There is nothing top-heavy or un-

Richards's game may be compared
more equally to that of the late Gustav

TO meet an opponents attack from any

enormous saving in the amount of

Summing up the boys game, the
most striking feature in our opinion
is the remarkably good tennis head

both achieved by court generalship Of

AMERICAN RED CRO6S

Colorado Home Service sections OF
the Red Cross have just submitted to
Division headquarters in Denver fig
ures that show that ,399 American
soldiers have returned to this state
more or less disabled rs 4 result of
their big adventure abroad. Prac-
tically every county in Colorado is
represented in the list One county
alone has TOO sick or disabled Yanks,
one has 17s and another has 90.
With the same indomitable courage
and will that marked their assault on
many a German stronghold the ma
jority of these Colorado heroes have
begun an assault on the trenches of
the future-they have commenced
training for new professions or
trades. The Red Cross figures. COM
piled with the assistance Of the Fed
eral Vocational Training Board, in
dicate that Colorado Yanks are not of
the calibre that is content to sit
around with folded hands, feeding on
war memories.
An even larger proportion Of the
men would now be in training for new
vocations, If more Of them could be
shown the advantage and opportun-
ity that the government is offering.
The Red Cross, through its Home Ser
vice sections, Of which there is one
in virtually every town in the state,
is now engaged in the effort to en-
list the balance Of the sick or other
wise disabled men. The Red Cross is
not appealing to the men alone; rath-
er it is trying to prevail upon the
relatives and friends of the men to in
duce the latter to take up training.
Many men are not aware that they
will receive a minimum Of $500 per
month while taking this training.
Many men are not even aware that
they are entitled to compensation dur
ing the period of their disability.
Many do not know that the govern
ment insurance that they, perhaps, al
lowed to lapse can be reinstated. 1t
is these things and thousand other
services that the Red Cross stands
ready to render to the soldier or his
family.
There is Home Service represen-
tative in this jurisdiction. Soldiers
and their families should communi-
cate with it on any and all problems.
