn, turns to his deeply bored wife: "What comes next?" he asfts. She consults the program.

Inc.) forgot to apeak''like a politician and declared that: There heVer has been a year since that time (the year of the billion- dollar Congress) when the cost of government has not increased, and It will continue to increase, I do not care what party is in power. For such gifts of prophecy, however, the Senator from Utah deserves no particular praise. It is safe as prophesying thatv the sun will rise tomorrow or that Christmas day will fall on December Baltimore Evening Sun.

BIBLICAL, SCENE IS RE- ENACTED WHEAT ON F. Hunt, 'pastor of the local M. B. ohuVch, 'happened a rather painful accident Tuesday afternoon when the car-he driv-. Tng turned, Into fc, ditch just north of toyvft and pinned him beneath.

According to Mr, Hunt he suffered a few irioments Of blind sickness and temporarily lost control of car. Fortunately no. serious injuries were sustained and damage done to the car. Soon after the acciddnt occurred two strangers stopped their car at the scene of the wreck and discovered the preacher pinned beneath and doing considerable groaning. While the preacher, was requesting their help, they discussed the matter between themselves and decided they might avoid trouble by leaving things just as they found them.

So, like the Priest and Levlte of Biblical days, they continued their journey. A few minutes later Qfeorge Qiil- man discovered the plight of the preacher and like a good samarltan, lifted the car, released the preacher from his confinement was" becoming rather painful. The Priest and the Levite apparently repented of their sinful neglect, and upon reaching the Ttllerson W. F.
