4,OO0, Disabled in War, Have Applied
 for Federal Relief

St. Louis, Oct. 4.-More than 4,000 discharged soldiers, sailors and ma rines, disabled during the war have applied to the government for further hospital treatment, according to an announcement from national head, quarters of the Red Cross in Washing ton. This is said to be a very small percentage of the former service men who need medical and surgical care for physical troubles developing after their discharge.
 The importance of reaching the 50,- 900 discharged disabled soldiers, sail OTIS and marines with information that they may call on Uncle Sam, through local Red Cross chapters and the pub llc health service, TOT further treat ment, free of any cost and with com- pensation paid also, if the need is the outgrowth of war service, will be strongly emphasized by speakers in the fed Cross membership cam palgn November Z to II.
 Que to misunderstanding and forgetfulness surprising number of disabled men, who have been dis charged and scattered throughout the country, do not know of the benefits which are still theirs," says the state ment. Back to the hospitalp after having donned 'civies' and tried to about the most difficult order a sol- dier wants to hear.
 "Ihe public health service, with it's recently established network of dis trict offices, and it's 32 hospitals, is depending upon the 37O0 Red Cross home service sections and their II ,00O branches to serve as the community agent in searching out the more than 5000 disabled service men who are known to be at large. It is probable that half this number need hospital treatment. Twenty-Five hundred tu- bercular soldiers are listed in three gulf states, and to date less than 200 have been persuaded to take hospital treatment.
 'The process is simple. All form CT service man has to do is to report to his nearest Red Cross. Arrange ments will there be made for hlm to receive a physical examination by one of the district public health officers, and if his trouble is the result of his service in the army or navy, he Will be given transportation and admit tance to a public health service hos pital.
 'I'd rather die than go back in the army! is an expression often heard by Red Cross workers who find that the men do not understand just what the United States public health service really is. They do not realize that it is a separate part of the government, and not connected with the army or

STARTER DRIVE NEEDS
 CLEANING

w. A. CcP. asks: Can you sug- gest what is wrong with the starter on my 1917 car? When l press the starter pedal, can hear loud buzzing but the engine does not turn over.
 Answer: We believe that this car is equipped with the popular form of starter drive, in which the motor pinion gear automatically moves along the armature shaft and meshes with the flywheel gear, the shock of starting the engine into motion be- ing cushioned by the action of a coiled spring. The meshing motion is produced by the travelling of the pinien along coarse thread cut on sleeve surrounding the armature shaft and your trouble may be that the pinion does not move along, so as to reach the flywheel the cause

Make Your Own Toys Movement Sweeping
 the United States
(From The Detroit News.)

With the high cost of living en- crossing attention, grown-ups are apt to forget that youngsters are sadly affected by the high cost of playing. Due to unusually high prices of wood- en toys, many children are forced to do without the luxury of a little red wagon and all the wooden joys of toyland. It is to combat this evil that course of toy making has been added to the manual training work at Northern High Evening school.
 This course is open to both men and women so that fathers and moth CTS who wish to, may learn the art of carving toys and decorating them attractiyely. Such toys as wagons and Wheelbarrows, turtles that crawl, parrots that nod and chickens and ducks on rollers can be made at small cost.
 One object of the toy making class will be to make a supply for Christ mas. Such toys as are made for among children who might be over- looked in the general rush of the holi- day season.
 Besides toy making, the evening woodwork courses will include spe- cial instruction for women in mak- ing accessories for the home, such as pattern blocks for designs, book ends and crumb trays and picture frames.
 For men who are interested in the more advanced and commercial work courses will be given in pattern mak- ing and wood turning by machine. navy. The public health service hos pital is simply civilian hospital to care for civilians who have been dis abled in government service.
 "There are one or more of these hospitals in each of the thirteen Red Cross divisions in the United States with 254 medical officers, 433 nurses and 4,144 employees on duty. The hospital at Danville, N. Y., is for ner- vous and mental cases. Those at Evansville, Ind, and Fort Staunton, New Mexico, and Greenville, $. C., are for tubercular cases. Twenty two of these hospitals were formerly known as marine hospitals.

of this probably being that there is dirt or sticky oil on the thread, which makes the pinion revolve with the shaft instead of turning on the thread. Try squirting the pinion and its shaft with Kerosene to re- move sticky substances. This may free the pinion, so that it's unbal- anced weight may be sufficient to prevent it's turning on the thread and to cause it to follow along it, so as to engage the flywheel gear.

During the year of 1919 we passed
through one of the most unusual
periods of Industrial real estate and
many have wondered what would hap
pen TO the enormous plants that we're
erected and operated for war work
and what the general conditions would
be during the period of transition
which We are now passing through
Some predicted there would be an
enormous surplus of factory property
which could not be absorbed before
passing Though period of depression.
Others thought the war plants would
be turned Immediately by their owners
into plants producing products needed
during peace times.
Soon after the armistice was signed
manufacturers came into the market
for large manufacturing space that
could be used Immediately, thinking it
the opportune time to get out OF them

ufactured for many years and into &

IN All Kinds Of factory property. and

to believe that this year would see
some OF the largest sales OF factory
property consummated.
Plant Builders Farsightcd Men
This country owes great deal to
the iarsighted manufacturer who was
wise enough when erecting plants for
war work TO so construct and Law them
out that they could be used to advan-

The changed position of the United
states from an enormous importer to
a large exporter started many new
lines of industry. principally among
the chemical manufacturers, shipbuild-
erS inc GRADES of tool work and many
otner lines, most OF which heretofore
had been imported from European
countries. This change of position. OF
course, brought the waterfront prop
critics OF th.s country into q new posi-

started, and that meant, OF course. the

and that is, there seems to be no just cause and no real grievance for hay ing called this nationwide strike They were indirectly forced into it It is not strike between workers and employers, but between revolu. tionists and our American govern ment.
 It is becoming more and more ap- parent that under the cloak of the Great Labor Union of America is hidden the secret workings of So- cialism and anarchy. This you can not fail to see if you have read some of the principles and doctrines of one of the main leaders of this strike, William z. Foster. It means taking from you by force your own personal possessions. It means the reign of terror and anarchy, such as the world has witnessed the last two years in Russia.
 Are you ready and willing to in- dorse such doctrines? Do you wish to cooperate with radical socialism to overthrow our American govern ment? That is what you are doing if you are in sympathy with this leader of the labor union, William z. Foster. That is what is underlying the present steel strike throughout this country.
 Listen to another of his bold doc trines on race suicide. He says: "It is foolish for workingmen to un- dertake to raise big families"
 You know, my friends, that no Catholic can accept and practice such a doctrine, for it is most emphatically condemned by the Catholic church as grossly immoral and destructive of the state. Hence no practical Cath olic can approve of his doctrines or help propagate them. And if this is the secret underlying object of this nationwide strike, the spread of SOC ialism and race suicide, you cannot sanction the strike and be a practical Catholic in good standing.
 If you do not return to work now, I fear you shall do so later to your own sorrow and your own loss.
 Weigh this matter carefully. Think it over seriously. The good of your selves and families is at stake. This movement in principle and doctrine is not one loyal and true to your Ameri- can government, but against it. You were true and loyal to your flag and country in it's struggle for the free dom of the world. Be true and loyal now in defending that freedom pur- chased by the very blood of the flower of manhood of this nation"

either just cause or serious grievance. Hence I am led to conclude that you must be in the wrong. It has been shown that your wages are just even higher than is paid in any industry in the world; that you have been treated justly by the corporation; that the great majority of the men are perfect ly satisfied with their wages, their treatment and the hours they work and that only small percentage work long hours. T
 The country and the world at large needs the production and that is why you are working more than eight hours. And the men themselves ad- init they are being paid for it, and want to earn the money. Where, therefore, is any just grievance :? Now there remains one cause for the strike, and that is that the union be recognized.
 This apparently will not be done, and the reason given for refusing to recognize the "union" is that by so doing the power and right would be given to the minority to rule the ma jority of the workingmen, which is positively wrong and dangerous principle
 To make this clear to you, let me give you an example: Suppose you had small factory or a store or coal mine and employed 40 men, and six of us came to you to dictate to you whom you may hire and whom not, and what wages you must pay, and if you refused to do as we requested, we would prevent men who are willing to work for you from going to work. Would you think our actions just and right? Is that not interfering with mans personal liberty? Would not personal liberty have become a mean ingless word?
 From what has been said there can be but one conclusion drawn,

Abuses Congregation
 To Co Back To Work

Declaring that the steel strike is not Ca strike between employee and employers, but struggle between revolutionists and the American gov erpment, Father Henry Geibel, pastor of the St. Charles Roman Catholic Chufch, advised the workers of whom his congregation is composed to re- turn to their places in the mills of the United States Steel Corporation and "remain loyal to American prin- ciples.' Father Geibel said, in part:
 "The disturbed civic conditions of our community at present and the danger that they may bring hard ship and suffering, not only to those who are the cause of these conditions, but also to the innocent workingmen, their wives and children, prompt me to make a few remarks regarding these conditions. Let me impress we'll upon your minds that no one has asked me to make any remarks, neith- CT officials of the mill, nor any citizen of this community. Neither have I spoken to any official of the corpora tion on this matter.
 I am not here to defend or con- demn either the corporation or the worldngmen, but as your spiritual leader to call your attention to the right or wrong of your acts and deeds. have watched the movement, read the public sentiments, read the investigation by the Senate committee, and have thus come to my present convictions.
 If you have taken part in bring ing about this strike, you must have been in the right or in the wrong. There is no neutral ground. To be in the right you must have a just cause and serious grievances to be correct ed.
 Now in all this investigation thus far by the Senate committee no evil dence has ben forthcoming to show

.FRATERNALsORDERS
 AID RED CROSS DRIVE

One of the strongest units, both in numbers and effectiveness, in the ranks of the great volunteer army that will be on the firing line in the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November to II, is being mustered into ser vice by the fraternal organizations of California, Arizona, and Nevada, com prising the Pacific Coast Division of the America Red Cross, according to a statement issued by division head quarters at San Francisco.
 In response to requests that they appoint committees of three or more members to cooperate with the Pa cific Division and with the local chap ters of the Red Cross, more than if teen hundred lodges of the various orders, including women's auxiliaries, such as the Rebekahs and Eastern Star, have already notified division headquarters of the appointment of such committees. It is expected that by the time the national enrolment of members of the Red Cross for 1920 is launched, fully two thousand lodges will have committees actively at work among the members in the states of the Pacific Division.
 These committees will form con- meeting link between the Red Cross and the fraternal world, telling the story of Red Cross achievements, the inspiring program of present and future activities, and urging the sup port expressed in dollar annual mem- berships.
 In the list are represented the var ious Masonic orders, the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Elks, Eagles, Woodmen of the World, Red Men, Moose, Foresters of America, Druids, Ancient Order of Hibernians, and Native Sons of the Golden West.
 For the splendid response of the lodges, Pacific Division Headquarters of the Red Cross attributes a large share of the credit to the hearty CO., operation of the state officers of the various organizations. In several in stances these officers supplimented the request of the Red Cross with letters over their own signature point ing out the necessity for such assis- tance if the roll call is to be success.
 Masonic lodges received a letter signed by Francis V. Keesling, deputy grand master; Charles Albert Adams, past grand master; and c. M. Vol lenberg, past master and president of the Masonic Homes of California, who were appointed for the purpose by Bradford Webster, grand master. The Native Sons received a letter from w. P. Caubu, grand president. The Eagles state president. F. J. Sanford, took similar action. Mat Ar hold, grand chief ranger, Grand Court of California, Foresters of America, called upon his brethern to rally to the Red Cross cause. I. I. Boak, head consul of the Woodmen, with kead- quarters at Denver, sent Re-: Cross appeal to the camps of his order in
 The result has been a response that is tribute to the spirit of hu- manity and truest Americanism that prevails among the fraternal orders.
