GETS JOBS FOR MANY
Statistics Show Uncle Sans
Record as Employment Agent.
During 10 Months Period 10000 Per.
sons Were Placed Each
Working Day.

Washington.-The record Of Uncle
Sam as employment agent is given in
statistics made public by the depart
ment of labor, which cover the period
from January, 1913, when the United
States employment service was organ
lied, to June 30, 1919, the end of the
governments fiscal year.
Ten thousand persons were placed In
Jobs of all kinds each working day fof
the Is months period, according to the
report, without costing them or their
employers a cent and at a cost to- the
whole country Of but S1.34 per place
ment. The saving in fees, to the men
and women directed TO employment by
Uncle Sam in cooperation with states
and municipalities, is estimated at not
less than $10,O00OO0.
From January /, 1918, to June 80,
1919, 7,10S,655 workers of all kiIds
were registered by the United States
employment service for employment.

only after the service has received as
surance, oral or written, from either
worker or employer Of placement.
Placements were made of every kind
Of worker; from common and domestic
laborers to high-salaried professional
and technical workers. The recruiting

the last year and half.
The common labor placements were
but % per cent of the total of slightly
under 100000 persons placed. The
other II per cent consisted of skilled

vide into two grounps: The "war
period" from January, 1918, to the end
of November, 1918; and the "readjust-
ment PERIOD" from December, 1919, to
the end of last June. The first period
was primarily one of ''man-fnding )"
the second one of "jOb-finding."
During the war period 3,432, 997 per-
sons were registered for employment
and 3,44E093 referred to jobs, the
great majority of them in war industry.
Returns from the workers and employ
ers show that 2,69S,SS7 were placed.
During the readjustment period the
figures show that 3,432,997 persons
were registered for employment, 3,002,-
2M referred to jobs and 2,256272 were
reported placed. Included In the reg
istrations were $4,000 soldiers and

gers and crew took to the boats and a
few hours later encountered a violent
storm which Mrs. Hayes said dashed the
waves to height of 80 feet and tossed
the lifeboats about like cockleshells.
The refugees were finally rescued by
the Peruvian ship Mantaro, but only to
be confronted with a new peril.
The Mantaro carried a travelling
menagerie and the lions, tigers and
monkeys were driven frantic by the
storm. The larger animals made des
perate efforts to break from their cages
and their bowls added to the terrors
of the storm, while the monkeys actu
ally did escape, and fled, chatterins
wildly, to all parts of the ship.
Mrs. Hayes arrived here on the SAINTS
Luise from Valparaiso.
Capt. w. T. Crossely commander OF
the ship, said that 800 persons lost
their lives in the storm, which ravaget
the port of Valparaiso July Is.
the Santa Luise was taken 100 miles
out to sea to weather the storm. which
sent to the bottom about ten ships, in
Guiding some interned German liner:

farmer living in Nippenose valley,
was walking with neighbor when the
dogs with them began barking and
acting in such an unusual manner that
they investigated and found them be-

They withdrew and called off the dogs,
The bear made break for liberty as
soon as the coast was clear. Going
back TO the den, the two men poked IL

cubs, but, being unarmed, they did not
attempt to remove them. That the
bear should leave its young unprotect-

The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-23

Black and white stripes, since early spring, have been very good for sepa- rate silk dresses and for suits, as we'll as for tOpcoats. Now the new woolly fabrics are appearing, and they show these stripes in wide and narrow ar engagements.
 Then there is the black gown with the white hat; that is the most effec- tive. This season they are wearing over the white hat, which is sans trim ming, q black, lacy veil. This makes the costume even more effective. The veil does not necessarily cover the face-in fact, 1t rarely does-but Its lacy pattern is so distributed that the white showing through the black of its own.
 Another black and white combina- ton is that of the white frock, usually of taffeta, and the black picture hat. Black shoes and stockings are worn with this, and then, in the most start ling instances, a red or brilliant green parasol Is carried. White silk jersey frocks form effective portions of these black and white combina- tions.
 Hats Without Trimming. The hats, as a forecast of fall head gear, are mostly without trimming. The style Is all in the line, but how that line Is obtained Is complete mystery. Upon examination the riddle | only becomes more complicated. There seems to be nothing there except a band of something stiff to fit about the head. The crown and the brlm are entirely without inner stiffening or frame. The trick does not allow for explanation. It is all in the wizard who causes it to be. Yet, when this seem- | ing mass of velvet or satin is put on the head it takes a shape and form that commend it to any wearer. It seems to have been made to set off at it's best that face alone, and while you cannot say that the hat is round or oval or square or long, still it has shape.
 The felt blocked hats worn with | ulluStdSOH SOWnS hIt loulu do bO crown and as to brim as well. The brim turns up at the same distance all the way round and the only trimming for the hat is silk band of the same color. Hats of this character in beige and taupe worn with navy blue suits are effective. Then there is another variation of this hat done in duvetyn.

From all signs this will be de- cisive season in Paris in so far as fashion creation is concerned The de- signers seem to have taken on their old accustomed stride. They have turned their efforts unreservedly to leadership In the world of style.
 To aid them in this crucial moment there are arriving from the United States, from South America, and from England hosts of buyers and fashion experts to watch the latest develop ments: This Is almost new experi- ence. At least 1t is a revived eXperi- ence, for through the last five years only the most favored of buyers have been allowed to cross the water and only a few of the dressmakers have kept up their work with anything like pre-war vigOr.
 American women during the war have developed a style all their own. They are dressing now as suits the climate and their life and their pur- suits, which are quite different from the French woman's. And one sympa- thizes with the buyers, who wonder whether their clients t-home will re- fuse to accept the wonderful things brought over from France. If their eyes are trained only for beauty they will be dazzled into letting all their accumulated notions of dress go by the board and the conservatives at home will not be suited.
 At this time of the year all of France as all of the rest of the world, seeks a cool spot; and so it is at Deau vile and the other resorts by the sea side that one looks upon the fashiOna bly, arrayed crowd of wO1nen and is able to gain some idea of the trend of the times as regards dress. They are wearing the very latest things from French point of view, and, of course, the majority of the fall fash ions will follow in some respects the lines favored just now.
