CARS GOING WHERE
MOST NEEDED
In the Exercise of its power to op-
erate all the railroads as a single
unit, for the best interests of the
country as a whole, the Railroad’s
War Board since May 1 has ordered
113,420 empty freight cars moved
without delay from one railroad to
another, regardless of ownership.
The latest orders sent 2,450 more
cars to the grain-producing country,
4537 to the lumber states of the
South and others to territory where
the need for cars is most urgent.
Because of the unified policy of
railway operation adopted by the
Railroads’ War Board, despite the
most terrific pressure ever inflicted
upon the railroads of the country,
millions of tons of government sup-
plies, including lumber, munitions
and materials for government con- |
struction, have been transported by
the carriers without a hitch this year
and without interfering to any extent
with the regular commercial traffic
of the country, which, too, has been
increased to vast proportions by the |
war. Despite the abnormal traffic in- |
crease, the Railroads’ War Board's
policies have reduced the unfilled
orders for cars from 148,627 on May
i to 83,776 cars on August -st.

neapolis before his Johnstown stop.
In each city he will speak on Amer-
ica’s part in the war, and it is certain
that he will bring a message that
every workingman in this part of the
State will wish to hear.
The Ex-President’s acceptance of
| the invitation to speak at the local
Red Cross-Workingmen’s rally was
received a few days ago. Several
other National speakers have sent
tentative acceptance and it is expect-
ed that within a few days the full
' list of speakers at what promises to
be a record-breaking rally, so far as
attendance is concerned, will have
been arranged. Announcement of
the names of other speakers has been
withheld pending definite assurance
that they will be present.
Labor organizations in Cambria,
Blair, Clearfield, Indiana, Somerset,
Westmoreland and Bedford counties
joined in the local committee’s invi-
tation to the Colonel to be present
at the big rally, and his letter of ac-
ceptance he declared that he was
| more than pleased to have the oppor-
| tunity of speaking before the labor-
ing men of Western Pennsylvania,
upon whom depends so much with
America at war.
The rally will be held in Luna Park
the city’s biggest playground and ar-
rangements have been to care for a
crowd of 50,000.

WOMEN
Factory work is not a pleasant occupation and aside from
that it is poorly paid—teaching is arduous and requires con-
stant study and you are subjected to long vacations without
pay ;—clerking means long, tedious, tiresome hours.
Nowhere will you find such pleasant well-paid work as is
available in the modern business office. Why not enter busi-
ness? You will find the work carries you among congenial peo-
ple—the work is not severe and the salaries are geod. Your
time spent in preparation is short and the cost comparatively
small.
Women are being accorded high places in the business
world of today. It is practically the only line of work where
you can draw the equivalent of a man’s salary. We train you
for, and assist you in obtaining pleasant and lucrative posi-
tions. !
