of as a wasteful and demoraliZinS

To popularize the discovery and

The dogs wool, so far as the asso-

GOVERNMENT HAS
URGENT NEED OF
SPECIALIZED AID

How many of us realize what
would become of our forces in
France if the organizations at home
for producing the material of war
should fail? Charging armies and
laundering battleships are easy to
visualize, but not so easy to ac-
complish. There can be no going
"over the top" no paralyzing broad
sides, unless, to sustain the blow,
there is material in abundance to
back up the human effort.
Right now the civilian branches
of the army and navy are in urgent
need of thousands of highly trained
workers, and before this year passes
these branches must be increased
by at least 10000 The ordnance
of the army needs great
numbers of men who are trained as
engineers, mechanical
and other kinds of craftsmen, chem
lists, metallugrists, and the like.
Literally thousands of inspectors

The quartermaster corps of the
army is in need of several thOus-

everything that enters into the per-
sonal and camp equipment of the
soldier. Passenger and freight rate
clerks are also wanted in this
branch. The signal corps of the
army is short of aeronautical me-
chanical craftsmen. The navy has
an unlimited number of places for
craftsmen of various kinds and for
a long list of technical workers.
Practically all branches of the SER
vice are in need of stenograp piers,

The campaign conducted by the
United States employment service
for men for work in shipyards, in
which Rock Island enrolled more
than five hundred men, has been a
success nationwide.
The United States employment
service now has registered in its
public service reserve more than
1904 mechanics in trades used
in shipbuilding. This exceeds by
10000 the goal set when the ma
tional campaign for shipyard vol
unteers began. The branch offices
of the employment service have
been notified to obtain the classified
lists of the reserve for the states in
which they are located and use
them in filling calls for skilled men
from the yards in their territories.
The shipbuilders' reserve already
has been put to use and men are be-
ing called daily from it for ship
construction.
Reports from the states show
that 257,444 men have been regis
tered and since that date several
thousand more have been added.
Against this number the estimated
labor requirements of the yards for
the next six months total 100000
men. Reserve members will be in
creasingly used since a number of
the largest yards are completing
construction and soon will need
operatives
New York. Illinois and Massa-
chusetts lead in the order named in
the number of shipyard- volunteers
enrolled in the reserve. Twelve
states and the District of Columbia
had by April 2 exceeded their
quotas. These were Arizona, Cali
fornia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massa-
chusetts, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and
| Wyoming. Several of these states,
notably Massachusetts, have con-
siderably increased their excess fig
ures. Alaska enrolled 43 men, Can
ada IL, and Cuba furnished 1.
Commenting on the success OF
the enrolment drive, Director Gen
eral Densmore makes the following
| statement:
'At this time Of reports of great
| shortages of shipyard labor it is
| important for the county to note
that these reports do not emanate
from the shipyards themselves but
from those who have no knowledge

BELIEVES NEW ACT
MAY BE INJURIOUS
TO AUTO DEALERS

That the new law called the
sailors and Soldiers Civil Right
Act" has some provisions that
might work serious injury to the
motor car industry is the statement
made today by Victor q. Kropf,
commissioner OF the Tri-City Auto
mobile Trade association.
In a letter to the members of the
organization he states: "All Of the
provisions OF the act cannot be
summarized in the space of letter,
but 1t is deemed advisable to call
the attention of the dealers to some
OF its features with special regard
to selling motor vehicles on de-
ferred payments, which are as fol-
lows:
THAT not only is the soldier or
sailor in actual military service re-
lieyed of obligations OF a contrac-
tual nature entered into prior to
the beginning of such service, and
to certain extent remedies against
him upon his contractual obiiga-
tions~entered into, subsequently to
his entry into the service, sus-
pended, but both these things are
tarue also of all those who have be-
come 'surities, guarantors, en-
dorsers and others subject to the
obligation or liability the per-
Torrance or enforcement of which
is stayed, postponed or suspended.
When a judgment or decree is
vacated or set aside In whole or In
part, by reason Of the provisions of
this act. the court may in its dis
erection also vacate or set aside the
judgment as to any surety, guaran-
tor, endorser or other person liable
upon a contract, etc.

sonal property under installment
