I'VE had no thought of barring any
one on account of the length of their

be an interminable job to read them
all if they exceeded fifty words on
an average. If 10000 women sub
mitted letters at the rate of fifty
words each, it would be some con
siderable task for committee OF

Our job over here is to MAKE SURE the supplies are there and at hand. That means working every minute of every working day. It,means, too, STICKING to the job. And there is one of our graveSt dangers. America is losing more through thoughtless changing of jobs, thoughtless hiring of men than through almost any other one thing. It costs on the average $20 to $200 every time man changes his job. The man loses time. A machine stands idle that ought to be working top speed on those war supplies.
 Changes, of course, must be made, for the war industries need more and more men. But don't let's make changes from one essential

 For this purpose the Government has es- tabliShed the United States Employment Serv- ice with 800 branch offices and 10000 U. S. Public Service Reserve agents to help men find war work and to help manufac- turers find more men without interfering with other war work Use this Service-it is free prompt It covers the country. It is one sure way of knowing that you are HELPING to win the war.

 Following the example set by the Uni-ed States Stcel corpo -ation, the Standar1 Oil company of New Jersev and the Tste- graph company have increased the wages of their employees by 10 per cent.

SOLDIERS TAKE UP
 NATIONAL PAST|ME
Two Million Me, Become Participants in Cid Game
 of Baseball

With the demise of professional baseball come opportunities for anna teur and semi-profes ,ional sport so comprehensive that if will be months before these possibilities can be fully appreciated and grasped. writes Wal ter Bratz In the Salt Lake Telegram.
 Right now there arc more than 100000 young men in our national army. Before these men went to camp the athletic activities of the majority of them was confined to sitting in the bleachers and roofing for the home club. edging into a ringside seat to see couple of pugs maui each other, or playing a little "ketch" on the streets when the cop wasn't looking.
 Now these same fellows are going in for sport activity. Athletic train practically all our soldiers into some branch of sport. They play baseball. football or basketball. They box and wrestle. They engage in all sorts of field and track athletics. XXX
 After the war they will not be con- tented to, sit idly by and watch some one else play these games for them. They will want to be in the games themselves.
 And the examples set by these young men will be followed by their fellows and particularly by the younger gem eration.
 It means that, after the war. instead of about 2 per cent of our youth be- ing actively engaged in sport about 90 per cent will participate.

The Boston Americans, who defeated Cleveland Saturday in the first game of critical series, will have as their opponents this week St. Louis, which team is playing excellent ball. while Cleveland and Washington will each try to put the other out of the race.

 assisted so wonderfully in the upbuild- ing of worlds championship Braves
 Always 1t seemed to me that Mitchell was far too good a man to remain ia a subordinate capacity. But the opnor- tunity to show what he could do as a pilot never came to him until Joe Tinker moved from the Cub berth. Then Mitch ell got his chance, and the baseball world knows what he has accomplished since.
 What is Mitchell's greatest asset as q leader?" Stallings was asked.
 His ability to get the maximum work out of his men with the minimum of friction" replied Stallings. Mitchell is splendid mixer. The players like him. and they admire him. Mitchell rarely demands; his orders are in the nature of requests. He never loses his temper. Even in defeat he is calm and patient.
 Fred is a wonder in perfecting team work. Few men exceec nIm in ability to assemble miscellaneous collection of ball players into a smooth running, pow erful team. The Cubs, on paper, do not look powerful, Barring Hollocher, there isn't an outstanding star in the whole regular outfield and infield. Merkle and Paskert are veterans; Zeider, Mann. Flack a.ai Deal never were more than ordinary ball players. Not one of that group would ever find his way onto an all-star team, nor second or third al. star team
 ''Yet Mitchell welded that collection into a powerful unit and by handling his pitchers like real leader. he has maj the club 8 potential worlds champion.
 He's a wonder, is Fred Mitchell, and he's always at his best in the tightsst places If his team gets into the world series of 1918 you'll see some of the greatest generalship displayed that has been witnessed in any world series con. flict for long, long time.

CLAYS IN
 THIS PART OF SOUTH


 An article by T. Poole Maynard, Ph. acteristics of the clays of North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama is published in the Industrial Index of last week. It con- tains interesting and valuable informa- ton concerning potentially valuable ciays in the southeast, the greater develop ment of which is a matter of much im- portance to the southeast.
 pr. Maynard points out features of the possibilities of development of clay de- posits in this part of the country. and tells of the discovery in this section of a material better suited for textiles than English clay.
 The acquiring of knowledge of the char acteristics and extent of clay deposits of the southeast necessarily is the first step toward the development of them. and Dr. Maynard's s communication is val- rable in connection with the movement for producing and preparing these clays n a much larger scale
