DIlUTI0N OF SKILLED
LABOR PREVENTS SHOCK

"Dllution" of skilled labor, re-
placing workmen who have been
drawn away by the demands Of war
with less experienced workers In
such a way that industry will not
be slowed up. is now well under
way under the ausices OF the Train
ing and Dilution service OF the de-
partment OF labor, recently organ
!zed with Charles T. Clayton as its
head.
The work OF this service presum-
ably will increase largely as the war
goes on. Wherever the supply OF
skilled labor runs short. dilution
must follow; women, for example.
must be trained TO undertake me-
chanical processes and, when there
processes have been mastered must
replace men in many positions.
The service will not conflict with
tho work of the federal board for
vocational education. 1t Is primari-
ly a part of the departments great
war program. The need OF the
emergency fleet corporation for la
obr necessitated originally a compre-
hensive plan for training and dilu-
ton.

Forms of dilution are many, and
they vary from trade to trade. Di.

work that unskilled men and women
may be given a large part OF the
processes formerly undertaken by
skilled labor. The service will pre-
pare publications, based on its In
vestigations, with the aid OF the in

These publications will be distributed
through the essential industries.

clearly the need for training work.

Thus far not nearly so large a per-

The Hunters Moon.

Deep is the charm of a moss-green
path
In the woodlands velvet shade.
And the lure Of a vagrant way that
leads
Through gold OF an open glade:
But trail of stronger spell | know
A pike road, level and wide,
With the sklmming hint OF a frosty
CLINT,
And the hunters moon for a guide.
Ooh, how the tart air stirs the
blood
That sings in it's bounding flight:
The step strikes clear as the chink
OF steel
On the, smooth, long stretch OF
light.
A rollicking light leaps forth to meet
The boots OWLS dolorous goan,
Or the fox's bark from the sooty
dark
or a hollow, eerie and lone.
The streets Of the city flash with jetc
In circle and crescent gay
CIose-knit with a hundred scenes OF
cheer,
But ever the potent way
That calls TO me with tho foxs cry
And the west Winds gruft bas-
soon
Is a pike, cut clean, when the air
is keen
At the fun OF the hunters moon.
Toast We the maidens whose dainty
grace
Is sweet as a flowers can be.
Or the dusk-eyed daughter OF South
ern dreams.
But this is the toast for me:
sturdy maid with a spirit brave
Who will match her pace with
mine
On road flint-white in a tide of
light
When the hunters moon is a.
shine!

Peoples Home Journal.

ESSENTIAL PLACES FIRST.

II ts announced that tho United
States employment service has in
strueted community labor boards TO
publish lists OF Industries in which
women may be substituted for men,
with the hope that the men occupy
ing such positions may be branded as
"slackers." The desirability Of sup
plying essential industries with lnbor
Ia conceded. 1t Is, in fact, an i'm
perRtive necessity. But there is scri-
Gus doubt as TO whether this method
Is the best that could be followed.
As the St Louis Globe-D Democrat
has suggested, tho proper method to
approach this problem Is to first
ascertain the labor needs Of essential
industries and make the information
public In every community. Men not
subject to military duty would gladly
enter essential Industries, II given an
opportunity. But no one who Is earn
ing a living at his customary pursuit
feels that he should throw up his
sob and begin a hunt for other work.
II men engaged In comparatively
non-essential Industries should do
thiGi II would be a very expensive,
method OF making the labor transfer.
ThH proper method 10 TO find a man
for q job that Is vacant. rather than
to force man to quit one Job to
make a search for another.
when PROVOST Marshal General
Crowder made his original work or
fight" order, which has been so
widely misunderstood, we suggested
that the local draft boards be noti-
fled OF vacancies ina essential In
dustries. 70 they might search the
uuestionnaires and find out how many
registrants. In deferred classification
because Of dependents, might be
shifted TO such work. Such notifi-
cation SHOULD naturally come from
the United States employment serv-
Ice. We understand that this plan
has been followed, with excellent re-
suits, In many cases. Tho informn-
tion inspcssession Of the draft boards
facilitates the labor transfers OF
rsgistrants. Such information is
lacking as to persons not OF military
age. but publicity as to vacancies in
essential industries would expedite
transfers. The number of hew regis-
trants who have dependents will run
into the millions. II Is highly i'm
portant that all Information AZ to
their qualifications for essential work
be utilized in filling the labor needs
OF essential industries.

gentleman rabbit Uncle OF Billy
Bunny. you know. was lonely. Yes,
dear Uncle Lucky was certainly
lonely. You see. the ground was
covered with snow 80 that he
couldn't use his Lucleymobile, and so
of course he couldn't go over to see
his little nephew, for tho old gentle
man rabbit had a bad touch OF
rheumatism In his left hind toe and
couldn't hop very far,
"Oh. dear, what shall I do?" ex-
claimed Uncle Lucky one morning
after a heavy snowstorm. Wont
II ever stop snowing2" and the old
gentleman rabbit took off his car
pet slipper and rubbed his left h'nd
toe. But that didn't do any good
II ached just as badly as before, so
he took his silk polka dot handker-
chief out Of his pocket and tied II
around his neck. for he was dread
fully afraid of getting a stiff neck,
you know.
And then. all OF a sudden, Uncle
Lucky had an idea And when you
get an idea all OF a sudden, just like
that II makes you dreadfully eX-
cited, and the old gentleman rabbit
ran over to the telephone. but be-
fore he got there he stubbed his left
hind toe, the one that had the rheu-
matism. you know, on the end Of
the old rocking chair, and then OF
course he had U sit down and say
something, and Take off tho slippdr

asked Uncle Lucky, when some
bondy said "Helloa. who's calling"
Have you got any little red
sleds?" asked the old gentleman rab-
bit anxiously. We'll, then, send me
UP four" and then Uncle Lucky
hung up the telephone, and after
that he took coughdrop and a little
lettuce Juice which the wise Duck
Doctor. Doctor Quack. you know,
had given him to keep the rheuma-
tism away from his other toes, not
the ducks toes, you know, but
Uncle Lucky's.
Well, as soon as tho four little
red sleds came, Uncle Lucky hoped
out TO the garage, and, would you
believe il he took the wheels off tho
I.uokymobile and put on the sleds in
stead and then he jumped onto the
front seat and honke dthe horn three
times and a half and then the four
little sleds started off and away went
the Luckymobile through the front
gate and down the road. And the
farther they went the faster they
went until, before Uncle Lucky had
time to think of his rheumatic left
hind toe. he was at the Old Brier
Patch. And then he gave three
honks and maybe another squeeze
to the horn and this brought Billy
Bunny out OF the house and when he
saw those four little red sleds on the
Luckymobile, he said:

From a recent discussion in the

other dependents of American off,
GERS who have been captured by, the
Germans have been notified they will
no longer receive their allotments
from the government. The war de-
partment is said TO have ruled that

the government which holds him, No
information Is at hand TO show
whether tho German government is
fulfilling this obligation; but In any
event we may safely assume that
Germany is not paying our officers
any more than she is her own and
the rate Of pay for German officers
is about one-fourth that which pre-
wallis in the United States army
The subject has been referred 10

fairs and It is to be hoped that some
adjustment may be made We pre-
