j, B. Densmore Head.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Mobiliza-
ton of three million workers for ag
riculture, shipbuilding and war con-
tract plants was intrusted yesterday to
the United States employment service
by the department of labor at Wash
ington. Tremendous expansion of the
service is III progress in preparation
for recruiting men necessary to carry
on the economic work in support of the
military forces in the war. Solution of
the labor shortage problem by this
means is confidently proposed by the
department and the cooperating labor
organizations in answer to suggestions
that CONSUMPTION of labor is necessary.
One early result is expected to be the
placing of 100000 mechanics in ship
building plants to aid in hurrying to
completion the merchant marine pro-
gram.
John B. Densmore of Montana, solic-
itor for the department of labor, will
be national director of the employment
service by appointment of Secretary
Wilson. He will have as his assistants
Robert Watson of Massachusetts and

UNIVERSAL TRAINING
FIGHT IN CONGRESS
representative Kahn of California Will
Introduce Amendment to the
New Draft Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Plans for
universal service legislation have taken
such definite shape that it is possible
for the first time to outline the course
of the prospective fight in congress.
Representative Kahn, California.
ranking Republican ON the house mill
tary affairs committee, will sponsor the
bill as he did last year. He will sub
NIT the measure to the war department
before pushing it in the house. The
bill will follow Immediately after and
take the form of an offered amendment
to legislation to be sought by the ad-
ministration to provide for registration
under the selective draft of youths who
have attained the age of 81 years since
the general registration last June. This
legislation will not be sought until the
army appropriation bill is out of the
way.
The bill Mr.. Kahn will advocate is
| the measure actually prepared by the
general staff of the army. 1t has not
the Endorsement of the secretary of war
| because he is still straddling the ques
ton. A short time ago Mr.. Baker said
he was not vet convinced that universal
training is a necessity. The universal
| service legislation for which the fight
will be made provides for training the
youth of the country when they reach
the age of 10, the training to last about
ten months. subsequently, for a year
or two, they will have two weeks in
tenslve training each year
The general staff bill would hold ev-
cry one subject to call to the colors
after the completion of the training I'M
til he attains the age of 45.
Chairman Dent of the house mill
tary affairs committee probably will
lead the opposition to the Kahn
measure. Mr.. Kahn is determined ia
put the bill through now while the coun-
try Is awake to the necessity of prepa-
ration for the future, which was woe
fully lacking when the United States
entered the present war.
He is apprehensive that, in spite Of
the terrible lessons in the present war

GAME OF GOLF DEMANDS
HIGH TEST OF COURAGE

There is probably no higher
test of moral courage than that
demanded by the game of golf.
Strange as 1t may appear. al
though golf involves no physical
suffering nor endurance beyond
that what any ordinary man or
woman under sixty possesses,
vet nerves probably are respon-
sible for more lost rounds there
in than in any other sport. This
accounts, TO great extent, for
the fact that many players who
have all the shots in their bags
and skill beyond that of their
fellows, do not reach farther
than the first or second round
In a tournament. And so one
must come 10 the conclusion
that there is streak of xanthic

JULY WEATHER VERY NEAR THE
 NORMAL KIND
Slight Deficiency in Heat and Rainfall - Highest
 Temperature 98 Degrees.

The month of July Just ended df- fered very little from the normal July of many years, showing a deficiency of heat of 5 of a degree and deficiency of rainfall of .93 inches. Otherwise it was a pretty fair sample of the usual July, Voluntary Observer Will liam Jennings says.
 The maximum temperature for the month was 98 degrees on the 18th, and the minimum 50 degrees, while the mean for the month was 72.5. The greatest daily range was 32 degrees on the 22nd, the least range 10 de- grees on the 9th and 31st. The max imum temperature for July of last year was on the 31st when mark of 102 degrees was reached, the re- cord temperature for the city.
 The total rainfall was 3.5S inches, of which 1.75 fell on the 3Oth. The rainfall is below the normal for the month by ..93 inches. There were eight days on which .01 of an inch of rain fell, IA clear days, 1S partly cloudy, and cloudy days. The pre- vailing wind direction was southwest. Thunderstorms occurred the 4th, 1th, 18th, 14th, 17th and 3oth.
 The highest barometer for the month was 3O26 on the 26th, and the lowest .29.71 on the 9th.
 The usual July heat wave occurred four days earlier this year than the wave of July, 1917, when the ther- mornetor made a new record for the city, July 31, with a mark of 102 degrees.

SHOWER BATHS
 FOR SOLDIERS

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 6.-Soldiers on troop trains when passing through Ra- leigh refresh themselves from a hot and tiresome journey with shower baths free of charge. A building con- taining one hundred shower baths a few yards from the railway tracks, has been built with funds raised by popu- Tar subscription, at a cost of approxi- mately $T,000.
 Governor Bickett, several weeks ago observed that many soldiers who stop ped here for exercise and refreshment displayed evidence of suffering from ts9n intense heat and he appealed to the citizens of Raleigh to subscribe to a fund for a bath house. Within less than a week enough money was con- tributed. Besides making cash dona- Gons, business houses gave literally tn material and labor.
 Tn addition to the baths the build ir g contains a large dining room which is capable of seating two hundred men. Local Red Cross workers say they can, within one hour, supply food to a train of five hundred soldiers.
