WORTH OF MlDDLE-AGED MEN
Older Workers, Because Of Skill,
Steadiness and Reliability, Out
class Younger Fellows.

In several Western cities 'eoung-0ld"
men have formed an organization that
may become nationwide in it's scope
for the purpose Of securing employ
ment for men who have passed their
prime.
This is decidedly the day of young
men, and the man who has passed
middle life without having laid up a
competency Or mastered some special
line of work Is at a dreadful disadvan-
tage.
But it has always been so. And age,
now as always, says the Christian Her
aid, is not so much a matter Of years
as of declining enthusiasm.
We have seen men on whose strong
shoulders rests the burden of seven,
eight and sometimes nine decades, full
Of unwasted power of spirit and
strength when 1t comes to freshness
and joy In the work done and the
vision fulfilled.
The great work Of the world Is be-
ing done and always has been done by
men of middle life and more. Four
fifths of the business failures are made
by young men. 1t is ripened experience
and judgment that count in the busi-
ness world. as in any other.
In physical work the older man may
be outclassed by the younger one; but
in lines Of work calling for skill, stead
mess and reliability the Older man has
the advantage.

or even the ordinary garb of civilian

The new uniform for women can
teen workers consists of the follow
ing:
l gray whipcord coat and skirt.
l hat, blue or gray cloth.
2 shirtwaists, blue or white flannel.
l blue necktie.

Hat, "a to 40 francs.
Coat. 135 francs.
Or if preferred:
Cape, 140 francs.
Scarf, 10 francs.
Tie, 5 francs.
Aprons, Is francs, each.
BY General Pershing's order, the
entire canteen work for the army in
France has been taken over by the
Young Mems Christian Association.
This will mean that hundreds Of new
'canteens will be opened there before
fai.. Scores of American women will
be at work in them, paying their
own expenses, working without pay,
and dispensing with many of the
simplest comforts of life in order to
be of aid to the men of the army.

American relatives writing to SOL
diers in France are requested by the
United States Postal Service in
France to be more careful in direct
ing mail to soldiers. They are asked
to write with ink, to use Private" or
rank title instead of Mister" to
make their writing particularly clear
and legible, and to write names in full
instead Of using initials.
Communication from Mr.. Clark
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Praeger has just received the
following communication from John
Clark, United States army postal
lagent in France:
France, February II, 1918.
My attention has been called to in
Vulnerable letters in the statistical d.
vision which clerks were unable to
properly direct, owing to the fact that
the senders Of these letters did not
have the full name of the person for
whom the letters were intended
spelled out in full. In some instances
addresses were written with soft lead
pencil, which causes them to become
iliegible.
J. F. Smith should be written in
full: James Franklin Smith. The
reason for this is that in the vast
number of American soldiers here
there are great many with the name
of }. F. Smith, James F. Smith, John
: + Smith and jeremiah F.. Smith are
very common names, and it is, there
fore, obvious that letter addressed
simply J. F. Smith is unbelievable.
Carelessly written addresses, where
in an O or an A, when carelessly writ
ten. are frequently the cause of the
inability to properly decipher the
name Of the addressee, thereby re-
sulting in unbelievable matter. Ad-
dresses must not be written in pencil,
but should be written IN Ink at all
times. The preface Mister" should not
be used in addressing letters, but in
stead Of word private, lieutenant, cap
tain. major or sergeant should be
used; that is, the full title of the per
son for whom the letter is intended
should be given.
In many instances letters are being
received at the statistical division
which are without return address
Postmasters and other postal officials
in the United States should be in
structed that such matter can not be
accepted. for dispatch from the States
It is my belief that if the above fea-
lures, which have enumerated bt
given the widest publicity possible, II
will undoubtedly cause a reduction in
the number Of unbelievable pieces of
mail which are now being handled in
the statistical division of theAmerican
Iexpeditionary forces.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Mark L.. Requa Foreshadows Govern

Buenos Aires. July 2e.--An inves-
ernmental supervision and control OF
the oil industry from the well to the
consumer is foreshado by Mark
l.. Requa. head of the oil division OF
the fuel administration In a statement
to Universal Service.
The American production is estI-
mated at 326,000,000 barrels of crude
oil by c. W. Robinson, head of the con-
servation division. The allies require
mcnts are between 65,000,000 and TO-
100000 barrels of gasoline but in
creasing each day with the increased
shipments to the front of battle planes,
scout boats and motor trucks whose
motive power is gasoline and the
LAUGHING of additional war and car
rier ships burning heavy crude oil.
The great Mexican output of A.
100000 barrels "a year Is now not
available as dependable supply and
the Russian fields are in the posses
sion OF the central powers. The allies
look to America for their oil and gas,
There is plenty of gas now, but the
increased demand Is so great that any
day may see the surplus reduced to
a deficit. When that happens a sharp
cut in fuel for nonessentlal industries
and pleasure purposes will come on
order from the fuel administration.
