Township Should Haze
Paid for Groceries
for Small pox Patients

Groceries in the amount of $500
used by smallpox patients from No
vemrer % to December 81. 1917. and
paid tor by the city should have been
paid for by the township trustee, ac-
cording to City Attorney Robbins in
an explanation at the city council
meeting, Monday night
Hitherto ii has been the practice of
the city administration to pay for the
provisions used by smallpox patients

of relief
Acting on this theory grocsrs sup

and patriotic work of the army boards

ing one of the largest armies in the
/ history of the world
An extract of the letter received by

Boards are about to complete the
erection of an army building machine,
the like of which is unknown in the
history of the world.
The armies of the future will be
furnished by just such boards and the
country will never again find itself
i unready.
| The men who have built and have
; toiled night and day for many months
did not perform work that could be
measured with money.
| True few have complained, but the
great majority of the boards have toll
ed on patiently and periodically
through the trying ordeal. changing
regulations and confusing details and
the result of their work stands today
as a monument to their toll. History
will find a way to recognize the work
| of this great body of citizens who in
| the rush of war preparations have
given the best tina they have had.
The Richmond board has from time
to time been lauded by its prompt
handling of matters referred to it. The
board is composed of Clement V. Carr
chairman, Michael Kelley, county clerk
and William Dudley Foulke. appea1
agent. The board is assisted in the

BUREAU TO AID WOMEN
IN FINDING RIGHT JOBS
u. S. Will See That They Get
Congenial Work, Even
Though Unframed

The vocational bureau Of the women's di-
vision of the United States employment
service, Thirteenth and Arch streets, is a fea-
ture just started which is expected to be-
come a regular bureau in all the United
States employment agencies in this city.
The purpose is TO place women who are
strong, intelligent and eager TO work. but
unframed dissatisfied i'm their present
lines, in positions by which both they and
the whole country will reap the greatest
profit. 1t thus fills need which is no less
pressing in peace than in war
The organization of the bureau grew out Of
a necessity which has long been felt. Women
have been applying at the employment sery-
ice who can give no qualifications for work
except that they strong and say that
there ought to be something a keen-mnded
has had no training, The types of women
whose minds have been trained along gen
eral lines and who find themselves facing a
demand for specific training, to girls who
have been toiling away at some distaste-
ful job simply because ii seemed to be the
only thing they could do.
The fundamental idea of this bureau is
one which makes for the greatest efficiency
based on a belief that there Is work, especial
ly at this pressing time, for every earnest
and physically sound woman to do that ~
the work is suited TO the woman whether
or not she Is trained" 100 per cent efficiency
will be the result.
