Our job over here is TO MAKE SURE the
supplies are there and al hand. That means
working every minute of every working day.
1t means, too, STICKING to the job. And
there is one of our gravest dangers. America
is losing more through thoughtless changing
of Jobs, thoughtless hiring of men, than through
almost any other one thing. II costs on the
average $50 to s2oo every time a man changes
his job. The man loses time. A machine stands
idle that ought to he working top speed on those
war supplies.
Changes, of course, must be made, for The
war industries need more and more men. But
don't let's make changes from one essential

war work 10 another unless there's mighty
good reason.
For this purpose the Government has es-
tabliShed the United States Employment Service
with 500 branch offices and 10000 u. S. Public
Service Reserve agents to help men find war
work and to help manufacturers find more men
without interfering with other war work. Use
this Service-it is free-prompt. 1t covers the
country. 1t is one sure way of knowing that
you are HELPING to win the war.

Office or the Director General at Washington.

L ing every man in France with EVERYTHING that he may need or

ending flow of supplies.
