LABOR SCARCITY IN THIS STATE Did Problem of Unemploy ment Gone; More Jobs Than Workmen >^n^mploy aecording to figures given out by the State Employment Bureau here to-day. During the present week the bureau had 12,793 offers of jobs to be filled and only 5,262 appli cants, while during the week pre vious there were 8,292 openings this week exceeded the applicants l>v 5,282 and lash week by 3,757. The unemployed soldier needs not be idle long. Last week 3,675 jobs were offered to returned service men and only 1,574 were found to fill the places all at good wages. The shipyards would like the bu reau to provide 1,005 riveters at once and the Goodyear company, of Ohio, has applied for 500 able bodied men weighing 140 pounds or over for production work, offering 40 cents an hour to beginners and 60 to 80 cents for skilled men. The offer has gone beginning with jobs aplenty at home. A peculiar condi tion is shown in the wages of skilled mechanics as compared with those of college graduates. A State College graduate engineer, for example, is leeeiving only SI,BOO for his serv ices whereas the bureau has been able to place mechanics at $2,000 a year and over. Sewer Permits—Permission has been granted by the State to Bald win township, Allegheny county, to make extensive developments along the lines of sewer extensions, sewage plant and water supply improvement. Other communities granted permis sion to extend sewers include the city of Bradford. McKean county; tlie borough of Elizabethtown, Lan caster county; the borough of Lew istown, Mifflin county; the borough of Dunmore, Lackawanna county; the borough of Throop, Lackawanna county; the borough of Forty-Fort, Luzerne county, and Myersdale. Vcneral Quarantine The State Health Commissioner is empowered by a recently passed resolution of the advisory board of the State Health Department to quarantine cases of veneral disease when "in the opinion of the attending physi cian or the county representative of the State Department of Health the character, occupation, habits or neglect of treatment make those in fected menaces to the public health." This is a radical step in the control of social disease in Penn sylvania, which has not heretofore come under the control of the State Health Department to this extent. Physicians are not required to re port such cases, but the State authorities are empowered to estab lish quarantines the same as for any communicable or contagious dis ease where the conditions warrant, the usual penalties to apply for violation. The advisory board has also empowered the State Commis sioner to regulate funerals, under takers being forbidden to provide clothing, draperies, carpets, rugs or artificial flowers for funerals in pri vate houses and restrictions are placed around funerals of chicken oxi victims. All newspapers notices of such funerals must state the cause of death. Another resolution of the advisory board requires all householders, hotel or lodging house keepers to report all persons in their employ not being attended by a physician who have any outbreaks on their skins, who have sore throats or violent coughing or are too sick to play or work. These names must be turned over to local health authorities for investigation. 1 Middletown To Ask Permanent Memorial to Soldiers Mrs. Lizzy Weldy, who spent some time in town as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F.
