American Legion
Observe National
Employment Week

F11ty-tnree posts or the Amerl-
! can Legion in Arizona and the
Arizona State Employment Service
+, has joined forces to observe Ma
tional Employment Week, calling
attention to the skills and matur-
| ed experience of men and women
over 40. it was announced here
today by Bill Short.
Basic objectives of the week, set
May 1 to by proclamations of
President Roosevelt and Governor
r. T. Jones for the Nation and
State, is to assist all unemployed
citizens, veterans and non-veter-
ans, and especially competent men
and women over 40, to find gain
full employment.
Employers are being asked to
check their production processes
and work methods to determine
which occupations are particularly
suitable for the employment of
older works, Bill Short said. They
are urged to get in touch with the
state employment service, which is
primed to supply competent work
ers in every desired line of work.
At the same time unemployed
veterans and other workers are
encouraged to register with the
employment sevice, rounding out
I the campaign to match the right
job with the right man.
The American Legion is carrying
out its second annual observance
of National Employment Week, in
which churches, fraternal and civic
organiza tions, industry and labor
have boosted the drive for employ
ment. In each case state employ
ment services throughout the Ma
ton "the largest job exchange in
the world" have provided the ma
chinery necessary to bring the job
less man and the manless job to-
gether.
Progress in the placement of
world war veterans is reflected in
state employment service records
showing that the active file of
veterans seeking work during the
past year declined 27.1 per cent
| from 1898. Veterans make up a
considerable percentage of all
workers over 40.
Placements of veterans in prl-
vate industry during 1899 totaled
, / O9O for Arizona, showing a 1876
=, per cent increase over the preced
;, ing year despite decline of one
J, third in the number of new appli
cations received. The proportion
of veterans placed by the service
in relation to the total number OF
placements almost doubled in the
first month of 1910 as compared
with the same month last year
increasing Arizona's high stand
! ing among the states, statistics
:, showed.
i Concrete results of last years
!, drive, quoted in the presidential
: proclamation of National Employ
{ ment Week, were a third of
million jobs filled by the public
employment service Throughout
the Nation during the month IL
which the special week occurred
1t was also noted that placement
proceeded at an accelerated rat
in the following month.

 The party left Hollywood on March 30, flying to Seattle to meet the cruiser and guide Casey Moran who had gene from Ketchikan to Seattle to meet the Brunsons. From Seattle the Stella Maris slowly cruised up to Southeast Alaska, stopping often fer hunting and fishing and to give it's passengers opportunity to take movie shots of the scenic views.
 Bcyhcod Dream
 Brunson, real estate dealer in Hollywood says that this trip is the realization of a boyhocd dream, something he has wanted to do all his life. The real estate man has hunted in Mexico, British Columbia and in many states ok the country. His hobby is collecting guns and knives. and the pilot house of the Stella Maris shows that Brunson is an avid collector.
 In his collection of knives is a Mexican riding crop, in the center of which a short saber is concealed. If the Mexican policeman strikes a victim and the man grabs at the crop, he will have the crop, but he will be confronted with a short flex- ible steel saber in the hands of the mounted policeman.
 Must Return By June 15
 Brunson, who has leave from jury duty, must return to Hollywood by June Is. He probably will go to Seattle on his yacht and fly to Call ifornia.

War Moves On Today's Board
BY J. W. T. MASON

Renewal of German assaults on purely military objectives in the English midlands and elsewhere may indicate that the German high command is returning to its original plan of campaign, based on effortS to demolish war factories and crip- pie the British air force. Bombing houses and civilians in London causes temporary confusion but 1t does not contribute in any major way to helping Germany obtain mastery of the air over Britain and destroy British productive capacity.
 Reports of neutral observers all show that the sufferings of London civilians l. not indicative of serious weakening of Britain's combat power. Had it been otherwise, thi' long promised invasion should now be under way. The primary reason why the Invasion has not started Is because the Germans estimate Britt lah defensive strength has not been overcome by the alr offensive.
 Prom military standpoint it te impossible Co associate the bombing of London with the strategy Of ln- vaslon. The London attack must still be regarded as a separatf maneuver denlened to weaken Nflls ish morale cad for the psychological effect on tllo German people.
