Soldiers, sailors ad marines who
were refused vocational training by
the Federal Boards because their in
juries were considered minor or neg
lgible, may now be reconsidered, &C
cording to word which has been sent
officials of the Ellis County Chapter,
American Red Cross, from South
western Divisional Headquarters, st.
Louis.
Workers of the Ellis County Chap
ter now are looking up men who are
known to have suffered some injury
in service and request is made that
any such men report to the Chapter
Headquarters, Hays, at once, where
every effort will be made to have their
cases taken up for new decision.
The Chapter is particularly anxious
to reach men who are not able to
follow their former lines of work
since their return from war, and who
are able to submit any proof of this.
Others who are hampered in any way
from their war service also are in
vited to call at Chapter headquarters,
where Home Service workers will give
their immediate attention.

The terrible situation in Ireland
az the present time where two fac
tons are at war with each ether
ought to be a warning to this country
and other countries to make their
contests at the ballot box and in the
halls of legislation and to not appeal
to force. The greatest advantage
conferred on mankind by the Anglo
Saxon races has been stable con
stituticnal government, subject to
variation and change as public de-
mand and popular pressure compels.
This sort of government is not per-
feet but it comes nearer to safeguard
ing the rights of al the people, both
great and small than any other sys-
TEN of government yet invented. In
fact i is the only progressive form
Z Of government developed by the hui
man race The so-called advanced
/ theories of Socialism, Communism
and Proletarianism are steps back
ward urged by people who have not
read history or fail to understand
that there is only loss and danger in
trying to turn the clock backward.
The situation in Ireland is one that
was common in The dark ages OF the
past when governments were weak
and groups and factions fought other
groups and factions and the govern
ment was not strong enough to en-
force order, For outsiders it is diff
flcult to understand just what the
real situation is, Cardinal Logue
says there is wrong on both SIDES and
the cond ton seems 10 grow worse
1t is certain however, that neighbors
killing each other and burning homes
and other property will not advance
the good of ireland or any factor
thereof. 1t has been tried before anC
always fails.

Probably he wants to sell the exclusive rights to the publication if hts picture to some concern, and is prevented from gaining a huge sum because another set of producers is showing them.
 But the legal aspect of the matter is interesting. The discussion of when a man or woman has the exclusive right to a reproduction of his or her features has been the cause of com plicated legal cases. woman may object successfully to her picture on a bottle or tube of tooth-paste. But a celebrated public character cannot prevent the publication of his pie ture in the act of doing the thing that has made him famous.
 Perhaps some day political candi- dates will try to get an injunction against the newspapers for publish ing their photographs. but this is doubted. Perhaps some day actresses will balk at allowing their pictures to be printed if they get no pay for the privelege. This is doubted also. Publicity helped both in their differ ent fields of activity.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

The publicity service of the Ameri- ures has issued a news bulletin giving a short history of the attempt to get the International Chamber of Com merce to adopt the metric system, and force the United States and Eng land to change their method of weights and measures which has been carried to the four corners of the earth.
 Politics have been played by the advocates of the two systems, and from evidence at hand today. 1t would appear that the Compulsory intro duction of the Metric System in the United States advocates overstepped themselves by offering a resolution to the Chamber of Commerce meeting in Paris last June. The resolution in favor of the metric system intro duced by Albert Herbert had the name of G. B. Roorbach of Harvard University as one of the signers. MT. Roorbach denies signing the resolu- ton. and expressed great surprise that his name should appear there.
 If the United States changes to the metric system. it would mean a mixup in every factory in New Brit ain. and during the time of changing. there would exist a condition of chaos in tho>world's trade which would ha fr, 1ta ta which could be taken advantage of by systematic trade vultures It would make imitations of American goods eaa.cr than now. 1t would give some countries tho advantage of a tenn porary setback to which could be ap- piled the inside track theory.
