Training for
Disabled Men
Three Types Included Under
Vocational Law

Not every disabled soldier is permit
ted TO receive training under the voca-
tiOnal rehabilitation law; but every
disabled soldier who is in need of
training is provided for. The federal
board for vocational education is au-
thOriZed under the law to give train
ing, with support, to every person
enlisted. enrolled, drafted, indicted
or appointed in the military or naval
forces of the United States, including
members of training camps authorized
by law, who since April Z, 1917, has
resigned or has been discharged or
furlOughed therefrom under honorable
conditions, having a disability in
Cured, increased or aggravated while
q member of such forces, or later de-
velOping Il disability traceable to serv-
Ice with such forces, and who, in the
opinion Of the federal board for vOca-
tional %edu"ation, is in need Of vOca-
tional rehabilitation TO overcome the
handicap Of such disability" These
are called Section 2 men in the par
lance of the board, and constitute the
large majority of those in training.
Disabled soldiers termed Section
. men" by the board are those with
disabilities which do not prohibit their
return to former employment, but who
desire training for the improvement
and benefits it may bring. The law
preScribeS that courses for rehabilita-
ton be provided for them under con-
ditiOns approved of by the board. Such
men must have been awarded compen-
satiOn by the bureau Of war risk in
surance, and no maintenance is al
lowed them during training. In ad-
dition to these two classes a few men,
still in the army and navy hospitals,
are taking training under the direction
Of the board, without cost to the
board, under section 6 Of the act.
These three classes include all dis
abled men who are eligible for re-edu-
cation under the amended law.

Surface Temperature of
Parts of Back and Chest
Varies Twenty Degrees

The temperature of the interior of
the human body, which means so much
TO the physician, is fairly constant,
and is easily determined with the
mouth thermometer. But of the tenn
p%erature Of the skin and its possible
significance little is known. The heat
is received from the subcutaneous it's
sues, bur is lowered by radiation. con-
duction and water v~aporiZation. and
the ordinary thermOmeter-only a
small part OF which can be brought
into actual contact wiki the skin
gives 40 useful indications. Even with
q special thermometer having a large
bulb and an insulated outer surface,
the results are unsatisfactory on &C.
count of the retarding Of the normal
loss Of heat.
For the Carnegie institution nutri-
ton laboratOry's experiments at Bos-
ton a new kind Of thermometer has
been devised. and the apparatus.
though shielded by insulation, acts so
quickly that a true record Of Skin-tem-
p%erature is obtained. The process is
thermO-electric, one metallic junction
being placed in q bath of constant
temperature, while the other Is applied
to the skin. The current set up is di-
rectly prOportioned to the difference
in temperature OF the two functions.
In air below 60 degrees Fahrenheit It
was found that the surface tempera-
ture Of different parts of the back and
chest varied as much as 20 degrees,
and it is concluded that the indica-
tons will prove of value in testing
physical condition.

D. S. Medal Given to Only
One Woman in Awards Made
to United States Soldiers

Only 500 Distinguished Service med
and of these just one was presented
to q woman.
Miss Mary Vail Address, an Amer
lean Red Cross canteen worker in
France, was the woman chosen for the
distinguished honor.
The medal was presented to Miss
Address by General Pershing in the
name Of the president of the United
States.
Miss Address, a New York woman,
was one of the first seven American
girls to go overseas. She went to the
Toul sector as the American troops
entered it, and on her own initiative
set up a canteen tent in the station
yard and gave small comforts to the
soldiers arriving or on leave. Within
a month she assisted 1900 doughbOys
a day, and it is estimated that during
her entire service her canteen well
coined more than 100000 soldiers.
After the tents success she opened
a rest house for officers and men, and
finally was put in charge of an entire
hotel. Under her direction were in
stalled shower baths where thousands
of men enjoyed their first chance for
a bath after weeks in the trenches.
Miss Address is planning to continue
her social and public service in some
other form.

Uncle Sam Is Economical;
Orders Stamps imprinted
With Inscription "2 Cents"

Uncle Sam is again practicing
stationery, and his thrift means more
new varieties for collectors" writes
Kent b. Sdles in Boys Life.
"When the wartime rate of 3 cents
for an ordinary letter was reduced to
2 cents on July l, there were in post
Offices throughout the country excess
stocks OF the 3-cent envelopes. The
postmaster general has sent notice to
all postal sub-agencies authorizing the
imprinting Of the inscription y cents
in red on each envelope just below the
circular die. lnasmuch as this inn
printing is not being done at the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing at
Washington, but at sub-agencies indie
%pendently, there is prospect of many
varieties of type becoming available
to collectors. and it is not unlikely
that such errors as ~inverts, broken and
missing and misplaced letters, etc., will
appear.
THE cost of an ordinary post card
was lowered to the normal ! cent,
and the sub-agencies have been author
lied to surcharge 4 c. across the cir
cular die on each card, although this
situation is of less interest, as philate-
lists do not collect postal cards.
"Of course, the imprinted envelopes
and overprinted cards sell to the pub
lie at the new prices, 2 and l cents, re-
spectively."

Substitute for Platinum
Is Invented by Illinois
Professor of Chemistry

1llium is the name. of the new metal
alloy, a substitute for platinum. that
has been discovered by Prof, s. w.
Parr of the department of chemistry
at the University of Illinois.
According to Professor Parr the i'm
p%ortance Of this new metal lies in the
fact that 1t can be substituted for plati-
nun or gold in acid tests. Its price is
another factor. Illium costs approx
mately % cents an ounce.
Other alloys have been found too
brittle. They can be cast, but not
machined like fllfum. Every rod Of
illium which is made has a button cut
from the end, which is given a 24-hour
acid test. These buttons are weighed
before and after the test and as yet
the difference In weight has not been
appreciate.
The first mixture Of this alloy was
made in April, 1917.

The discussion of meat prices has aroused public interest In the various
cuts that are sold at different prices. Many persons know what a round steak
is, for example, without knowing the part of q beet carcass ron which it Is
cut. The san is true of chuck steak, brsket and other pieces. Those who
have beer investigating prices express the opinion that If the people knew
more about tn various pieces there would be a greater demand or son of
the cuts that are sold at lower prices.
In the discussion it has com nut that many of the retailers do not buy
carcasses, but buy the parts IF a carcass from which are taken the cuts IN
greatest demand. Hence some of the cuts are OF usually found at 10 of
the retail shops
The illustration is a drawing of half a beef carcass with the parts

Thrilling Week. nd3.

II Is curious to recall how many
thrilling Saturdays and Sundays there
have been during the war. 1t was or
q Sunday that Germany committed
her first definite act Of war. TN a
Sunday the London Times published
its telegram about the retreat from
Mons. which created SO painful a feel
ing in that country. The crucial day
of the second battle of Ypres. when
the Germans nearly broke through with
the help Of gas. was a Saturday. 1t
was on a Saturday that the earlier
dispatches regarding the battle Of Jut-
land created so unfortunate m i'm
preston. and II was on a Saturday il
March this year that we began to real
ize the grim possibilities of the Ger.
man offensive of that month.
