TO TRAIN MORE
DISABLED MEN
Federal Board of Vocational
Education Announces
Its Plans

Washington, Aug. 30.-Pians ts.s
more than double the number or
discharged soldiers, sailors and zzas-
rines receiving rehabilitation trafu-
ing were announced to-day by tpo
Federal Board of vocational educs-
tion. The increase will be made
at the fall opening of schools and
colleges. More than seven thou-
sand men now are receiving trairI.
ing.
There have been delays in CARRY
ing out the work of vocational re-
habilitation" said the boards state
ment but most OF them have beer
due to causes which were beyonE
the control of the board and which
it has made unceasing effort to re-
move.
Nearly six months elapsed after
the passage of the Rehabilitation
Act, before the agents of the FEEDER
nj Board were admitted to the mill
tary and naval hospitals. This eX-
clusion was a necessary war mea-
sure; but during this period, as well
as during the fourteen months
which elapsed between our enter
ing the war and June 81, 191Ss
when the Act became law, thou
sands of disabled men were dis
charged and were scattered all over
the United States without any
knowledge of their rights under the
| law. Altogether, more than a year
and a half of precious time was
! lost.
Under the terms of the Rehabi-
litation Act the Federal Board could
| put no disabled man in training
until after he was declared COM
pensable by the War Risk Insur-
! ance Bureau. The amendment cur
ing this difficulty and allowing
prompt action by the Federal Board
did not become law till July IL,
! 1919.
"The Board has made excellent
progress, for on August 1, it had es-
tablished contact with 10000 of
the 100000 men registered, had
|
proved over $4,000 cases for train
ing and had put 1872 men in train
! ing.
Those men, as of July 26, were
! in 449 public and private secondary
schools, in 159 institutions of COL
lege grade and in 36S industrial and
other plants. They are being train
ed for 1858 different line of ac-
tivity and. by utilizing means OF
training rather than creating new
schools for rehabilitation, the men
are being better trained and mil
lions of dollars have been saved to
the United States. Since legisla
ton giving the board a free hand
did not pass until July, when most
schools and colleges are closed. the
full measure of training activity
cannot be reached until the latter
part of September. At that time
the present number in training will
be much more than doubled"

A most enjoyable feature of the
Sunday school convention held this
week at Rhodes Grove, near Green
castle, was the talk on hymns given
by the we'll known blind organist
and composer, Adam Geibel, of
ten at least 1900 hymns and on
Ften at least 1900 hymns and on
Wednesday evening composed n very
beautiful hymn at the Grove.
It was said in music circles during
the week that d. d. Hollenbaugh,
who has been the tenor of the quar-
tet at Pine Street Presbyterian
church for a number of years, will
not be heard in that church the
coming year. He has, it was said,
taken a position in a church of the
denomination with which he is af-
tiliated.
Stewart Black, organist at Beth
lehem Lutheran church, who has
been the accompanies for the Penn
Sylvania Railroad Concert Company,
has retired from that position be-
cause of other duties that command
his time. Mr.. Black is a splendid
musician and will be missed at the
piano by the railroad company sing
erS.
At Second Reformed church to-
morrow morning the offertory solo
will be Nevin's THE Hills of God"
The anthem will be Lowden's II Will
EXtol Thee In the evening Mrs.
Goblin Vallerchamp will sing Louis
Jacobys beautiful setting of 80,
Lamb of God"

Ozma. For If with the aid OF
my brave followers 1 cannot accom-
plish my purpose. then It would b.
useless for you to undertake the
journey"
Quite true" sighed the Princess
so, If you'll excuse me, 1 will now
retire to my cabinet. I've worn this
head quite awhile. and l want TO
change il for another"
When she had left them (and
you may be sure no one was sorry
to see her go) Ozma said to Tx
tok:
Will you join our party?"
Il am the slave of the girl Dor
oth-y, who rescued me from pris-
on replied the machine.
Where she goes l will co.
"Oh, | am going with my friends.
Il wouldn't miss the fun for any
thing. Will you go. too, Billina?'
ITO be sure" said Billina in q
careless tone. She was smoothing
down the feathers OF her back and
not paying much attention.
Heat is just in her line" re-
marked the Scarecrow. "If she is
nicely roasted, she will be better
than ever"
Then" said Ozma, I'VE will ar
range to start for the Kingdom of
the Nomes at daybreak tomorrow.
And, in the meantime, we %vill rest
and prepare ourselves for the
Journey"
Although Princess Langwidera
did not again appear to her guests,
the palace servants waited upon the
strangers from OF and did every
thing in their power to make the
party comfortable. There were many
vacant rooms at their disposal, and
the brave Army of twenty seven
was easily provided for and liber-
ally feasted.
The Cowardly Lion and the Hun
CRY Tiger were embarrassed from
the chariot and allowed to roam al
will throughout the palace, where
they nearly frightened the servants
into fits, although they did no
harm at all. At one time Dorothy

Underground World, and commands
the rocks and all that the rocks
contain. Under his rule are many
thousands of the Nomes. who are
kueerly shaped but powerful sprites
that labor at the furnaces and
forges of their king, making gold
and silver and other metals which
they conceal in the crevices of the
rocks, so that those living upon
the earth's surface can only find
them with great difficulty. Also
they make diamonds and rubies and
emarls, which they hide in the
ground; so that the kingdom of the
Nomes is wonderfully rich, and all
we have of perCious stones and sill
yer and gold is what we take from
the earth and rocks where the
Nome King has hidden them"
Il understand" said Dorothy
nodding her little head wisely.
For the reason that we often
steal his treasures" continued o.
ma, "the Ruler of the Underground
World is not fond of those who live
upon the earth's surface, and never
appears among us. If we wish to see
King Roquat of the Rocks. we
must visit his own country, where
he is all powerful, and therefore

But, for the sake of the poor
prisoners" said Dorothy, I'VE ought

I'VE shall do it," replied the
Scarecrow. although it requires a

The Tin Woodman was the first
to address the meeting.
TO begin with" said he. word
came to our noble and illustrious
Ruler, ozma of Or, that the wife
and ten children-five boys and five
girls-of the former King of Ev. by
name Evoldo, have been enslaved
py the Nome King, and are held
prisoners in his underground pal
ace. Also that there was no one IN
EV powerful enough to release
them. Naturally our Ozma wished
TO undertake the adventure of liber-
atlng the poor prisoners; but for a
long time she could find no way &c
cross the great desert between the
two countries. Finally she went TO
friendly sorceress of our land
named Glinda the Good. who heard
the story and at once presented
Ozma magic carpet, which would
continually unroll beneath our feet
and so make a comfortable path for
us to cross the desert. AS soon as
she had received the carpet our
gracious Ruler ordered me to as
semble our army, which l did. You
behold in these bold warriors the
pick of all the finest soldiers of OF;
and. If we are obliged to fight the
Nome King, every officer as we'll as
the private, VIII battle fiercely unto
death"
Then Tiktok spoke.
Why should you fight the Nome
King" he asked. He has done no
wiring"
NO wrong?" cried Dorothy.
Isn't it wrong to imprison n queen
mother and her ten children?"
They were sold to the Nome
King by King Ev-ol-do," replied
Tiktok. 1T was the King of Ev
who did wrong, and when he re-
allied what he had done he jumped
into the sea and drown himself" !"
This is news TO me-" said Ozma,
thoughtfully. Il had supposed the
Nome King was all to blame in the
matter. But, in any case. he must
I be made to liebrate the prisoners" ="
My uncle Evoldo was a very
wicked man." declared the Prin-
cess Langwidere. "If he had drown
ed himself before he sold his FAM
lily, no one would have cared. But
he sold them TO the powerful Nome
King in exchange for a long life,
and afterward destroyed the life oy
jumping into the sea-"
Ihen, said Ozma, he did not
get the long life, and the Nome
King must give up the prisoners.
Where are they confined?"
No one knows, exactly" replied
the Princess. For the king, whose
name is Roquat of the Rocks, owns
a splendid palace underneath the
great mountain which is at the
north end of this kingdom, and he
has transformed the queen and her
children into ornaments and bric-a-
brac with which to decorate his
rooms
I'D like to know" said Dorothy,
who this Nome King is?"
II will tell YOU" replied Ozma.
He is said to be the Ruler of the

Firemen to
Continue Wearing
Army Gas Masks

Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. 80. - Army
gas masks will not be abandoned by
the Buffalo fire department. At the
first fire in which they were used
here firemen wearing them were
overcome while others without
masks were able to stand the smoke.
1t was declared at that time that
masks were useless as fire depart
ment equipment.
Fire Chief Murphy refused to ac-
cept this as a conclusive trial and
since then, he says, the masks have
been used with signal success.
'At the recent fire at the Cudahy
packing plant where the smoke was
very damp, men wearing masks pen
etrated to all parts of the building,
remained for long periods and suf-
fered no i'll effects" Chief Murphy
said. THE army mask has come
to stay in the Buffalo department"
