Of conditions and its application for
authority to extend same, after the
war work is finished. This is square
ly upon the shoulders of the local
chapter.
The extension work is designed to
cover various fields of activity and
usefulness for Peace Time. 1t is
pointed out that the loss in man.
power has been great. The world
needs "Man Power" but the greatest
need is "The Child; also, that one
million children in public schools to-
day would die of tuberculosis, and
the function of the Red Cross, in time
of peace, will be to aid and help in
the great job of prevention of dis
ease, and by it touch and help all
other distress.
Peace-time work is divided into
two general classes-Civilian Re-
lief and Disaster Relief. Its scope is
broad, and it is planned to provide
relief for families where State law or
other relief is not available; to help
needs of the community, such as COM
munity centers, rest rooms and head
quarters for farmers wives; mat
tiers of health and welfare of boys
and girls, play grounds, and places
for boys to meet, and for men and
boys to to meet and talk over mat
tiers; cooperation with the Board of
Health, the Boy Scouts, police de-
partments, and the problems of the
unruly child-boy or girl.
The standard of the citizen must
be raised, and it is to have certain
functions in connection with a plan
Of Education" One for the city and
one for the country, taught on fixed
plans for the civilian population in
harmony with one to be taught in the
schools.
Disaster relief is planned for a
committee from the Home Service
Section, which shall include repre-
sentatives of the local Board Of
Health, physicians, nurses, and motor |
crops, organized and trained along |
standard lines, as an emergency or
ganization for the relief of suffering |
from disaster. This committee shall |
have available supplies, Transports
ton units, keep in touch with the
workers of other departments Of the
Red Cross, and be ready for service
in any crisis or disaster.

Americas new army for which
every effort is being made to secure

WHAT HARD ROADS DO

Kansas City, Mo.-That gooc
roads are the most prominent factor
in the development Of rural life il
the United States was the declaration
of Rev. L. M. Birkhead, Unitarian
minister Of this city, in a recent ser
mon on improved highways.
"To rid our nation Of isolation
poverty, ignorance, and i'll health, il
is necessary to have more adequate
means of communication" Mr.. Birk'
head said, "The loneliness and isola.
ton of country life, due to bad roads
is likely the most serious hinderance
to the proper development of coun-
try people"
The following is a summary Of
what good roads would mean to Mis-
souri, and Kansas, according to Mr..
Birkhead:
Good roads would:
Greatly increase the value Of farm
property.
Bring remote agricultural land
within practicable hauling distance
from railroads.
Make the motor truck economical
for farmers.
Tighten the labor Of horses and
save wear and tear on harness and
wagons.
Bring relief from congestion in
the fall, and consequently relief
from flooded markets.
Provide q steadier food market.
Enable the farmer to sell his pro-
duct when the market and not the
road is favorable.
Exempt the farmer from the pay
ment of mud tax"
Extend and improve rural delivery
service.
Enhance the personal, social and

PROGRESS GRATIFYING.
Increase in Number of Applicants
for Vocational Training Reported.

Before the report of the statistical
department of the federal board for
vocational education can be approved
new figures must be inserted in the
records. because of the rapid daily
increase in the number of disabled
men coming in contact with the
boards officers. The increase of the
work in june compared with the
average increase of the preceding
six months indicates a gratifying
progress.
The total number of men wounded
in the A. E. F. has been recently re-
ported as 213.447. A large number Of
these severely wounded cases are still
held in hospitals. The vocational Off
GERS of the board have made contacts
with l46.931 disabled persons. of which
number 99,SS7 have been surveyed by
vocational advisers. OF these 1853

THEOTHER ANGLE
II. G. of L.
BY KIRK MILLER.

Statistics murmur that Washington
is getting gypped out Of IL per cent
more for its scofings than any other
city in or on the edge Of the league
Of nations. In the language of the
Amalgamated E. Bumubus Unum, or
United We starve, we're dragging
ourselves away from IL per cent more
bonus for chow than any other oasis
in the United States Of Saharica.
Don't remember that the treaty said
anything about the District of CO.
lumbia, Skipstopia, Blimpville or Ana
lostan Island. but take it for granted
that we're invited. Only thing we're
sure Of in Washington is that we are
full paid-up members in the league
Of small rations.
There's supposed to be logical
reason for everything and that's prob
ably the reason there's no excuse for
the high cost of low eats. All the
alibis have been exhausted in excus-
ing other atrocities and there's nary
vindication (f1nd that word in the
V's) left for the tall price of starv-
ing. A bad excuse is rumored to be
better than none. but no excuse wins
the lightweight title for superdumb-
ness.
Aside from malaria. sleepless nights.
tight shoes, street car straps and an
epidemic of purple and lavender
sweaters, Washington is chiefly en-
gagged in trying to get a winning ball
club and an occasional chunk of ice,
all of which adds an extra straw to
the dromedary's shoulderblades. And
these little items all come under the
head and foot of the altitudinous re-
tail price of respiration. In the good
old days BEES you had to pay an
amusement tax to suffer on the street
cars. the ice mae was just an ordinary
tax-dodging citizen. Now he's a po-
tentate! If you want to get a piece
of ice the size of an Englishman's
imagination, you've got to stand in
the ice monarch's receiving line for
an entire afternoon and then run the
chance of taking mo" for an an
swer.
When you finally are ushered into
his ice-spangled presence. you uAOst
bow and scrape and handshake and
shoulder-pat until he thinks you are
trying to give him massage, at
which time you send in your card to
his first assistant janitor with the
meek request that he hit you in the
refrigerator with a dimes worth Of
CONCEALED HaO. This austere gent
looks up your record in Who's Who,
the Police Gazette and the Hagers-
town Almanac, and If you've never
been convicted Of golfing on Sunday,
sitting down in a street car or going
to sleep in a moving picture show, you
get your ice without any reserva-
lions.
Milk is another mild narcotic which

WILL DISCUSS PLAN
FOR FOOD DISPOSAL
John G. McGrath to Confer
With Commissioner Gardner
Regarding Army Surplus.
3 CARLOADS EXPECTED

With eight carloads of Army food
expected to be available here for
public use. the problem of distribution
to be unraveled by men handling the
surplus Army stock will be discussed
this afternoon with Commissioner
Gardiner by John G. McGrath, who
returned this morning from a survey
of the situation in New York city.
It is practically certain that recon-
mendations will be made that school
and fire houses be made neighborhood
points for the Army food.
This is being done in New York city
with gratifying results, Mr.. McGrath
said this morning. The parcel post
will be a great aid in handling large
orders, it was stated, but when the
order for a can Of beans or two sides
of bacon arrives more or less de-
tailed labor will be required to wrap
the food and dispatch it to the con-
signee. And there is no money to
pay for the distribution of the food.
On this account no persons may be
employed by the managers of the
community project.
