VETERANS BUREAU
 AID FOR SOLDIERS
Difficulties in Obtaining Help
 Expected to Disappear

Washington, Aug. 24.-Veterans'
 difficulties in obtaining government aid
 are expected to be greatly minimized by
 the consolidation of all governmentai
 agencies administering soldier relief un- der one head-the Veterans bureau.
 That is what Colonel Charles R. Forbes
 of Seattle, director of the bureau, prom ises. The day of dual responsibility, of divided authority in the governments dealings with former service men is ended, he says, and troubles of long standing among the veterans will ra- pdly disappear
 Responsibility for adjusting claims, attending to medical needs and of edu- eating disabled veterans, is. definitely fixed under the law creating the Neter- ans bureau. It rests SQuarely upon the director, rather than between the War Risk Insurance bureau, the Fed | eral Board for Vocational Training and | the Public Health Service, the three | agencies that formerly administered aid l independently.
 The problem of providing medical fa1- ! cilities, including hospitals, is regard | ed as the most difficult of ali those com l ing within the jurisdiction of the bur 1 eau. Plans already are under way for | it's solution. The bureau announces that | the 5000, ,0OO appropriation for hospi- | tai construction will be supplemented by use of authority given the director | to enter into contracts with state, nun l fcipal and private hospitals for the inn I mediate accommodation of veterans Tn need of hospital care. The announce ment says that 6, 800 new beds will be placed in use for soldier patients by January next year.
 ! Other duties of the director include inspection of all hospitals having sol
 dier patients, guardianship of 26, $50 war risk patients now being cared for in 500 private and 90 government hos pitals, command of all Public Health Service doctors and nurses engaged in soldier rehabilitation work, education of
 men whose earning capacity was inn paired by service and who must be taught new means of support, admin istration of an insurance business with
 65l ,054 active, and 397 ,S9O term poli- cies with a computed value of S2,9S0,- 66O, ,235, and the average of S1 ,O00, ,O0O- a-day expenditure by the government
 in meeting the compensation and in
 surance claims and which are increas-
 ing at the rate of 500 claims day.

en do it. Probably there has perco- lated to their youthful minds the fact that women are just learning the things that they, as children, would like to learn now so that they will be ready, when the time comes, to step from their town of little play houses, into the big town where the big folks think, and act more or less properly.
 They feel that they want to know how to do it all properly right from the start. Moreover they are not as conceited as many grown-ups and they are willing and anxious to have some grownup man or woman tell them, often, how they should con- tinue to run the Junior Town they have started. They don't want to throw a good thing away, and they consider their Junior Town," a good thing-as starter, which may be inn proved under proper instruction-and instruction and a place to get together for their town meetings is what they want
 To do this they hope that some person, versed in such affairs, will in | terest himself or herself in this Junior Town and help it to be- come, perhaps, a Junior City" The i officials of Junior Town are men | toned in the news columns of tOday'S Herald.
