of running an automobile.
The Washington's Herald's enter
prise in this direction has been
spoken of in highest terms by
Washington civic officials and 9TH
ers interested in decreasing traffic
accidents in the city.
The plan has rounded out its third
week with notable results. In a
letter to The Herald yesterday, Capt.
Headley said:
"Nany evidences of co-opera-
tion were apparent In every Sec
tion of the city by drivers of
automobiles since The HeraId's
campaign for safety started.

Women Not OutcIassed.
The Washington Herald has been
successful this past week in point
ing out to the public that women
are not OutclasSed by mon in the
operation of automobiles. The claim
has been made innuncrable times
that women. supposedly naturally
nervous. are incapable Of eXtricat-
ing themselves from traffic jams
and similar problems Of the auto
mobilist. The Herald judges refutc
this.
When the contest judges finished
their work they unanimously eX-
pressed their regret that The Her
aid was unable to print more than
fifty names on the honor roll. be-
cause the instances OF care in driY-
ing practised by women totaled
many more than the prescribed
number.
Fair Drivers suddenly Increase.
They reported also that more
women automobilists were seen on
the streets during the past week
than in any similar previous pc
riod. They attribute this condition
to the I'll show 'em" spirit which
actuated Washington women to en-
ter the contest on hearing that il
would be especially for thom.
The Washington Herald. then, is
but too glad to bow low before the
girl at the wheel. and to honor her
for the service she has done for
Washington and the vindication she
has won for herself in the eyes Of
the automobile public.

MEANS MUCH TO ALASKA

The rip that is being taken by Secretaries Dan els and Payne the Territory is probably one of the biggest things that has happened in some tune as far as Alaska is concerned Even if one tried, could hardly oyer-emphasHe the importance oi their visit
 These two officials very largely concerned with Alaskan affairs. Secretary Daniels is look ing for a supply of fuel for Americas fighting ships and he is spending million dollars in the Matanus- ka coal field in effort to uncover and develop q source of supply He is also interested in oil and has already intmated that the Navy may back oil development in the Territory if preliminary explora- tion holds hope for success
 Secretary John Barton Payne, of the Department of Interior, has the to say about Alaskan af- of all the Cabinet officials. He is in control Of practically every natural resource that can be found in the Territory He has representatives scattered all over the Territory, lands, coal, o mineral of nearly every kind, waerpower railroads almost everything of vital importance center in the department which he is the head.
 Although the job he has shown every desire to do what for the Territory. He has made efforts to find out problems, to secure solutions for them, discover grievances and their and to have them removed. He wants to know what need in the way of assistance in order get real development under way. He is coming to Alaska to just what kind of land it is that is depending at present so largely on himself as head of the Department of Interior for certain assistance in the way of changed regulations and liberal laws and other aids, for both immediate and future advancement.
 It rests with the people of Alaska, rather those portions of Alaska which he sees to what he discovers what he hears. how much he learns about Alaskan conditions, problems and what the people of the Territory want in the way of reme- dies. Secretary Payne wants first-hand knowledge. See that he gets it. Yesterday a meeting of the Juneau Commercial Association, President Shattuck, of that organization voiced of these thoughts. He was given hearty support by the organization. But that organization is numerically a very small minority of Juneaus citizenship It speak for all of Juneau. It with Juneau's citizens individually and collectively make the reception ot Messrs Daniels and Payne, and those accompany ing them, what it should be in the way a genuine Alaskan greeting. Other towns are already preparing similar receptions, opportunities the visitors meet Alaskans and talk with them about their coun- try. Let Juneau lead the way. As Capital City of the Territory it is her right and duty do so, and The Empire is certain that the town will moi fall short in any particular.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING AIDED

An important piece of legislation enacted at the past session of Congress and approved by the Presi dent on the last day of the session. is pro- viding for the promotion of vocational rehabilitation o. persons disabled in industry otherwise and for the return of such persons some useful employ ment Under the provisions of this act the Federal Government proposes to cooperate with the states in the work of restoring oceupatonal efficiency men and women who have been maimed by accident in any way whatever disabled by disease, or who may be congenitally crippled
 In anticipation the passage of Federal legisla- ton for this purpose than dozen states have already enacted laws providing for the vocational rehabilitation of disabled men and women and pro Niding in some cases in advance for acceptance of the requirements of the Federal which has now been approved by the President
 Persons disabled" defined in tine act to in- clude any person who by reason of a physica de feet or infirmty, whether congental or acquired by accident. injury, disease is, may be ex- pected to be, totally or partially iacapacitaed for lemunerative occupation
 The Federal Board for Vocational Education is the administrative Federal agency. Federal ap- ending June S0 1921 and of $1O00 o0O annually for three years following These appropriations are to be allotted to the states in proportion to their popu- lation. and every Federal dollar spent by the states iH training disabled men and women be matched by equal amount Of money provided in the States
 Thus. if the states provide for using the total amount of the Federal appropriation a joint fund of Federal and local money will be available amounting to al least s1,500,00O in the year I920-21 and to g. 00O00 each year for the three ending June 90, 1922. 1923 1924. Individual states Of course, may do better than merely match the Federal money.

Luke McLuke Says

A girl has to be sure there are no holes in the knees of her stock ngs before she tries to sit down in one of the kind of skirts she is wearing these days.
 Our idea of carrying coals to New castle is, to go to a married man to tell your troubles.
 Nowadays when a girl tells you that her hair is her own she means that she has paid for it out of her own money.
 A newly married man poses as an Oracle and tells you how easy it is to Manage Wife. But a year later he hasn't a blame word to say.
 After love-sick slob keeps telling a girl that she is an Angel, she be- gins wondering how much a harp would cost and how long it would take her to learn to play it.
 Another big trouble with this coun-
 ry is that too many of our women 'olks have night keys of their own md refuse to sit at home and weep for Hubby
 Some years ago, Luke advocated Marriage Licenses with Divorce Cou- Oons attached. What a lot of coin
 ould have been saved if this sug- {estion had been adopted
 One thing we like about the H. c. L. is that socks cost so much now. ldays that a man can't afford to wear pair until they crack It is cheaper to buy two pairs and change off
 Give woman year to pay for it and she will buy any article, no mat CT how useless it is. But what has become of all the Male Panses and Male Flossies who used to decorate our thorough ares before the war? A Sob Sister tells us that a hus. band should talk matters over with his wife every day. But why waste time? After they have talked they will do exactly as they intended to do before the talking started. A man cant understand why the same brand of perfume that gives some other woman a dainty odor makes his own wife smell like a barber shop.
The Alaska daily empire., 1920-07-09

but, the other hand, states may, of course fail get the work started under approved plans in time to utilize the total amount available for the first year.
 It is to be noted that the Federal act does not provide that money made available in the states to match the Federal appropriation shall be raised by taxation in the state other words, private funds may be made available for matching Federal money in any state It is provided only that money pended under the Federal act shall be expended der the immediate administrative direction and con trol of the State Board for Vocational Education in each Each State Board is required to submit to the Federal Board for Vocational Education, for approval the plans for carrying out the pro visions of the Federal within the state speci flying the kinds of vocational rehabilitation to be provided and the proposed schemes Of placement after training, courses of study methods of insruc- tion qualifications teachers and plans for training teachers.
 Economically and socially the effects of this leg islaion are bound to be far reaching Not all of the benefits will become immediately apparent to in the of few years the need for appropra- homes for incurables and for crippled and disabled persons will be materially diminished. As the work vocational rehabilitation develops in the States groping creature labeled ''I bind,' and the legless man vending shoe strings and lead pencils will gradually disappear from city streets In
 future the intent of the law is realized those disabled in industry will not be relegaed to curb stone mendicancy they will be given such training they may need to establish them in some occupa- ton as self-supporting and happy workers
