the government has contracted to give public health service to those entitled to it.
 In the larger hospitals, two of which are in St. Louis and one in tains a permanent staff of workers who devote their time to the inter- ests of the service men. Their helpfulness covers variety of fields. Sometimes they make the soldier forget his worries by hand ling many of his technical problems, such as filing claims for compensa tion, arrears in pay, travel pay, war risk insurance, vocational training and other government claims. Some times they make loans of money if conditions make that necessary. They may look more particularly to his physical well being but CO., operating with the public health of ficials in securing information about home conditions, which may help the doctor in diagnosing the case. Such assistance is particularly valuable in tuberculosis and mental cases. They help him after his discharge by communicating with the home serv- ice section in the soldiers home town and informing him of the doc tors recommendation and advice. They make hospitals more pleasant by equipping diet kitchens which supply the patients with food both attractive and nourshing. Finally, they make the Red Cross hut, pre- sided over by the hostess, recre- oanfor A II orornac on1 SnOrtc are under the direction of a recre- ational worker who work is in such close cooperation with the recon struction officer that every phase of recreational activity is directed toward the physical upbuilding of the patient. Dances, musicals, au- tomobile rides, movies and outdoor sports are a few of the usual en- tertainment. But recreational of- ficer does not stop with these. Va riety and originality mark the en- tire recreational program in the public health service hospitals. The Red Cross performs further serv- ice in behalf of the service men by supplying them with writing mater ials and by equipping and furnish ing materials for the department of occupational therapy.
 As army and navy nurses are also entitled to the benefits offer ed by the United States public health service, the Red Cross has furnished attractive nursing quart CTS, providing them with flowers and magazines which lend them an air of cheerfulness to the whole place.
 With such work as this in the public health hospitals in the divi- sion as a model, the local home service sections can plan to carry out a simpler but no less interest ing service for the men in contract hospitals. Not only does service man appreciate the help which the Red Cross can give him but his Joy and appreciation will make the work

To All Ex-Service Men

The question has been asked me many times:-- What is the dis ability feature of war risk insur- ance? What constitutes permanent disability" In answer to the ques- tions l wish to state that one of the most valuable features of a war term insurance of a U. s. Govern ment Life Insurance Policy is that it pays for total permanent dis ability of the insured, whether caus- or old age as we'll as for his death. if, tor any reason, you become to- tally and permanently disabled your premiums cease and the government immediately commences the monthly installments of S5.75 for each ST. 900 of insurance you have and pays this as long as you may live and remain disabled.
 Total permanent disability is giv- en the following broad meaning :: Any impairment of mind or body which continuously renders it im- possible for the disabled person to follow any substantially gainful oc- cupation and which is founded up- on conditions which render it req sonably certain that it will continue throughout the life of the person suffering from it, without prejudice to any other cause of disability. 1t is further agreed that the irrecov- erable loss of the sight of both eyes or the loss of both hands or both feet, or the loss of one hand and one foot, shall be considered as rlprr1anont total HICah hilitu

New Ruling on Reinstatement Q
 War Risk Insurance

On July 25, 1920, Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass, signed a de- cision ruling that discharged sol diers, sailors and marines who have dropped or cancelled their insur- ance, may reinstate within eighteen months after discharge without pay
 ing the back premiums. All they will be asked to pay will be the back premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated for the month of grace in which they were covered and for the current month. Thus for example: If man drop ped $10.000 insurance in January, 1919, and applies for reinstatement the first of September for $5,000, all he will have to pay will be the premium for January (the month of grace) on S5,000. If he applies for reinstatement of the full $10,- 00O,000, he will pay total of two months premiums on $10,000, one for January and one for September. He will not have to pay premiums in either case for the intervening months. The decision stipulates that the former service man applying for reinstatement be in as good

NEW SIGNALLING LAW
FOR AuT0M0bA ETS
Proposed BY Louisville Auto Club
Meeting With Much Favor
BY Motorists Here

Several prominent Richmond auto
mobilists are heartily in favor of the
Uniform Signal law, which has been
suggested by the Louisville Auto
mobile Club. Suggestions have been
that it be enacted into state law, or
else that each city adopted traffic or
dinances putting. this system Of
signalling into effect.
Upon request of local motorists the
Daily Register republishes what was
said of it in the Courier-J Journal the
other day:
1t is virtually automatic 4 among
those motorists who have given study
to the question that more than one
half Of the minor accidents and good
many Of the serious ones in places
where traffic is congested are caused
by failure on part of the motorist to
signal his intentions in operating the
car. That is to signal in such man.
ner that any other motorists in front,
behind or at the side Of the car, or
any person nearby, may determine at
once and definitely just what the
signalling driver proposes to do. Many

from infiicting serious injury upon the
pedestrians could and would be avoided
by the adoption of a system of signal
ling that is easily acquired by the
motorist- and easily understood by the,
public it
Louisville's present ordinance re-
lating to the operation of automobiles
is too vague to be of much actual good
it merely provides if driver expects
ito run right the signal should be
made by pointing in that direction
with, the right hand; if to the left,
by pointing to the left with the left
hand; the reader can readily see how,
difficult it would be under our pres
ent traffic regulations for metolisi

The signal to slow down or stop I'm
der the existing ordinance provides
that such a signal be given by OK
tending the arm vertically. This
would be interpreted under the law
which is being generally adopted to
indicate that the driver was turning
in the opposite direction.
Motor traffic experts in California,
Illinois and other states, where the
number of automobiles is relatively
! far larger than in Kentucky, have
reached the conclusion that conc

, for the left-hand driver car, the right
hand for the right-hand driver car will
solve the whole problem.

are firmly of the belief that the ulti-
mate result of the proposed law with
be highly beneficial.

day afternoon and entered at once
into the duties of his office. Mr.
Grupe comes to Brownsville from
Cleburne, where he has been employ

utilities.

morning he visited the water and

new manager reiterated the state
ment made by him on his first visit
TO Brownsville some three weeks ago,
that he found a number Of things
that should be remedied at the plant,
but found nothing alarming.
Speaking of the water and light
service, Mr.. Grupe said that in his
opinion the plant could be made self
supporting even at the greatly in
creased cost of operations and that
the first thing to be done was TO en-
force an absolute payment Of all ac-
counts.
I'm CleburRe we never lost dol
lar that was due US i'm eight years,
and the same policy should work out
in Brownsville. There we held the
property owner liable for the pay
ments and didn't look TO the tenant
at all. If the property owner want
ed the tenant to pay. that was, Of
course, all right. but il was up 70

liar enough with the details of the
city routine or of the imnroyepent
program to express himself other
than to say that everything that
could be done would be done To speed
up and make efficient all public
works. While stating that he didn't
mind making enemies if he could in
crease the efficiency of the city adj
ministration, Mr. Grupe says that h Z
wants to see unified public spirit

city. IF we all work together we
can accomplish much more than if

SPANISH DOLLAR OF
1876 MINTACE GIVEN
BROWNSVILLE MAN

City Commissioner Il. L. kowalski
is the owner of Spanish dollar made
i'm 1916 and of 10000 Spanish coins
discovered about two years ago by a
Mexican laborer while demolishing an
old adobe house at Cerralyo, in the
state Of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The
dollar il somewhat worn. but the date
and other lettering. the Spanish crown
and other royal insignia Of that period
are easily decipherable.
The fortune was found hidden be-
meath the fireplace in the adobe hut.
According to Mr.. kowalski. with the
premium on the coins the fortune the
laborer discovered is worth around
500. 900. The Spanish dollar was pre-
sented TO Mr. kowalski a few days
ago by II. A. Ramirez, a merchant Of
Roma. Starr county. who came by II
in the course of business.
Who may have been the original
owner of the fortune is, of course, a
mystery.
