Learns Lesson From Army

x industry learned valuable lesson from the gov etnment in it's method of organizing army of fboooo0 in hurry. The od-tme method Of Ewing out" men for the various grades and offices vhs altogether too slow, there not enough fore n or department heads in the country do it with ctt absolutely crippling industry.
 t is stated that from the time is hired ntiI 1t is ascertaned whether he is fitted for any 5rticuar position the cost is from few dollars to steo. with of about sso. Also it is nized that large per of the labor turnover is due to placing the wrong the job, one having tie wrong kind of skill.
 The usual procedure when seeks employ nient is to turn him to foreman who proceeds to find out whether the possesses the skill he claims only thinks he does. He is placed in actual contact with the work the employers expense.
 But when the United States faced with the psoblem of organizing great army of millions of men m hurry, there had to be something different There ws organized the committee classification of per sonne and the problem solved with degree of saccess which far exceeded the fondest hopes add antcipstions laid the old belief that the only way to find out what do is tq let him have a try at the actual job.
 Like all good rules, there few exceptions but they small to be almost negligible. Another secret of the committees lay in that it re-

The answers printed in the test correct answers which the tradesmen themselves actually gave not answers given in handbooks. schoolbooks or by some technically trained manager engineer The cues tions were carefully worded and their meaning plain. The result that could be rated by these tests satisfactory than by the old personal try-out method of selecting employees
 It has been ascertaned that this oral trade test such as was used in selecting for various grades and positions in the army be administered in employment office ten minutes less and that the applicants in 90 per cent of the will show when put on the job the of ability indicated in he oral trade test

Hope and a Warning

! With the announcement of the American Legion of it's drive to secure million members for that or sanitation came the warning of General John J. Fershing cautoning the American Legion against per hitting itself to be drawn into politics and become the tool of any party or faction.
 2 Up to the present time this warning has not been necessary, the contrary the Legion seems to have
 made every effort to keep out of politics. Nevertheless ths warning the part of the head of all the Amer can armies becomes particularly significant because twould that more than General Pershing might be accorded preferment at the hands of the American Legion
 < The American Legion was formed in Paris last March the first caucus held in St. Louis, and the first convention will be held in Minneapolis November 1o-12.

Nevertheless, the young ganization has been admonshed all sides to keep ics skirts clean of petty politics to of itself school of patriotism and of the greatest forces for good the country ever has known. To this end it is insisted that the American people will back Pershng to the limit as draws the line which it may not step" The first efforts of the American Legion ate be applauded. No criticism along the lines of which General Pershing yet be laid at their doors. Here's continuation of glorious mission.

 The extent Of misery among children in Turkey is frishtful. There are many Waifs wno are the offspring of Arme- nian mothers and Turkish fathers In Crfa alone I was told that there are several thousand Armenian girls home less after being released from Turkish harems. Most of them are mothers or about to become such.
 Ordinarily the Armenians are settled farmers or traders, while the Kurds. who prosecute them at the instigation of the Turkish government, are pas toral nomads. But at present the Ar menians are nomads too for most of them are homeless. They are living like an army on the road. All the way from the Caucasus to Adana. Aleppo and Jerusalem you find them on the 1 byways, and Bagdad is full of them They are too tired to think about ven- geance. All they want is to get the scattered survivors of their familiss together again and to build up as vel as they can their ruined homes.

Learning a Trade Right

The Wisconsin Apprentice the official publication of the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, gives the ready impression from its contents that the appren ceshp law of that state has afforded the opportunity to many young men-and to some not so young-to industrial schooling under circumstances that attained highest results and brought the greatest benefit alike apprentice and employer the basis of efficiency and mutual understanding.
 Numerous instances cited in the current issue of the Wisconsin Apprentice of the entire of the law, of apprentices who have made their mark and of the interest taken in the measure by big in institutions, the industrial commission and by Wisconsin people generally.
 "The high cost of living" says the Wisconsin Ap- prentice something which the average individual thinks applies things which he has purchase from the other fellow We think paying too much for this and for that quite ready to condemn other people for charging too much for their commod ties and service. but does it to sufficiently that perhaps services and own commodi- ties costing others too much? Perhaps we are be- ing paid for days work that could conveniently do in one-half the day. Perhaps we have taken an hour and half to do job that could be done in one half hour. The consequence is that somebody is going pay for service than that service worth In turn. that affects the things that must pay; and the thing goes Every little stream swells the pond Efficiency in labor is bound to have it's et feet the cost of living This is a suggestion that even apprentices think with profit"
 Whether & young mans present occupation is viewed by him possible golden chance just job is well brought to mind in the following from the Apprentice" by Edgar A. Guest:
 JUST A JOB Is it just job that is yours to hold, A task that offers you much gold so much With greater goal in view?
 What do you see at your desk loom, Or the spot you fill in life's busy room? Merely flickerng lamp that burns
 With sickiy light the mill wheel turns And the same old grind in the old ways With all the tomorrows like yesterdays Is it just job, just task to do,
 So many pieces to build anew?
 So many figures to add. and then
 Home for a while and back again?
 Are you just a clerk in a gaudy shop,
 Pleased when customer fails to stop Finding my joy in the things you sell,
 Sullenly waiting the quitting bell?s
 Are your thoughts confined the narrow space. And the dreariness of your present placef Is it just job, golden chance?
 The first grim post of a, fine advance
 The starting place the road which leads To the better joys and the bigger deeds
 Do your thoughts go out to the days to be? Can your eyes look the drudgery
 And in the distance the splendid glow Of the broader life that you too may know? What is your view of your circumstance,
 Is it just job golden chance?

To Take South Course.

Mineola, N. T., July 7.-On her re-
turn trip to her base in Scotland the
British dirigible R=34 will take the
southern course, leaving the United
States at some middle Atlantic port
and heading directly for Spain. This
announcement and the further state
ment that the giant airship would
leave her anchorage at Roosevelt field
here within the next "a hours on her
homeward flight were definitely de-
cided Upon last night by Major G. H.

In order to relieve the four huns

the anchor ropes Of the R-34 during
an electrical and wind storm last
