WILL ELIMINATE DELAY
IN VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Long delays which have occurred in
the past because Of the inability of
the federal board of vocational edu-
cation to act on applications for voca-
tional training until compensation has
been awarded will be eliminated in the
future, according to George D. White,
head of the bureau of after-care.
In the future the board will act on
such applications without reference
to the disposition of compensation
claim by the bureau of war risk insur-
ance. DR.. H. M. Bracken, surgeon
reserve in the northern division will
see all claims before they are sent
to Washington. When necessary, i'm
mediate treatment will be given in
those cases where the medical report
already made out to accompany the
compensation claim to Washington is
sufficient to warrant the award.
The details Of the new procedure
will soon be announced. It is a great
satisfaction to all home service work
ers to be able to proceed with plans
for the re-education Of the disabled
without the disheartening delays of
the past.

The experiment lends special inter-
est to a plan which is being considered
for cooperation between the depart
ment of agriculture and the navy
partment under which carrier pigeons
and equipment of the latter depart
ment may become available. To es-
tablish a successful carrier pigeon
system it will be necessary to lay
plans during the coming winter, to
have the posts properly located, and
get the birds acclimated and begin
their training. Flights Of 600 miles
in q single day have been made, while
a distance of 14O to 200 miles means
a two or three hour flight for the
average bird. Since the distances
which would be covered in forest SER
vice work are considerably less than
this there appears to be no difficulty
in this regard. In post instances the
flights from fire fighting areas to
headquarters would be considerably
less than so miles. The value of the
birds would be particularly great in
mountainous regions where travel is
difficult.

FANS MUST PAY TAX.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States treasury is expecting to benefit
at least $4,000 on the worlds SER
les baseball games. Each purchaser
of a ticket will have to pay the Gus
tomary admission tax of one cent for
each 10 cents or fraction thereof,
which on the basis Of last years at
tendance will mean enough to pay the
salary of the president for nearly
three months. Internal revenue Off
GERS will go to Cincinnati and Chica-
go and check up returns.
Brokers, it is believed, will find the
business of "scalping" tickets this
year at exorbitant prices less prof.
liable than in the past, as there is a
tax Of so per cent on the excess
charge.
Brokers will be required to register
with the internal revenue collectors
and any violations of the regulations
will be dealt with vigorously, the law
imposing a punishment of one years
Imprisonment or $4,000 fine.

so often,' she said, I'VE find the
outside better than the inside, the
binding is in good condition, but the
pages hopelessly soiled. A great deal
depends upon the neighborhood the
books visit. Many of the public
school pupils come to the library to do
reference work; they are taught to re-
gard the books as tools, to respect
them, to give them the proper care.
This has been a great help in pre-
serving the books, and it is a rare
occasion when any of the school chill
dren return a frayed or soiled book

1T is not possible to fumigate a

department of health sends daily a

EIGHT MILLION PATIENTS.

The "life" of a book in the great
public libraries would be shorter than
it is but for the "book DOCTORS" who
keep an eye on the thousands of vol
umes and order an operation, a dose
of glue OF a change of shelf-place as
the patients condition seems to re-
quire. Miss Rose Murray, of the New
York public library, diagnoses and pre-
scribes for some eight million books,
says the New York Evening World,
and is "directly responsible for their
health and well-being." Even if her
office is in a cellar, she seems to en-
joy her professional activities, which
are thus described:
young and ~good-looking, this book
doctor spends her days in the cellar
of the public library at Forty-second
street and Fifth avenue sorting over
the roomful Of books, passing judg-
ment on their usefulness, and through
her thorough knowledge of binding,
retaining many thousands of vol
umes every year.
"1n her inspection of the thousands
of invalided and incapacitated books
Miss Murray wears a surgeons apron
that completely covers her gown, a
cheese-cloth veil with holes cut for
the eyes, and white cotton gloves.
"Thus equipped, she is ready to fight
any bookworms or germs that might
be lurking in the pages of the musty
books.
II found Miss Murray in her cellar
laboratory and asked her to tell me
of her work. She modestly disclaim-
ed anything unusual about her line
of endeavor-although she is the only
woman in the world doing just this
sort of workout as she diagnosed a
table full Of books, with a running
comment to her staff of assistants, l
CLEANED something of the work ac-
complished by this interesting young
woman.
"Miss Murray illustrated how she
arrived at her conclusions by pick
ing up a volume from the table.
"This book cost between thirty and
thirty-five cents to bind. 1t has been
out only fifty times. This, you see,
is much too expensive. Here is an
other book. Look at its record-out
two hundred and eight times, and with
a little thin bandage on some of it's
crippled pages it is ready for another
round of visits. And so it goes. Books
which are hopelessly stricken are re-
tired from active life. !

LOVES WAY.

A/oV \
Once in my youth l read a book
About a Cave Man bold,
Who took a club
(The brawny dub)
And laid his sweetheart cold;
And how he twined his fuzzy fist
Into the maiden's hair,
And dragged her through
A rocky slough
And flung her in his lair;
How then the lov'd lass conscious gat
And kissed the Cave Mans toe;
And Vol she'd stick,
Through thin and thick, =.
To her rude Romeo;
Then how they fixed the marriage
"dot"
At forty white bears hides;
And how they dug
A love cave snug,
All rose-grown at the sides;
And how, when she would fractions
wax,
He'd bling her on the bean,
With skillet, pot,

TRAMP'S SYMPHONY

The occasion Was a musicale and
dance given in the clubhouse of the
war camp community service for SER
vice men, their relatives and friends.
Came an intermission in the nights
program. In full view of the men
and women assembled in the club, the
tramp-a real honest to goodness way
farer-entered the building and look
ed about him. His eyes caught sight
of the piano in the assembly room and
he walked to the instrument.
Let the wal camp man, who was
there and witnessed the whole Incl
dent, tell about it.

the war camp man, "the stranger be-

"Say, boy! Maybe he couldn't inter-
pref them! Believe me, that old pi-
ano recognized a master and it re-
joiced itself and responded to his light
est touches or to his hammer blows.
"Leavenworth's old community club
was filled with concord of such sounds
as it never had been filled before.
From the more grave and sedate clas-
sizes numbers he ran into the higher
music.
"The boys in the pool room dropped
their cues, both the Victrola and the
G%rafonola at once became silent, as
if awed by the presence of the a
ter. The boys standing in the street
stole softly into the club and seated
themselves, in rapt attention. Pass
ing civilians came in"
"Who was our friend? From whence
came he and whittier did he 20 ?" says
the war camp man. "There was none
who seemed to know him. 1t was
apparent, though, that in other days
he had been in happier circumstances.
"Perhaps, he too, was a service
man-a veteran of other wars. Maybe
he was in Cuba or China or the Phil
ippines. He had that manner which
vaguely suggests the veteran of hard
soldering in the field. But we can
not tell anything definite about him,
except that he surely could play"

OMAHA COURT HOUSE
DESTROYED BY MOB
lnfuriated Crowd Hangs Negro and
Then Attempt to Lynch Mayor
Edward p. Smith.

Omaha, Sept. 2S.-A lynching which
developed many characteristics of a
race riot held this city terrorized for
nine hours today.
Mayor Edward P. Smith was saved
from lynching by a policeman, who. it
is reported, cut the rope from about
the mayors neck while his comrades
dubbed off the mob.
The riot conferred about the mag
nlflcent court house building, which
was set on fire in the the efforts to
reach William Brown, a negro charg-
ed with criminal assault on Agnes
Lobeck, a white girl, a few days ago.
With the flames mounting steadily
from floor to floor, Sheriff Mike
Clark and his deputies fought a grim
battle for hours to save Brown from
those who clamored for his life, but
at II o'clock, with the cries of the 100
or more prisoners IN the top floor
the Jail floor-ringing in his ears, he
was compelled to surrender the pris-
oner.
The latter was hustled to an elec-
trio light pole and hanged.
= With the dispersal Of the mob after
the lynching, the firemen were able
to get water on the flames which. it
was reported, were checked at the
fourth floor, mi story below the jail.
! An attempt to lynch Mayor Edward
P. Smith also was made by the mob.
The mayor tonight is in a critical con-
dition at a local hospital. His physi-
csian declines to say just how SER
iously he is injured. A rope was
thrown around his neck and he was
pulled off the ground twice before
two police officers succeeded in cut
ting the rope and getting him into an
automobile and away from the mob.
The mayor had gone to the court
house and held a consultation with
Sheriff Clark. Emerging from the
courthouse he met the mob and began
to make an appeal for law and order.
Somebody shouted "lynch him" and
a member Of the mob threw a rope
around his neck.
Half a dozen men dragged the may
or half a block and threw the loose
end of the rope over a trolley pole.
Twice they drew the mayors body
from the ground. Each time two po-
lice officers cut the rope. Following
the second attempt these officers sue
ceeded in getting the mayor into a
police motor car and rushed him to
a surgeons office nearby. The mayor
was bleeding from his mouth and
nose and after a brief examination by
physicians, was taken to a hospital.
At the hospital it was stated by the
physicians at midnight that he was
still unconscious.
1t is believed that the mayors con-
dition is very serious if not critical.
His face and body were badly bruised
by being dragged by the mob.

BUY WATER TO KEEP
MILK RIVER FLOWING

Harlem, Sept. 29.-Harlem and Chi
nook will pay $500 per month, be-
ginning Sept. 5 until conditions pre-
canal on account of freezing weather,
vent the further use of St. Mary's
to keep St. Mary's river running into
Milk River. The money will be paid
to the reclamation service. Usually
the water from St. Mary's is shut off
when the irrigation season is over and
it would be this year if it had not been
for the petition of the residents of
the valley who took the matter up
with headquarters at Washington
some time ago.
