risen in many businesses Labor has become The
Government is serious competitor for the services of pro-
fessional and clerical help Since the United States
entered the and Washington became the most important
city in the country the readusmentI of private business
to meet the extraordinary demands has upset
all previous standards between employer and employe The
Government sometimes has doubled the salaries of expert
senogaphes and clerks and the rush to benefit by the
iberty of the bureaus headed by accustomed
to good salaries to get efficient help has left many vacan
cies in the Office buildings and stores of the city.

herself to living large salary will find it disconcertng
to meet reduced income.
There two things to be kept in mind therefore:
