PRESCRIBE EXERCISE
FOR THE WOUNDED
"PLAY-THERAPY" IDEA Is BEING
TRIED OUT IN CAMPS OF
CENTRAL MILITARY
DEPARTMENT.

ChicaSo.-'T prescribe an hour Of
volley ball for your stiff wrist this
morning." is being heard now in a
dozen Of Uncle Sans camps wherein
wounded soldiers are convalescing. Or,
1t may be that the prescription is
something like this: "Boy, your knee
joints are pretty stiff and the hinges Of
your hips don't work right. Suppose
you play arch ball for an hour today
and tomorrow and then prolong the
period Of play bit. This will do more
for you than anything else."
DIR. Fl. F. Kallenberg, chief Of Y. NJ.
G. A. physical directors in the central
military department, with headquar-
ters in Chicago, is receiving word al
most daily that the latest met,sod of
treating wounded men in government
hospitals In such cases as demand ex-
ercise of joints, fingers, wrists, legs or
arms, is doing wonders for the SOL
diers. They not only are throwing off
their ailments but are taking on cheer
fulness and new interest in life, he
declares. The treatment is "new' in
that medical men examine each case
and prescribe certain games to fit the
needs Of that case. No playing at
games requiring exercise of muscles or
joints is done save under the direct SUI
pervision of medical officer, Doctor
kallenberg asserts.
Helping Government.
physical directors of the Y. NJ. G.
A. are helping the, government in these
of it,n
tor Kallenberg. II understand the ap-
plication Of our theory that the playing
of certain games mend certain all
ments is being demonstrated with sue
cess at various camps in the plain re-
construction of the physical man. We
do not under-rate massage, hydro
therapy, electrotherapy or manual
therapy, but we are finding that speci-
fled exercise in play works wonders in
loosening joints and brings the man to
normal state"
AT the following camps the new
treatment of "play-therapy" is being
used successfully upon hundreds of
wounded soldiers, sailors and marines:
Taylor Dodge, Great Lakes. Fort
Sheridan, Fort Des Moines, Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, u. S. General hospital
No. 21, Denver, and plans are being
made now to establish the treatment
at Camps Funston, Sherman, Custer
and the big Ford hospital, Detroit. It
is reported that Major Kelley at Camp
Grant has set aside two large two
story barracks for gymnasium and
will ask the Y. NJ. G. A. for two men to
assist In directing wounded soldiers in
their games.

A JOB FOR EVERY SOLDIER.

Secretary Baker has said lit would
be an unthinkable thing that any sol
dier who put ON the uniform of this
country and who either fought or was
in training in this country, will be al
lowed TO remain without job if he
wants one. During the last six months
Of 1918 the United States Employment
Service found places for 2,3S6,490 men
and women. Since the war began,
this branch of the government has
found places for 100000 applicants a
week. In addition to it's $50 regular
offices ii has set sp 1900 bureaus for

ExcUsINe is ACCUSING.

In France, battle ground for world
freedom, there is a maxim that should
be learned by every American citizen
1t should be memorized in French or
in English. Each American citizen
should repeat 1t before meals and at
bedtime until tho close of the Victory
Liberty Loan.
In French this maxim Is:
"Qui s'excuse s'accuse."
In English:
Who excuses himself accuses him.

Perhaps the maxim is no better ex,
pressed in French than in. English.
But the French people. who have fur
nished- the world the greatest exam
pies in patriotism. give more weight
to this sentiment than do we Amer.
leans.
Americans are free people,. Espe.
cially are they prone to be free with
excuses. We have been a very indie.
pendent people In thinking and in act

our government.
But II ever there was a time when
excuses should be laid aside It is dur

French refugees returning from
Russia state that the Moscow soviet
has divided the people into three cate
gories, decreeing the number Of baths
each are permitted to take. Those
of the first group may bathe
themselves twice month, the
next group once month and those
in the third group may not bathe at
all. There is likely to be some con-
fusion about this arrangement, says
Washington Star. 1t is not impossi-
bic that those in the third category
may regard the scheme as devised for
their exaltation. Judging from some
of the performances of the bolsheviki,
the monthly bath may be considered
as the extreme penalty for misconduct,

THE suPERcAReo.

The United States shipping board
announces the revival of the ancient
and honorable title, office and emolu-
ments Of "supercargo." Readers of
sea tales Of bygone period will re-
call such a parsonage. The super
cargo formerly owed his position to
the circumstances that deep-sea ships
made trading voyages beyond the
reach Of communications, sometimes
being gone for year or more. The
supercargo went along as the per-
sonal representative Of the owners,
to sell or barter the cargo to the
best advantage. The sailors were apt
to look upon him as an irreclaim-
able landlubber. and because of the
strain Of constant companionship on
a protracted voyage he and the skip
per would often fall out. Voyages
nowadays are made more swiftly, and
to definite ports. with the sale of the
cargo of no concern to the shipowner.
while the return cargo is likely to be
arranged for in advance. And the
cable and wireless are always avail
able for conversation or instructions.
But the shipping board is confident it
can make supercargoes useful. A
force" of them will be organized to
sail on its ships as accredited officers
of the United States government"

The Victory Liberty Loan is the
price of peace. We can pay this
