Misapprehension General
 Regarding Disabled Men

Washington. September 2s.-There ex. ists a great deal of misapprehension in the public mind regarding the disabled soldiers There are frequent anusions to the crippled" soldier. There have been movements on behalf of various undertaking to .help educate the crip- pied soldier" They are Nall misnomers The word ''cripples'' means those who have lost an arm or leg or hand They comprise hardly per cent of the disabled.
 As matter of fact, says the federal board for vocational education. there is scarcely any place for individual or or ganized endeavor in dealing with the disabled men, except in co operation with the regular channels provided by the government. Several campaigns have started in various parts of the country their purpose being, it has been stated to assist these men who have been dis abled and to teach them to do this. that or the other as preliminary to their return to civil life. To advise the pub- lie so that it may understand the sit nation the federal board authorizes this statement:
 At the outset it should be under stood that the crippled soldier is in the vast minority. Statistics show that out of every million men sent overseas ap- proximately 10000 of them will be sub- jects of re-education
 ''Of the 10000 approximately 800 may be really termed cripples. that is, where a man has lost an arm or a leg or most of the fingers of the hand, or lost a foot and so on. Thus 1t may be seen
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-29

that the word cripple is very largely a misnomer and the crippled and dis membered men comprise a minority of those who are disabled.
 PLAN COMPLETED
 There has been decided upon by the United States government, and is now in operation by the government & dis tinct, comprehensive and entirely ample programme of completely caring for these men who are disabled. When a man is first injured he is, of course, taken charge of by the surgeon generals department, placed in a hospital and is given every consideration and atten- tion that medical and surgical sciences and the unlimited means of the gov ernment can afford A great many of these men, almost 80 per cent of them, recover from their injuries and are able to go back in the ranks and perform military duty.
 Tt is in the hospital work that so much misapprehension and confusion in the public mind arises, While the men are undergoing convalescence, steps are taken to keep them busy in various ways, because a mar who has some sort of employment in which he is in. terested makes a speedier recovery. Also much of this work is designed in a scientific way, as. for instance. to exer- else certain muscles which have become atrophied by nonuse and so on.
 Some of these occupations have no value whatever aside from affording en- tertainment and diversion to the patients while others have direct curative value. In this sphere in particular the public imagination has run riot; unin- formed writers have distributed misn- formation and well-meaning people have

New Orleans Cotton

New York, September 2S.--The gov ernment having decided to continue the cotton goods price basis of the last flew months until November 16, there has been more disposition manifested by mills to sell at current levels Goods for war purposes are still being pur- chased in large quantities and in all weights and constructions. Conserya- tive estimates show that nearly half the output is going to the government in one form or another.
 Price fixing has just now reached into about all the principal lines of goods in first hands, and jobbers are steadily applying their differentials on the goods priced at mill centers. Retailers are to hold meeting at Washington next week to see what they can do through war service committee in carrying out price fixing rules to the consumers lowing to the limited quantities of goods
 that will be available for civilian needs in future there is no rush to sell any thing. Business is being booked all the while on ginghams and other lines for
 wash goods for spring and some of ii is in large volume. In most instances the product of mills is being allotted to Customers in accordance with the VOL umes purchased by them in recent years
 Jobbers who have salesmen on the
 road seeking spring business report the advance ofueIS very satisfactory, while spot business is4confned to mer- chandise actually wanted. Several job- bers say their principal business comes from channels with war work rather than from regular retail channels. yet in some sections the retail distribution is very good. Prices quoted are as follows:

TUSCALOOSA PLANS
 TRUCK FREIGHT LINE
Board of Trade Transporta- ton Committee Finds Great Possibilities
 in Project

Tuscaloosa, September 2S.-Acco-d- ing to a report submitted to the Board of Trade by it's transportation committee, the trade or this city can be greatly extended by the establish ment of motor truck lines radiating out of Tuscaloosa to various parts of the county.
 This committee was appointed by the Board of Trade sometime ago to examine into the feasibility of estab- fishing motor truck lines out of here, and estimate the costs and probable profits to be gained in the establish ment of such line. The committee is headed by Hon. F. S. Moody, and has made an exhaustive study of the prob lem.
 According to the committees esti- mate, a two-truck freight and pas senger line could be established for $10,000. Income from these trucks is estimated at $750 per month. with monthly expense of $500.
 It is thought that once the line is put in operation, the advantages to the local merchants and the people of the surrounding towns will be so great that the line will grow until network of truck lines will cover the
 
 only mentions Brookwood, Searles, Kel1erman, Yolande and several other points as being reached by the pro- posed line, but once put in operation 1t is certain that it will grow.
 Many mines in the northern part of the county could be reached by motor truck and coal hauled to the local consumers. Already forerunner of what may be expected this winter in the coal situation .i is being felt in that local dealers are from three weeks to six weeks behind with deliv- cries. A truck line between the city and the mines would relieve the pres sure on local dealers
 Aside from coal hauling the com mittee believes much merchandise and farm products would be moved by these trucks, and made recommenda- tion that stock company be formed to launch the venture.
