weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
il two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

WHO is ELIGIBLE?

WASHINGTON, August 15.-Four
conditions must exist before a per-
son may be considered as eligible
for vocational training under the vo-
cational rehabilitation law First,
he muat have been honorably dis
charged { ON the service since April
IT, 1917; second. he must have a
disability incurred or aggravated
during service. or traceabla to that
service; third. his disability must
constitute a vocational handicap; and
fourth, physically and mentally he
must be capable of training.
Eligibility for training is based,
not so much upon physical injury in
itself, but upon the need of voca-
tional training to overcome the
handicap. For the real responsible
ty of the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education in its dealings with
disabled soldiers, sailors, and ma
rines is to help them become per-
manently self-dependent if it is at
all feasible. Th4~ ~t~
The numbers in training and those
already at work, under the direction
of the Board are increasing daily
In the passage of the Vocational Re
Mobilization law, the foresight of
Congress is to be commended, for
vocational training disabled soldiers,
sailors, and marines has established
itself as one of the good things in
the national adjustment program.
