Sound Amplifers to
end.Armistice Day.
Speech to Millions

Washington, oct. 5.-Thousands Of
persons in New York. Chicago and
san Francisco may hear President
Harding's speech at the buria! of the
unknown American soldier at Airing
ton Nov. II, if local arrangements can
he made to assemble them within
range of sound amplfiers to be in
stalled by the American Telephone &
Telegraph engUeers.
In the three cities, if audiences can
be assembled in older places where
there is quiet and where ther would
be no disturbing echoes, it is entirely
possible that a million persons could
be placed to hear the speech.
1t would be the first time anything
on so large a scale has been attempted
in public, but experiments by Bell
engineers between the three cities have
demonstrated that the results would
be in keeping with the solemnity and
historic importance of the occasion.
Across the continent will be numbers
of skilled engineers acting as opera
tives for the successful amplitication
of President Harding's voice.

Consuming Public
Still Spends for
Choicest Meats

Washington, Oct. 5.-BuSinosS de-
preston and unemployment have not
been reflected in the American rublic's
choice of meat, the Institute of Ameri
can Meat Packers said in statement
issued today reviewing meat aid live
stock condition for, September.
with nearly 100000 Industrial
workers reported idle by the national
unemployment conference, it naturally
would. be expected" the statement
said, that the so-called choice meats
would be less in demand and that Il
considerable share of the consuming
public would turn to those cuts which
are available at very much lower
prices. But with the single exception
of fore quarter cuts of beef there
has been no change in consumers buy
ing preferences. Throughout Septcm-
Der the beef from more costly cattle
was in better demand than the less
expensive grades and the relatively
higher priced pork cuts were more
eagerly sought than those selling at
lower figures.

Practical Application
Vocational Training

Washington, Oct. 5.-The present
system of federal vocational training
contains "decidedly too much theory"
and needs the injection of practical
methods, Director Forbes of the veter-
ans bureau declared in a report to
President Harding made public today
and covering his recent countrywid
inspection of disqualification and voca-
tional training facilities.
In making public the report Col.
Forbes characterized the system as
enthusiastically and absolutely wrong
Nand expressed doubt whether very
many men have actually been reha-
bilitated by the government and have
gone back to their respective commu-
mites as wage carriers and as assets"
I'VE have farmed men out under
this system" the director added. 1T
is nothing short of crime and slavery
to put men into some of the places
they have been put | am opposed to
the sweatshop system and | do not
propose TO let more of the former
service men be exploited by mushroom
houses that have sprung up merely
to exploit the soldier and get the gov
crnments money"
Government disqualification of for
NOR service men was said by Colonel
Forbes in his report to he nearly
equal to the needs. except in certain
localities. such as California: but, he
added, it would he necessary to cor
tinue expanding the program.
Colonel Forbes reiterated to the
president the belief that a govern
ment vocational university for for
mer service men and women would il
a measure solve the problem Few
of the beneficaries of the system, he
added, get what they desire in the way
of training. and the government loses
sight of them once they have been

only of the money they will make off
