AID SOLDIERS
IN. LIFE WORK
About LOO Schools Cooper
ate With Vocational Board
to Train $4,000 Men.

"A record of conscientious en-
deavor to fulfill the nations duty 10
our disabled soldiers, sailors ano
marines" is the procurement OF
r. T. Fisher, chief of the Rehabili-
tation Division, Federal Board Tor
Vocational Education, commenting
on the work of the board, as set
forth in the fourth annual report
lust submitted to Congress, which
shows that the number of ex-service
men entered in training increased
during the fiscal. year from 5000 to
over $4,000.
PROGRESS Is RAPID.
"One fact Is made clear in this
report. Whatever the mistakes or
legislation or of administration in
the beginning. there has been al
ways a persistent endeavor to over
come every difficulty and solve
every problem TO the best interests
OF the disabled.
but 1t Is only fair to say that much
OF this has originated either from
lack OF knowledge on the part or
critics or from conditions over
which the board has had no ade-
qunte control. and that these con-
ditions have been largely corrected.
AS shown in the boards report to
Congress, progress during the past
year has been rapid"
Continuing. Mr.. Fisher says:

BUSES OPPOSED

The Capital Traction Company does
not believe there would be any econ

to relieve congestion on Fourteenth
street cars.
This is what George T.. Hamilton,

liam NICK. Clayton, of the Federation
of Citizens Association. in an answer
to the latters suggestion for a bus
line.
"Our Investigations in this matter"
said Hamilton, (which have been
fairly thorough and continuous, have
given us no reason to believe that
under present-day conditions there
would be any economy or other ad-
vantage in the use of motor buses
at the present time.

any suggestion that may bring bene-
tit to the public or to the company
