SOLDIERS TRAINING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-Dib-
charged soldiers suffering with tu7
berculosis are placed in training by
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education under the same conditions
that men with other hahdicaps are;
some with support during training,
others without support, and a few
while they are still in the army hos,
pitfalls. The establishment of the
medical status of the tuberculosis
soldier is consideration in his ELI
gibility for traininf. The midical of
fcer must pronounce his Gaze ap, ar
entity cured, arrested, OF apparently
so, before he is recommended lor
training. Quiescent cases of pull
monary tuberculosis, having had neg
alive sputum for a period of at least
two months, must be specially recon-
mcnded by the district medical officer
and during the. course must remain
under expert medical supervision,
If the soldier has still an active
form of the disease and is receiving
hospital treatment, he may be given
training only upon the endorsement
of the hospital authorities, who shall
approve the nature of the course pro-
vided, Correspondence courses along
the lines of their previous experienc-
es are frequently desired by hospital
patients. Men whose cases are ,ac-
tive, but who refuse to take hospi-,
tai treatment are considered by the
Board as ineligible for training at
the time but their cases will be con
sidered when they are physically able
to undertake the work.

JOBS FOR 100000

Uncle Sam is preparing to put an
army OF 100000 men and women I to
work at counting his nieces and i cp-
hews on January 2, 1920. This VII
be the 18th decennial census pro Vid-
ed for by the Constitution. Setre-
tary Redfeld, in whose charge this
enormous task has been placed, es-
Inmates that the country will show i
population Of 120,000,000. This
seems a conservative figure. AL
though the counting is to begiJ on
January 2, the enumerators will pre-
sent their blanks week OF so i / ad-
vance, so that they can be coli ected
on that day 1t will probably take
several months to get the ata tistics
in shape. The figures, howe Vtr, will
present a graphic picture of the
changes in American life. Thus,
automobiles, rural free delivery and
rural telephones and score of other
improvements have made life on the
farm as livable as for the city
dweller. Secretary Redfeld expects
to discover that our rural population
which for decades has been going
backward-will also show comrar-
atively greater increase than that of
the cities. There will also be q re-
arrangement in the schedules of the
states. Texas is exnected to dispFace
Ohio as the fourth state in the Union
and may give Ilhnois-now In the
third place-a hard run to retain that
title. As of July 1, 1918, the Census
Bureau estimated Texas population
as 1901, 279, against 5,273,814 for
Illinois. New York with 10,600,989
and Pennsylvania with 8.798,067
seem sure to retain their rank.--Os-
