Canada Places Time
Limit to Apply for
Vocational Training

Washington, Dec. 9O-Canada is
advising her disabled soldiers to APP
ply for vocational training before
February l, 1920. After that time
only men who are still in hospitals
may apply and they are given only
three months after their discharge
to file application for retraining.
The Canadian government goes on
the Theory that more than a year
has passed since the last man was
wounded or disabled in war and that
il there is any man needing refrain
ing and who desires it, he should
make his wants known Immediately
The United States government has
not acted so hastily. The Federal
Board for Vocational Education has
given, and is giving, nationwide pub.
licity to the retraining of our dis
abled service men. Not satisl eu
with that, the government is doing
all in its power to pursuade every
disabled man to take retrainlng
whether he desires it or not.
Canada announces $500 already
trained and 10000 still in training
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education announces more than
21,O0O men now in training and, be-
fore the opportunity to apply for this
training is closed, at least $4,000
more applications are expected.

ney general of Oklahoma and upon

through the hands of the spinners and

cloths are plain with inset pockets
and sleeves that reach to the knuckles,
SO that hands thrust into pockets are
entirely lost sight Of. They are made
with turnover collars and narrow belts
Of the material and they are long
enough to reach below the knees.
There are some pretty coats Of vel
veteen lined with silk. These are
sometimes made with blouse and skirt
and sometimes straight. Cuffs and
very wide muller collars of fur fabric
with deep set.in pockets show them
equal to battling with the cold. even

Just now millinery shops and their
patrons are concerning themselves
with hats for midwinter. Turbans and
Off-the-face hats, small and medium In
size, make up big percentage Of the
displays, although they are not alone
In their glory. There are plenty of
large, picturesque models for those
who wear them well. But the smaller
hats are prominent in every class of
millinery; chic tailored hats for the
street. semi-dress hats and brilliant
models for afternoon wear-all prove
successful In the smaller shapes.
The Napoleon hat. full Of dash and
style, seems to be the inspiration of
many models. One Interpretation Of II
appears ut the top Of the group of
small and medium hats shown here
This Is n brilliant hat of black paon
velvet adorned with long stitches OF
chenille and an occasional velvet bios
som set fiat against the upturned brim
This Is oil that can be told of It in
the way Of description but the picture
shows its style and youthfulness--the
intangible things that make II fit COM
pany for handsome afternoon frock
or ut home with a tailored coat.

made Of tucked velvet, will appeal to

allinery with lines and shape suited
to Ter face. A long, sweeping wing

as the woolly coats. Besides these
there are many plush coats made like
the woolly ones. usually in dark colors
with plush collars that initiate beaver
and buttons covered with beaver plush.
They are as warm as the woolly coats
and as dressy as the velvet ones.
Finally, there are fur coats for little
folks. These days one cannot even
whisper "furs" without saying money"
In loud tone Of voice, SO only little
rich girls will find themselves wearing
coats that are made Of pelts that once
defended small friends Of theirs against
the cold. Rabbits. muskrats and SPUR
rels have been sacrificed to make warm
coats for the small girls, white bunnies
for the tiniest ones and just plain rab-
bits for girls as big as the little miss
pictured. The shawl collar looks as
II II were sealskin but II is not. Mollie
Cottontail furnished the fur and the
furrier dyed II. 1t Is not prettier or
more comfortable than the other coats,
but It requires much more work to
make it-and thereby hangs the tale
Of its long price. Such a coat costs
little more than a hundred dollars.

The place Of honor at the center Of

looks in another direction for Its novel
charm. It Is one Of those shaggy af-
fairs that call to mind the headwear Of

when each soldier went into battle he
wore two tags about his neck con
tanning his name, rank, organization
and identification number. When the
body was buried one of these was left
attached TO the remains and the other
was placed on the small cross erected
ut the head of the grave or in case Of
dead Jewish soldiers a small wooden
six pointed star was similarly placed.
In addition there have been inscribed
on each cross or star the same identi-
ficatiOn marks that are on the tag as a
double procaution. 1t is the army's
boast that after death there is no dis
tinction in rank and that the graves
of the officers and privates are treated
the same.
1t was the chaplains' duty to watch
the burials and many of these brave
men risked their lives in seeing that
the graves We're properly marked. The
White Company usually supervised the
burying and conducted some sort of a
religious ceremony. In many instances
the burial had to be carried out in
such a hurry that the burial squad
had to resort to n slip of paper
with the identification written on it
thrust into a bottle and placed on the |
grave the bottle imhedded neck down. |

Identified and many still lie beside
their conrades of France and Great
Britain. Those who have the matter
IN charge hope to make great fields of
honor for the American dead, mean
while the French, especially the wom-
en- and children, will see to it that our
Decoration Day Is not forgotten and
on that day they are preparing 10
strew the graves of our boys with
flowers. They are also preparing for
Decoration Day services and it may be
some comfort for the relatives of these
boys to realize the marvellous tender
ness with which the graves of their
sons brothers and husbands are being
looked after.
In keeping records of the dead the
Graves Registration Service of the
Army was greatly aided by the Red
Cross Society, and since the armistice
was signed many clerks have been at
work on the classification of the dead
and it will be practically complete in
short time.
How Identified

made.
For some time photographs of the
graves of the soldiers have been sent
to the relatives of the dead often
times these show fresh flowers and
French people amid the graves. That
of Lieutenant quentin Roosevelt has
been decorated many times and on our
Decoration Day it is sure TO be the
mecca of many Americans and French
Us well. The French air service has
recently erected a wooden mark and
cross over the young officers grave
and built a fence around it as pro.
lection. As young Roosevelt fen and
was buried on what was then German
territory he was buried by the Ger
mans near the spot and his resting
place has not yet been changed.
Bringing Bodies Home Undesirable
There has been much discussion as
to whether or not the bodies of oar
boys should be brought home and in
TERED in American soil. While this
might be done it must be remembered
that the character of the soil in
