"O millions Of housewives
in the United States the
y published reports that
immigrants, however few
n number, were again beginning
n arrive in the country have in
.nired but one all-important, all
absorbing question-Are there any
servants among them?
Of course, business men and en-
movers generally are also intensely
interested, for many of them be-
leye only a free inflow of workers
from the great human reservoirs
overseas can solve the critical in

living itself, Of physical comforts
which come after the days work
Is done, and which, after all. are
more important than business itself,
because they represent the fruits of
oil endeavor.
Each day, therefore, that these
reports Of incoming vessels have
appeared in the newspapers thou
sands of anxious inquiries have
poured in upon agencies supposed
to be in position to supply the
desired information. 1t probably
would surprise the average person
to discover from how many quar-
ters these queries have come. They
have come not alone from thou
sands Of points in the seaport cities
but from communities very far in.

hamlet in the land is suffering from
the same dearth of efficient do.
