A Nationwide
Employment Bureau

With the return Of the discharged
soldier from overseas the problems OF
employment, unemployment and: prop
or employment rose to paramount I'm.
portance, where they have remalned
ever since. All organizations that
were at all qualified to cope with the
problems lent every effort but none OF
them worked more effectively than Tue
Salvation Army.
1t was not new work Tor the SalVa'
ton Army, merely an old JOB en-
iarged and broadened. For many years
through many an unemployment Crisis
the organization has successfully con-
Quoted what is probably one OF the
most efficient interstate employment
-gencies with branches IN every large
city throughout the length and breadth
Of the land.
During the last year The Salvation
army found employment for $4,000
men and women The positions found
ranged anywhere from the lowest po-
sitiCns of unskilled labor TO the most
highly specialized professional work
with, Of course, great prepondcrancc
toward the former, for in employment
as in everything else the primary OBJ
jcct Of The Salvation Army is TO help
those who cannot help themselves
Nor does the work Of The Salvation
Army stop with fitting the job to the
man. II makes the man tit the job as
well. Those who apply Tor work shah
~ and down at the heel are given
rood clothing and neat shoes IN order
hat they may apply for the positions
10 which the Army sends them wish
10 physical handicaps. Scores OF sol
liers discharged from the army with
little CT no money have found warm
friend. financial aid and free sun

Although the Western World has De-

him. do not even dislike him.
More than that, consider II an
honor to fight him-because Carpen'

With his head bowed as tho
abashed by his own thoughts Of the
man who will attempt TO strip him
of the highest honors in boxing in
Jersey City on July 2. Jack Dcmp.
sey thus delivered himself OF his
opinion OF the human qualities Of the
French challenger.
II am the champion" he continued,
but I am proud OF the opportunity
to meet Carpenter"
The champions tribute to the
Frenchman came In the course Of a
honey" chat in the cozy sitting
room OF his trainers dwelling and
was a reply to a question submitted
by an outsider. who had asked. do
you hate Carpentier?~
Dempsey did not hesitate with his
answer.
what do you think Of the French
man as a fighter" he was asked.
Hes great one" the champion
said "A tough one and one that
should not be taken too lightly. He
can hit hard enough for anybody
and is to be reckoned with at any
stage"
what are you going to do after
the fight. win or lose 7" asked him.
Sometimes you are laid up for a
couple Of days, but think about the
first thing will do after my affair
with Carpenter Is all cleaned up is
to pack up and go to Salt Lake to
see my. mother. After that do not
know what I will do. 1t all depends
upon whether I win or lose.
