Helping Disabled Soldiers

1t is generally known that the government is
engaged on a program of vocational education
which is intended to train or reeducate every one
of it's disabled soldiers, sailors and marines with
out expense to these war heroes. But experience
in Great Britain and France has shown that less
than per cent of disabled war veterans availed
themselves of this opportunity. No cogent
reason has been adduced for the hesitancy of the
disabled men in taking advantage of their gov
ernment's offer.
To overcome this reluctance of soldiers, sail
ors and marines who have been disabled, the
United States government has launched cam
paign of publicity whose sole purpose is to call
attention to the free vocational training which
is accorded every injured service man who needs
it, The Red Cross is doing great service in this
connection.
The Elks' lodge has been asked to assist in
this work of publicity. Any person in Richmond
who knows of disabled war hero who should
take advantage of vocational training ought to
consider it duty to inform the Red Cross au-
thorities at once so that full benefit may be de-
rived by the injured person.
There are many thousands of disabled Ameri-
can soldiers, sailors and marines who must be
provided for either temporarily throughout
this period of training by some private agency.
The federal board for vocational education in
charge of this work has selected the order of
Elks for this cooperative assistance. Every
wounded hero of the war is to be personally seen
and urged at once to take advantage of this offer
of free vocational education. It's Importance, not
only to disabled men themselves and members of
their immediate families and no less to the ma
ton itself, is at once apparent.

Prohibition Helps Business

One of the most persistent questions that resi-
dents in wet territory have put to those in dry
districts is what effect does prohibition have on
business. The answer invariably has been that
it stimulates business but it has been extremely
difficult to cite figures in support of this con-
tention.
The first tangible evidence Of the effect of
the closing of the saloons has been adduced by
motion picture exhibitors at their recent session
in New York City. It was shown that their bust
ness had increased from 25 to so per cent direct
ly attributable to the advent of prohibition.
An exhibitor from Indiana said: 'In our
state which has been dry for year, business has
been the biggest throughout the state that the
picture men have ever experienced and believe
that part of it is due to prohibition. was an ex-
hibitor few years ago when we had county and
local option and l noticed that in dry town our
business was very big due to the fact that there
were no saloons open and that seems to be the
opinion of exhibitors in dry towns"
A Michigan exhibitor said that their business
had been increased anywhere from rs to SO per
cent since the saloons went out of business, and
a man from Cleveland declared that Ohio exhibit
ors are preparing for a prosperity the like OF
which they had never seen before. New York
and New Jersey exhibitors said there would be
no doubt that prohibition would help the motion
picture theaters. They said that the father who
had been accustomed to stop in at saloon and
spend part of his weeks salary for drink would
no longer be able to spend his money in that way
and would have more money to give to his fam
lily to see pictures.
What holds true of the motion picture bust
ness is true in certain degree of other lines
There has been no falling off in business in the
last year in Richmond. In fact, merchants say
that business has never been better and the police
records show that arrests never have been fewer.
The money which formerly was spent for liquor
is either going into the savings banks or is being
used for the purchase of merchandise.

matter to hasten the discharge of men in training
in camps in the United States, but the withdrawal
for service elsewhere of most of the British ships
employed last summer in ferrying American
troops abroad has made it necessary to find other
transports for the army in Europe. In spite OF
delays, up to April II, 686,114 troops had sailed
for the United States from the overseas forces,
leaving still abroad at that time about two-thrds
of the American expeditionary forces. 1t is ex-
pected that with the help of the German ships
recently turned over they will soon be coming
home at the rate of $1,000 a month.
Viewed in any light, it has been marvellous
achievement because of the physical obstacles to
be overcome. After the war with Spain it took
more than year to muster out barely 10000
officers and men.

Winding up the War
VS. the New York World:


1t was inevitable that for months after the
signing of the armstce expenditures should
show no decrease. The huge war machine was
running at top speed and could not be stopped at
word. Every essential industry throughout the
country was working on government orders. The
period of readjustment to a peace basis was
bound to present innumerable difficulties.
But at last the turning point has been passed.
IN March for the first time army expenditures
rapidly declined That month expenditures total
ed S494 100000, about So per cent of the pre-
vious monthly average. Since the cessation of
hostties the war department has cancelled or
suspended contracts amounting to nearly 81, $780,
100000 and other contracts are fast running out.
1t has been necessary to have due regard for the
interest of industry, so that it should not be
wrecked by the abrupt stoppage of work.
On Nov. II, 1913 there were about 8, 100000
men in the military service, of whom 100000
had been transported overseas. In less than five
months this immense force has been cut in half,
and rehabilitation is being speeded up as more
ships become available 1t was relatively easy

Start the food wrong and you can not

kidneys, liver, heart and even the

Pepgen is composed of oils and juic-

Plan OF EMPLOYMENT
AND WORK

Tho Wadsworth Manufacturing
Company, Detroit, Michigan, whose
entfrs output is taken by the Ford
Motor Company, have adopted the
Ford System of progressive work on
their entire output, and have adopted
the Ford scale of wages and working
hours.
The Wadsworth Manufacturing
Company manufacturers exclusively
for the Ford Motor Company and turn
out over 200 closed bodies per day
for that Company. In order to IN
crease production and to have salts
fed workers, they have adopted the
Ford system and are going to make
automobile closed bodies on the pro-
pressive system, using practically no
skilled mechanics for the work The
Ford system of not allowing a man
to be discharged, makes it possible to
and wishes are best satisfied. The
minimum is $500 per day for 81
hours work, and with this system, It
has been proven at the Ford Motor
Company that the chances for young
men for advancement are consider
ably higher than where former tradeg-
men were employed only. In the flve
years that the Ford Motor Company
have had this system In effect. the an
nual savings and resources OF their
employees have increased five time.
They Lave decreased the percentage
OF lassor turnover, or hiring and dis.
charging Of help from 20 per cent. a
month under the old system to not
quite 2 per cent. month under the
present.
