Specialized Clerks
Urgently Needed

Washington, D. c., June LEX
pert clerical work has more impor-
tant place in the Governments war
organization than most people rea-
liZe We all know that the war can
not be won in the trenches alone;
that an effective establishment at
/ home is vital to the success of the
biggest job ever undertaken by any
| nation; but the full extent to which
the specialized clerk is needed is per
haps not generally understood. And
it is in this class of work that Wo-
| men have the best opportunity to
! be of real service to the Govern
ment at this time.
In the national capital alone the
civilian force increased from oO.0UO
to nearly 10000 during the first year
of our participation in the war.
Nine-tenths of the new employees are
| clerks of one kind or another, and
! fully three-fourths of them are Wo-
men. $4,000 stenographers and typ
lists are at work constantly in the
Government offices at Washington on
! the tons of correspondence and rec
ords made necessary by war prepare
! tions on scale such as the world
| has never before known.
! General clerks, that is, those with
! out a speciality, are not difficult to
! obtain even under present conditions,
but the United States Civil Service
! Commission, charged with the duty
of recruiting the Civil Service to
meet war needs, is experiencing diff
| ficulty in obtaining a sufficient num-
! Der of applications for many clerical
positions which require special train
ing or experience. There is an ur-
gent call for applicants for the posi-
ton of stenographer, typewriter,

keeper, cost accountant, accounting
and statistical clerk, statisticlan,

A Conservation Ball

A unique and simple method of
promoting conversation at dinner
where as frequently happens, there
are several guests not sufficiently
we'll acquainted to sustain other
than a forced and artificial CONVEX
sation, was tried with great sue
cess by versatile hostess recently.
On a number of paper slips equal
ing the number of guests, were
written interesting questions and
timely topics. These were rolled
into a campact ball and when con-
versation languished this ball was
thrown to one of the guests with
the invitation to remove the outer
slip throw back the ball to the
hostess, and speak briefly on the
topic suggested on her slip. The
ball is thrown to each guest in turn
and much merriment is caused by
the efforts to keep the "conversa-
tional ball" rolling. An ingenious
hostess will find ways of tying the
ball so that it may be kept from
falling apart, and will furnish sub,
jects not too deep as to prove en-
barrassing, humorous perhaps, OIL
closely allied to the interests OF
her individual guests.
