supply deficiencies in appropriations
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1921 and prior fiscal years and for
other purposes, approved June 10,

habiltation Act, as amended, to take
vocational training must make ap-
plcation therefor within eighteen
months, from the date of the approval

The above gives all men who are
disabled or believe themselves dis
abled to a cause of the World War,
up to and including December 16,
1922 in which to make application for
vocational training, applications can
not be considered after that date.
The application for vocational
training Of any disabled eX-servicc
person, either male or female will be
| interpreted to mean any written ap-
plication from such person, express
/ ing d desire for vocational training
under the provisions of the Vocational
/ Rehabilitation Act, or the receipt OF
/ the Federal Board forms which are in
use or have been in use to record the
facts concerning any applicant whcth-
Cr such forms have been filled on, lv
the applicant himself and returned to
| the Board whether such forms have
I been NllcG out By a repre- cntatiye o.
/ the Board while interviewing the APP
plica-ant. II any such applications
from disabled CX-scrvice persons arc
received on or subsequent to Deccm-
Der l6, 1922 they will be considered
on their merits without regard to the
time limitation referred to herein, il
such applications bear a post mark

various colleges, Universities, shops
and many concerns, to this can be add
ed Ais that have already completed
their training successfully, with {
wage increase of about two hundred
percent, over their pre-war occupa

Nebraska, who at the present tim'
cannot, successfully enter training
and who are in such physical life's vo
cation.
