Extend the Provisions.

The law now provides that If a man
loses both hands, both feet. or the
sight of both eyes, or becomes helpless
and permanently bedridden, he shall
receive 500 Il month compensation.
Experience has shown that many men
who have lost an arm and leg, or one
limb and the sight of one eye, are just
as badly crippled as men who have
lost both feet or both hands. and so
the bureau has recommended that in
addition TO the injuries at present en-
titling man to compensation at the
rate of 500 month, the following
shall be included: The loss of one foot
and one hand the loss of one foot and
the sight of one eye. These are deem
ed total and permanent disability" by
the express wording of the amend
ment. There is also provision that
for double total permanent DISABLE
lty," meaning cases in which men are
MANNED so seriously that their injuries
include two of these classificatlons, the
compensation shall be 5000 month.
The bureau has found a very wide
spread sentiment among ex-service
men in favor Of having their policies
made payable in lump sum, or in In
stallments covering short period Of
time, at their option. To meet this
demand Director Cholmeley-Jones has
urgently recommended modification
of the war risk insurance act TO permit
making provision in the contract for
converted insurance for optional set
Elements on the part Of the insured,
making such insurance payable either
in one sum or in installments for thr-
ty-six months or more.
If the insured has not exercised his
right of election, under the proposed
amendment the beneficiary may elect
to receive the insurance In monthly

HOW HE EARNED HIS CROSS

Corporal Sing Kee, color sergeant of the Three Hundred and Sixth in- fantry of the Seventy-seventh Di- vision, holds, one may fairly be- lieve, the distinction of being the only American soldier of Chinese descent who ever won a Croix de Guerre in France. The corporal is a modest warrior, not loquacious in the tongue of his fellow soldiers, and when asked by reporter to tell how he won his cross he replied What did I do? I did. That's all.' Others, however are more explicit, and what Corporal Sing Kee really did was to carry messages through gas and shell fire. He was one of the twenty runners between com manders of advanced battalions at Mont Notre Dame, and at the end of the second day the corporal was the only one remaining still in action. Late in the afternoon he was gassed by the enemy but man. aged to reach his destination. After that came the Croix de Guerre, honorably earned by the American soldier of Chinese percentage who "just did, that's all. ."-Christian Sci ence Monitor.

THE TRACTOR SAVES LABOR

A large increase in the manufac- ture and sale of tractors is expected this year. There are today only 18O,O00 farm tractors in use. In a land of 6,000,000 farms, this is cer- tainly not many. But the movement has just started.
 Manufacturers have estimated that the 1919 aggregate of farm tractors will reach 314,936, this figure being based on reports made to the United States Department of Agriculture. The tractors manufac- tured in 1918 numbered only 132,- 697. The reports indicate that this figure will be doubled this year.
 The significant thing about these figures is that the application of the gasoline motor to farming is plainly on the eve of great expansion and development. All sorts of changes are predicted as a result. The horseless farm is in prospect and there are said to be horseless farms already in California. Also the hired manless far mis coming. One energetic man can today, with the aid of the tractor, cultivate far more acres than ever one man could cultivate before, and there is no tell ing how much he may be able to do n the near future, as he applies in- ternal combustion more and omre to his purpose.-Farm Life.

BATE OF THE RED rERRoR

It is a ten to one shot that Rus sian bolshevism will blow up and blow out as suddenly as French ter rorism vanished a century and a quarter ago.
 Up to date the Russian revolution travels precisely the old track laid down by the French revolution, writes Girard in the Philadelphia Press.
 First Mirabeau and his solid type of revolutionists started the thing and put the skids under King Louis.
 Then along came such blood let ting terrorists as Danton, Murat and Robespierre with their merciless gull lotine working day and night be- heading kings and queens and mo- bles.
 Then appeared the master Napo- leon, who quickly made France one of the best ordered, best organized and most prosperous lands on earth.
 Russia's Mirabeau phase passed with the peaceful and practically bloodless dethroning of the czar. Then followed the terrorists, Lenine and Trotsky. AM
 Frances reign of terror lasted only couple of years.
 It does not seem possible that among Russia's 180,000,000 people there is not Bonaparte to catch the wild horses and put bridle on them.
 After it was over it seemed an incredible easy thing to turn Gut King Louis and Czar Nicholas.
 It will be just as easy for Russia to upset her present masters as to unseat the Romanoffs.
 It is a poor sort of a revolution that can't revolve all the way around and keep the heels of both the czar and the bolsheviki off our necks.

1.-THE LONELY GIRL

Without one of the mosst interest ing by-products of a city's insatia- ble demand for office and shop en- poyees, the lonely girl, the fiction writers would be in sad predica- ment, and the city would be in a worse predicament. Whether these girls better their conditions by mil grating to the cities apparently makes no difference. They come in vast numbers, find work at more or less satisfactory salary and manage to live in what seems to their youth something like the splendor which they fel all about them. But a good many of them, strong, sensible girls find difficulty in reconciling the rules of conventional decorum and the loneliness which at times is op- pressive.
 Finding fault with the customs which insure satisfactory standards of human behaviors far as intelli- gent and moral people are concerned is quack device for attracting at tnetion and is so drowned upon by  convention that every agency for the promotion of social opportunities fir girls recignizes it as dominant and to be discreetly dealt with. This, of course, is a challenge to frivolity, and it is strange but common fact that frivolity passes among great many people as pleasure-not the experinece of course, but the spec tacle. Inability to analyze the froth life of the city is said to accentuate the loneliness of many girls.
 Brushing aside "careers" annd economic independence" the aim of the social machinery is to marry these girls to healthy young men with enough determination to earn a living and raise a family. This is the career laid down for most girls, hence this very admirable hu man race. The girl reared in nor nal surroundings that recognize the tendency of girls to marry, who is sucked into the greedy nav of the city, goes through revolutionary process which upsets her whole con ception of life. It is no wonder she is lonely.-Indianapolis News.

UMBRELLA PERFECTION

It is the little things which make for perfection, we are told. An in- ventor has perfected device which certainly shows taste for perfec- ton. No one is unfamiliar with the strip of tape with catch which is used snugly to wind up closed um- brellas. When the umbrella is open this piece of tape dangles and pen dulates in a way that undoubtedly is offensive to some. The inventor in question has made an invention which provides means of slowing away the pendant into the interior of the opened umbrella by means of a snapping device.

STEEL AND IRON

Steel is kind of iron which can easily be hammered out thin without cracking and can be made extremely hard by being heated and then cool ed quickly. It is different from orr dinary iron because of the amount of carbon in it. Wrought iron con tains less carbon than steel and so it cannot be made so hard; cast iron contains more and so it is brittle.

Through the United States Employ
ment Service Of the Department OF
Labor, all Government and private
organisations, both national and 10
cal, have pooled their efforts to assist
discharged soldiers and sailors In OBJ
tanning suitable employment.
In every city and town there is be-
ing established q Bureau for Return
ing Soldiers and Sailors at which all
information regarding employment
openings in the locality Is concen-
trated. In addition, the United States
Employment Service has stationed a
representative in IS army camps and
posts in this country to give men be-
fore they are discharged information
as to employment and as to getting
in touch with the nationwide facil-
tiles for their assistance.
Through these camp representa-
tives. it is possible for a man in camp
to register for employment, and his
card will be sent to the agency of the
Employment Service for the town or
city to which he intends to go after
release. BY Arrangement with the
Postmaster General, any man, who
after release. wants assistance in find
ing employment, can go to his local
postmaster and learn the location OF
the local Bureau for Returning Sol
diers and Sailors.
The local Bureaus can give more
than information as to local open
ings; through the interstate and in
tercOmmunity clearance system of the
United States Employment Service
each Bureau is in touch with employ
ment opportunities in other parts OF
the country.
