DISABLED MEN CAN
 LEARN NEW WORK
Farm Mechanics Profitable and Attractive Vocation for War
 Disabled Men

Washington, Feb. 11.-In other days d farm mechanic" was usually chap who could solder up the hole in milk bucket, repair the pump or paint the wagon, or tinker with the clock. To- day the term means that he is d high ly skilled artisan, employed as such by larger farms. In the blowing sea- son he is tractor operator engineer of the motive machinery which pulls the gang blows, harrOWs and seeders do- ing the work at one cut of half a dozen blow teams and men.
 He is engineer and superintendent of the reaping and thrcshing in their season. He SuperViSeS and operates the cutting of silage and filling of slos. He takes care of the dairy ma chne1N or the electric light plant of the farm. He looks after the upkeep of the auto obiles and trucks of the esta bIishment. Such are, in general, the duties of the farm mechanic" for which dsa bled soldiers are being re-educated by the United States gov ernment through the federal board for vocational education. Disabled men are given a support fund of $65 per month while studying and "dc- Quate support for dependents. All cN- penses of the course are paid by the government.
 War isa bled farm boys are pre- ferred for education along these lines, their practical knowledge of agricul- ture being d valuable and almost es- sential basis upon which to build. Large farm and plantation owners, forced by labor conditions to turn more to mechanical Ia abor-saVng de- vices, are eager bidders for compe- tent men and offer attra CtiVe salaries.
 The federal board for vocational ed ucatiOn at WaShng on is dcsrous of getting into UnicatiOn with war dsa bled farm NOur-~ men who would be interested in taking training for the farm mechanics and similar pOnrSpS

Hearinr From the People.
(NeW York WOrld.)

I
 While the War Revenue Blll as finally adopted by the House still car ries that section which penalizes the purchase of shirts, hats and other articles of clothing above certain grade of quality or price, assurances are given that it will be repealed by joint resolution as soon as possible
 These taxes, we are told by Chair man Kitchin. had been put into the bill before the armistice and for the purpose of forcing economy in eA- Denditure among the people. IheE could not be dropped from the hlll pH the conference committee ot the two Houses because that would be new Iegislation, which is outside the pro- vince of a conference committee un- der the rules.
 Such assurances when acted upon will not make the measure any the less popular nor deprive the Treasury of anv great amount of revenue. The taxes provided are meddleSome, vexatious and paternalistic in prm- ciple The particular reason gwen TOT their being is, moreover, contradlcled bv the bill itself and by the facts or the situation. If war prices TOT com modities and the huge taxes on indi- Nidual incomes are ol Ho o'tlllOl0ii' effect in restraining eXtraVa gance in personal expenditure, what is to De eN- pacted along that line of the special shirt anr hat taxes?
 The fact is that the framers of the bill have been hearing from the people about the matter. They had been med ding with the American citizens per sOnal ordering of his own personal af- fairs and they are now feeling hlS resentment This is a warning to the legislative powers of the country and an experience for the people in as serting themselves in relation to their own government which should have a SalutarN effect.

MILAN PASSES BUCK
 ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 Expresses Hope That Question Will Be Settled by Vote

Washington, Feb. II. - Senator George r. Mclean has passed the buck' on the woman suffrage queS- ton to number of members of the Connecticut legislature, who have urged him to vote for the measure
 Letters and tolegrams have been received by Senator Mclean in thG past few weeks from mem bers of the Connecticut legislature urging him to vote for woman suffrage In reply to these Senator Mclean Ss writing that he hopes the COnnec- ticut leg;sla ture will pass by a two thirds vote the amendment now pend ing to submit the question to the people of the state, and expressing his conviction that this is the proper way to handle the question instead of tying Connecticut up to woman suffrage by federal constitutional amend ment before il is determined that ths people are in favor of it.
 copy of a letter such as Senator Mclean is writing to the members of the Connecticut legislature who have written and wired him on the subject fell into the correspondents hands today. It reads:
 T have your telegram urging me to vote for the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment and I will reply to you as 1 have replied to similar messages.
 II understand that there is a suf- frage amendment now pending in Connecticut l hope it vii receive the tWo-thirds vote required for it's sub mission. l believe the people of Con necticut desire and should have an opportunity to decide this question for themselves. This would clearly be impossible if the federal amend ment should pass the senate and l do not feel justified in depriving my con- stitutents of the long cherished and long exercised privilege of answering for themselves questions of broad pub lie policy where the Connecticut con- stitutiOn makes provision therefor"
 Miss Catherine Luddington of HaR- ford and two other Connecticut sui fragists called on Senator Mclean to- day and left with him 6 petition sign ed, they said by 83,000 Connecticut women, urging passage of the federal suffrage amendment.

SHIMMY SHOCKING
 OLD NEW ROCHELLE
Priest Objects to Naughty Wrl8-
 gIjnS at ReCreational Center

New Rochelle. Feb 1l.--There is indignation in New Rochelle. The shimmy. that naughty dance from San Francisco's BarbarN coast, the New Orleans underworld, he Chicago dives and certain Broadway shows when the vaudeville thcaters and Deputy Police Commissioner O'GradN, of New York have banned. has been danced in that ouict little residential city on the Sound
 Father Manzelli, pastor of St. Jo seph's church in New Rochelle, made the revelation yesterday. He said that the shimmv. known also as the gcla- tinOus Wigole, was dem Onstrated last Friday night in the recreation center of the Columbus Public school And he went on to say to reporters:
 "I have no objection to the reCrea- lion center providing it is kept within the bounds for which it is intended. Otherwise, instead of being q center of recreation. it will become one of dcnora lization. I do not hesitate to say that the situation at this center is deplora blc and needs better super vision."
 The charges of the priest shook New Rochelle even more than the shimnlN has shaken it. Practically the whole town felt outraged and wanted to know whether conditions were as black as they were painted.
 The supervisor of recreation, who was the subject of Father Manzelli's s statem ent that the center needed bet ter supervision, is Miss Matilda ChriStman.
 "I do not know whether the dance has been danced by the young people at the recreation center" said she.
 If it has, I have not seen them do- ing it. But I may say that since Father Manzelli's protest I have for bidden even the fox trot The only dance now permitted at the center is the one-step."
 One New Rochelle fat man said he had been dancing the shimmy for two weeks and had sha ken off ton pounds of superf1uouS flesh. He did not look upon the dance as a mere dance, he said, but as a health exercise.
 But the city in general agreed with Father Manzelli and felt that if con- ditions were as bad as he said, some thing ought to be done

Task of AmeriCaniZatiOn.
(\eW York GlObe)

In this state are nearly 600, ,00O per sons who are unable to speak lEngllsh more than half a million of whom are a above the age of 21. Of these, 5000 are unahle to read or write any Ian guage No wonder Governor smith should receive with favor the sugges- tion for a comprehensive campaign against this illiteracy!
 There is no more important ques- tion than the one of Am ericanlzauo and it is time this state took it up seriously. One stumbling block in the past has been the foreign language newspaper. Many foreigners who otherwise would have learned our Ian euage have not felt the necessity of doing so on account of the ease with which they have been able to obtain a newspaper printed in their native tongue. They are willing to adopt this country as their oWn but not to, ac- cept it's customs or it's language The rOreign-languag neWSpa perS could be made an important factor in the scheme of AmcricanzatiOn by cOn- Delling them. for instance. to print lessons in English and to publish part of their contents in the VernaCular. :Anericanization of foreigners in this country never will be completed as long as we foster the existence of na- tional groups.

La Dor-CWned Railroads.
(BOStOn Post. )

1t does not seem likely that the railroad brotherhoods' proposition calling upon the government to buy the la roads from the present pri- Vatc owners and turn them over on the suggested rental basis for the em plOyees to operate will meet with gen eral approval on the part of either congress or the public.
 In brief, the unions plan is to is sue government bonds in sufficient amount to take over the capital stocks of the railroads at present market values; to then turn the operation of the roads over to the unions; which, after deducting all operating expenses and wages, would agree to pay the government q rental of , per cent, and to divide any sur plus profit over and above this rental on a 50-50 basis between the gov ernment and the employees.
 There are several big holes in this proposition. The first is that the present owners of railroad securities may not care to sell out at present market values. because present market values are probably on the average 20 per cent. less than the prices paid for the securities. Most holders of railroad securities enter tain the well-founded hope that under more favora ble business conditions their securities will appreciate in value.
 The second and larger hole is that the government is asked to take all the risk Of the venture. because the e incurred the government shall bear the entire loss. It is not difficult to conceive that where the unions arc permitted to name their own wages before doducting the rental for the government, deficit and not a profit would be the usual thing to expect
 The third and largest hole is that the people do not want any more government bonds issued except those that are necessary to pay for the war

Drop I'm in Water and the Kick
 Begins to Kick.

. London, Feb. 11.-Pellets and pills of concentrated WhisIey or beer may yet defeat the prOhibitionists in America if the dreams of certain Eng fish chemists are realized, according to a special dispatch to tho New Norll World During the war much prog ress was made in condensing food into tabloid form, and it is thought alco- holic beverages will lend themselves 10 similar met hOds of con nCentration. In that event, any man could carry his "still' in his waist tcoat-instead of under his waistcoat-the still being a bottle full of beer or whiskey pellets Such a pellet, dropped into a glass of near beer,' or any such saIubrious concoction, would add decided "kick" to it.
 That there has been no need Of such pills has delayed ingenuity in this di- rection, but it is, expected prohibition will inspire and accelerate palliative invention.

TRADE CONGRESS TO
 MEET AGAIN IN MAY
Bernc Convention -AdiOurns; Germans Protest Forced Labor by War
 Prisoners in France.

Bcrne, Feb. 10.-The international trades union congress, which has beens- meeting here at the same tune with the international socialist conference, adjourned today after deciding to meet again in May at a place to be selected later.
 The last question discussed was demand by Herr Scheneberger, Ger man delegate. whether the French and English delegates were prepared tc condemn the employment of German prisoners on forced labor and tire maintenance of the blockade. Leon Jouhaux. a French delegate and pres ident of the French labor federation replied that it was impossible to ad- init the principle of forced labor or forced famine. However, he added, the deportations by the Germans from Belgium and northern France and the Urea tment of Russian prisoners after the treaty of Brest-Litovsk made 1t difficult for his party to intervene with the French government.
