COUNTYS new JAIL TO
Be FINISHED JULY IS
Framework Of Old Building About
Only Part Used in RemOd-
elled Structure.

Thurston county's remodelled Jail,
on which work was started a month
ago. will be completed about July Is,
Sheriff Clifford says.
The cost of the new Jail will be be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000, the
framework of the old building being
about the only part of it utilized in
the construction of the new jail. The
Pauly jail system is being installed
and an up to date heating system.
Everything will be strictly mod
ern," Sheriff Clifford says, land we
expect to have a Jail that Thurston
county will be proud of when it is
completed"
A special section Of the Jail is being
furnished for the women prisoners.
AS there has been no place in the
county Jail to confine women priso-
ners heretofore, it has been the prac-
tice to place them in the keeping of
some person in a private home. No
doubt, following the completion of
the Jail, the middle of July, a police
matron will be appointed at the
county Jail.

amount of Office and routine work re-

ONE CITIZEN FROM
EVERY SOLDIER IS
PROBLEM OF BOARD
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PUTS
NEW PROSPECTS BEFORE
DISABLED ONES

WASHINGTON. May 2s.-To make
the number Of returned citizens equal
to the number Of returned soldiers is
the problem that is now before the fed
eral board for vocational education.
About two million of our soldiers have
been returned to civil life. Two hun
dred thousand have been wounded but
many of these will soon be physically
it is estimated that at least 10 per cent
Of them have handicaps which must be
overcome. From the latest reports
tuberculosis is responsible for % per
cent of the disabilities incurred, wounds
not necessitating amputation and mis-
cellaneous wounds for 81 per cent.
nerve diseases for s.3 per cent and
wounds requiring amputation per
cent
To make these 10000 disabled SOL
diers the equal Of 10000 citizens con-
tributing economically and socially to
their community life, is the duty dele
gated to the federal board by the gov
eminent. 1t is a difficult problem but
results are being found. The great
majority of these young men are under
80 years of age; youth plus will power
is one Of the known quantities in the
equation. The broad scope of the
training given is one of the chief fac
tors in the solution. Whatever a man
wishes. to train for, wherever he wants
to train, the federal board stands ready
to advise as to the proper course and
to provide suitable place where his
ambition may be attained. More than
one hundred different courses are
already being given under the direc-
ton of the federal board in almost 400
institutions of learning scattered
throughout the country from Florida to
the great Northwest to 1850 men who
have begun their training. In the few
months that have elapsed since the
boys began their homeward journey.
nearly 5000 of these disabled soldiers.
after comforting with the federal board
have started life again. some placed by
the board and others self placed, some
in the old jobs others in new and bet
ter ones. The process is fascinating,
the results are interesting. Plumbers,
too disabled to work at their trade,
have become sanitary inspectors; farm
laborers are being trained for agricul-
tural specialists; wounded tailors are
studying designing and wireless teleg
raphers are being made out Of wound
ed barbers-whle n stone cutter with
a weak heart is now doing the work of
a secretary
Up to May LIST the central office had
approved courses for 1876 of these
men. The equation is being completed
and each days results are proving that
returned disabled soldiers plus train
ing and application. are equivalent to
returned citizens upon whom the ma
tion may confidently depend for its
future welfare and happiness.

not succeeded in doing. although they
had loosened the BAH by use Of piece
Of joist and partly separated the roof of
the building. These boys were rounded
up and called into the ofice at the

Preparations for the May Festival
at City hall Saturday afternoon. May
3, are rapidly nearing completion and
all indications point to an unusually
good program.
The committee in charge received
yesterday three kilograms of great
importance. The first was from
Mother Goose stating that she would
surely be present at the festival and
do her darndest to give the children
a good time. The second was from
Old Mother Hubbard stating that
she would surely be present if the
road to Augusta was anywhere near
passable. (And thanks to yesterdays
sunny weather the going is sure to
be ali right by Saturday,. The COM
mittee were especially relieved to
receive this acceptance from Old
Mother Hubbard as they feared she
might not have recovered yet from
the severe attack of influenza which
stretched her at deaths door for
three long weeks this winter. The
third telegram was from the Old Wo-
man who lived in a Shoe and read,
as follows: Cant come, haven't
anyone to stay with the children

program until someone suggested
that she bring her children along
