E. L. Hahn. vice president of the
group and liaison representative to
the central OCD organization, re-
ported at meeting last night that
experienced nurses being called into
the armed services had left hospitals
short-handed, necessitating the call
for nurses aides.
These aides" he said, will re-
lieve the experienced nurses for
more important work"
The meeting, held in Park View
School, was presided over by John

women, with the percentage rapidly
growing.
Some Government agencies have
been slow to recognize the fact
that women are going to be abso-
lutely necessary. War and Navy
Departments have a very good
record when it comes to utilization
of women in their manufacturing
establishments. There has been
more reluctance on the part of the
Government administrators to use
women in connection with Office
work than there has been to use
them in arsenals and navy yards. "
50 Per Cent Turnover.
The great turnover in Govern
ment employees, reaching SO per
cent in the last year, Mr.. Flem-
ming said, represents the greatest
single waste of our manpower re-
sources that we have at the present
moment" He said he hoped that
this percentage would be cut in
half during the coming year

Government jobs are no longer
eagerly sought as in the past.
"A fairly large percentage of &C
ceptable persons will not accept en-
ployment in the Federal service"
he said, land instead of people
coming to us it is necessary for us
to contact people to see whether or
not we can get them to work for
the Federal Government"
Explaining the startling turnover
rate in Government employment,
Mr.. Flemming said that exit in
terviews" showed that enlistment or
induction into military service &C
counted for Is per cent of the sepa-
rations, dissatisfaction with salaries,
II per cent: poor health, II per cent:
pronotional opportunities, per
cent: marriage, 4 per cent, and for
all other reasons 80 per cent. These
figures cover only the separations
in departmental service in the
Washington Metropolitan Area.

The law is designed to prevent

Civil Service Sees
Larger Employment
OF Woman Workers
Monpower Shortage Cited
Peak in Personnel
Due Before July

Due to the manpower shortage, a
Federal force made up largely of
woman workers Is in prospect, Civil
Service Commission officials have
informed House subcommittee. it
was revealed today.
This information was contained in
the report of the subcommittee to
the House on the independent Offices
appropriation bill, assigning Sl4,-
9l8, 400 to the Civil Service Commits
sion for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
The report cited testimony of
Commissioner Arthur S. Flemming
that it is estimated that 5000 900
persons will be interviewed as pros
pective Federal employees during the
coming year by the commission and
that an increasingly large number
Of them must be women.
The $14918,400 for the commits
sion is total reduction of 81 ,759, 900
from the estimates submitted by the
Budget Bureau. The total includes
$4,000, 900 for national defense &C
tivities, which Is S1,178,000 below
the budget estimates and S1,426, $50
less than the current appropriation.
Job Peak Before July.
In reporting the bill to the House
Chairman Woodrum of the subcom-
mittee said that it is believed the
peak of employment will be reached
before July l next. Data laid before
the committee by the Civil Service
Commission shows that, on an an
nual basis, placement of employees
in 1914 will be 1925 900 and in 1943
the estimate is 100000. OF the
total cut recommended by the APP
preparations Committee, $86,600 is
attributed to the denial of funds
for the Board of Legal Examiners.
Representative DirkSen, Republic
an. of Illinois asked regarding the
percentage of women in the group
to be interviewed during the year,
in the light of looming manpower
shortage" Mr.. Flemming answered:
There Is no doubt but that large
number of the total employees will
be women. Woman employees rose
from 266 900 in June. l941, to $4,000
on June 80, 1912 Twenty-Five per

Clean them out at the end of each
season. This helps prevent the
spread of parasites among birds.
Don't paint your bird boxes in
bright colors Birds that today nest
in man-made structures once lived
in hollowed-out holes in tree trunks;
hence, a drab brown or green is your
best bet.
Don't let the English sparrows
take possession of your bird houses
Clean out their nests if they do.
In erecting bird houses, remember
that birds like sunlight. Fasten your
box to a tree or the side of a build
ing anywhere from eight to fifteen
feet above the ground. Don't hide
it in the foliage of tree or the birds
may never see it.
Bird houses hung from the limbs
of trees are seldom occupied.
If your neighborhood has an abund-
ance of cats, it might be well to put
your bird houses on iron poles about
eight to twelve feet high. 1t is also
possible to buy or make "cat guards"
for trees.
The procedure for attracting bird
tenants may sound as involved as
filling out income tax blanks, yet
bird house fans will tell you that
the fun of playing landlord to pair
of bluebirds, tree swallows, ETC., is
well worth any sacrifice of time or
dignity that may be involved in
catering to their needs.
If you want to construct your own
bird houses remember =. the
simpler the better! Fruit boxes will
provide the wood and you can get
easy workable designs from books
and pamphlets on the subject in your
public library. Anyone can send for

for Birds. It is available for five
cents from the Superintendent of
Documents, Washington, D. c.

Church and Home
Facing the Storm.
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

In this hour of world crisis we
are awaiting again to hear the mes
sages of the Cross as vital and I'M
comprising as ever. There is no
other possible relief from fear OF
distress and defeat when it has ap-
preached to the danger point where
courage to 60 on with the struggle
and boldness to face the crisis have
been annihilated.
The reactions of men in days of
trouble differ. Some curse, others
pray. But prayer need not be an
indication of more faith, or of greater
trust in Gods promises. The reason
for our prayers may be fear, or it
may be the realization of our own
helplessness; it may indicate that we
turn to God in our distress because
there is none else to whom we can
turn. Whatever our reasons may be
there is no need of being ashamed
of our prayerful attitude; it is our
privilege under all circumstances as
Christians to prevail upon Gods low
ing care.
The disciples were definitely at the
end of their own resources when, on
the wings of His soaring spirit, Jesus
guided them into realization of
the assurance of Gods presence
which only prayer can give. Shar-
ing His prayer-life with the group
a new world is opened to them, and
instead of despair, which is holding
them back, new hope is born and
a new zest for action is melted by
His intercession.
After the experience in the wilder
ness Jesus realized the importance
of including in the prayer He was
giving His followers to use a petit
ton that would preclude unneces-
sary casualties in the struggle with
temptations.
It is our privilege when enemies
encroach upon our personal liberty,
when they make travel dangerous
by deceiving us to think that the
road is safe, and thus lead us into
error and unbelief to prevail upon
God and submit ourselves to His
guidance.
The more severe temptations gen.
orally follow as result of baptism.
Accepting baptism as his standard
of life it is along this front that the
Christian may expect to be attacked
most vigorously, and it is here, too,
that he may suffer his most shame
full defeats, if he is not always on
the alert and always willing to let
God guide him.
Baptism means the beginning of a
journey which is consummated on
the Cross. It is the conservation to
a service in which sacrifice of self is
the only privilege that is retained.
It is the right to serve at all times
out of infinite love, and, in return,
receive only derision and scorn.
A life born out of Water and
Spirit in Christian baptism often
times serves to provoke temptation
because it is inconsistent with the
ideal of consecrated life to use
detours every time obstacles appear
and make travel difficult along the
main road We should, therefore,
be prepared to defend ourselves, by
resisting the alluring short cuts in
life by which mems allegiance might
be bought without changing their
hearts, and by guarding ourselves
against the illusion that the ways
of the world are too marvellous to
defy.

Bird Houses 60 Modern.


(By Ken Morrison in Conservation
Volunteer).
A furry of blue feathers and
spring is here! Already bluebirds
are singing winters swan-song. Be-
fore long, tree swallows, martins and
wrens will be making an inspection
of the housing facilities available in
your neighborhood. Will they find
a motley collection of broken-down
tenements or some fresh new units,
streamlined in the latest 1913 style?
Right now is the time to get out
the hammer and nails. Priorities
won't daunt you if you're rabid
bird house fan. You'll always be able
to convert an old starch box into a
bungalow for bluebirds or transform
an orange crate into martin man.
sion.
The most important thing about a
bird house is that it be practical. Sim
plicity should be the keynote. Don't
try to pattern a bird house after the
Foshay Tower, the House of Seven
Gables or the Little Brown Church
in the Vale. If you do an ornate
job, the birds will probably pass up
your box for a modernistic model
that is simply yet sturdily con-
structed.
When the bird house bug" bites

in mind:

ably large or small. The diameter of
