South Bend Only City in the State to Experience Help Shortage.

South Bend Is the only city In the state experiencing a shortage of labor, according to a recent announcement from the office of the federal director and chairman of the Indiana free employment bureau in Indianapolis. In all other cities including the state capital the number of applicants for work and the number of Jobs are about equal. The. shortage here is particularly ncticeable in the building trades. Contractors are rinding it almost impossible to get labor and as a result considerable construction planned at the opening of the season has been held up for weeks, with little prospect of a completion this year. Discontinue Itcports. Weekly reports on the employment situation in basic industries have been discontinued after having been sent out for more than two 5 ears by the United States employment service. The reports served to indicate to employers and industrial interests the exact situation of the labor supply. Now there is no longer a. demand for such information and the federal labor authorities have deemed further reports unnecessary. Returned soldiers and sailors have of late applied in sufficiently large numbers to employment bureaus for positions that employers can get help without the difficulties they experienced during the war. Only in South Bend has the demand for labor failed to decrease. In Indianapolis the soldiers' and sailors' employment bureau reports that 162 skilled men have registered and are without work because jobs cannot be found.

Has No Pranks on Geiieral Humidity

The morning rays of the eastern sun, had they not been tempered by the half-drawn shades in Klinor UartdtV.s gold-and-white bed-chamber, would have glared reproachfully on an nntidied room. The face of a small clock of the hii;h chiffonier, its hands . pointed to the hour of nine, seemed als to stare in reproval at the litter of filmy, lacy feminine garments flung over seeral chairs. And the bed wasn't made. Instead the bed-clothes sprawled in di. array, hut it couldn't be said that the scene was without charm, for they semed imbued witn the charm of that slender figure beneath them. As she lay there, a mass of gloriously golden hair framing her exquisitely tinted complexion, she reflected youth triumphant, alie. vital and care-free. A Miiile played about h-r heavily-lashed, closed lids, and about her lips, resembling the open petals of a full red rose. Still asleep, she turned on her side, as if to turn a modest face. from an impudently-intruding sun. I:i turning her bare arm. scarcely lss white than the coerlet on which it lay. was flung over a small table at the side of the bed. Noiseless v, a small glass of wa-

Elinor finished her breakfast in haste, kissed her mother good-bye and hurried downtown. On her way down to headquarters, her thoughts centered mainly, not cr her anticipated plans, but on a young man, her sweetheart. George Waters. She pictured him now in imagination, as he had xtood before her a week before, clad in Undo Sam's khaki glory, his young handsome head and figure trimmed like a battleship for his country's service. And she recalled how he had laughed tolerantly at her feeble protests that he was foolish to go. and had told her to go ahead and amuse her pretty little self while was gone. He'd come back, he told her. in time to escort her again to dances and pink teas. Dances and pinkteas, indeed! She'd show him! Presenting herself later, to her mother's friend.

Directors of the Chamber of Commerce met at the Oliver hotel Monday afternoon when arrangements were made to Vke care of the army transports that will arrive in South Hend, July IS. The transport is the nrst great transcontinental motor convoy that has ever .attempted to cross the continent. There are SO trucks, passenger cars, trailers and motorcycles, all of which are full equipped to make the entire trip across the United States without outside aid excepting for gas, water and oil.

The

Welfare Lai

The feature of the Welfare Loan society which most impresses both the public spirited citizen interested in the civic upbuilding of the community and also the investor is that part under which The American League of Welfare Loan societies is authorized, through its auditors and accountants to make frequent and careful examinations of all of the business of the society and to regulate the books and accounts so as to keep the affairs of the institution in perfect condition, the assets safe from loss and see that the organization is run according to law and careful business precepts. Thus the business management is co-ordinated along lines proven safe and successful from year3 of experience and research and all bu3iness. accounting, auditing, checking-up and loaning is done along standardized plans and systems, resulting from the unified experiences and results from many such societies. Thus the modernized policies and plans of many are used, rather than the theory of persons not experienced in the business. The safety resulting from the help 'of a "big partner" like The American League of Welfare Loan societies, always ceaselessly vigilant and never tiring, insures success from the start.
