pose Of the Employment Service when
II was originally organized in jan
uary, 1918.
At the outset Of the war it was
early recognized that IL the gaps In
the Industrial field were to be filled
those vacancies caused by men being
drafted into the Army-that some
centralized agency would have to
take the work in charge. According
ly the Employment Service was or
-ganized It consisted of q Director
General with administrative Offices in
Washington and a Federal Director
I'm each state with central state Of
nee. Through the several states q
total OF $50 Offices were opened up.
The primary task allotted to the
Service was not the finding Of vacant
jobs, but was, owing to the enormous
demand for labor, searching out labor
in n0n-essential industries and put
ting 1t into wartime industries. Nv
cry possible highway and byway was
searched by the Service in its recruit
ing Of labor for wartime industries
until when the armistice was signed
two and half million men and wom-
en- had been taken from nOn-esseatial
industry and placed into war-tfme
jobs.
Then the war stopped as suddenly
as 1t had started.
The majority Of these two and o
halt million men and women who
had gone into war industries had to
Quit that work when the war stopped
and had OF necessity to 60 back into
other jobs peace-tine jobs. Added
Ito this two and half million was an
|Okher two million soldiers and sailors
to be placed in peace-time vacations.
The task was q large one and
again 1t was realized that unless there
was some centralized pooling Of va
cant Jobs that chaos would be au-
|preme. Accordingly the Employment
Service was given the task OF admin
istering jobs to the jobless. In this
work &c received the cooperation of
the welfare organisations, state. city
and local civic bodies, private indi-
viduals, churches and libraries.
About the same time the Service
took up the cudgel in behalf Of the
j0ble8s, owing to failure OF Congress
to provide the necessary funds IL
faced possibility Of having TO close

than possibility, however, and when
the predieamsnt Of the situation be-
came known Il was again the same
welfare organizations, etc., who vol
UNFAIRLY contributed to the support Of
the Service. Many large private sub
|scriptions were also received. Among
these. and one Of the largest, was 3
gift by J. p. Morgan q Co. OF $1e0.s
600 to carry on the work OF finding
jobs for soldiers. sailors and war
workers.
As result of this cooperation 500
|of the original $50 Offices are now be-
Ing maintained by voluntary subscrip-
|tion and the work OF placing jobless
lis now being carried on at the rate
|of IS, 900 to 10000 q week. OF this
humber an average OF II. 600 are sol
oilers, sailors and marines.

simultaneously with the announce
ment that the United States Employ
ment Service has placed in the last
sixteen months. since the date Of its
organization, 4,557,25s men and
women in jobs was the announcement
made the opening week of Congress
that the work of finding jobs for the
soldiers and sailors must and will go
on. 81
"Since the signing Of the armis-
tice,' said an official Of the Service
I'VE have been greatly handicapped
lowing to lack of funds. However. due
to outside subscriptions amounting to
approximately $250,00 q month
some 500 Offices have been main
tanned and the work Of placing sol
diers and sailors has gone on.
To-day we are placing an average
|Of is, 600 each week. This is made
possible solely through the support
|of welfare organizations, state, coun-
ty and city municipalities and private
subscriptions.
"Bitter opposition to the Employ
ment Service is being waged BY the
private fee agencies who have lost
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars in
fees owing to the governments inter-
ference in their business that Of

LOCAL SERVICE MAN
 GIVES SOME ADVICE
 ONSTORACE BATTERY

Most people are under the inn pression that a storage battery re- ceives and stores up the actual cleo trcity used in charging 1t. On the contrary, the charging of the battery causes certain electro chemical ac- tion between the positive and negative plates in the presence of a medium known as electrolyte or battery solu- tion. This does not actually store up electricity, but produces a chemical change in the plates. When cir cult is established between the ele- ments the active materials of the plates changes back to it's original condition and an electrical current is generated
 This is the valuable information given to car owners by E. l.. Gielow, manager of the local Willard service station.
 This chemical process which takes place while charging, is reversed in the discharge-the plates reabsorbing from the solution, the acid which was excluded during the charging-thus forming a lead sulphate, which IS again converted into its original form in the plates when the battery is re- charged and the cycle Is completed-
 Keeping the gravity of the cells up to a certain point and also filled with pure water. are the two most import ant things in the care of a storage battery, and with this little attention will give the best service over the longest period of time.
 Every car owner of course, is not equipped to give the battery this care but our service station is here for just that purpose, regardless of the kinc of battery the car owner has.
 "Other things to be careful of are to never allow the battery to become overheated. Also, never use a bat tery that leaks. Leaking and over heating will ruin q battery quick! and just as soon as such a condition is noted, the owner should consult al expert without delay"

million dollar bond issue of state bonds to finance a system of paved truck line roads. The interest on these bonds will be paid by an automobile tax, averaging from S10 to SIP a year. Such system might easily save several times that much to any automobile owner in the wear and tear on his machine.
 The state of Colorado has laid out a very extensive plan for a good roads program during 1919. Colorado has been one of the few states that have continued to build good roads year in and year out The people of Colo rado appreciate what a good road means to them, and they have treated the building of good roads bond is sues, and the paying of good roads taxes, as a business proposition, an investment and an asset.
 Colorado engineers have compiled very interesting data on road use over a road three thousand eight hundred and twenty seven miles in length. Approximately 15 million ton miles of of supplies of one kind of another were hauled over it during the past year Investigation, ranging over a PtIfOu Ol luIte months, proved up I0e Following: Of this 15 million ton miles, 10 million were made by motor trucks, the rest by horse drawn ve- hicles: the total dead weight of traf- fife for this period, covering all clasSss of vehicles, was one hundred and sixty two million, nine hundred and twenty six thousand and ninety eight ton miles, divided as follows:
 Passenger automobiles, 115 million motor trucks, 2S million; wagons. l; million. These figures are approXi- mate and include not only the weigh; of the load hauled, but the weight oi the vehicle as well, and are of import ance in determining the amount oi wear and tear to which such roads in the state are subjected to during the course of year.
 Of Colorado's 42000 miles of stat' and county highways, the traffic O 3.S27 miles has been estimated. Witt the enormous diversion of traffic iron short hauls on the railroad the essen tial need of permanent highways fol the future development of Colorado i! apparent.

GENERAL REDUCTION
 0F PRICES NOT LIKELY
By Harry M. Jewett |. (President Paige Detroit Motor Car.
 Company)

There never has been a time per haps since the Civil War, when both the manufacturer and the consumer have been confronted with such an interesting economic condition as now prevails. Reduced to the simplest terms it is the relation of the price ot commodities to the price of labor and it has been made fresh and interesting because of abnormal conditions brought about largely by the war now happily concluded.
 There is one question everyone would like to have answered: When will the price of commodities fall? The answer is: The cost of living will fall when the price of labor comes down.
 The only way to get an intelligent conception of the price of commodi- ties and possibilities for the future, is to consider labor in it's relation to commodities. We are prone to forget that more than 90 per cent of the cost of any manufactured article is repre- scented in the money paid out to labor. Labor is the governing factor.
 The same thing is true of farm products The bushel of wheat that formerly sold for 90 cents now brings two dollars and twenty six cents be- cause of the greatly increased cost of production. Until we have cheaper wheat it is idle to think of cheaper flour or bread.
 A ton of iron in the ground is worth | 75 cents. When it has been mined transported to the mill, converted into steel. forwarded to the machine shop and fashioned into automobile parts, it is worth s1.500; and practically every penny of the enhanced value is labor i charge.
 It is quite evident therefore that the cost of the labor must come down | before commodity prices can be re- | duced. Such a reduction of the wage scale must be general-a national movement-and the process, as I see | it, is going to take ldng time. | Of course certain articles were ef- | fected by war conditions and fictitious | prices were put on them, but since | the armistice was signed these have been reduced to competitive prices regulated by the cost of standard la bor. For further reduction in com modities the standard price of labor wound have to be reduced all along the line, or the quality of the goods l IONcfeO. NOW l1e SIdnQaTU price ol labor as paid in the United States today I do not think is in for a reduc- tion for some months to come. These are the reasons why we re- gently announced that we had defin- itely fixed the prices of our LinwooC and Essex models at s1555 and S206t respectively. We are convinced thai skilled workmen, the kind employed in the manufacture of these cars, vii continue for some time to come tC receive the wages they are now earn
 ing and we cannot look elsewhere than to labor for a reduction of oui manufacturing costs unless we change our standards as to the quality of oul
 product. This we do not propose to do
 As a matter of fact the situation i. one to inspire confidence and op
 timism, for just so long as labor i. kept busy at good wages will bust
 ness be good and prosperity be th' lot of all

PIERCE ARROW SAVES
 S1,344 IN s MONTHS
 FUR LUMBER OMPANY

Speedy deliveries accomplished by a two-ton Pierce-Arrow motor truck saved George E. Waters and company, lumber dealers of Baltimore. S1344 in delivery costs in nine months, accord ing to performance records maintained by the company. The company figured earnings by comparing the lower cost of truck haulage would have cost.
 None other but a Pierce Arrow truck could have accomplished this" said the local dealer. Its superior speed and it's mechanical perfection which precluded loss of time through breakdoWns enabled the truck to make these definite earnings"
 The truck, in fact. competed with a truck of another make. The 4o-mile round trips which each truck made in delivering lumber offered excellent op- portunity for comparative tests. While the other truck was making only two such round trips, the Pierce Arrow

RIDING THE TRACKS

It is a common failing of motor car drivers in winter to ride the car tracks, because in this way the ice and snow near the curb are avoided. As matter of fact. however, the prac- tice is dangerous and in addition wears ridges on the side of the tire tread. The best advice that can be given is to avoid the car tracks, especially in winter. and this applies also to frozen ruts in the road.

with it's superior speed would be mak- ing three. This extra trip meant added earnings of about SIS. a sum which more than naid the daily operating costs.
 Loading and unloading were accom- plished in less than five minutes with the aid of rollers built into the plat form bodies.

RIM PAINT

It used to be the fashion to recom- mend shellac as a satisfactory medium for painting rims. As q matter of fact shellac has the fatal characteristic of peeing off after brief service. Graphite paint or even ordinary paint is better for use on the rims than shellac.

APPLYING CHAINS

Anti-skid chains must not be applied tightly to the tires, as so many cal owners do to eliminate the clinking ol the loose chains against the fender Tight chains cut the tire badly. Fur ther, the chains should be inspected at frequent intervals and any eros links that have become worn or have developed sharpness should be re- placed.
