U. S. PREPARING TO
 TREAT INSANE SOLDIERS
(BY United Press

Washington, Geo. 5.-Of all the American soldiers who will be inval- ided back from European service, twenty per cent will require treat ment in insane asylums. Shell-shocll and similar maladies will affect at least this many, in the opinion of Dr. William A. White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington.
 Congress has voted him funds to expand the hospital on these esti- mates: That ten per cent of the 2,- 000,000 soldiers who will see service abroad the first year will be invalided home; that one fifth of them will be temporarily or permanently insane.
 Because his institution may not be able to care for all the patients, Dr. White has been given authority to send the men to hospitals throughout the country, the government paying for the service.
 q will not estimate the number of men expect to treat" said Dr. White.

HOW l AM DOING MY BIT
 TO HELP WIN THE WAR
(By Eugene E. Potter, Locomotive Engineer, N. r., N. H. & H. Rvl


 Engineer, N. r., N. H. & H. Ry.)
 New York, Oct. 5.-Staying on the job and saving coal are my two most valuable contributions to the country in it's present crisis.
 Railroad labor has never been as scarce as 1t is today. The draft has taken on many men and many moro have volunteered The railroad reoi- ments which are helping France were recruited from the employees of the railroads; and the roads were short handed before these men volunteered The first great duty of every railroad man IS, therefore, to work as hard as he can and to remain on the job.
 l have been railroading for over forty years. 1 am at the age where many men retire, and I have been working much longer than many other railroad men who are receiving pen sions. But I'm as fit as a fiddle and able to do full days work with as little effort as a man thirty years younger. As long as I'm physically able to work I'm going to work And during the present war I intend to see to it that l keep physically fit.
 As a locomotive engineer l have another way of helping. This is in the saving of coal The man who doesn't know anything about railroad ing would be surprised to know how easy it is to waste coal in a locomo- tive. A delay on a passing siding. poor firing, the actual running of the engine, careless firemen allowing coal to fall off the sides of tanks and each side of gangway. hooking fire too much-all these are causes of coal waste.
 l run my locomotive so I can get the most out of her with the least amount of coal. The saving of one shovelful in eight means about one ton a day and with our more than 1900 engines in service on this road, together with all other roads in the United States. the total would mean many thousands of tons saved daily.
 Another important factor is the necessity for manly honesty among railroad men in reporting violations of safety precautions, such as im- proper Tagging, failure to use fuses at proper time Accidents would be reduced if engineers and other rail road men would only help to bring up the standard of efficient and safe Tagging by reporting to the officials of the company violations of the rules. Accidents are not only dangerous, but they decrease the efficiency of the road in doing the work necessary for the government and the people at a time when every ounce of effort must be effectively used.
 The way to win this war is for every man to cooperate and do his share to the best of his ability. We have to help each other, and we all have to bend a little
 The railroads are doing a gigantic work for the government. They are doing it well. and all railroad men are together for one object-the of the war.

WEST AGAIN LOOKS
 LIKE FIGHT CENTER
'by Il. C. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Corresponden+

'by h. L. Hamilton, United Press 1 Staff Correspondent.)
 New York, Oct. 5.-The west hat tleheld of the old days, when twenty round scraps for worlds champion shlps used to come frequently, again LOOKS like contender. It may be. even, that an effort will be made to legallze the sport in some state near the Rocky Mountains.
 Jimmy Coffroth promoter of many big show before the voters of Cali fornia decided they didn't want crook ed light promoting in their midst. has been east looking the thing over. Coffroth owns a big racing plant at Tijuana, just across the line in Mexico. few miles from San Diego.
 Coffroth, while he insists he isn't going to do any promoting himself. nevertheless admits there is a chance fight arena may be built at his rae ing plant and intimated that some big dolngs are in the otfing.
 CoHroth was east osJensibly to look at some race horses in preparation for the opening of his race track in Mex ico. He probably did come east for that purpose, but he brought the fight idea along, also, evidenced by the an nouncement that offers had been made fer scraps featuring Hghtweights who are now bidding for a chance at the crown of lightweight Champion Ben ny Leonard. These boxers are pre- pairing to pack and go to Mexico,
 Then along came Jimmy Johnson with the declaration that he was go- ing to the far, far west with Ted Lewis. The welterweight champion, Johnston stated, is going to indulge in some of those four round affairs they have out in California. The fact that Willie Ritchie has again donned his fighting togs and is doing four round stunts, also, looks favorable for match for the worlds welterweight championship between Ted Lewis and Willie Ritchie, the battle to be staged over the almost forgotten forty-fve round route in Tijuana.
 Efforts already have been made to make it possible for Jess Willard to defend his title. Jess declares when he fights it will be for no promoter but himself, but he might be induced to change his mind if there was no other place to fight.
