girl, and who can guess whether a
woman will be on time or late?"

TECHNICALITIES
ARE OVERCOME
Men Ineligible For Special Re-educa-
cation Now May Have II
Through Eiks' Gen.
crosby.

WASHINGTON, March 81. = Dis
abled soldiers, sailors and marines
who are held to be worthy cases, but
who for one technically or another
have been declared "noncompen-
sable cases" by the bureau Of war
risk insurance, now have a chance
for retraining, according to state
ment today by the federal board for
charge of this work.
According to the law passed by
congress, only the cases decided as
compensate" by the war risk in
surance bureau are eligible or en-
titled to the free vocational refrain
ing, with sos per month support
fund. allowance for dependents, and
placement in job. if the course be
for wage-earning occupation.
By means of the fund of $150,000
placed by the Elks at the disposal
of the federal board, worthy cases
can now be awarded training with
out reference to the technicalities
which hedge about the expenditure
of government funds.
There are no restrictions whatever
upon the use of the Elks' fund, and
it is to be employed in any or all
such cases as the board may deem
worthy Congress provided that the
board might maintain gift fund and
receive donations, anticipating that
just such emergencies might arise.
The wisdom of doing SO is made
manifest in the opening of the door
of hope to men where technicalities
had closed it to them.
