Dispute Over Mountain

Tacoma and Seattle, away up In
Washington, and other communities
out in that direction, are having a
wordy wrangle over what is called the
great mountain that towers to the
clouds 'Just across the river" II liz
set down In the geography as Mount
Rainier, but the people Of Tacoma call
Ii Mount Tacoma, and now there Is n
considerable number of persons In this
country who want II named after the
late Colonel Roosevelt-they want II
called Mount Roosevelt.
The name Rainier" was given the
mountain by the Canadians, in honor
of British admiral OF that name who
sank an American vessel during the
Revolutionary war. Naturally. the
name is not especially popular on this
side Of the border. The Indians
called II "Tacoma"-the tribe itself
bore the same name. which means sim
ply "the mountain" The Tacoma In
dians were ''the Mountain Indians"

these qualities will have little trouble
in consulting with the government adj
vlsers with whom he discusses the
training he desires.
Representatives of the federal board
are busy in the great reconstruction
hospitals making preliminary lnvesti-
cations Of men about to be discharged.
Sometimes ii proves comparatively
easy to place a man in a good job;
training isn't always needed. The board
acts as an employment agency to a
considerable extent. But It's great task
Is to seek out the men who have to
be re-educated or who, never having
had the opportunity to secure an edu-
cation, can take advantage of this
chance.
No attempt has been made so far
TO place disabled men In special schools
for crlpples or to Segregate them In
any way for training or other pur-
poses. Experience has shown that such
segregation is harmful and that the
more disabled man Is thrown with
his fellow men who are strong and
healthy, the quicker will be his re-
covery and the more readily will he
absorb training. For this reason use
is being made Of existing educational
and trade schools throughout the
country.
More than 100000 disabled men have
already sought the assistance of the
federal board of vocational education,
and new cases come into the central
office In Washington and to the four
teen branch offices at the rate OF
500 day. There are about 6,000 men
to take the training, and efforts are
being made to get disabled men to
take training just as quickly as pos
slble after they leave the army. When
ii is considered that more than 10000
disabled men left army hospitals be-
fore they could be told about the
board, the figures OF those who have
shown their interest are encouraging.

Get Gold Bullion
from Sunken Vessel

for the divers. On June 20, the re-
trieying OF the treasure began.
Gold Brought Up.
The FIRST bucket sent up contained
only copper pennies and few silver
coins. Then for several days, bucket
after bucket containing three or more
gold bars. each worth more than $5,-
900. were hoisted to the surface and
dumped on the deck of the Racer. The
first Of these bars brought lusty cheers
from the crew Of the salvage ship, but
tossing fortunes about soon came to
be merely another form of manual la
Dor to these sailormen.
Most Of the gold bars were 0 inches
long, inches thick and inches wide
and weighed about % pounds. For
days not one was found, as many Of
them were hurled clear of the wreck
by the blasting necessary to make the
strong chamber accessible. Several
feet Of sand have now been washed
over these scattered bars beneath
masses Of twisted steel and It fire.
quently requires hours of patient Ia
Dor to pry them loose. The record
days haul so far had been AZ bars
worth approximately s350,000. Thus
far several million dollars worth Of
treasure has been salyaged.
Divers Work In Shifts.
The Racer carries eight divers.
Their tricks" are so arranged that
one diver is at work throughout the
day. Each works half an hour and
then must spend 30 minutes in coming
to the surface as otherwise the sud-
den relief from the tremendous deep
water pressure might cause partial or
complete paralysis. They are brought
up In ten-fathom "hauls," with ten
minute 'rest" intervals.
When the days work Is over. the
days "cateh" If considerable. is dis
patched to London with an armed con-
voy.
When first built the Racer was a
square rigger man-o'-war-one of the
wooden Walls Of England as the
ships Of the British navy at that time
were known-a century ago.
