LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER
 MAKES PLEA

Frank J. Connolly, veteran engin- ger for the Southern Pacific, in per sonal plea to motorists, states that he is puzzled to know why automobile drivers not only risk their own lives but the lives of those riding with them by trying to pass in front of swiftly moving trains.
 "A fault wholly within the power of the driver of a machine to re medy," said Conolly, lis to drive right up to within ten or twenty feet of the tracks when he sees train ap- preaching, even when he intends to stop. You may have a right to do this, but it does not give the men on the engine a chance; they have no way of knowing whether you in tend crossing the track or stopping until you get right on the track Stop back or slow up 200 feet from the crossing. This will give us a chance and avoid many accidents, Also, when you hear train approach ing, do not take for granted that it is freight train; it may be fast passenger train, and such have the habit of creeping onto you before you know it. The best way is to stop look and listen at railroad crossing not just one of the passengers look

break in the chain of responsibility.
 In view of this condition the re- markable thing about the present re mobilization program is that it accom- plished what little it has. Such pro- gress as has been made is a tribute to the sincerity of the men on the Bureau, the Board and the Public Health Service who generally have made the hest of an impossible situa- tiOn.
 (b)-The Hospital Situation.
 The best of this impossible situa- tion. has been insufficient always This is particularly true regarding disqualification.
 Of the 10000 men now in hospitals, 4.500 are in institutions which are unfit because suitable hospital facili- ties are not available.
 This is the condition despite the fact that in October. 1919, the present hospital needs were most accuratly forecast by the then Surgeon Gener- al of the Public Health Service. At that time he sent memorandum to the Secretary. of the Treasury (House Document No. 4S1) in which he esti- mated the number of beds required before October, 1921 to be 30,66O, or 23,460 more than then were available. This document requested an appro- priation of $S5.000,0O0 with which to provide hospitals to furnish these beds.
 (c) Examples of unfit Hospitals Conditions
 Due to the shortage of adequate hos pital facilities and the lack of definite responsibility for hospitalization shocking conditions have been reveal ed. Disabled veterans have been found in charity wards, almshouses l insane asylums and county jails.
 III Evils of the Present System and Result.
 The three agencies are at present working closer together than ever be fore. Their cooperation is about as close and effective as possible under the present laws. yet the benefits the ] nation intended the disabled ex service man to receive are not made | available because the present system of divided responsibility is inherent i 1y wrong.

treatment. vocational training and i financial support. The Government has recognized the three needs but overlooks the fact they are the simultaneous needs of one man and not of three different men or of one man at three different times. It makes three problems out of what is really three part problem. Con tinuing this faulty conception it has delegated responsibility to three agencies, each independent of the others The Public Health Service for treatment, the Federal Board for Training, the War Risk Bureau feY financial support. In practice, com pensation .S divorced from training and medical treatment from both. These three agencies conflict and duplicate in most instances and fail of liason in others, leaving the dis abled man totally without support while being passed from the jurisdic- tion of one agency to that of another
 2-Compensation that Often Fails to Compensate.
 The gap between training and treatment presents a serious scient- fife defect in our system, but this defect is not felt so keenly by the men themselves as are the gaps in compensation scheme. Divided responsibility here causes a man to think twice before he ventures to take up training if he realizes there will be a hiatus of three weeks between the time he leaves the Bureau pay roll until he is entered on the Board payroll And on leaving training the average no-pay interim is eight weeks. In thousands of cases it has been many months in both instances.
 In like manner he hesitates to en- ter hospital before he begins to draw compensation. \ recent survey of conditions in a tubercular hospital disclosed that about 75 percent of the patients had received no compen- sation and were in wretched state of anxiety. Some had left the hos Bital in their weakened condition to try to work and support their famil- ies, because the Government had fail ed to do so.
 3-Failure of Generalization.
 The third inherent defect in the system is it's failure to recognize that the problem of training, treatment and compensation is an individual
 
 sons in district and branch offices who see and deal only with paper re- cords. The experiment. of centrali- zation has failed.
 | 4-Office Inefficiency, Duplication of effort and EXtrava gance.
 The existence of three indepen- | dent agencies to deal with one pro blem results in duplication of records and the useless expenditures of effort, | time and money. Instead of the agents of three Bureaus interview 1 ing a disabled man on three occasions | -one visit by enc government agent should suffice to adjust all his claims against the government.
 1 5-The Result.
 As a result of this state of affairs, disabled veterans are suffering and have died because of government negligence responsible for delays in awarding compensation and unfit and 1 inadequate facilities for men in need of hospitalization.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

It is the serious diseases that colds lead to that makes them dangerous. They prepare the system for the re- ception and development of the germs of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyptheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough and measles. You are much more likely to contract these diseases when you have cold. For that req son you should get rid of every cold as quickly as possible. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy will help you. It is widely known as a cure for bad colds.

 6-The United States Public Health Service.
 The position of the United States Public Health Service is peculiar. It took it's place in the rehabilita- tion scheme poorly equipped for the work it was to perform but was ap- parently the best medical gover1l- mental agency then available It acts as an agent of both the Bureau and the Board, but is responsible to no authority common to both Board and Bureau, because there is no such authority.
 (a) Breakdown of Responsibility.
 When an organization is responsi- ble for certain results, the least that can be expected is that it shall have at it's disposal, and directly respon- sible to, facilities and agencies through which it is reasonable to pre- sume that the results desired may be obtained. In the present rehabilita- tion scheme this is not the case.
 The Bureau is responsible for just and prompt awards of compensation, but has never accomplished this vital object. Physical examinations upon which compensation is based are m"d7 bY the Public Health Service BIT THE BUREAU DOES NOT PER. MT THIS SERVICE TO MAKE RAT 1NGS OF THE DEGREE OF DIS ABILITY FOUND. The Bureau never sees the claimant except where he forces himself before it. It deals with written records. The Bureau is res ponsible for medical care and hos polarization. It has no doctors, nurs es or hospitals for the actual treat ment of disabled
 The Board is responsible for Voca tional Training Physical eXamina tions are necessary. The Board has no examiners for this purpose. The work is delegated to the Public Health Service, AND THE BOARI ACCEPTS FULLY THE FINDINGS OF THE SERVICE.
 Under such conditions the leas - that could be expected would seen to be that the Public Health Service be held strictly accountable to tht same authority that controls the Boart and the Bureau. This is not possibi, under the law. The Board and tht Bureau are not responsible to tht same authority. Thus there is a cieal

GOOD ADVICE
 A newly elected Captain of a Cliff ton Basket Ball Team, in addressing his associates, who were looking for ward to making the Team, said: Boys cut out the cigarette, as you cannot operate both safely, any more than booze and gasoline in the same car. Athletics and the cigarette don go together, they never did
 This bit of advice coming from a red blooded Aemrican, one of their own number who had made his mark in life through clean living and sane exercise, is already having it's weight. Too many of our boys are taught that sound advice comes only through some weakling. The Clifton young man have set the pace, let us follow.
 Electrician J. Bunch, of the A C. Copper Co.,, left on Monday morning for Dos Cabezas, Ariz., on a business trip. He made the trip in his auto and expects to return for his family in a few days.
 Deputies Henry and Worsham have been busy for time rounding mp bootleggers. Their efforts were re- warded on Friday morning in an old timer by the name of Jesse Vargus. Federal officer Quark of Fl Paso was present and assisted in the arrest. They expect to land another within a few days. The difficulty of round ing up these lawless booze people is due to some extent to the fact that they still have some sympathizers, though it is hard to imagine such de based humanity.
