the real difficulty may only be that
IN the long run the casual acceptance
OF unpaid labor by the husband is as
dlsillusioning to the wife as it is to
the husband to be considered merely
an animated checkbook.
AS her enforced during- -thewar
business training may give many a
wife a more intelligent idea of her
husbands income and a more sane
idea of how far it can or should
so, so this new demand of women
that housekeeping be put on a paid
basis may wake up man to the
value of his wife's work as he has

New-York tribune., 1919-05-18

work has recently been opened which
may obviate this difficulty.
Many of the men. have strange
ideas as to the sort of work which
they wish to take up. l think the
banner case, up to date, is that of
the young man who desires the Job
of distributing handbills from an
aeroplane. He believes the aero
plane TO be the coming medium for
advertising, and he therefore sees a
great future for the ambitious young
man who ascends into the upper air
and showers handbills on the throngs
below. To the credit of the man in
charge at the bureau, however, be it
said, that this ambitious young
gentleman is now acting as clerk
in hardware store until such time
as his services shall be required in,
his chosen occupation.
The women (God bless 'em.l have
supported the bureau from the very
first, though their efforts may some
times seem misguided. One of the
first visitors to the bureau was a
woman in search of a man to run
her motor boat on Lake Champlain,
and she selected a big six-footer
from the chauffeurs' section and bore
him off in triumph.
A lady from Harlem was not so
successful. She had conceived the
idea of engaging an army cook, and
after she had interviewed dozen or
more of those ranged on the benches
in the domestic section" she came
to man who volunteered to speak
for the remaining candidates.
You're in the wrong coop, lady"
said he. "We're jest plain hash
singers here. You'd better 20 to
the Salvation Army if ycU want any
fancy stuff"
But when all is said and done. the
last three weeks have fully justified
the existence of the unemployment
bureau, so much so that the other
cities that have been watching the
results OF New York City's expert
meat are already making plans for
the establishment Of similar bureaus.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-18

IN business concern, will it pay the
family to employ such expensive help
in cooking, cleaning, laundry work
and chamberwork, the traditional
Jobs attached to marriage, which
some women find very ball and
chain? Besides, if one pays $50 a
week for such service, it . should be
very we'll done, and the chances are
that a woman competent in the bus
iness world might not be worth moro
than S4 week at housework, and
why should her luckless family suf-
fer from such haphazard meals and
Indifferent cooking as hers might be?

There are scores of such men
being released from service every
day, all anxious to get to work at
once. There are also scores of peo-
ple waiting to employ them, not only
as chauffeurs, but as engineers on
motor boats, as truck drivers, help

only knew how to reach them. The
Unemployment Bureau of New York
City, at the corner of Pearl and

Wanted: A Job
On Broadway

All sorts of curious facts are
brought to light in the course of the
registration of our cx-fghters, the
chief being that they are unanimous
in their determination to work
within sight of the white lights of
the city.
Little old New York is good
enough for me-" husky ex-sergeant
of the 9th remarked to the officer
in charge of one of the sections.
"1've seen enough country over there

Get me job on the Great White
Way and I'll work myself to death !"
This seems to be the general senti-
ment-in fact, there is a very good
position in New Rochelle which has
been offered to man after man and
refused by each as being "too far
from Broadway"
There is great dearth Of men for
the high-salaried positions, several
of which have been on the books at

to $4,000 a year. A special depart

without further parley, with the
grim determination to keep his eyes
open and learn all that is possible
during his hours at the shop and
supplement this with the knowledge
which he can gain at night.
The various employers associa-
tions have been quite wonderful in
their cooperation with the reemploy-
ment bureau. They make point Of
calling on the bureau to fill any
vacancy among their employees be-
fore applying to any other agency.
The bureau is great benefit to
them as well, inasmuch as where
formerly they were obliged to inter
view any number of candidates for
vacancy, the man in charge at the
bureau picks the man he thinks best
fitted to fill it, and the employer,
as rule, engages him at once.

ing man on the stage without any
exceptions. Twenty-Five hundred notes
from admiring females are said to be
his average every week. He was in
motion pictures and that branch of
the theatrical business has dubbed
him the Great Lover" principally be-
cause the feminine stars of the screen
demand Earle when real lovers are
needed. In fact Mr.. FoXe turneo
down seven picture engagements to
sign with the Garrick because he
wanted to spend the summer in Wash

He played here q few weeks in the
leading male role of Leave 1t to

the beauties of the Capital City. We
use the word beauty in the sense of
scenic investiture rather than apply
it to the girls of Washington. although
in this latter respect. our city ranks
high.
Mr. Foxe insists that there Is moth
ing about him to cause mash-note
showers. but the fact that the lead
ing artists i'm America are continually
calling upon him to pose proves him
to be just what his pictures verify
one OF the handsomest young men of
the theatrical world.
Earle Foxe is a regular ''he" man
too, first coming into the limeIight
