UNEMPLOYED FEW LOOKING FOR SNAPS Probation Officer Elizabeth Candler, who has made an especial offer to unemployed men to assist in getting jobs for them, has almost come to the conclusion that the few men in Richmond who are not now employed are lacking employment for the reason that they refuse to work at a "man's job," she said today. "Several men applied here for work last evening and when I told them that I had a job for them at the Rumely company, they said that was too hard work for them," said Mrs. Candler this morning. "They were looking for something soft and that is the reason they were out of work."

Plckell. The ever-Increasing number of children who enter high school and the additional enrollment expected as a result of the coming vocational survey to be made here. Principal Pickell believes, will prevent a decrease in the present enrollment. He said today that the new building including Garfield school will house with its completion about 1.000 school children and its construction will eliminate the ninth grade. But that by the time the building is finished, the enrollment in the high school will be so large that a removal of some of the students to the new addition will still leave the present enrollment of nearly 800 students in the high school. SCHOOLS WILL KEEP OTHER LOTS IN MIND Owners and tenants of the three properties on South Twelfth street, which if purchased by the Richmond Bchool board with the two properties already bought and two. other lots which are now the subject of negotiations, would make the new school property Include the entire quarter square, need not fear that immediate purchase of their property will be made according to a statement of a member of the board today. Dr. M. F. Johnston, another member of the board, said the purchase may be made at some future time, but did not case to say how serious the board is considering the proposition in the present circumstances. COMMITTEE ACTS ON RATE INCREASE The proposed general increase in freight rates and the particular increase in the rate on hauling coal from the Indiana field, will be considered at a meeting of the railroad committee of the Commercial club Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
