TVASTnN'iTO.V. Aue. 9. Labor turnover the shiftm of workers from on Job to another costs the Unltefl States S2.500.0CO.0C0 a year. How het to stop it is th problem with which efficiency men and employment manaper are always wrestling. "It Is difficult to reiPzn that this country murt pay cu much," .-aiI Col. Arthur Wood, assistant to the pcrftary of war, yestrlHy, in rornmentlnc on the numtcrs of discharsjd service men already .employed who are applin f-r better Jots. "Hut ftich is tho rase, ant! I believe that a Krf-at lal of thi.turnover can bo directly attributed to the lack of a sys.tem of industrial training, wherein men who nre unskilled but have the ambition to heroine skilled men can be trained for killed work. Soldiers Want to AiHancf. "Many discharged t-( n-k-e men. upon b'injc confronted with tho old Jobs they held before the war. say, "What? io back to thr old humdrum way? Never!' Are they not rlßht? They have come b;ick better men In every way, with higher ldeMs and ambitions. These nien took position which to their minds were Inferior, but only with th idea cf ' later, sei kinc: something better. Indications nnv point to the f.iet that they are applying in increasing numbers to our employment bureaus fo- better places, not because they bold any particular pruds:0 strains? their employers-, but becauo they ffi no immediate chance to better themselves where they are. Inquiry at .some factories discloses that workers are often assigned to tasks for which they are not suited, and where no provision is made for fitting them to th job. "Those returned soldiers of ours are certainly entitled to training. Kven If they were not, it is to the advantage of the employer to pive It to them- Industrial training means tenmwork and efficiency, and consequently increased production. I Kay this not haphazardly, but from results obtained by stich courses In pome of the largest industrial plants In the United States. One of the lArjrest electrical plants In the world has had such a system for some years, and outcome has been most Mtlsfactory indeed." Col. Woods has lone advocated the establishment of industrial training classes in plants, not only to iip-prade present employes, but to make !t possible for discharged soldiers who have no trade to realize their ambitions, and become skilled workers.

Hli only thing stingy about a Chalmers is its

JL use of gas. It has small appetite. It travels

a long day's march on a few gallons. Every drop of gas that goes in the tank is held to account. There's no waste. That is because Hot Spot takes the low: grade, inferior gas of the day, and prepares it so that the engine can get out all the power that nature put in. It is aided by Ram's-horn, and the results are de luxe. Put? your foot on the little button of any Hot Spot Chalmers and get a new sensation. It isn't the 90 H. P. kind, but it gives quick, decisive action and so "silky" you scarcely know there's anything going on "up under the bonnet'

It's action that doesn't burn your pockctbook, nor jar your fenders loose. i 11 ei
