Attic the government has yet to
assume control OF the supply Of skilled
workers. similar to that exercised in
the field OF unskilled labor. the depart
ment Of labor announced that the
shortage in the skilled trades has
reached critical stage.
The reserves virtually are gone"
the department stated, and it is con-
jecturel whether the present and fut-
ure needs OF the war Industries for ma
chinists, boilermakers and other skilled
workers in most demand can be met.
even II every non-war enterprise
should give up the whole OF its reserve
force of men OF these needed crafts.
This indicates the danger of temporiz-
ing with the question of ira nsfers from
nonwar work and the necessity Tor
the release OF such men by nonwar
employers either voluntarily or thru
pressure OF public opinion"

Is need for many Of these restaurants
to be established in London and other
cities OF the United Kingdom.
Already hotels and restaurants have
naturally been considerably alarmed by
this development. The ministry Of food
received deputation OF these interests
but found that they had no definite pro-
gram. The object of the ministry OF
food is TO procure the cooperation OF
private hotels and restaurants which
they would like to have adopt their
methods Altho there has been some
protest OF the entry of the government
into private business II does not appear
likely that this will amour, TO enough
to check the movement. The other al
tentative is that the private establish
ments will have 20 meet the national
restaurant in quality Of food and prices.
and IN this the food ministry stands
ready to lend them all the encourage
ment and give them every possible as
ssstance. II this results. 1t probably
will be the greatest advantage TO be de-
rived from this government uudertak-
ing.
The food ministry. however, Is going
ahead with the establishment Of more
restaurants Immediately. The director
Of national Kitchens of the ministry OF
food. c. F. Spencer, has already made
definite arrangements 70 establish four
similar restaurants in London and one
in Leeds, Glasgow. Manchester, New

have also been received from different
parts of the country for the starting Of

A recent invention which has not
been maraEeted as yet. but Is reported
70 be a great success, is an electric
roller for use in making the
much-needed llye-yard rolls of band
ages. This new device is not only a
great time and labor saver. but re-
Quires little practice to learn to oper-
ate. The rollers operated by hand, as
they have been heretofore. require skill
and training 20 operate them success
fully, and the work IS strenuous. By
rolling electrically the operator is able
to keep both hands on the bandagr,
while in hand operation one hand
guides the roll or bandage and the
other operates the roller.
