HOW ONE FOUND HIS JOB
UnskIued Man, Wounded at ReIleau
Wood, Who Thought Engraving
Fun Soon Proves Himself
Expert Workman.

Washington.-A stoop shouldered
man leaning on crutches came into the
offices Of the federal board for voca
tionaI education morning and, look
ing around the room, asked If this was
the place where the soldiers who had
been hurt in the war could find some
thing to do. The, agent of the board
asked him to sit down, and told him
the plan that the government had for
helping the handicapped men OF the
army, navy and marine who had been
disabled in the service so that they
might keep on with an active life.
Malmed at BeIIeau Wood.
II reckon I was In the service, all
right" the stoop %shouldered n said,
laying his crutches by the chair. "At
Belleau Woodi Lord, what a dayt"
He let his hands drop l~istlessly be-
tween his knees and turning his eyes
to the adviser, he said: Well, how
you goin' to help mef I have lost my
left leg and I have about two dollars
In my pocket and nowhere to get
more. I never had a decent job In my
life. I don't know how to do anything
special and I don't care what 1t is you
give me to do, Just SO it's something"
The adviser talked to him for a bit
and tried to discover just what this
man could do. He had held odd Jobs
here and there , but none led to any
thing definite. He wasn't any more
Interested in auto mechanics than in
| street sweeping, or In gardening than
in clerking. He sat there listlessly
looking at his hands and left it to the
adviser to decide. Every now and then
be slowly turned a strange ring he had
on his finger.
The adviser felt rather discouraged.
He couldn't get a lead from this mans
silence, and to get his confidence he
asked to see the ring. The man took 1t
off and handed 1t to him. His face
became suddenly animated. II made
that. he said. Hammered 1t out OF
silver myself and engraved those fig
ures on the outside. Nothing but some
playin' Of mine," he added deprecat-
lngly. The adviser looked at the ring
carefully. 1t was well done, with a
certain look about the engraving that
gave him an idea.
"That's Just Play"
"How would you like to learn en-
craving and get a good position at itT
"Doin' this7 Say, this amt work.
It'ssJust play. and nobody pays you for
havin' a good time, do they7"
"Let's have a try at it." suggested
the adviser, @and see what happens"
The federal board sent the man to
learn engraving. and in a few months
he was the best of all the workers IN
the Jewelry store where he was en-
ployed.
That ring was the key that opened
the door OF success to him. He has
walked up and Is enthusiastic about his
works only, he says. 'Tt's not work.
This Is fun"
Work always Is fun when you have
found the right vocation, and the fed
eral board IL trying 10 hnd what the
disabled soldiers like to do best.

Chinese Salvation Army

A new element has been added TO
the night life of Picking and Tien-tsin,
strange and yet familiar to occasional
sightseers from western countries.
The "Chiou Shlh Chun," or Save
World Army" Is conducting Its open
mir meetings on the street corners OF
the Chinese cities, and the spectacle
~reproduces In China a scene that vas
equally strange In the great cities OF
England and America when the Saliva
ton army first came into existence.
For "Chiou Shih Chun" Is Chinese for
"Salvation army" in a land where the
language has no exact verbal equfva-
lent for "~salvation" and must do It's
best by the combination "save-worid."
Less than three years g the salva-
ton army made Its start In China,
and a party of forty officers from the
West tackled the Job Of mastering
enough of the language to begin oper-
atoms. At present there are five corps
of the "Chiou Shih Chun" in Peking,
two CORPS In flemish, and fourteen
scattered throughout the country as
far north as the border of Mongolia.
In organization the "Chiou Shin Chun"
IS Identical with the Salvation army
elsewhere and the Chinese salvation
soldier lives under the same rules OF

Niuht Fly Fishing.

The question as to whether or nor
trout will rise to flies by moonlight is
one that has long been discussed In
the Adirondacks. A number Of Adj
rondack guides have insisted that they
have taken good catches Of trout by
moonlight fly fishing. Others Of the
woods brethren, however, have merely
smiled when one speaks Of sharing the
gpeckled ones under the light OF the
June moon.
Some fishermen claim to have taken
them that way, while others say 1t Is
merely q fish story. Apparently about
the only way n can prove 1t to his
w satisfaction is to go some moon
light night to waters where they know
trout are and try 1t for themselves.
There is, however, no doubt regard
ing brown trout taking flies at night,
at least not in some waters. Arthur
Munsil Malone recently secured seven
fine brown trout from Salmon river,
whose waters were bathed in moon
light at the time.-Saranac Lake Daily

Hnnor for the cowbeII.

Never again can the cowbell be
looked upon as something merely
bucolic, commonplace and unitarian
connecting at best fer the city man
memories Of idling away a summer hol-
iday in the country. What the cow
bell has meant to the country boy In
early rising to do stable chores, and
tedious hunting through swampy bot
tom lands for the heifer who appears
to have no homing instinct 1t Is rather
difficult to express politely. But now
the despIsed cowbell has achieved It's
apotheosls, for thanks to the ingenuity
of a California composer, a set OF
them, covering a chromatic range OF
an octave and a half" was used in
the symphonic music Of this years Bo-
hemian Grove play. This, perhaps, in
some small degree makes up for the
fearful contemporary misuse Of an
honorable II lOwly instrument by jazz

Juarez, Mex. - Francisco Villas
method Of evading pursuit by Mexi-
can government troops is almost iden-
teal with that used by a covey Of
quail to escape the hunter. Even the
detail Of protective coloring has been
applied by villa, for his men always
wear brown cotton clothing which
blends with the desert landscape and
dust clouds through which they travel
In campaign.
Hunters know that the quail's in
stinct directs 1t to scatter when dan
ger approaches and seek owe in the
nearby landscape. villa and his reb-
Ell bands do the same thing when a
superior federal column approaches.
Often Villas band will number 1000
men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez,
Diaz and Garcia. They make a col
umn which coils across the plains like
a giant snake and leaves a great dust
cloud In Its wake.
But let General Castro's government
troops approach with artillery, ma.
chine guns and cavalry mounted on
former American army horses and the
column will break up into little bands
Of 100 under petty chiefs, will disap-
pear In some mountain canyons and
60 into hiding until the federals pass
Once the danger Of attack Is over the
column reassembles, occupies some
town In Its path and again disappears
with its loot.
Villas men have been known to
hitch their horses to plows in the
fields Of the irrigated districts and be
industriously blowing when the fed
eral scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks Of deception
during the years Of evading the fed
erals, and even drive a herd Of burros
with them so they may transform
themselves into wood vendors on oc'
casion.

WoMAN'S RIGHT TO PROPOSE
British Girl Claims That Conditions
Following Wa Have Made Old
Ideas Look Foolish.

Among the last rights Of women te
be fought is the right to propose.
1t Is the inevitable consequence OF
the vote and of the war. The position
OF woman with regard to marriage has
entirely changed, and the sooner 1t is
recognized the better. Up till now
nice women have properly not pro-
posed, because 1t meant virtually
"Wm you keep meT'
Now that q woman can be as indie
pendent as a mar she need have no
scruples on that score. IA Girl From
the War" writes In the continental
edition of the London Mail.
In every other direction the position
of men and women, with regard to
marriage, Is equal. 1t Is quite ridicu-
lous that it should be an honorable
| thing In q man to love q woman who
! does not return his affection, and yet
BIO a disgrace to q oma to love un-
asked. A proposal from the man clears
the air. and 1t would be the same with
one from the woman
In the present condition Of things a
woman often wastes the best years OF
her life on a hope. 1t would be much
better IL she could say In the Begin
ming; II like you, and If you like me
as much as l like you, let us spend our
lives together" 1t would be quite sim
pie for the man to reply. If he were
of O different mind: II am sorry. OF
course, / like you, but I do not Q Like
going into partnership"
The would then put him out
of her mind and go about her business.
Broken hearts heal in time, and 1t IL
possible that hearts would never get
beyond the wounded stage Ii this plan
were adopted.
There is a serious reason why It
should be adopted. Some badly wound
ed men are feeling much as II they had
changed places with the women. They
do not have to say, "Will you keep
me?" when they propose, but what to
them is almost as bad, "Wnl you keep
yourselfT
It would be a great relief to many
a crippled man in love II proposals
were taken out OF mems hands.
In the present circumstances no nice
girl could bring herself to propose,
however willing she is to keep herself,
however much she loves the man.
There is no need to fear that the
new right would give added license to
the other kind Of girl. She proposes
now. although not in so many words.
