Set up in 1913, in Lagss, capf
tai of Nigeria, British West Afri-
ca, the first job of the employ
ment exchange and registration
office was to register all unem-
ployed. From. there it went on to
register employed workers. Teams
travelled long distances register
ing carpenters, masons, mechanics,
filters, messengers, and clerical
employees. Later, trade testers were
brought from Britain to develop
efficiency standards, after con-
situations with the, trade unions.
Now artisans passing the tests re-
ceive certificates of competence.
Featured here is 21-year-old Azu
Onyekwere job hunting through
the exchange. She success of the
Lagos Employment exchange and
the vast British development
works being organized in Nigeria
under the Colonial Development
and Welfare scheme, has led to
the introduction of other ex-
changes at Benin, Ibadan and Sa-
pele.

Quentin Brelsford of Ohio Wes-

From the local fans point of

 ping Legion June 15

Despite the fact that eleven Elks batters made first and two got home by virtue of six walks, two hit batters and three errors, Mor- rison of the Wachusett last night registered the second no-hit game of the season when Douglas broke away from it's month-long losing streak to turn the Elks away 5-2.
 It was Morrison's first game with the Douglas club, and the win came just one month to the day from the Firemen's last win when they bumped the Legion l2-7 on June 13. Although. the Bremen tallied six errors last night, three Of which put men on first, Morri- son was given fair support through cut the game.
 Locking especially well for Doug las was Manning who has been playing greatly improved ball since being shifted from the third sack to the catcher's slot.
 In addition to playing heads-up ball and keeping base runners close to the bags. Manning pulled outs with three fast throws when he caught Specht attempting a steal to third, stopped Smithberg going into second, and made quick pickup to heat Palmer to first.
 Dodson, hitting three times in four trips, was heavy batter for the day, and except for Logan making an exceptional catch of a hard driven ball into left field, the Doug las short would have made it foul fer four.
 It was McGhee all the way ir the last of the third when he almost single handedly retired the Elks McGhee came in under Cantillon's and Shows low driven flies fol , the first two outs, and picked Werners infield grounder up fol the throw to first and the thirc out. Playing second base, his days tctal was two assists and thre( put-outs.

 Casey Stengels aging but sprightly Oaks sprouted another victory-7-3 over Hollywood to stretch their PCL lead to two games. Second-place San Fran cisco was leveled, 8-3, by Los An geles
 Neill Sheridan's two-run triple which put him in position to score the third tally sewed up Seattle's win over Portland in the first inn ing. Kewpie Dick Barrett spaced eight Beaver hits for his 10th tri- umph. Herman Reich scored the first Portland run and drove in the other Jake Mooty was the loser.
