The chairman of the Committee on
Home and Foreign Relief, which has
been working in cooperation with the
health officials during the epidemic Of
influenza and pneumonia, reports fewer
Icalls and better conditions in every

smoothly for the remainder Of the war

clerks of every variety, drivers of de-
livery wagons for produce and dry
goods, conductors on street cars, motor
drivers, drivers of traction blowing
machines. All the occupations which
do not require great strength or long
training can be filed by them. Great

war fast-even though lateo and in
the wide employment of women we are
