News Briefs By The Associated . Press Fulfilling his call Roving evangelist Robert Hancock carries his cross on wheels along U.S. Route 190 in Covington, La. while his dog, Fluffy, coasts along. Hancock said he listened to Jesus, not imitated him, and left Los Angeles on his second 12,000-mile journey. Preate, Reno discuss his FBI investigation HARRISBURG Pennsylvania Attorney General Ernie Prea te Jr. has spoken to U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno regarding reports that he is under investigation by the FBI for questionable cam paign contributions. Preate told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he mentioned the reports to Reno at a recent meeting of the American Bar Association after he had contacted Deputy U.S. Attorney Philip Heymann about the matter. "Phil had already told her," Preate said, referring to Reno. "She brought it up to me. She said, It's awful what's happening to you.' That tells you a lot. She said, Phil told me the awful thing that happened to you." Preate has come under fire in recent months following the Pennsylvania Crime Commission's report that an informant told them Preate courted contributions from illegal video poker operators while he was Lackawanna County district attorney in the 1980 s. Subse quently, several newspapers have reported that the FBI launched its own investigation. Both the U.S. Attorney in Harrisburg and the FBI have refused to confirm or deny the reports. Sharon Steel to give workers back pay SHARON, Pa. The United Steelworkers of America and Sha ron Steel Corp. have reached an agreement that will provide more than $1 million in back pay to about 2,400 workers who lost their jobs when Sharon stopped operating. Funds for the back pay will come from the sale of about 90,500 tons of steel that has been held at Sharon's plant in Farrell since the plant was shut down Nov. 30, the union said yesterday. At the time of the shutdown, Sharon had not paid any wages for four to six weeks to workers at its plants in Farrell, Monessen and Brainard, the union said. The company is in its second reorganization under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy laws. It declared its western Pennsylvania operations permanently closed on July 20. Jefferson letters recovered for library WASHINGTON D.C. The National Agricultural Library got a shock recently when letters by Thomas Jefferson turned up among hundreds of thousands of documents that the library staff doesn't have time to examine. The 11 pieces of correspondence, from 1786 to 1819, were tucked away and forgotten among the papers of a long-retired Agriculture Department historian. The only reason they came to light a month ago: An Agriculture Department researcher came across them while combing files for other material. In the Jefferson correspondence, an English lord praised the nation's third president for his iron moldboard used on farm plows. Clinton, Bush counterparts to tie knot WASHINGTON D.C. James Carville, chief political strategist for President Clinton's election campaign, and Mary Matalin, his counterpart in the Bush campaign, have finally set a wedding date Thanksgiving. Matalin announced the date Tuesday to the audience of her show "Equal Time" on the CNBC cable channel. She joked that the date was appropriate because "it's a day to give thanks James finally made the commitment." They are collaborating on a book about the 1992 presidential campaign. Bush wary of Clinton's action in Bosnia ZURICH, Switzerland Former President Bush says he couldn't bring himself to commit American soldiers to Bosnia because his generals told him it would take at least 250,000 just to keep war ring sides apart. Bush said in a speech Tuesday to Swiss businessmen that he didn't want to criticize President Clinton for his handling of former Yugoslavia and that he didn't think he would act differently if he were still in the White House. But, in an apparent reference to proposed NATO air strikes against Serbs, Bush said, "For force to be credible, it's got to be threat ened only when you are prepared to use it." "The use of force is a tough call," Bush said. "When I was still president, I asked our military, the same ones that in my view did it right in Desert Storm, `What's it going to take in a way of American commitment of troops or air power, to get the job done?' Former Contras release all hostages CAULATU, Nicaragua Former Contra rebels reportedly freed their last five hostages yesterday, a radio report said. Rival Sandinistas released 10 captives, but still held Vice President Virgilio Godoy and four others. The releases spurred hopes of an end to the six-day crisis, which highlighted deep divisions remaining three years after the end of the country's civil war. Early yesterday, the Contras released 11 other captives as the dual hostage crisis moved sporadically toward being resolved. Leftist Sandinistas, who are holding hostages in Managua, had said they would release them once the rightists in this northern village freed theirs. Beetle to make comeback in Brazil SAO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, Brazil The Beetle is back. Seven years after it was taken off the market in South America's largest nation, the classic small car is once again rolling off the assembly line at Volkswagen's Brazilian subsidiary. With the characteristic rat-tat-tat of its air-cooled engine, the first of the new Beetles debuted Monday at the plant in this industrial suburb of Sao Paulo. President Itamar Franco and members of his Cabinet were present at the relaunching of the car. For some, the revival of the bug is a new milestone for Brazil's auto industry. Others see it as nothing more than a nostalgic return to the past that won't last long. The "Fusca," the car's nickname in Portuguese, was first pro duced in Brazil in 1959 and quickly became the symbol of the country's rapid industrialization.

So it's not always easy to know when something is troubling them. Certain behaviors, however, can be signs. For instance, a change in eating and sleeping habits, excessive quietness, isolation, sadness, irritability, or low self- esteem can be tell-tale signs of more serious prob- lems.
