WILL PROBE CARE OF
DISABLED VETERANS

Washington, D. C.-President Hard.
ing has decided to have an exhaustive
investigation made Of government care
of disabled war veterans. Within a
few days he will select special COM
mittee Of inquiry.
The president, 1t was said, was de-
termined to lay the situation before
congress and the country to correct
possible abuses. The Investigators
will be instructed to recommend any
remedial legislation.
Twelve thousand government beds
throughout the country have been
found available for eX-service men,
and will soon be utilized for relief of
many suffering former soldiers, Presi-
dent Harding announced after the cabi-
net meeting. The president some time
ago appealed to all department heads
to look into the hospital situation In
view of the shortage complained Of
for proper care of ailing ex-service
men. Heads Of departments by check
ing up all facilities, he said, had dis
covered a total of about 10000 wait
ing beds that can soon be of service,
This, the president hoped, would go
far toward relieving suffering among
afflicted soldiers.

brand new grocery store in the
Taylor building just north of the
new Hunt block. The new store
has a new and complete line Of

PROF. NICHOLS REELECTED

The Vashon School Board met
on Monday evening of this week
and organized by electing Mr.. X,
j, Field, president and Geo. S.
Bonnell, clerk. The most import
ant business transacted was the
election OF w. r.. Nichols to head
the schools for another year. The
action was unanimous. The board
delegated to Mr.. Nichols the pow
err to select his own corps of
teachers for the coming year-the
board to fix all salaries. This is
Mr., Nichols first year here but
we have heard but very little
criticism Of the schools the past
season and many words of whole
some praise--so we think the
board has acted wisely in select
ing the school head for the com
ing year as early as they have,
and we're glad Mr.. Nichols is the
man chosen.
