cowARDLY CONDUCT.

Friday, at about noon, an unknown
man driving a Ford ran into a small
boy who was riding a bicycle, knocked
the boy off his wheel and injured him
painfully, though not seriously. The
driver of the flivver continued on his
way, speeding up to get away from
the scene of the accident, rather than
stopping to see how seriously his VIC
tim had been injured.
Similar cases have occurred before
but 1t is not too late to speak of the
cowardHness of such conduct, nor OF
the downright criminality of drivers
who so conduct themselves. Pedestri-
ans, bicyclists and others who are in
jured by such reckless drivers have a
lice are not able to stop such willful
and malicious carelessness on the part
of automobile drivers the citizens
ought TO demand that a change be
made in the department
AS TO the drivers themselves, no
terms which may be used in a decent
family newspaper are strong enough
to describe them. Noah Webster
doesn't include in his glossary of the
English language words of sufficient
brilliancy TO designate these ruffians.
They are worst than Huns and Boches.

is remarkable for the science by
which the master brings about the
simplicity of his results. He made
use of every artifice which the paint
ers knew in his day; and he brought
about the marvellous results that his
soul had visioned. His focal concen-
tration was attained by the science Of
perspective, which he applied alike to
lines and atmosphere. A studied. in
tent is observable in the settled di-
vision of radiance and gloom.
There is an indescribable joy in the
heavenly company, whose innocent
winged units crowd round the ascend
ing Virgin. Some of them sing, some
play, some are praying. but all Of
them rejoice. They seem to move cas-
lily through the soft clouds that sus-
tain their blessed lady. At least some
are in the light and still others in
gloom, but all are inspired with a
spirit of life that delights the minds
eye. Behold these angels rise with
the beautiful apparition of Mary and
swarm around her as she ascends
on the cloud.
They seem to wait and worship; for
now Mary has paused. She is checked
by her reverent love. She sees the
Eternal looking down upon her; and
with outstretched arms, with her up
turned face transfigured with glad
ness, she longs for the Heaven out
of which Jehovah bends. To this point
in the picture-the Virgins face-Ti-
tan invites your attention with all the
arts of which he was master.
Out of the deep shade cast by the
rising clouds of glory the Apostles
look up from around the empty tomb.
The eyes and thoughts of them ali
are directed to the circle of clouds
and the upward passage of the float
ing angles. The lifelike, the truly
physical attitude of these men and
their faces with their several express
sions of devotion, fear, and rapture
raise the painter of this picture to as
high rank as Raphael or Michael An
gelo. and make the Assumption the
second greatest picture in the world.

UNCLE SAM AND THE DISABLED
SOLDIER.
An Editorial BY Or. Frank Crane

An Editorial BY Or. Frank Crane.
While there is so much criticism
of the government going on, and now
that the war is over nobody seems to
have "a kind word for Uncle Sam, /
would like to call attention to one
really good and first class thing he
is doing.
The government has appropriated
$50, 10000 900 to nelp all those who have
been incapacitated by the war 70 fit
themselves for jobs.
That is quite a tidy sum. Do you
know about it? Are you a disabled
soldier, or do you know of one? If so,
here is the chance to find out that the
country that asked men to fight for
it is not altogether ungrateful.
Every week hundreds of service men
are discharged as cured from the gov
eminent hospitals, and at the same
time returned to civilian status, but
these young men in many cases are
not physically and mentally able to
take up their former vocation. The
federal board of vocational education
has 100000, 900 at its disposal and is
prepared TO give training to any dis
abled eX-service man honorably dis
charged since April7, 1917. who is un..
able TO carry on at his former work
without a real handicap and whose
condition makes such training FEAST
BILE. In this way the government has
provided a comparatively happy and
Independent future for such men.
The government now pays men from
$50 to $170 per month. according to
mans dependents and the cost of
living in the locality in which he IS
trained. These men are trained at
many OF the best professional and
trade schools in the country; others
are trained on the Job with some prac-
teal firm still others prefer 10 keep
their present positions and study IN
night courses without training pay in
order TO advance themselves

lished. he can be almost Immediately

Lack OF schooling does not make
man ineligible The board viii en-
deavor 20 train the most nllterate for
eigners. Many men think Il is neces-
sary for them to leave home towns
In order 20 get training OF any sort.
AS the board places a great many men
IN placement training on the job.
IL Is quite possible that a man can
live at home while taking training.

ance Bureau, and also to training un-

You may have heard ex-soldiers or
