Dear Mother:
Last Tuesday we were out on the
road, as usual, cracking rocks, and
wondering when we would go home,
when along about noon our lieuten-
ant came down the road on his carl
cature OF Dan Path doing a regular
Paul Revere Aide to warn us to
bring our tools and be ready to
"Parlee Tout Sweete" with FULL
pack by 1880 p. m. OF course we
all had visions of home, but by the
time we had chowed and got our
selves ready, discovered that the oc-
casion was only an invitation to ap-
pear before General Pershing in a
grand review of the Sight Seeing
Sixth.
We loaded onto truck and went
to Bure Les Templiers where we
stayed all night, and Wednesday we

What U. S. Employ
lnent Service Means

The space In this bulletin is too
limited to cover anything but a
fractional part Of the achievements
of the U. s. Employment Service
since 1t was started as a war emer-
gency bureau for placing men and
women in employment. But brief
outline may be given here for the
benefit of those interested in know
ing, that more than 100000 per-
sons of both sexes registered with
the Service for employment in 1918.
and of this number, 100000 were
placed in positions. By these fig
ures II may be seen that wage-earn-
ers we've saved approximately $10,-
100000 considering the amount of
the average fee charged by private
employment concerns. For example,
during the IL weeks from Septem-
Der /, 1918, to the 18th of the fol-
lowing November, 1,158,792 work
ers were placed in positions in the
United States, an average of 105, 900
week. During the Is weeks after
the armistice was signed up to the
week ending March 1, 1919, 1882
543, an average of $4,000 a week
were cited to employment thru the
Government offices operated in ev-
cry state. A careful study of these
figures will show the vast sum saved
the workers In fees by and thru the
U. S. Employment Service.
How IL Has Operated In Oregon.
Coming nearer home, 1t is we'll to
know what the IT, s. Employment
Service has done in Oregon. Re-
ports on file in this office show that
in the year 1918 a total of S7,061
men and 6,S52 women were placed
in positions of profitable employ
ment. From January 1 to June l.,
1919, positions were found for 49,
go men and 1905 women. In ad-
dltion to the placements cited above,
positions in various lines have also
been found for S.0S4 soldiers and
sailors who have sought employment
thru this office and its Bureaus for
returned service men which are in
operation in this state and work in
conjunction with the Federal En-
ployment Service in It's efforts to
secure work for the men upon their
release from the army and navy. 1t
is in no spirit of boastfulness that
the statement is made that this
branch OF the Department has met
every demand made upon 1t, ant
that today no division OF the gener-
al government stands closer to the
great mass of the people or serves
q worthier purpose than that which
brings the jobless man and the man.
less job together.
Berry Picking in Full Swing
Hundreds of pickers have gone to
the strawberry fields during the past
two weeks and since the u. S. EN-
ployment Service established an Of
flee at Hood River the fields in that
section are rapidly filling up. While
for a time it looked as tho there
might be some difficulty in secur-
ing the required amount of help to
gf ther the crop, at this time there
Is no serious shortage of pichers
tho the height OF the season will not
bo reached for another week. The
Federal employment agent at Hood
River reports pickers coming In
large numbers just now but says he

How would you feel il, on opening
your eyes after an operation. you
looked up and saw that the nurse
lowering over you and smoothing
your pillow was none other than
your lost sister, whom you hadn't
seen for eleven years?
Just such was the experience of

ment OF marines. who related his
story last night at Club No. OF the
War Camp Community Service.
Il reached the hospital late one
night" he said, after being wounded
IN the lighting that day. and was sent
TO the operating room. When / re-
covered consciousness the next day
a woman was standing at my bedside
with tears in her eyes. She was my
sister, whom l had not seen since
leaving Atlanta eleven years ago.
She had aided in the operation
when I reached the hospital the night
oefore, and had discovered my iden-
tity when examining my record the
next morning. Ny other sister was
4 nurse in the hospital at Nantes and
came to see me soon afterWard.
Il had not known that either OF
my sisters was in the service, nor did
they know that / was at the front. +"

WANTS MILK
LAW ALTERED
Dr.. Fowler Urges Immediate
ReVisions So as to Protect
People of Capital.

Revision OF the District milk reEu-
lStions is needed 81 Washington resi-
dents are to be properly protected
against the sale of unlicensed milk in
the National Capital In the future,
DR.. william c. Fowler, health officer,
told The Times today.
There are certain provisions OF the
present milk laws which arc just
vague enough TO cause confusion
when the health authorities set out to
stamp out an epidemic OF infringe
ments OF the health laws" said DR..
Fowler. The substitution OF an
entirely new set OF regulations seems
advisable"
William H. Simpson. proprietor OF
the Walker Hill dairy, $50 Seventh
street southeast, today was acquitted
by q jury in Police Court on a charge
OF bringing milk into the. District
without a permit from the Health De-
pRrtment. The jury deliberated thirty
minutes.
Trial Of Simpson had been in prog
ress since Thursday. 1t was alleged
that on March Is, 1918. Simpson re-
ceived a car load OF milk from the
Pa, which was taken in Simpsons
trucks to his dairy in southeast Wash
ington.
The jury was told by Judge Nc
Mahon that IL must find evidence be-
yond any reasonable doubt that Simp-
son did not know that the Lancaster
company did not have a permit from
the Health Department to ship milk
into the District
DIR. william c. Fowler. District
Health OFFICER, testified there was no
record in his Office that the Lancaster
firm has a permit or had made appli-
cation for a permit to ship milk into
the District.
The prosecution produced no evil
dence that Simpson knew that the
Lancaster frm did not have a District
license.
