THE UNPAID DEBT

lie ONfAlD JEDI
There has been a deal of fine
talk about paying OR debt" to
the soldiers. How much perfor-
nance is to be given to these
easy promises? The people of
three states are paying the debt
by blithely voting indiscriminate
bonuses, money that will be
quickly and unproductively spent
in many or most cases by the
sound benefciaries and can be
only a temporary dole to the
disabled. For them permanent
provision on a far-seeing plan
must be made. Has it been made?
What has the Government done?
There are three often interlap.
ping, colliding, imperfect organs
for the care of the disabled, the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance,
the Public Health Service, the
Federal Board for Vocational Ed
ucation. With the best inten.
tions the government does bust
ness in the lame and clumsy ira
ditional Government way.
You go before this or that
board to get examined. When
you present yourself for examin-
alton, you find that the board has
decamped. In the course of time
you are ground out of that board,
only to be deposited, after much
labor and correspondence and the
unraveling of leagues of red tape,
in another board. You are driv-
en- from pillar to post. Many men
get disguised with these ever
lasting circumnavigaticns of the
Circumlocution Office. They give
up in disgust. A concrete case
illustrates the remarkably effici-
cient efforts of the how-not- to-do-
it Federal method. The law says
that, if the illness of a soldier
cared for by the Vocational Board
was contracted in the service, the
physicians of the Public Health
Service shall examine the soldier
and the Bureau Of War Risk shall
pay for such medicines as he
needs. If the illness was not
contracted in service, the Voca-
tional Board was in the habit OF
paying for the medicines pre-
scribed. 1t was the boards bus
mess to bring the boy or man in
to good condition, and the medi-
cines were necessary for his
health. The Controller of the
Treasury held few weeks ago
that the Vocational Board had no
legal authority to pay for medi-
cal services, medicines, and so
on, for a soldier whose illness
couldn't be traced in the service.
So he wouldn't pay even the bills
of hospitals, physicians and drug
gists, honestly contracted in re-
lance on the previous practice of
the Vocational Board.
AS if there were not red tape |
enough around the three arms of
relief, the Treasury has to add
some more, The soldier has only
money enough for bare subsis-
tence. He can't pay for his med.
icine. The War Risk Bureau
can't pay because his illness can't
be shown to have been contract
ed in the service. The Vocational
Board can t pay because the Con-
troller forbids. The soldier,
whose health the Government is
supposed to be restoring, can go
without the medicine, His health
can grow worse. He can die.
Thus do we fulfill our boasts
about paying our debt" to the
soldiers broken in our defense.
Paying our debt to our soldiers!
See how we do it. This from a
letter from a friend in Long
Branch
May ! appeal to you to help
these boys? Send them some
clothing that you are not in need /!

The value of the lightning rod
as a fire preventive has been am
ply demonstrated. Out of a very
large number of fires origiuat-
ing as a result Of lightning in an
adjoining state last month, there
was not a single instance record
ed where a rodded house was in
any way damaged.
Electrical disturbances will
continue during the summer mo.
nths, and for this reason, we
would strongly urge the installa-
ton of lightning rods on all build
ings.

THE ELECTRICIRON AGAIN!

THE ELECTRIC IRON AGAIN!
June has brought to the State
Fire Marshal's Office, an increas.
ed numberof fire reports bear
ing on Fl res originating from the
careless use of electric irons. AS
the use of these irons beceme
more general throughout the
State, unless proper care is ex-
ercised in their use, an increase
in the number of fires from
this source must result unless
nsers practice caution. The
real danger is allowing the cur
rent on, unmatched. The iron
becomes greatly overheated
during the time it is not i'll use,
and in a little while the iron rest
also becomes overheated and
fire is the result. Eliminate the
danger by disconnecting the
cord at the socket.
