first, but could she learn to do vour
work?
When vou are thinking about whether
or not vour job w ill bo in the list of non­
useful jobs, put yourself in the place of
Provost Marshal Crowper, who must
not only get men into the army, but
must see that all the man-power of the
country is working in things which are
useful in helping to win the war, and
then you can figure out just w hat kind
of a job you hold.
The first list went into effect July 1.
There will probably be a large number
of men hunting for useful jobs. There
will be more of them as other lists are
made up.
Maybe you iust happened to get into
the job you hold now and have stayed
in it just because you didn't happen to
get out. Maybe vou have always want­
ed to work in a machine shop or on h
farm but nothing came along to make
you do it, especially after vou got
married. So one can tell yon w hat you
had better do light now, but one tiling
is sure and that is that you had better
think about your job.
