confident that we will be able to
provide them with work immedi-
ately.
Some OF them have the impress
sion that we are actually employ
ing men right here at the office.
"Some of these men have not had
sufficient food for days. One ex-
service man who applied for work
yesterday told us that tea and a
little bread were all the food that
had been in his house for three days.
He is married and has a baby two
weeks old. His rent is in arrears
and he will be put out unless he
can pay something on It at once.

the old City Hall. Market street
above Fifth, is fast approaching the

total to near 500. Fully as many

Although men continued to pre-
dominate among the applicants,
Miss Blanche J. Swayne. former as
sistant secretary OF the Consumers
League OF Delaware, who is in
charge OF recording the names of
women, was kept busy today. Dur
ing the morning ten applicants made
known their abilities and their
needs.
"The women applicants" said Miss
Swayne." are mostly of the skilled
type, well educated and often we'll
trained. l have a number of ap-
plications from expert women book
keepers, stenographers and women
trained in clerical work, who can
given excellent references"
Miss Swayne also noted that while
the bureau was receiving numerous
calls for maids, women for general
housework, cooks and Mattresses, she
had received very few applications
for such work. One woman today
made application to the bureau
for a companion" Miss Swayne
has selected a candidate for the

will be acceptable.

Miss Smith.
