Harrisburg. July 9.-'FhP state is
about to begin the work of saving hu-
man wrecks On earnest.
One of the results of tho world war
has been to demonstrate that il is pos
siblc to take an apparently hOprlcsSly
manned or crippled worker and restore
him to his place as n useful member
of society and unit in tho industrial
army of the people.
The state of PENNSYLVANIA. profting
by the example of Belgium. France and
England. has set aside S5O. 900 a year
for the ensuing two years to restore to
vocational trades and pursuits the men
injured in mills. mines and factories.
These men few years ago would have
been regarded as hopclessly crippled.
and would have been consigned. as has
been the case through the ages. to the
human scrap heap. the recipients OF
aims. and objects of sympathy.

took up the subject with his co workers
on the commission, and for months past
has been working along similar lines.
There has been no exploitation of this
phase of tho boards work When the
Legislature was presented with the ac-
compliShcd fact and asked to apprO
pirate 800. 900 to this specific purpose
the subject did not attract more than a
passing mention.
Mr.. Mackcy wont into detail and dc =
scribed the process by which the work
thus far has been accomplished. In a
general way he tod how it would be

tho next two years was at the disposal
of the board.
"No matter how big or sturdy d
workman may be. once he is injured by
the loss of leg or an arm, or both
of them. hc becomes prey TO dcspond
scncy," said Mr.. Mackcy. His means
of livelihood arc curtailcd or entirely re
moved. The fu'ure holds little hope
for him. In some cases he becomes
depressed to degree that borders oil
melanchoia. This is particularly true
if he is the father of n family. Com.
pcnsaton under the law for his in.
jury is the one ray of hope.
"He begins casting around for some
way of utilizing this compensation
money. His first thought. as q rule. i,
to start cigar shop or n small grocery
store. Perhaps he endcavors to get d
job as Waterman or gatekecper at {
nominal wage. His condition is con.
stantly on his mind and he loses am
bition. Here is where the first ster
toward rehabilitation is undertaken by
the board Only skilled and sympathetic
men are employed in this work.
The injured workman is approached
in a spirit of optimism. 1t is menta
process. The attempt is made to con.
vince him that his misfortune is bless
ing in disguise. that the world is not sc
dark as it looks. and that his oppor
tunities of earning as much if not more
money than before have really been i'm
proved He is now thrown absolutely
on his own resources. Is he willing
to make a fight? He must not give way
to despair if he is to succeed. Finally
he begins to assume more cheerful as

Instances of Rehabilitation

Another case was that of a young
man who suffered the loss of his right
leg and left arm while employed in
mine. He was outfitted with an arti-
fetal leg, taught to operate an elevator

he was formerly employed, thereby

An unusual instance was that Of a
steel worker who had lost his left leg.
He was encouraged to return to his
work at the same employment, after
being supplied with an artificial leg,
and he is today receiving his former

The most remarkable story. however.
is that of an employe of a coal company
in the western part OF the state. He

the compensation due him was com =

"The referendum conducted ny the

ability. He is given an opportunity to
train himself. If he is a mechanic and
has lost leg he is set to work with
machinery where he can move about and
have free use of his hands.
He now begins to take real in
tcrcst. The work has charm for him.
He sees an opportunity for making good
wages like other men. even though he is
partly crippled. The rest is easy, and
our work is completed by restoring this
