you can read the type behind him,
provided he is accommodating and
you read rapidly. The illumination is
said to come from photogenic plate
of fatty substance supplied with a
profusion of fine tracheal branches,
which carry rich supply of oxygen to

There are two theories to explain the

CLEANUP SQUADS MAKING REC
QRps.

All records for speed have been
broken by the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance in handling of claims of ex-
service men forwarded by the cleans
up squad OF government agencies, the
Red Cross and the American Legion,
now operating in every state of the
south.
The cleanup squad, composed Of
experts familiar with all the acts
passed for soldier relief, was sent out
with the one idea in view of cutting
the red tape that has held the veteran
back from receiving the various forms
of compensation that the government
is glad to give. The plan of the squad
is to bring this service right to the
door of everyone who served in the
World war, and in this way get i'm
mediate and satisfactory action.
How well it has worked is shown
by reports from Tennessee. The squad
began functioning in that state on
August is. UP to September 1. more
than 5000 ex-soldiers had placed their
claims with the squad. More than IS
of these men. were Immediately sent
to hospitals. Most of the others filed
claims for monetary compensation, vo-
cational training and other govern
fnent benefits, and so thorough has
been the work of the squad that these
claims have been returned with proper
results in from nine days to two weeks

THE LAskER SHIPPING BOARD
SCANDAL.


1 The shipping board scandal got a
good airing in the senate just prior 10
the recess adjournment-not the old
charges Of extravaganza and waste
while the war was on, war itself being
extravaganza and waste Of everything
but the new scandal Of the Lasker
administration, which is seeking TO
employ two men at SIS, 900 each and
one at $4,000 in the operations de-
partment, and most of lawyers at
salaries ranging from $4,000 down to
$4,000 and others at slightly less.
President Harding approved the Las
ker plan in writing.
The character and nature of this
employment was thoroughly exposed
by Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.) ],
who showed that some of the men to
be employed<at large salaries had re-
Gently been employed in governmental
departments at comparatively small
salaries.
Senator King (Dem. Utah), pointed
out that some great law firms in New
York made 1t practice to employ
young men who have secret informa-
ton obtained as employees in govern
ment departments and then utilize that
information against the government.
Reprehensible as that is, that is not
the worst story Of the controversy. .
said Senator Harrison. 1.-THE facts are
disclosed here's that practically every
man who is an attorney in the legal
department under Mr.. Lasker came in
on the recommendation of some big
law firm in New York, some OF whom
have cases against the shipping board"
Senator Harrison read testimony OF
Mr.. Schlessinger. head of the legal de-
partment OF the board, that he had Of
fered one lawyer $4,000, but the Laws
yer was holding off because there were
some things he wanted to talk over.
He then testifies that this lawyers

The PelIagra Scare-A Gross
Injustice to the South


The South has suffered much and
long from the reputation of being IN
healthfu1. There can be no question
that many thousands Of the millions
who have migrated from the north and
middle west to the northwest and to
Canada within the last few decades
would have come south had it not
been for the fear of yellow fever, NAL
aria, hook worm and other tropical
diseases. This reputation of being a
hotbed of disease has interfered very
materially with the development of the
most fertile lands In the United States
and it has prevented many industries
from locating in the favored south.
yellow fever having been driven
forever from the gulf and Atlantic
ports, and malaria and nook worm
having been eradicated in some and
greatly reduced in the other southern
states there has been the hope that
many white farmers now living on
the high priced lands of other sections
of the country could be induced to
take advantage of the opportunity to
buy and cultivate the cheap and fer
tile lands Of the south. There is now
the particular need for farmers to take
the place of the hundreds of thousands
Of negroes who were lured from the
farms Of the south by the high wages
in the industrial centers of the north
during the war; and plans have been
made in many southern states to adj
vertise in the. north and west the OPP

the hope of attracting white farmers
from less favored sections of the
country.

health officers that famine exists and
that pelIagra is Increasing, or that it is
prevalent to an alarming extent any

would realize that pellagra is a com
