PLACEMENT A LARGE PROBLEM.
Federal Agency to Find Employment for
Disabled Soldiers Confronted by
Serious Task.

Washington, d. C., March s.-There
are fully 10000 men who have been in
jured or disabled as a result of their
services in the armed branches of the
United States forces who will require
aid in obtaining estimate of the federal
board for vocational education, which
has this matter in charge. This is quite
aside from the number who must be
trained anew in order that they may be
able to can anything at all, and these
total up to more than 10000. Any man
who has been injured, and yet, who is
able to do effective work notwithstand-
ing his injuries, should communicate
at once with the federal board for vo-
cational education at Washington, giving
all particulars. The placement division
of the board will take up his case and
see what can be done for him. 1t may
be that with short course of special
training he can be made into very
effective wage Garner. If this training
is necessary, he is paid $65 a month sup
port fund while taking it, with such al.
lotment for his dependents as is nee.
essary, and the training is absolutely
free. When he has finished the course
of a few months, a job will have been
found for him, The federal board is
anxious to learn of all such cases, and
will at once take up the question of
proper training with the disabled men.

New York March S.--Five youths,
ranging in age from l6 to 20, are under
arrest to-day charged with assault and
robbery, following the daring hold-up
yesterday in the financial district of
Milton Strohm, a brokers' messenger and
robbery of Liberty bonds and other Sc
curities valued at S63 900. The prisoners,
three of whom are brothers and all mes
sengers for brokerage houses, the police
say, were associated in the robbery.
Strohm was struck on the head and bad
ly injured and his bag containing the
Liberty bonds and other securities seized.
Information given to the police by
Strohm led to the arrest last night Of
Gustav Mignone, 20, and his brother, An
thony, Is, at their home in the Flatbush
section of Brooklyn. Another brother,
Theodore, l6, was arrested early to-day
in a lodging house, where he sought ref
uge when warned that the police wanted
him. Later the police arrested Edward
Andreas, 20, and Lester Ostertag, IL.
The police say Theodore Mignone con-
fessed to the actual hold-up.
Following the arrests the police found
the bag containing the securities in a
subway station, and the $4,000 worth
of Liberty bonds, they say, were found
under the floor Of paint shop owned

PETR0GRAD HOUSES 5000.
First Year at Y. w. C. A. Hotel in Paris
Great Success.

Five thousand women war workers
were housed at Hotel Petrograd, the Y.
". c. A. hostess house in Paris, during
the year which has just ended and the
daily average of meals served is 500, with
1000 for Christmas day. The hotel
promises to have an even buster year
ahead Of it because of the large number
of army nurses and Y. NJ. c. A. canteen
workers passing through Paris contin-
ually.
Two months ago the Y. W c. A,
opened a second hotel, House Oxford
and Cambridge, To care for the overflow
of PetrogTad guests and with the en-
largement of the hotel for signal corps
girls the Blue Triangle is now operating
three large women's hotels in Paris.
The situation in port cities is even
more pressing. The original houses in
Brest and Bordeaux, each having Is beds,
have'been outgrown and at Brest an old
monastic school has been taken over
Even this seems insufficient to care for
all of the women workers waiting to re-
turn home, though the hostess house has
been converted into a dormitory with
row after row Of cots.

UKR4INIANS STILL
BOMBARD LEMBERG
But There Is Hope of Armistice in the
HOstilities Between Them and
the Poles.

Lemberg, Thursday, March 6 by the
Associated Press --Although fighting is
still going on here between the Poles
and Ukrainians, with the latter bonn
harding the city, there is still hope that
an armistice may be arranged between
the cOntending forces. 1t is believed
however, that before a truce is estab-
lished there win be more severe fighting.
The renewed bombardment of the city
has been attended by considerable loss
of life among the civilians and damage
to public buildings and works of art.
The people move about the city freely
during the day, but the artillery fire is
very heavy at night. An average of 200
shells fall in the city daily, most of
them being aimed at the railway station.
Some projectiles, however, have fallen
in residential sections and two have
struck the residence of Archbishop Ship
tusky, noted Ukrainian patriot. Small
shells have also struck the Ruthenian
church. and others have damaged the
home of Count Pininsky, which is ia
nous for its art gallery.
Colonel Smyth of the British army,
who is still here, has been empowered
by the interallied mission to make a re-
port on the situation The Ukrainians
are said to feel that they have been
treated unfairly by the mission and that
their claims are misunderstood, partie-
ularly by France. They say the mission
spent only an hour with Ukrainian
leaders and spoke briefly, through an in
terpreter, with a delegation of ten
Ukrainians which came from Kiev to
outline the claims of the republic.
The political and military situation
at Kiev is said to be uncertain Petlura
is still at Winnitza and it is reported
that the city of Kiev is dominated by
NJ. Rakowski premier of the Ukrainian
soviet ministry, with whom is associat-
ed NJ. Pietakof of Moscow, a bolshevik
whose father was a millionaire merchant.

Should Train for Housekeeping.

Many earnest HUE women are crop
ing in the dark in housekeeping matters
because Of lack Of definite training. The
millions of young women who go from
business to matrimony have to watch
closely nowadays or their experiments
with foods will take the larger amount
Of the income.
1t does take a great many years and
an appalling number of mistakes. some
of them very expensive, to work out
ones salvation in this line. How are we
the heirs of all the ages though if we
do not profit by the experience of others ?
Bridge builders and architects must
know all about the particular building
properties of each material they specify.
They do not make all the necessary ex.
periments themselves, however, but read
reports Of the experiments of others and
profit thereby,
Women have long been too wasteful
of experimental cookery reports. This
is partly due to the fact that early
popular data on this subject dealt with
elaborate and expensive dishes Progress
has changed all that and the magazine
and newspaper work to-day is designed
to assist in practical every day house
management and cooking.
1t is the unframed brides who must
attempt mastering the complicated world
of home managing and matrimony all
at once that mske the tired middle-aged
housekeepers one sees jogging along in
a monotonous rut.
In simple justice to a new home as an
institution of Importance in the stability
of the nation the young manager should
have every assistance possible. "To do
is to know" the old saying goes. 1t is
the inherent right of every girl at home
to be given the opportunity for actual
experiment in her mothers home. The
mother should be glad to have the young
daughter fussing about the kitchen.
Aside from lack of training, just stop
and think what a handicap the why
bother now" attitude is. Home manage
ment is the most universal business in
the world To master it requires study,
intelligence and diplomacy is the concu-
sion of the director of food economies of
Armour & Co. The successful home man
ager deserves as much credit as the sue.
cessful diplomat or business manager 1T
is the thought and knowledge we take
TO any WOEk JldI Iulsts ~ dbOFe buC
drudgery class.
The wise mother sees in the privilege
of teaching her daughters to properly
buy, prepare and serve foods her great
opportunity. One of the most valuable
lessons an experienced woman can give
is in the wise selection Of foods. Ex
perience in the knowledge of brands has
been acquired at the cost of time, and
many disappointments as well as money.
Set your standard for home attain
ments on a quality basis. With foods
especially is this necessary. The best
cook in the world will meet with failure
if she does not have pure, quality prod
ucts. Where strict economy is necessary,
practice it by eliminating unnecessary
foods from the diet. Another economy
is to substitute a quality brand of canned
meat for the roast that is too expensive
for a small family. Dorothy Dexter.
