gars is small in comparison to the
great body of physically handicapped
men who are usefully employed. but
the few have vigorously advertised,
have made a considerable impression
on the susceptibilties of the com.

harvest. A bank teller reported re-
Gently the case of crippled beggar
who deposited In savings account,
after paying his living expenses, $40
a week.
THAT the beggar cripple has been
permitted TO ply his trade Is q great
injustice to the disabled men of char
acter and independence. The prac.
tice should have been stopped in the
past; IL is absolutely necessary that
It be prohibited in the future. For
with the expectation of our soldiers
who will return disabled from the
front. the public should have no ex-
cuse for associating their prospective
career with that of the mendicant
On the contrary every influence
should be brought to bear upon the
public to show that physical disabil
| ity Is an obstacle, but easily super.
able with character and ambition; and
that the cripple may be, made into u
useful and productive citizen.
'ln several cities there have been
/ inaugurated campaigns to drive the
crippled beggar from the streets, and
give him the alternative of productive
employment or a stay in Jail. Such
| efforts should be initiated in every
community and persevered in until
the unfortunate conception of the
cripple shall exist no more. Such
activity may well be undertaken as
a first step in preparation for the re.
turn of our disabled soldiers and sail
