men and women In France In the
early days of the war. to which too
much credit cannot be given, had
blazed the way for the splendid eff
forts which were later directed by
the American Red Cross. As to the
women engaged in American Red
Cross work in France In ONCE. In
canteen and In refugee relief, and
in nearly every branch Of activity,
my observations and the opinion Of
American Red Cross executives
agree that they have made a record
of sacrifices and faithfulness Of
which we may all be proud.
Fortunate Opportunity.
1T is very gratifying that our
American sisters at home have had
opportunity to play so important q
part in the effort to bring to the
people of France a practical express
sion of their sympathy. their admi-
ration and their desire to help In
every way Of which they are ca
pable. Those who have been privi-
legged to dwell among the people of
France during these years OF suf-
fering and priyation fully realize
their gratitude for such sympathy.
and know the full measure of their
heroic sacrifice in giving their sons
for the preservation of the undying
principles for which we stand in
common with them"

Mississippi. in charge of the bill,
said he had received no such word.
and that, on the contrary, he had
talked two hours with Secretary of
Agriculture Houston on the bill

opposition to the amendment.
Chairman Lever. of the House

not at all certain that even with
administration support, the House

agreed that they had not come to
a decision whether il would be ad-

Leslie'S: Are you getting ahead

YOU the average amount OF brains.
W lth an average mind, any man or
woman who has energy and the am

he or she will train for the bigger
job. Opportunities in business lie
thick all about you, and the neces-
Sary training has been made avail
able TO every man. no matter where
he IS or what his job may be.
Business executives are in greater
demand right now in the United
States than they have ever been be
fore. ] have on my desk reports
from twenty-five organizations
showing that since our entry into
the war they have had 55S vacan-
cies in executive positions requiring
trained men. In l42 cases it has
been necessary to go outside the or
Sanization for the new men. In
other cases the situation has been
met by promoting men inside the or
ganization or by consolidating posi-
tions and increasing the work and
responsibility of the remaining exec
utiNes. Many others have been sim
ply unable to find the men they
need. The human factor in business.
the brain power, is now and will be
always the one element most in de
mand.
