additional men likely to be needed
In the near future by various
branches of the government and con-
Germs holding important war con-
tracts.
At present there is no department
or place where any comprehensive In
formation Is at hapd as to what
men are going to be needed In various
civilian activities directly connected
with the war. A man seeking to find
an opportunity for service can only
wander from ONCE to office trying
to pick up information as to where
he can be of use.
The securing of this data is an
essential preliminary to any intelli-
gent effort to deal with the scarcity
of skilled labor which It Is expected
will shortly become acute here as II

that he believed that Great Britain

Presently, she picked up the handker-

threaded the needle the very first time :;
and how easy it was to darn. Why

inclined to think it was because Jane
was interested, and not In n bad hum Tor

Stand still? Why. poor Jane was
so frightened that she couldn't have
moved an inch, even IL her life had
depended upon It! She felt that her
knees would give way under her any
moment and that she would topple to
the floor In fact, she wished she
would.

In fact"--and he turned and winked
at his brothers who grinned back at
him-"we make it our buJiness TO find
every little girl who does not like to
sew and to tell her thing or two.
Now, not - word from you, not-a-

We've been watching you for some

you up. Not very nice, | admit: but
we hoped such things as these would

been quite different. Instead of max

frequently does SO with your little

what short time It takes her TO
