Labor Available for Farmers

l.. ]. Allen, head OF the U. s. EN-
ployment Service, Newark, announces
that at tie present time considerable
number of men are available who
would be glad to take positions on
farms. Some of these men are exper-
fenced. Every farmer who is in need
of help should communicate with the
nearest employment Office in his local
ity. The employment offices nearest
to Burlington county farmers are al
5th street and Taylor avenue, Camden
and at Room %, Municipal Building
Trenton.
Employment offices are also being
maintained by the U. s. War Depart
ment at the mastering out camps
The officers in charge come in contact
with the men before they have been
discharged, and it is their function to
direct them to places where opportun
tiles are offered. The officer in charge
of the employment department al

Cole, whose address is Building No
928, Camp Dix. He desires to know
the number of men needed in each
locality, the experience required,

stating their wants and what they
offer, they may secure the help they
need.

"The piston is in the form of a
solid iron rod that enters the cylinder
through hole pierced In the middle
Of one of the ends" writes Henri
Fabre, "and Just large enough to give
free passage to the rod, without let
ting the steam escape. This rod is
bound to another iron piece, called a
crank, and finally the crank is attached
to the neighboring wheel. The
piston, advancing and retreating in
turn in the cylinder, pushes the crank
forward and back, and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side of the locomotive, the same
things are taking place by means Of a
second cylinder. Then the two great
wheels turn at the same time and the
locomotive moves forward"

DR.. William M. Kester, of Borden
town, who until recently was attached
to the United States Dental Reserve
Corps, having received his honorable
discharge with recommendation for
the officers reserve for the regular
army, received his commission last
week. In the event of his re-enlist-
ment, which is probable, it will be for
a term of five years. DR.. Kester, who
is one of the City Commissioners, has
more than two years Of his term to
serve, but in the event of his re-en-
listment he will resign as a member
of the governing body. This will ne
cessitate the holding of special cleo

To solve the problem of unemployed
soldiers the War Depart
ment has ordered that no man be dis
charged from the army against his de-
sire, until such time as he can obtain

on Saturday that orders had
been telegraphed to all department
and division commanders at Secre-
tary Bakers direction, to retain all
men who desire to remain temporarily
in the service, without prejudice to
their subsequent discharge to take
Another aspect Of the
new policy is that the families of
married soldiers will continue to draw
their allotments from the government
during this temporary service. For
the time being, at least, the War De-
partment will have ample work to
keep the men busy in handling de-
of other troops, storing
war material and in similar tasks.

The old French word "trompe''
meant a pipe or tuba, and the term
trompe was applied to the apparatus
by which the blast is produced in the
Catalan forge. 1t is a simple, effec.
tive and ingenious contrivance for
producing a continuous and equable
blast, but its use is restricted to To-
calities where a fall of water from a
height of several yards can be OBJ
tanned. The principle is that water
can be made to fall through a pipe
in such way that 1t will draw in
through side openings a considerable
amount of air, which by a simple and
ingenious arrangement can be utilized
as a constant current or blast, and
which has the merit of costing almost
nothing. 1t has been utilized to a linn
tied extent elsewhere than In the de-
partment of Ariege, in the South of
France, where 1t was formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made in that district for more than
800 years, but the use of the trompe
blast was not introduced until the end
OF the seventeenth century.

Return of Soldiers Indefinite

Advices received yesterday by Adj
jutant General Frederick Gilkyson
from Washington indicate there is no
prospect of early return to the United
States of the Twenty ninth and
Seyenty-eighth divisions of the
American expeditionary forces, which
contain the bulk of the Jersey soldiers
now overseas. The only unit of
either of these divisions scheduled for
early return is the 104th trench mortar
battery of the Twenty ninth Division.
Neither of these disvisions have vet
been designated for an early return 10
the United States.
AS to the process of sending troops
home, Adjutant General Finely, OF
the United States army, advised AID.
iutant General Gilkyson that the
movement of all troops overseas is left
to the discretion of General Pershing
and for this reason Washington i.
unable to give information as to th,
probable date of return of the units if
which the Jersey soldiers are serving.
The Twenty-ninth Division is mad,
up of old national guard men from
many states, and was trained at Cam,
| Mcclellan. The Seventy i
made up OF national army men, an,
was trained at Camp Dix. The las
information as to the location of thes
divisions in France was that th
Twenty-ninth was at Bourbonne LIE
Bains, and the Seventy eighth a
Semur. The remainder of the Eighty
seventh Division, which trained a
Camp Dix, was at st Nazaire. TIL
Forty-second or Rainbow Division
which contains large number {
Jersey soldiers, was at Ahrweiler.
1t is apparently the policy of Geners
Pershing to move troops in France
German territory as parts of the arm
of occupation, and then transfer ther
to ports of debarkation for HON,
coming. The Twenty-ninth an
Seventy-eighth divisions are sIowl
moving up to German territory.

If wooden dishes are to be waxed
to render them impervious, they should
be made of good quality Of pine 81
deal with an even grain, and the inside
should be sandpapered quite smooth.
Then, says Camera Craft" while the
dish is being made thoroughly warm,
to just a little short of the scorching
point, using an ordinary kitchen oven
the wax should be melted and heated
in a water bath on top of the fire
With both the dish and the wax as
hot as can be conveniently handled, the
coating is applied With a brush that
is not too stiff, as evenly as possible
working in warm atmosphere. Wher
the fire has gone out the dish may be
put back in the oven, so that the WOOD
will absorb more of the wax than i
otherwise would, leaving it there unit
the next morning With little prac
tice one is able to make workmanlik'
job and such dishes, particularly TO
large sizes, make a great saving in ex
pense.
