YANK FIGHTERS INDEXED AFTER “OCEAN VOYAGE Many Transfers Made after Arrival | Abroad to Raise Efficiency of Force and Supply De- mand for Trades (Correspondence of Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN ENGLAND, sAug. 6.—When a soldier leaves the United States he should not feel certain he is going to win glory on the battlefield in France. Whether officer or enlisted man he is subjected to further scru- tiny in England and in France an* until a little corps of keen eyed and careful officers have completed the examination*no one can tell into just what part of the big army machine he is going to fit. tt There are in England camps where | every man who passes thru is “trade indexed.” This is especially true of one camp where a long part of the airmen and motor transport forces arrive shortly after disbarkation. The records ‘accompanying them show what then men have been doing in civil life and a further examina~ tion of-them and a scrutiny of the demands often déermines the “part they are to take, sometimes only for temporary duty but in some cases for an indefinite period. From this lot are selected the men who will go into the big repair shops at‘once. Men experienced in elec- trical work are sent to stations where their service is most needed. Orders for automobile experts are filled and not infrequently the men in com- mand of the station are called upon to supply men for following, for a time at least, exactly the same kind of work they were doing in the Uni- ted States before their numbers in the draft were called. A big hospital is being erected at one camp. The money for the ma- terial was furnished by the Red Cross. The work is being do’ by the army. The construction of the buildings is not materially different CERO eee 3 | | City News \) oO) Harry P.

They will be heid there only so long as their work on the structure is required and then they will rejoin their; organizations unless detailed for other work. Officers engaged in fixing the trade index of the army have boast- ed that from the ranks of the na- tional army there may be found men who can do any class of work* re- quired, from grinding a diamond to working“on the rifling of a big gun. feeur net ait Ee STOCK TRAFFIC _ DESPATCHED IN SPEEDY STYLE Reports fromthe various railroad offices show that stock conditions and traffic this year are far ahead of any previous year for some time. Notices have .been received at the office of Secretary of Live Stock Board Fred L.° Thompson, showing that cattlémen thruout this section of the country are this year displaying much more anxiety over traffic con- ditions than has been the case for some time: Some gtockraisers have ordered cars as far ahead as the latter part of September, thinking that by plac- ing their order for cars now they will be sure of having them for the time when they are needed. An unusual condition is exerting itself this year in the early sale of stock, which are bringing very high pricese It is a rule among the cattlemen to ship their light stock early and the heavier stock later in the season, but this season they are selling their stock in the early market. Conditions of stock this season Is better than has been the case for some time past. There has been Penty of rain thruout the cattlerais- ‘ng country the past few months and very few stockmen are complaining °f drouth, According to Mr. Thomp- ‘on, this year’s stock market will be one of the largest in years.

Tne reason for the increase of college men in the the marine corps at this time is accredited to the fact that many of the men just becoming of of age wished to finish their college year, while the older men, finding themselves within a few weeks of obtaining their degrees, waited so they might have the added advantage of a thoro education. Thru an arrangement with colle¢e authorities, marine corps recruiting parties visited many of the principal universities and colleges just before commencement. Since the marine corps draws all its officers from the ranks, enlist- ment requirements are of the highest. For this reason the sea-soldier service attracts the college man. He readily sees that he will be one of many picked men and have every oppor- tunity to use his brains as well as his muscle. Training in the marine corps is not! only intensive but is highly individual Shockley Service Sales Corp.

One man and the right kind of newspaper space will sell more for you than four to. five clerks or salesmen without The more salesmen on your payroll the more ad- vertising space you ought to employ to keep the clerks and sales- If you believe in advertising as a salesman—and surely you do when you see it making others about you rich— the only way to make your advertising pay is to keep it work- ing as regularly as your other salesmen: You would fire a clerk who worked only one or two days a week.
