disorders. are being crowded in with
criminally insane. dope addicts and

In addition to DR.. Salmon those who
urged passage of the bill included
DR.. H. A. Pattison of New York.
National tuberculosis Association; F..
w. Galbraith, national commander of
the American Legion. and several
other officers of the latter organiza-

DR.. Pattison stressed the need for
government hospitals for the treat
ment of veterans suffering from
tuberculosis. while Mr.. Galbraith
charged that decentralization Of
authority in dealing with disabled
men had put many of them In
'frightful" predicament.

men receiving treatment at govern

he said, and six, of each ten men SO
inflicted are insane.
In declaring that, the government
local asylums, a;mshouses and sana-
toriums operated for private gain, Dr.
Salmon said:
Men so committed, as a rule, are
never visited by federal officials to see
whether they are properly cared Tor
or whether the institutions in which
they are confined are even freproof or
fit for human beings" He added that
in some instances proprietors of pri-
vate SanatoriumS were pocketing as
profit as much as 60 cents on each
dollar received for the care OF ex-sol-
.diers.
DR.. Salmon also. charged that under
the present method insane service men
must be adjudged insane paupers" in
court before they can be committed to
state or county asylumS.

said, that she would rather see her
son under a cross in France than to
have him adjudged an insane pauper

DR.. Salmon added that this unseen

the government provides suitable in

A number of students at Armstrong
Manual Training School, anxious to

school officials yesterday a request that
course in the needle industry be

that steps to organize a class in

If the tailoring course is introduced
