Success Or Failure Depends on
Interest Taken in His Case

The family of disabled soldier has
a very great influence upon his future
success Or failure, according to Doug
las G. M cMurtrie, director of the Red
Cross Institute for Crippled and Dis

sue of the American Journal of Care
for Cripples." The home influence
should encourage the invalided man
to take advantage of the training Of

The difference between an injurious
and a helpful family attitude, Mr..
McMurtrie illustrates by story of the
rehabilitation work in France 1t is
, recalled that the French mother oc-
cupies a position of extraordinary
authority in the family. "A son may
grow up to be 20, 80 or 40 years old,
but mother is still a chief to whom
obedience is unquestionably paid. In

Edwards Not Likely TO Command a
Review.
In response to an inquiry as to
whether he may be expected to COM
mand the division in the Boston pa
rade, Gen. Edwards replied: Il fancy
not. l should not suppose the de-
partment would relieve Gen. Hale of
his command. If there appears to be
any general demand for it, L think
there would be no difficulty in ar
ranging that l could ride with the
parade and join you gentlemen of the
reviewing stand. I should prefer that
Gen. Hale would not be deprived or

Several of the governors inquired
what MANS NAV be carried out for
welcoming the boys as they come into
the berbor and Mr.. Whiteside, who is
chairman Of the Boston welcoming
committee. replied that a very effec-
tive '"water welcome" may be carried
ont. and that boats will be provided
to take down the harbor any of the
governors or their official committees.
The boats would be permitted close to
the troopships before they locked, he
said. but after they are at the pier it
will not be possible to get very near.
Wants Greatest Welcome Ever.
In emphasizing his desire that the
reception be the greatest ever accord
ed by the people Of Boston, General
Edwards declared that the feeling of
the returning boys would be the same
as those of their friends awaiting their
coming. Most Of them were certain
that they were never coming back
after the tremendous fighting con-
fronting them-so that they will be
filled with exultation at once again
returning to their homes" He ex-
pressed the opinion that music should
form a predominant part in the ce1e-
bration, as being best fitted to express
the feelings of all.
In speaking of the inquiry Of pro-
viding shelter for the men while they
are in Boston, the general expressed
the opinion that he could billet all his
men ''in this town. with 10 days no.
tice. Every home would be thrown
open to them, he said. He did not
believe there would be any necessity
for the boys staying any length of time
at Camp Devens.
General Edwards suggested also
that in the event the National Guard
is reorganized, divisional and regi-
mental titles such as were used over
there be retained in the future.

indeed, he will be reduced to a mis-

cripples from the War Of 1870, how
they begged or sold trinkets about the

son to be in that fix. Luckily, how

are taught various skilled trades. If
your son cares to stay for five or six
months, and you approve, we will
teach him to be a teIegrapher and he
can go back to his homo town and get
a good job with the government tele-
graphs. AS a skilled worker still. he
will be doubly respected in the COM

YOU will be very, very proud of him.

NEW USE FOR GAS

New York, Feb, 15.--The deadly
phosgene gas once used on the battle
front in France now has been en-
pIoyed in the peaceful pursuit of
bleaching sand used in the manufac-
ture of eyeglasses and optical lenses,
according to DR.. David T. Day of the
GeophysiCal laboratory of the Car
negie Institutions. This gas is COM
posed of chlorine, oxygen and carbon
monoxide. It destroys the iron oxide
which causes the red and brownish
tints of sand, says the American
Chemical society. 1t adds that the
United States has a firm grip on the
manufacture of phOsgene gas with
which this country was prepared to
overwhelm the German armies, This
has given the United States an oppor-
tunity to manufacture optical glass
which formerly was imported, and it
is announced that all the 1871 varieties
of glass now can be produced in this

London, Feb. 15.-Independenc

say the newspapers in comm enting on
the manner which thousands Of Lon
don women, lining the streets during
the reception to Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig, commander Of the
British armies in France, cheered him
to the echo.
They were vitality changed from
the women who used to be carefully
escorted to pre-w2ar pageants in the
London Streets" observes one paper.
TT was evident these women had
earned the right to cheer. Genteel
fluttering of scrappy handkerchiefs is
no longer good enough for the women
who have worked and waited through
the gray days of sorrow, when war
heroes come home
The crowds needed no urging to
make way for women in uniform.
They soon found line places and were
! among the most insistent in calling
for Field Marshal Haig while the Off
cial party was lunching in Bucking-
ham Palace with the king. High and
shri1l rang their voices: 1--WE want
Haig we want Haig," and when that
failed to bring the commander of the
British armies in France to the bal
cony, they led the refrain, "Haig,
Haig, Haig."
AS this did not get the desired re-
suit, they finally gave it up and led

The means employed will be the
surgeons knife, and the surgeon will
transplant the reproductive intersti-

This will be the eleventh operation
of this nature performed at the pris-
IN by DR.. L. L. Stanley, the prison
physician, and DR.. G. Stanley Kelker
his assistant. All of the ten previous
operations have given a measure of
youth to the old men who received the

The old man will be chosen from "a

against society. Lapara is sentenced

to see what measure of this vitality
they can transfer to the body of the

Much of the faith in the operation
results from the changed appearance
of prisoner known as B. who daily
is seen in the prison yard.
B. is 70 years old. Before the OPP

His face bore deep wrinkles, and his
step was feeble. He was old also in

his figure was stopped. Now he car
