Shoe merchants fixed two hours in

When the Civil Service Commits
sion receives an application for ex-
animation. from discharged Yank,
whose physical condition is such that
he would not ordinarily be accepted,
his case is referred to the Federal
Board for Vocational Education. The
Federal Board turns the matter over
to a field officer who promptly goes
out after the man and offers him the
services of the Boards organization
for special training to fit him for the
work for which he has applied, or for
some other employment if it does not
seem practicable to train him for the
work for which he made application
to the Civil Service Commission.
Hundreds of such cases have been
referred to the Federal Board by the
Civil Service Commission.
Under a recent amendment Of the
Civil Service Rules, made ON the rec
ommendation of the Civil Service
Commission, the Commission may
waive the established physical re-
quirements in favor of disabled and
honorably discharged soldier, sailor
or marine, upon the certifcation of

Education that he has been specially
