But in the A. G. O., where she
works, they have a plan to "stimu-
late office efficiency" They have in
stituted a system of "records." The
clerk is marked" on her record
and her record is determined-h how?
Why, by the amount she does-by
the number of letters filed! So the
flip girl at the next case, who does
not care, slips q Smith into Smyth
or Jem into jim and the letter is
lost; but who knows? And her record
is better than my friends record. She
files more letters.
There are inspectors who go sleuth-
ing down the aisles to see that each
filing clerk is going through the mo-
tlons of chucking a letter into a
jacket and is seeming to be busy.
And that is how it happend the
other day when it became necessary
to "cut the force" to meet the cut
by Congress in the A. G.. o. appro-
priation, the intelligent directors
of the filing department of the A.
G. 0. notified my little friend that
her efficiency rating was Every low
and that her job would terminate on
Saturday.
And she wondered if after all, she
ought to have filed for numbers no
matter if the letter did get into the
wrong jacket and the mother never
did get that last message from her

LETTERS FROM THE HEART

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 12.-
l know little girl who files letters
for the government They are let
ters about soldiers-dead soldiers.
sometimes wounded soldiers. lost SOL
diers and soldiers who have lost their
pay checks, their insurance or their
record.
These letters are in the office of
the A. 6. o. (adjutant generals Of
fice) and they are from mothers
sometimes, and other dear ones. And
sometimes they are from buddies-
fellows who saw Bob die and took
his last words.
They are often ill3terate letters,
scratched on all kinds of miscellan-
eous kinds of paper, in pencil or with
scratchy pens and blotchy ink. They
are touching letters, often full of ap-
peal and heart yearning. They are
from hospitals, prisons, camp and
trenches.
And they all go into the yawning
steel files of the A. G. O. with Jack
cts and titles and letters and num-
bers, to show how they have been
classified, and where they are to be
found.
Ny little girl friend gets inter
ested in these letters. Although she
has to stand on her feet all day long
! and file, file, file, she can't help get
ting the human touch of the letters
and she tries to see that the right
letter gets into the right jacket, and
that the ones that belong together are
put together.
Because if they once get into the
wrong jacket, they are lost-hope-
lessly lost. And some mother, sister
or sweetheart might never get he1
boys last message.
So my little friend works care
fully.
