Disabled Service
Men Urged to Ask
Governments Helm
Federal Board Seeks the
Names of Wounded to
Teach a Trade to Make
Them Self-Supporting

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education, which has branches in four
teen cities, wants to get in touch with
every disabled soldier, sailor and ma
rine. Those who are entitled to COM
pensation by reason of their injuries it
wants to instruct and make self-sup-
porting.
Free education in any one of score
of colleges and universities may be OBJ
tanned by such men. They may study
law, business, banking, agriculture or
the sciences, or they may be placed for
instruction in some plant where they
will become skilled workmen and OBJ
tain permanent positions at the end of
their periods of instruction.
While being trained these men re-
ceive the customary government allow
ances. A single man receives $65 a
month. If he is married and living
with his wife he gets $75 month, and
there is an additional allowance of $40
month for every child up to three.
Members Of the board, the headquar-
ters of which is in Washington, empha-
size the point that its work is not a
charitable enterprise. 1t is an obliga-
ton of the government toward the men
who suffered in its service. Its value
has been proved in Canada, where men
who received vocational training are
self-supporting and many Of them earn
ing more as skilled workmen than ever
before.
A warning is sounded against giving
semi-charity jobs to men incapacitated
by wounds or making" places for
them. Such positions, the board points
out, while indicating a patriotic spirit
on the part of employers, cannot be
permanent. Sooner or later they are
bound to be abolished in the rush of
business competition and their incum-
bents turned out, untitled for the bust
ness world The aim Of the vocational
board is to fit men to make places for
themselves and to hold them
Not all wounded men are accepted for
training by the board. All who are
entitled TO government compensation
are accepted, however, and the board
will advise and aid men suffering from
disabling wounds in obtaining. such
compensation. 1t is unnecessary and
inadvisable for them to retain attor-
neys for this purpose.
Many men who suffered impairing
injuries were discharged, it is said,
without being informed of the oppor-
tunities open to them. 1t is to these
that the board is particularly anxious
that its message be sent. 1t wants to
hear from them and wants their names
on its records.
AT the end of 1913 the number of
men registered with the board was
1854. In the cases Of 1918 compensa-
ton has been awarded; the cases of
9,217 had not been decided

LAKEHURsT, n. j., Feb. 2.-Ad-

that Camp Dix be maintained as a

1t is easy enough to see that this
is indeed automobile week in New
York. The motor car show has got
away to good start, having attracted
public interest apparently to the full,
as Of old times. They have desig-
mated this "Army and Navy" Day at
the Madison Square Garden and the
69th Regiment Armory, perhaps not
q little in honor Of Captain 4. V.
Rickenbacker, the American ace, who
is to be the guest of honor tonight
at q big dinner at the Waldorf AS
toria.
Secretary of State Hugo is making
an interesting exhibit in the armory
1t consists of collection of fake
registration plates corralled by the
authorities in various parts of the
state. Some of the plates are cleverly
made and some are so crude as to be
mlstakable for the sort that the state
itself used to issue three or four
years ago. You remember the kind
that chipped off half the surface the
moment the pressure was applied on
the wing nuts attached to the lcensei
holder?
The exhibit also includes a collec-
tion of 1919 license plates from the
states of the Union There is one
from Honolulu, too. The display will
cover regular circuit of New York
State shows, doing Buffalo, Rochester,
Syracuse, Albany, Elmira, etc, after
they're through here.
