WANT SHOPMEN TO
ENROLL FOR FARM
WORK IN HARVEST

An attempt is to be made to en-
roll men from the various shops
ia Rock Island, Moline, East Moline
and Silvis for service on farms II

A meeting has been arranged for
Palmer R. Edgerton. county crop
advisor. TO address members of the

ton in an effort to gain support 10
the plan. The meeting will be held
Wednesday at 12:15 noon at the
Rock Island club rooms.
Mr.. Edgerton states that it is his
purpose to form a schedule cover
ing the work This matter will be
discussed at the meeting.
The idea is to get the shOpmen
to take their vacations at the time
harvest IS in full swing so Chat thew
can help in the gathering of the
crops. It is considered that the
men will be greatly in need, and
that those who go 10 the farms dur

pleasant time on the farm. but viii
also receive wages which Will com

NO Dearth Here.
1.-THE public need have no rear
that there will be a dearth OF phy-
sfcians and surgeons at home,
Or. Rochow said in discussing the
plan Of the war department. The
government intends that all doc
tors now at home make appllca
ton for commission and take I'll 2
examinations. II will then select
one out OF every three for army
service. but in so doing VIII choose
those who can be taken with the
least Inconvenience and whose
home attachments are less THAI
the others. This will leave suffi-
cient at home for the care Of the
population here.
"A number OF Rock Island doc
tors have already taken the ca
animation and It is the intention
Of the government to have each
one make application. The gov
eminent will make the selections
looking out for the interests Of th=
public as well as having an eye
for its army needs. But the point
that must be borne In mind Is
that all doctors are expected 70
make application. Major Doering,
81 East Madison street, Chicago, is
in charge of enllsting medical men
for army work and application
blanks may be secured from him.

Be IN SERVICE
Estimate Number of Women Work
ers at Rock Island Arsenal to
BE Greatly Increased.
SERVE 10 HOURS EACH DAY
Every Precaution Taken To Insure
Health and Happiness OF Fe-
male EmplOye.

In employing women in manu-
featuring operations at the Rock
Island arsenal. thereby releasing
men for heavier work at the big
government plant, and also for act
i've military service. every precau-
ton is taken to insure the health
and happiness of the girls and
women.
By the end of June it is esti-
mated that the total number of
women and girls employed on the
arsenal will total approximately
six hundred. At the present time
there are 400 girls assigned to cler-
ical duties and $50 are at work in
the harness shop. About one hun
dred and fifty more are to be en-
ployed in the harness shop immed-
lately.
In the harness shop the female
employees are assigned to power
driven stitching machines upon
which they sew haverSacks, ration
bags. first aid kits and various 9th
er cloth articles used by the Ameri-
can soldier. Other women are en-
ployed on miscellaneous operations
such as clipping threads and fast
ening the steel clips on the ends of
canvas straps and other odd jobs
which. do not require skilled labor.
1t is also considered probable
that during the summer, women
and girls are to be taken on in the
small arms shops. and in the shell
! loading and equipment depart
ments. Before this is done, how
ever. Miss Helen Bryan, detailed
from Washington to the arsenal as
| a special investigator for the de-
| partment, will make a survey of the
| processes and conditions under
| which the women will work
The original hours for the fe-
male employees of the arsenal were
ten. The working day has now
, been reduced to nine hours. effect

and quit at SIS o'clock in the aft

given the same rate of payment as
the men when they learn the opera
ton of the machines.
Many Needs.
Under the civil service reguia-
tons all applicants for clerical DO
