Service Men Should Take
Back Their Pre- War Jobs
BY ROGER W. BABSON

Babson Park, Mass, Dec 5-Men
who had good jobs before they en-
tered the service should take these
jo' back. even If they do not
want to stay in them forever. Men
who did not have jobs before
should go to school and become an
expert in something. The best in
vestment anyone can make Is in
practical education whether it is
business. or mechanical or a pro
fessional education. especially
re ommend training which will
make men experts in distribution.
This includes storekeeping. outside
selling, advertising, market re-
search, etc.
Cd Fivehundred thousand small
stores have been closed by men
who have entered the service. Dur
ing this time there has been no
increase in the number OF chain
stores. Hence, the postwar COM
p, tition will be less.
(2) The population of the Unit
ed States is increasing at about
100000 per year. This means that
there will be several million more
retail customers in the postwar
days than there were before the
war.
ca 1t will be easy enough after
the war TO manufacture goods, but
in order to keep the factories go
ing the goods must be sold. The
entire postwar employment situa.

MIST
RECEIVERS GOLD

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. - (Pl - A
new process which uses an cleo
trical mist to recover gold, plati-
mum and many other valuable
metals and to clean the impuri-
ties out of water and food was
describedF today at an American
Chemical Society symposium.
The electrical mist picks up
metals and impurities SO scattered
and in such small particles that
they are invisible to the eye. The
mist is so efficient that it concen-
trates enough metal to be valu-
able, especially in war shortages.
The electrical mist is fog of
ions, which are electric ally charg-
ed particles. All these particles
become electrically charged due
either to losing some electrons,
the smallest known particles of
matter, Or to taking on some extra
electrons. -st
Every kind of matter, from the
SKIN Oh human nanQs 10 u HedNy
solid like gold, continually is los
ing or gaining few particles, in
the form of ions. Ions are always
so small as to be invisible.
Normally these electrified par
ticles are not numerous. The new
processes produce them, in bill
lions, so that they would look like
mist if they could be seen.
The new processes are basee
on use of new synthetic resin
whose own particles ionize yer.
easily. AS rule these resin ion
nave too many electrons, ant
hence are negatively charged wit
