There is a continuous tinkle of tele-

to his choice of a future career.
Would you like to talk things over

is delighted to have this opportunity.
"There are men here from the
War Camp Community Service, the

he says. And McGillicuddy, being a
good lrishman, picks the KNIGHTS.
The vocational expert from the

for more than an hour, and at the

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 Champaign,
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. Were jest plain hash
singers here. You'd better 20 to
the Salvation Army if you 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.

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
mess world might not be worth moro
than 81 week at homework, and
why should her luckless family suf-
fer from such haphazard meals and
Indifferent cooking as hers might be?

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.
