New Regulations
In Rehabilitation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11-Repre-
s%entatives from the Federal Board for
Vocational Educational Education
have been sent to each Of the district
offices to explain new regulations in
the administration of the vocational
rehabilitation law. These regulations
were revised to meet the requirements
of recent changes in the law as m
ended by Congress. BY this recent
legislation the benefits of the rehabi-
sons disabled in the service-this, of
course, includes those suffering with
tuberculosis. The Federal Board is
given the entire responsibility of de-
termin;ng the right to and need for
vocational training of those persons
whose disability prohibits a return
to former occupations, and who r
unable without training to carry on
in a gainful one. The support of the
disabled man, with that of his Deepen
dents, is entirely the responsibility of
he Federal Board during his period
0 Training. The scale of payments
made to men in training range from
$50 a month, for the man with no de-
pendents, to $3.50 for the married man
with six or more children. A schedule
of graduated payments is also made
for the widower with children and for
the man with dependent father and
mother.

ALOSTT

The editor of the Boston Transcript wants to
know what has become of the long-haired authors
who were distinguished by eccentricities in both
dress and manners. He has failed utterly to To-
cate them in spite of his wide acquaintance with
popular American fiction writer's of the day. At
ter naming a number of these and noting their
sane habits and methods, the transcripts editor
goes on to say: Without exception they are SIM
ply men, each of them a mans man. If you would
go into the sanctum of any Of these men you would
lind it a business office, and you would find the
nan himself, not an author, but a human being,
4 business man, with no hint o. fads Or frills about
lim. He does his professional work seriously,
but does not take himself seriously. He is above
all things a simple and sincere type of the better
American business man."
Perhaps there have been authors, or more
likely poets, who made posing an important part
Of their business, but it strikes us that the ear
Ter impression of the transcripts editor was bas-
ed on what he saw and heard of the artist or near
artist rather than of the author. At all events
it is pretty we'll established that only among near
artists can one now hear solemn discourses upon
the artistic temperament" see eccentricities O.
manner or dress, and note a calculating persist
ence in making the bohemian life" a spectacular
affair. :

Every School in Blue GA $ State
to be organized into War S wings So
ciety.
Foundation for a wonCer-ll CAM
paign that will carry the message Of
thrift into every home in kantucky
is being laid by the War Sav.ags Or
~ganization, under the dire ion Of
James B. Brown, of Louis. le, who
was appointed State Directo, for the
Blue Grass State by Fed ,rll Direc-
tor l.. A. Wilson, of the Eighth Fed
eral Reserve District.
The school is the instrume / chosen
through which to drive hone the les
son sof saving. During te vacation
period the teachers instit ties r
held in every county. Each n of
these institutes is attended by A. j.
Jolly, in charge of the ed lcational
work in Kentucky, OF one o. his as
%sistants, and the teachers are enlis-
ted under the banner of Thrift.
Teachers are shown the Advantages
of saving. They are shown the vast
advantages offered by the War Saw
ings Stamp offered by the United
States Government. They are instruc-
ted in Thrift Stamp movement, where
by the pupils can invest their quarters
and watch the mgrow into s. govern
ment bonds. The War Savings
Stamps, an dthe new issues of 500
and $1,000 Treasury Certificates, with
identical features of the smaller Val
Savings Stamps, are also dwelt on.
In fact each teacher is instructed,
and in nearly every institute in Ken
lucky this summer, every teacher has
signed a pledge card agreeing to de-
vote a certain time to instruction in
Thrift and t oorganize a War Savings
Society in his room when books take
up" early in September.
Mr.. Jolly in a recent visit to head
quarters at St. Louis, said the respon-
ses to the Kentucky teachers had ex-
ceeded expectations and h was sat
isfied that more money would be a v
ed by pupils during the next scol-
astic year than any other year in the
history of Kentucky.

STAMPS ARE
NOT NEGOTIABLE

Recent statements appearing in the
public prints tending to indicate that
Wal Savings Stamps may be used as
collateral to secure loans, or for other
purposes, are erroneous, according to
a statement by l.. A. Wilson, Federal
Director for the War Savings Organ
ization for the Eighth Federal Reser-
We District.
It is directly ~antagonistic to the
Federal law, says Wilson. The law
explicitly states that War Savings
Stamps are not negotiable and may
not be transferred by the holder. He
may if necessity demands that he OBJ
tains the money he has invested in
them, give ten days notice and have
them redeemed at any post office. But
20 negotiate them through any chan
mel not prescribed by the Government
is prohibited.

q man VINO was later TO eclipse III"
in fortune building, Carnegie, at 80
years of age, invested in oil. As one
Of a syndicate he bought up a vast
tract of oil land. In a year, to the sur
rise of all the investors, it paid the
astonishing return of 81, ZOO, 900 in
cash dividends upon a capital of
$4,000.
But iron was the magnet then at
tracing Carnegie. The railroads
were experimenting with cast iron
bridges. Carnegie foresaw the demand
for a factory hat could turn out the
iron parts, and he formed the Keys
tone Bridge Works. They built, as
their first great piece, a bridge over
the Ohio river, with a span Of 800
feet.
Carnegie then. began to see that
iron rails must be given up for steel.
On a visit to England in 1868, he dis
covered the success being obtained
there with the Bessemer process.
Carnegie quietely brought it home,
and before the English makers We're
aware of the fact, he had adopted it
in his mills.
It was certain that the grip which
he had upon the steel situation made
!, his elimination necessary if others IN
quest of wealth in steel were to rea-
!, lie the millions they saw going to
! him. He was, accordingly, bought
, out in 1901. The syndicate headed By
: j. P. Morgan, which desired to form
the billion dallor United States Stee
Corporation, paid $4,000 900 il
| their five per cent bonds for the Car
a negie Company's holdings.
Carnegie's mother, to whom h
repeatedly gave credit for all that h
t was, lived to be an ~octagenarian, an
: so devoted was he to her that he hest
n tated to marry.
AS an American citizen he estab
It lished a magnificent home in Ney

e and at the same time negotiated tn
purchase of the celebrated Skibo Cas-
s tie in Scotland.
On his Skibo Castle flag staff h
flew the Stars and Stripes and tn
Union Jack-Sewed together.
The attacks upon Carnegie We're a
', one time numerous. He, was ofte
accused of having violated in prac
tice what he had so co~nspicuousl
h preached in theory, regarding Labor
j. He saw the development of work
mems unions and sometimes wa
r. forced to concede their demands. H
himself claimed to have always mair
tanned a relatively higher wage in hi
If mills than any other manufacturer.

AS GEORGIA WOMEN WISHED.

Noting that the woman suffrage amendment
was overwhelmingly defeated in the Georgia leg
i~slature, the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph re-
marks: apparently the traditions of Georgia
were offended by something more than the pro
position that Congress should dictate as to who
should or should not vote. Judging from the re
ported debate which has been progressing for
some time, the action of President Wilson, who
sent a telegram urging ratification as an act of
expediercy and who followed it up by sending
Senator Harris-the Presidents handipicked sue
cessor to the rebellious Hardwick-to enforce his
recommendations, caused quite as much resent
ment as the amendment ITSELF"
This omits to mention perhaps the most i'm
portant factor. The Southern States are jealous
of their home-rule rights under the Constitution,
including the right to extend or limit the franch-
ise as they Sc fit without interference from the
outside, but in this instance the Georgia Legislature
no doubt responded to what is believed to be the
sentiment of the majority of the women of the.
State. In these humping times we are apt to for
get that the call for the ballot is by no means uni
versal among women and that in the South at
least it unquestionably comes from a minority.

Harrisburg Navy Will
Hear of River Plans
at Annual Banquet

At an enthusiastic meeting of
members of the executive committee
of the Greater Harrisburg Navy in
the Park Department offices last
evening, plans were completed for
next Friday evenings banquet at
which medals will be presented the
winners of various events during the
Kipona celebration Labor Day.
Reports were received from the
various committees and it was found
that so many requests for tickets
had been received that it will be
necessary to hold the affair in the
Penn-Harris ballroom.
Warren H. Manning, the city's
expert, will be the principal speaker
and will outline his ideals in regard
to Harrisburg's possibilities for
river development. Admiral ]. Will
liam Bowman will preside and there
will be number of other speakers.
Plans for reorganization of the
Navy to make a greater factor in
furthering comprehensive plans for
river development were presented at
last evenings meeting and it is al
together probable that this event
will mark the beginning of an ac-
tive move for real river develop
ment.
Ira &. k1ndler Is chairman or the
banquet committee and tickets may
be obtained from him or from any
member of the executive committee.
Conoeists and others actively inter
ested in river development are much
interested in the affair and will be
on hand in large numbers to give
their ideas in regard to municipal
/ lighthouses, bathing beaches and
other river development plans.
