Cooperating With City
and State Bureaus.


the efficiency of these lesser bureaus has
been greatly increased by the federal
aid. and it is believed many of the local
agencies will eventually be combined with
the national one. Thus. in Chicago the
government is cooperating with both a
city and state bureau. and it is planned
to combine all three as soon as possible.
OF course, there are inevitable difficulties
in this effort to find the right place for
the right woman. Some of the servants
placed by the federal service have proved
inefficient, and some of the positions in
which they have been placed have since
been listed as undesirable But as the
work goes forward a great body of in
formation about employers and employees
is being gathered. In the course of years
every maid and every mistress in the
country may have a government rating.
All possible precautions are now be-
ing taken to insure mutual satisfac-
ton. The honesty and good chara cter
of each applicant for a place must be
vouched for by at least two relia BILE
persons, and these references are al
ways looked up. The employer is the
subject OF an equally careful inquiry,
anu special care is taken that girls
and women may not be placed in UNI
desirable positions Inspection agents
The service of the government en-
ployment bureau is not limited to
adults. Boys and girls of suitable a ge
may also apply for work. The offices
in San Francisco and Chicago have
helped number of country girls to
find employment in those cities. The
woman agents have in all cases taken
a personal interest in these girls. and

Crews VS.. DeNeri


Although De Neri has lost every game
played so far, the team goes to the post
ioniEht confident that 1t Is about due TO
smash into the won" column; and when
they line up against the champion Greys
at Musical Fund Hall they will fight to
achieve their first triumph of the season.
Whlls De Neri is tailender in the present
procession for the Eastern League pennant,
The club has played much better ball than
their FIVE defeats indicate,
AEainst the two hardest clubs In the
isaFue, Jasper and Camden, and In foreign
cages, De Neri piled UP big early lead,
something no other team has accomplished
this year; and while being beaten at the
hnish, the early starts proved conclusively
that the club has some power. The De Neri
playars need to be in better physical condi-
ton. They seem to lack the stamina to
70 the full forty minutes, The five games
have helped some In taking Off the raw
