FEDERAL AID IN FINDING JOBS

its service has been extended to the
women of the country as we'll as the
men, by the organization of a wo-
man and girls division. Women's sec
tions have been opened in New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco
and Washington. Similar arrangements
are soon to be made in Boston, Brook

and Los Angeles A woman officer is

localities where branches for women

is planned soon to have a woman agent
in each of the principal cities of the
country.
The government work in obtaining
employment for men and women is
under the direct mana cement of the
Bureau of immigration, which is a
branch of the Department of Labor.
Secretary of Labor Wilson and Com
missioner of immigration Caminetti,
are its chief proponents. The Depart

IF there is a woman anywhere in
the United States, Alaska or even
n the Philippines who needs a cook
or a maid for general housework and
other work the federal government is
now ready to help her get one. AS a
necessary complement, it is also ready
to help the woman who is looking for
the job.
This is the latest development in the
great employment bureau which the
Department of Labor is now operating.
This bureau faces a great national
problem. The number of unemployed
persons in the United States during re-
cent years has averaged more than two
million. at all seasons. Fully one
fourth of these are women. The men,
however, came in for consideration on
the part of the government because
more often families are dependent up
on them. A service was organized to
bring the man and the job together. Its
success was beyond all expectations.
The thousands of men that had gath
cred in the great cities were distributed
westward where there were farms
with waiting harvests, and mines and
lumber camps.
This government employment bureau
began simply as an agency for farm
hands, and has gradually broadened the

HELP THE HEALTH BOARD

TTELP DR.. Raunick and the Health
Board get rid of the dirt-and
thereby make Harrisburg a fly
less town.
Physicians say that the housefly
carries at least ten and probably a
dozen kinds of disease. Experts who
have made a study of the matter de-
clare the fly to be filthiest insect in the
world, and the deadliest. The fly
feeds on filth and food. When you see
a fly be sure there is either filth or
food nearby-probably both-and
where there is fly near food, don't
eat even though you may be hungry,
for the fiy's feet and wings are covered
with germs as dangerous to your
health and life as so many bombs
dropped from Zeppelins.
The Health Board is doing good
work this week, but it must have the
cooperation of the entire community
if it is to do much toward Kidding the
city Of the pests that annually swarm
over 1t. Don't be mere onlooker.
Take sides for health. Rid your prem
ises Of every spot in which a fly may
deposit eggs. One fly killed now is
worth a thousand killed month
hence and in this instance the old
adage is particularly apt that, IAN
ounce of preventative is worth a pound
of cure."t .

Good Advertising
kansas city star.l

This is the sort of advertising the
Real Estate Boards public utilities
dinner brought to Kansas City. 1t is
an editorial paragraph in the Boston
Christian Science Monitor:
The real estate board of Kansas
City exhibits a pretty clear in
sight into the material needs of all
communities when it places among
the foremost of them cheap light,
cheap transportation, cheap tele-
phones, cheap water. good schools
and Fairgrounds and good housing
conditions. Possession of these is
practically certain to make a small
place or a large place grow.
The only better advertisement that
could come would be from the circula-
tion of the news that these projects
had become realities.

THE RAG-BAG

WEARS ago when the original
makers of bond papers were
starting to put their product on
the market, requests were issued by
the paper manufacturers to house
wives to save their rags in order that
they might be used to produce these
new qualities of paper which were be-
ing put on the market at that time,
and now it is not only a question of
conserving the supply of rags. but of
old paper as well. Americans are ac-
cused of thriftlessness and waste in
many particulars. especially the people
of the cities, and paper is one source,
from the coarse wrapping paper that
comes into the home and which might
be used again to the fine bond paper
used in offices. But now the price
of paper is going up by leaps and
bounds, owing to the fact that the war
prevents this country from getting
most of the material from which pa
per is made.
Some of the standard papers are
even now unobtainable. That some
was brought to the attention of the
employees of one of the largest news
paper publishing houses in the West
within the month. when old show,
fashion, theatrical and political post
ers were cut up into typewriting paper
size, and furnished to members of the
staff to be used for copy" paper
Children are the greatest destroyers
of paper, habit encouraged in some
homes to keep the child occupied,
which clings to it in school days and
often in later life in the business
world.
Among the materials essential to the
paper industry which central Europe
has been supplying are rags, and in
1913, when prices ranged from two
cents to six cents pound, the imports
of rags amounted to over two hun
dred million pounds, or S2,907,705.
These figures will give some idea of
our wastefulness when we consider
the quantity of rags thrown away
every day, with the result that we
have to import them from Europe.
There was a time when the rag
bag" had its hook behind every cellar
or storeroom door. 1t should be re-
stored to its place and beside it should
be the waste-paper bag, as well.

GOOD ROADS DAY

TNHURSDAY, May 25, will be Good
Roads Day in Pennsylvania.
The experiment of setting apart
one day a year for public work upon
the roads under direction of State
Highway employees was tried out by
Governor Brumbaugh last May and
proved so successful and beneficial
that Good Roads Day has been made
an annual event. News from all over
Pennsylvania is to the effect that the
occasion will be observed even more
extensively this year than last.
Dauphin county turned out large
numbers of volunteers in 1915 under
the direction of the Motor Club of
Harrisburg, the Millersburg Automo-
bile Club and other organizations of
the kind, and much good work was
done. Cumberland county also had
hundreds of men and boys on its high
ways and the roads were better all
year for their enterprise and efforts.
Men came out last year who had not
handled a shovel for years and to
whom overalls had been strangers for
so long they scarcely knew how to get
into them. They worked hard in the
fresh air and sunshine and by noon
had an appetite that made the sand
wiches and coffee by the roadside taste
better than a banquet at home. Both
the workers and the roads were the
benefciaries. The volunteers had a
real picnic and not the least enjoyable
feature of the day was the mingling OF
lawyers. doctors, merchants and men
of all walks of life in the common
work for public benefits.

Let us hope that the superheated con-
troversy over who's who in the Repub-
lican party of Pennsylvania will cease
after to-day. This State is vitally in
terested in the working out of the
greatest problems which have ever con-
fronted the nation, and after to-day
there will be less patience with those
who foment or encourage in any way
party disruption or dissension. If Phila-

Health Economy

The housekeeper who reads
newspaper advertisements and
buys only advertised package
foods especially in fly-breeding
time and hot weather is practic-
ing sensible economy. BY follow
ing the good advice of the adver-
tisements she avoids imperiling
the familys health through the
exposed infected unknown foods.
Cleanliness and wholesomeness
are always found In advertised
package foods. Any kind of
goods widely advertised in news
papers are always safest to buy.
The advertiser stands back of his
goods and back of the dealer,
with an absolute guarantee
which protects the purchaser
against loss.
Read about and buy the arti-
cles advertised in your favorite

No Catfish Like Them
New York Post. ]

lANNW i VI n L OSAs
Mark Twain, who pounced with glee
or the fact that La Sale and his COM
panion-eXplorers of the Mississippi
nearly had their canoe overturned by
an enormous catfish, would be inter-
ested in the controversy raging in Kan
championing the Cottonwood river
catfish, the Lawrence Gazette, defend
ing the Kaw river catfish, and the En-
poria Gazette, spokesman for the
Neosho river catfish.
The Kaw river catfish receive praise
for their martial qualities. In pioneer
days, according to the Lawrence paper,
they were of long-horn variety, and
though they have since been dehorned,
they still form themselves in serried
schools at the proper season and roar,
much in the barbaric manner of their
cousins in the Missouri. The Cotton
wood catfish, according to the News
liars, have been domesticated until
they gather near the banks for the
purpose of holding spring parties, and
allow themselves to be fondled by the
school children. But the Neosho cat
fish, the Emporia Gazette affirms, is
neither ferocious nor vulgarly familiar,
but joy to catch and a joy to cat.
HE is a gentleman, calm and delib-
crate. rather distant upon first ac-
quaintance. and. coming from his cool
depths only when he feels that his de-
sire for closer mountaineering will
be reciprocated. He is calm
but curious, and it is only when he is
reasonably sure that the offering be-
fore him is fit for his rather exclusive
taste that he will accept. From the
bass which inhabit the Neosho he has
learned habits of coyness and in his
more playful moments he is almost q
fiirt. The blue ribbon of edible per-
fection goes to the leisurely denizen of
the cool, deep pools of the Neosho.
