Alaskan Chants

Some day the University of PEN

special concert to Indian Alaskan
music.
The concert will include about 100
Indian chants and folk songs, re-
corded on monograph.
Perhaps some Indian maiden with
a marvellous voice will receive her
first instruction to the world as an

The records. which are unique in
the history of voice production, have
been brought back to the museum by

is a bit confused by tall buildings and

have almost driven her to nervous
prostration.
Mr.. Shotridgc took along a photo

SPLENDID WORK DONE
BY MAINE Department
U. s. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

The people of the State of Maine
will be interested in the figures
showing the splendid work done by
the Maine department of the United
States Employment Service of
which Mr.. c. S. Hichborn of this
city has been the federal director
Since July 1, 1918, when active
work of the Employment Service be-
gan, the service has placed in gain
full occupation 20,2S7 men and 1031
women, a total of 21,31S placements.
On March % last because Of the
failure of Congress to reach the ap-
preparation bills it was necessary to
reduce the organization to a mere
to save the situation.
But the boys were comirS home.
The Legislature did ret propose to
have these boys, who had done such
great work lover there" find nobody
to care for them "over here"
1t Immediately without a dissent
ing vote in the Senate or House,
voted sufficient money to keep every
office in full operation until Congress
Sllodlo AiidhC IliS IlCSCSSdiy dPpIOpll-
alton.
Since this action was taken there
have been placed sos soldiers and
3,417 civilians through the eight Of
fees and PAS community boards.
This shows how the State of Maine
feels towards her soldier boys, and
what an efficient instrument for
good the Employment Service has
been.
The governments fiscal year ended
June 30th, but the State is going to
carry the expense of continuing the
service through the month Of July.
BY that time the boys will be about
all placed, and Unless the bill now
before Congress passes, the service
is likely to lie discontinued, unless
the Secretary of Labor is able in
some way to carry on the work to a
limited extent out of his general ap-
Precipitation.
The value which the service has
been cannot be over-estimated. It
was one Of the great war agencies Of
the country, and was second to none
in the really vital work which it per-
formed.
Much Of it was voluntary work.
The director served without pay, and
everywhere men and women worked
faithfully and worked hard at very
modest compensation.
There are hundreds Of cards COM
ing in from the soldier boys just
arriving from overseas. but the SER
vice will be found ready and anxious
to assist them.
