J THE | DAILY BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1918. a ---- AN AUSTRIAN MUST WORK ARRAIGNED BEFORE MAGES. TRATE FOR VAGRANCY. Two Wayward: Girls Given Sone Good Advice by Magistrate Fare rel Wheh They Pleaded Guilty to a Charge of Vagrancy. "Why dont you go to work?" asked Megisirdte Farrell of a middle-aged man, an Austriafd, who was arrajgned before him on Mon- day morning, charged = with vag- ragey. The Austrian simply smiled, and the efforts of the magistrate to gét him into some "useful odeupation" fad mo result, and the mocused. was sent to jail for a week on remand. The Austrian is the one who weft suddenly insane the other day, and claimed to have been responsible for the war. He said the Kaiser had nothing whatever to do with the war, and that he alone set off the fireworks. As he has recovered from his "spell," the police wanted hing to get busy, realizing the press- ing need for men in these days of war, but no sir! Nicholas, for that is his first name, would not make any promises. He and work evi- dently are strangers to each other. If he is found able to work le will be made to work, for in days of war no person must be idle. The Aus- trian worked one day at the logo- motive works and then threw up the sponge. } i ml Two young women came up in the House Cleaners Let us demonstrate to you the latest Cadillac Electric Cleaner with Automatic .re- volving dust. brush, for catch- ing lint and hairs, It is a wonderful cleaner, time and labor saver.
