INDIAN DISABLED TRAINED
Technical School Located at Bonn
bay, Where Incapacitated Soldiers
Are Taught New Vacations.

New York Times: 1t is not
strange that Canada and America
and European bellgerents should
make plans for the reconstruction OF
their disabled soldiers, but that far
off Indian should maintain an up-to-
date school where her disabled
fighters are taught such trades as
motor mechanics and automobile re-
pairing to make them self-support-
ing, will strike many as surprising.
AT Bombay, India, Queen Mary's
Technical School for Disabled In
dian Soldiers is located, and, accord
ing to reports received recently at
the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men, New York City,
there are now over 200 disabled men
of India's forces there, learning
trades than range from motor car
driving, motor mechanics, oil engine
driving and motion picture opcrat-
ing to farming, poultry raising and
scientific agriculture. The school was
founded about year ago through
the efforts OF Lady Wiliugdon, wife
of the governor of Bombay and is
under the patronage OF the king and
queen OF England.
Graduates OF the school after COM

months or more are equipped with

STATES COOPERATING

Seven States and the District OF
Columbia have so far failed to CO.
operate with the United States Pub
lie Health Service in its venercal
disease prevention work, although
the sum of $lSS,2l6.7S is theirs
when they qualify for it under the
provisions OF the Army Appropria-
ton Bill says Surgeon General
Rupert Blue OF the United States
Public Health Service.
The sum OF $l0000000 is to be
distributed to the states for the use
OF their State Boards OF Health,
the only condition being that they
shall put into operation through
legislative enactment or State
Board of Health regulation having
the effect OF law the regulations ap-
proved by the Surgeons General OF
the Army, Navy and the United
States Public Health Service.
Under these regulations, before
any state can secure the sum OF
money allotted to it. it must adopt
laws or regulations requiring the re-
porting by physicians OF all cases
OF venereal diseases, just as other
communicable diseases are reported,
and it must make provision for the
establishment OF clinics for the
treatment OF these diseases.
"The District OF Columbia has to
await the action OF Congress to get
the necessary legislation which it
has asked for; then it will be en-
titled to its allotment, $3,599.66. The
seven states that have not yet full
filled the requirements and the
amounts they are entitled to are 4:

In only three instances did Car
ter county fail in her war work cam
palgns OF sixteen months. Two OF
these failures were registered prior
to the time there was a real working
organization in the county. The fail
ure in the other campaign, the re-
cent United War Work Fund Drive
is difficult to explain, except for
the fact that it came at a time when
the epidemic OF influenza was at
its height and the usual methods OF
creating the sentiment and awaken
ing interest in every section of the
county could not be employed.
In the fourth Liberty Loan drive
Carter county subscribed a total OF
$5,65S,750. She has pledged in eX-
cess OF her War Savings Stamp
quota and has actually sold within
$35,000 OF the w. S. S. mark. In
Y. NJ. c. A. work Carter county
has been one OF the banner coun-
ties OF Oklahoma. In the last Red
Cross drive, in May, her quota was
$4,000 and she subscribed $85,000;
year ago, in the first Christmas
Membership Drive she was asked
for $3.50 81 memberships and
turned in more than 10000.
Carter county furnished approx
mately $500 men for active service
n the army, navy and marine corps
and about 1900 for semi-military
service in government plants or
about ten per cent OF her popula-
,ion
On the food conservation, Smile
age, Library and various other cam
paigns Carter set a fast pace for
other counties in the state.
