CONGRESS IS URGED TO ACT
Five Provisions Requested In Aid Of
Disabled Veterans, Amending
Vocational Training Law.

Amendment of the law under which
are given vocational training, SO as
to provide five things demanded by
the last convention Of the American
Legion mt Cleveland was urged In
congress by Legion representatives.
The five provisions requested by
the Legion are:
i. Vocational training for American
citizens who served with the allied
armies. who wer disabled and who
are not entitled to training under the
present law.
2. Training with pay for all dis
abled veterans with 10 per cent or
more disability. instead Of training
with pay for some and training with
out pay for others. as now provided.
8. Vocational training for the wild,
ows and orphans Of all men who died
In the service.
4. The right Of the federal board
for vocational education to give all
disabled men In training such medical
care and treatment as Is necessary
to keep them at their courses.
3. That all disabled men In train
Ing shall receive 500 a month from
the government while In training and
those with dependents 1920 a month,
instead Of different sums based upon
the cost of living in different local
tiles as now provided.
A special plea was made by John
Thomas Taylor of the national legis-
lative committee Of the Legion for
vocational training for the widows
and orphans Of the American dead Of
the World war. He said that un-
doubtedly the $1,000 American chill
dren whose fathers slept In Flanders
fields were entitled to the same edu-
cational advantages that they would
have had, were their fathers alive and
able to provide for them. The wild

Because the average man builds q

event of tremendous importance to him

ful study and thought. There are
many modern features In hOme-build-
Ing that cannot be overlooked If the
finished product is to be entirely

most important developments in home
building In the last decade has been
that Of III parlOrs and sleeping
pOrclies. With the growth in popu-
larity of the "fresh air" idea, es.
pecially when sleeping, these two fac
tors have become prominent parts of
new houses. And as the years pass,
improvements have been made In
their construction until now they are

Another important factor In home
building is the material to be used.
Because of its permanency and
strength, brick Is used extensively. 1t

Dice Gaming Ancient Sport.

Gaming with dice and cards has pre-.
vailed from the earliest times. We
do not read Of gambling houses IN the
classic literature of Greece. but there
can be no doubt that the vice was very
widely practiced In private houses. In
Rome, under the emperors. gambling
prevailed extensively. Augustus and
most of the succeeding sovereigns were
passionately fond Of the dice, and the
emperor Claudius wrote a book on the
subject. A Roman would transport
to a gambling resort his whole fortune
coins, papers and chattels-and,
after losing all. would even seize the
cloaks of his slaves to stake on a
change of luck.
