VACATION JOBS FOR
 COLLEGE STUDENTS
Winchester Arms Company Can Accommodate All Applicants

College students who hitherto have
 Ere cialized during vacation time ir
 waiting on the table at summer re-
 sarts, helping in Chineso laundries,
 pr rtsking the taint of professionalism
 by playing summer baseball, will have
 a chance this summer to work in
 arms and ammunition plants Col . lege men can have jobs with the Win
 chester Repeating Arms Co.,, at New
 Haven either for vacation time or
 with view to permanent employ
 ment after graduation. Employment
 bureaus in the various institutions, it
 was learned Saturday, have received
 communications from the Winchester
 Co.,, calling attention to the chances
 of earning money in its plant in vac''-
 ton time.
 The arms and munitions factories
 are all working on fuli-tin.e and oft
 en overtime, and have difficulty in se-
 curing all the Intelligent labor they
 need. They are especially anxious to get young college men, not neces- sari1y men with technical education, for the minor shop jobs, paying SIS md $20 a week, with view to de- veloping them for more responsible positions.
 It was pointed out that this eager ness to secure intelligent labor was shown by the proffers made to most pf the eighy-two mids.ipmen who were dropt from Annapolis recently tor failure to pass their examinations. Practically every one of these young 1 men it was said, was offered chance to learn the arms and amm unitions l manufacturing business. According | 'to the Daily Princetonian, too the l bureau of self-help at Princeton uni 1 versity has been notified by the Win chester Go. that 1t will be glad to 1 nfeord occupation for Princeton men l who want to learn industrial business or shop management from the bottom up.
 Fear of Work Only Barrier.
 "Any student who is not afraid of hard work and who wants to earn his keep and a little over, think we can find place for" said representative bf one house, who asked that his name be not used. Such men, of course, must not expect preference unless they demonstrate ability. But there is a wide field open for the ambitious col lege man who is willing to learn the end of our business. l We have never before had so much l business and the indications are that 1 the demand will continue for a long i! time to come"
 letter from the Winchester Arms Co. to the Princeton bureau of self help fairly outlines the possibilities of | This kind of work. It reads:
 Men who come with this company would probably be placed at once as operators of machine tools in the gunshops, being given, Of course such instruction as might be necessary Their compensation would be on the same footing as that of regular work 5 mems payment being upon the piece rate plan. Our experience has shown that college men require only short period in which to adjust themselves to the conditions under which they : Ire placed, and that they are then able to earn from SIS to $20 per ! week. To men who desire to gain l experience along manufa curing and general engineering lir es or with ref eSence to the mechanical processes \ or with reference to shop management, this opening presents exceptional opportunities.
 It Is a policy of this company to watch carefully the progress of the l college men in the shop, and to give them every opportunity for broaden l ing their experience and for advance l ment This is particularly the case In as much as this company is un- dertaking considerable reorGanizing in It's shop in connection with the meth od of scientific management It
