am in receipt Of letter from
the Department Of labor, u. s. Public
Service Reserve, Washington, D. C,
asking for q large number Of experts
who will serve without pay, but who
will be reimbursed for actual expens-
es.
The men required are such as may
be classed as engineers and experts
in the clay, lime, cement and glass
industries. to act az field experts to
,ohsck- up with the work being done
in plants, and where possible to sug-
gest more efficient means Of manu-
featuring the product.
At least one man will be needed
In each industry in most of the dis
triots. varying in proportion to the
extent of the industry. Some men
may be found who are experts in
more than one of these lines. These
men will be asked to give to this SER
vice not more than two days in week
and where possible arrangements
will be made with the present en-
ployer to continue their salaries for
the time they are absent from their
own plants. Also the work will be
arranged by districts 30 that 1t will
necessitate each man visiting only
those points in his own neighbor-

The department of Labor has ask
ed us to furnish as large proportion

no difficulty in finding few men in
your neighborhood for this class
of work, who can undertake such
work without compensation. The
fact that 1t must be voluntary SER
vice some what increases the difficult
ty, of course. On the other hand it
should appeal to the class OF men
who are wanted, for, being experts
they are most likely to be in posi-
ton to serve without compensation,
or for expenses only.
Applications must be sent to this
office direct, where they will be CIV
en- prompt attention.

given publicity through the news
papers and In every way possible.
