Trade Tests Used to Secure Skilled
Workers for Army.

To increase the accuracy of select
ing skilled workers among the enlisted
men a system of trade tests has been
developed. Elk ,ct and comprehensive
definitions of the more than 600 dir
ferent trades represented in the mill
tary organization have been brought
together in a s00-page book, "Trade
Specifications" Tables have been
prepared showing the detailed needs
of each unit for skilled and semiskilled
workers. Work has been done in re-
filming methods Of selecting and train
ing men for special duties in the Navy
special service regarding selection Of
a~viators, assistance to Provost Mar
shall General on the QUESTIONABLE, and
assistance rendered the Surgeon Gene
raj for general intelligence tests for
enlisted men and officers.
The w%ar-service exchange Of the
committee on classification of personal
answers inquiries of persons desiring
to serve the Army. It informs the
department of Labor of the needs
which the War Department has for
men.
War Department Plans Burroughs to
Help Farm Work.
For the purpose of augmenting ag-
ricultural production it is the inten-
ton of the war department to grant
furloughs to enlisted men to enable
them to engage in farming during the
present season. Commanding officers
may grant such furloughs within pre-
, scribed rules whenever it appears they
will contribute to increased farm pro-
duction.
Burroughs may be given by COM
manding officers of posts, camps, can
tonments, divisions and departments.
They will be for short periods, largely
for seeding and harvesting time. They
will not be granted to enlisted men OF
or above the grade of first sergeant
nor in an organization that has beer
ordered to move or is in transit from
points of mobilization or training
to a port of embarkation. All fur:
loughs granted will be recalled ant
the men ordered to their organization:
when they have received preparatory
orders for duty overseas.
Burroughs granted for farm worl
will be without pay and allowances
except that enough pay will be retain
ed in each case to meet allotments il
force on the day of the order, war
risk insurance, and pledges on Libert.
bonds.
For specially qualified experts il
agricultural furloughs may be grant
ed by the Secretly Of War upon ap
plication by the secretary Of Agricul
ture, providing such furloughs ar
voluntarily accepted by the person
for whom application is made.
Individual applications for furlough
submitted by relatives will be on
form to be furnished by local dra1
boards. Two sections are to be mad
out and presented to the local boart
WHICH will complete the form.
If the furlough is granted the al
plication will be filed by the con
manding officer and a certificat
furnished the soldier. If not grante
the application will be returned wit
reasons for d%isapproval.
