t folks is. gruesome business MT. Crane declared that in all his experience as an adviser he had had only one or two cases b9fore where ernbalming was chosen as a pfofessione
 MT. Crane told of case at New Haven of man both of whose hands were blown off by a shell. on whom he called twice at his home. The man was much depressed, for although he had received artificial appliances he was unable to use them and felt that he had nothing to live for When the aeviser left him he was much happier, as arrangements had been made for him to go to New York, to have an attendant at $5 per day, to be thor oughly tranied in the use of his artificial
 hands, to be stimulated by the example
 of men crippled like himself but learning
 useful trades, to board with other crippled
 men where he would not be embarrassed, and meanwhile to receive adequate sup-
 port for himself and a dependent mother. Another interesting case of which MT. Crane spoke was that of a young Jap aneSe who came to his desk in New York i a short time ago. He was not an Amer jean citizen and was therefore exempt from service; but he said: T want to fight for my Uncle Sam" He had been
 garden architect and brought letter from wealthy man living near New York which. spoke of him in the highest terms He also had a letter showing that
 he was appointed by the emperor of Japan to lay out the Japanese gardens at l the worlds fair at San Francisco. His disability due to service prevented him from being any longer a garden architect and he was sent to the Museum of Nat | ural History in New York, where he is being trained by an expert to make arti- l fcial flowers. from natural specimens for 1 scientific purposes, so that his previous
 experience and artistic temperament are | being utilized.
 | Cases like these,'' MT Crane remark ed, should correct the impression that l the federal board is occupied in winding and unwinding red tape and that it's work i is failure"
 MT. Crane said that amusing things 1 sometimes happened. as. for example. 9 1 man was assigned to his desk in New
 York whose name proved to be Husk and 1 the man who came just after him was ,! Kernel, and when Mir. Crane reached his | home in Elizabeth that day he found . man waiting to see him named Cobb | In meeting the disabled men one hy one. and conversing with them, there art | many opportunities, he said, for dispens ing the gospel of good cheer in which hs thoroughly believes.
 The board will be in session here unti Saturday at II o'clock at the town hal
 and will welcome all disabled men. The, | are urged to come in and talk it over Al they may be entitled to training and sup

 Mir McAdoo declared campaign con- tributors would seek their reward in va rious ways one of which was the reduc- tion of duty on imports. He pointed out that a fraction of cent reduction would run into big figures.
 MT. McAdoo said that ''as an .Ameri can citizen seeking nothing" there were some things about the coming election he would like to refer to. The appointment of the senate committee to investigate campaign expenditures he declared, was orA cf ''>~ " intelligent things the sen ate ever did" 4 -sse .le thing America can never stand for" he continued, and that i: the purchase of the presidency of tht United States"
 "In my opinion the elecIlon law snoulc be changed" he said. "The expenses for running the rational elections should be paid out of the national treasury anC if this were done the cost would be in fnitely less. It would be reduced one fifth.
