 years
 Bona fide occupants or claimants are entitled to apply for lease or permit within one year from the date of the act, or within six months after final denial or withdrawal of applica- tion for patent.

EAGER FOR RETAINING
13. 900 of Americas Manned Sol
diers Register for Course of
Vocational Instruction.

Present estimates OF military au-
thorlties put the number of Americans
disabled in the war at 100, 900. OF
this number it is estimated that $4,000
VIII be able TO return to their old oc-
cupations, leaving 10000 who need re-
training for work suited to their
MANNED condition.
The federal board for vocational
education, appealing 10 the country
yesterday for aid in the campaign to
make disabled soldiers Independent
by making them self-supporting. an
nounced that so far $4,000 men injured
in fighting the battles of democracy
rave registered for retraining. The
applications of 1.300 have been ap-
proved and 500 actually have started
courses in re-education.
The experience of France and Eng
iahd. that only 25 per cent Of the men
needing retraining take advantage OF
the facilities offered seems certain to
be surpassed in this country, the fed
erai board believes, ''in view of the
greater generosity of this govern
ment." At least 1900 disabled men
are expected to enroll for vocational
courses.
Tuition. books and living expenses
are provided all disabled men taking
courses, which may range from six
months shop training to a four years
college course. In no case does the
allowance fall below s65 a month.

HOME GARDENS NEEDED
TO MEET COST OF LIVING
Potomac Garden Club Finds Prices
Have Not Dropped Sufficiently
for Work to Be Halted.

The cost of living has not dropped
low enough since the signing of the
armistice to lead any Of the home
gardeners of the past few years to
give up the movement this summer,
in the belief of members Of the
Potomac Garden Club
The stretch of land in Potomac
Park. which this club supervises, has
been laid off into 2sS plots covering
more than thirty-four acres. This is
considerably more ground than the
club had last year.
Each plot is big enough to grow
sufficient vegetables for the average
family of five and they are being
assigned to persons in all sections
of the city. A fee of S2.50 is required
for the expense of clearing, plowing
and narrowing. There are still few
plots unassigned
Each gardener will be expected to
keep his plot neat and attractive
The gardens will be inspected occa-
sionally by supervisors Of the club.
