|, scores that are being received datiy from local and state employers. With practically no exception, employers are taking back the men who left their employ to enter the services at the call of their country.
 Our system in the matter Is quite simple. The soldiers when they arrive in camp upon their return from over seas fill out data cards which are transmitted to our office. We then communicate with the employer noti- fying him of the return of his former employe. Upon receiving a favorable answer, we notify the returned soldier and thus the man and the job have been brought together through the me- dium of little teamwork on the part of all concerned
 We have now started another innc- vation. We are answering all adver- tisements for male and female help that appear in the local newspapers. Upon receiving favorable answers we imm ediately connect up qualified per sons with the positions open. Ali of this service is free to both the en- ployer and the employee and once thoroughly appreciated. 1t will mean that when jobs are sought and labor IS wanted. only one thought will prevail and that will be to use the good of- fices of the United States employment service. There is no fee-gra bbins or selfish interest in the office of Ire United States employment service. Tae service Is free to all"
