WAR R0BS THREE OF MEMORY
Trio Among Most Unusual Cases on
Record at Veterans Bureau
In Washington.

Three men who have lost them
selves and whose memory does not
extend back to the war where they
received injury, are among the most
unusual cases on record at the Vet.
Grams bureau in Washington, d. c.,
among the long list of war victims.
The American Legion Is endeavoring
to assist the unfortunate ex-service
men In finding their relatives.
Hayward Thompson-at least that
is what he is now called--is one OF
the most peculiar cases. He has for
gotten who he Is. In his head Is an
ugly shrapnel wound. His memory
goes back to January %, 1922, when
he arrived at hotel in Denver, with
bill In his pocket from one of the
most expensive hotels 10 Colorado
Springs. His memory, he now believes,
lapsed somewhere, either far back
In France or on the trip between Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. Thompson
remembers having had $1,000 in his
pocket and access to many thousands
more.
In searching Washington records for
some trace Of the lost man, it was
found that certain Hayward Thomp-
son enlisted In the Marine corps June
8, 1918, and was discharged January
6, 1919. He had a wife and three
children at Pennington, Mo-, and
mother Mrs. Louise Thompson, at
Chicago. The man with shrapnel
wound In his head and no memory of
any relatives at all, telegraphed IN
great eagerness to Pennington, Mo-.
and to Chicago. He received no
answer.
Not SO long ago clean-cut young
man appeared at Los Angeles hospi-
tai. He wore an American Legion
button. When questioned as to who
he was he stated he did not know.
II think / am thirty-two years DID,"
he said II am five feet, nine inches
and weigh 1870 pounds. My eyes are
gray and l have blond hair. be-
lieve l was a soldier. If any one can
tell me who / am, or anything about
my past, please let me know" The
Los Angeles post Of the Legion is max
ing every effort to help the man find
himself.
A third unidentified living" lives
at 735 North Thirty-frst street, Louis
Vile. He is known as Leonard Wells,
20 the neighborhood. His memory is
hazy. He believes that he enlisted
In the old First Kentucky infantry,
and with the command was transferred
to replacement detachment and sent
to France. His photograph was for
warded to his company commander,
who recognized the face but did not
recall a name. A machine gun bullet
had pierced his abdomen and injured
his spine. Another had injured the
left shoulder cap. No compensation
or insurance can be awarded to this
man, the Veterans bureau regrets, UNI
til his identity can be established.
France, 1t is said, has six Of these
unidentified" living ex-service men.
Great Britain has few. These lost
souls who cannot find their memories,
and who know they cannot, present a
spectacle unique and pathetic. They
are lost and know 1t.

can and allied governments.
Although born in Austria, Sergeant
Glucksman enlisted with the marines
at the outbreak of the war and al.
though too modest to tell the story Of
his achievements while fighting
against the Germans, the American
Legion at Washington discovered that
Glucksman fought IN seven major en-
gagements, verdun, Belleau Woods,
Chateau Thierry, Marbach, st. Mihiel,
Scissors and Mont Blanc.
On the morning Of October 3, 1913,
Sergeant Glucksman started out to get
water for his comrades. He returned
without the water but with 20 Ger
mans and painful wound. The
"Devll Dog" sergeant captured lone
German and instead of bayoneting his
captive forced him to lead him to the
rest Of the advance party. Coming
onto the whole batch OF 20, Sergeant
Glucksman waved hand grenade and
ordered them all out Of the shell hole
they were occupying and into the
arms of his American comrades. BY
executive appointment Glucksman Is
now employed at the navy yard ~

It was easy enough for him to evade
Fred Mitchell's ralIyIngs these days;
the sprig's mood was truculent, not
toward his roommate but toward con-

Germany.

Of the Peace Sullivan TO unslip the
lines of their single blessedness.
Mr.. Sullivan Is also the man who
started the "Under one head, the
American Legion" slogan which has
been adopted by all the war organi-
cations Of his home county to adj
vance the interests of the service men,
carry on disqualification work, elimi-
nate drives and working generally for
the benefit of the men who served
their country.
AS Mr. Sullivan himself expresses
II: "All war organizations In the
county have united under one head
for the purpose of centrallzing our
work. We expects to lend our efforts
largely to disqualification work and In
other ways serving the disabled serv-
Ice men by placing the responsibilities
on the various departments Of govern
ment where they belong rather than
by advancing their rights In slip
shod fashion"

GETTING STARTED RIGHT,
Is ADVICE OF HENRY

Every farmer knows that sue
cess In producing fine stock de-
ponds upon getting the young
animals started right.
The number OF drafted men
rejected for physical disability
during the war shows that we
need to pay more attention to
building up our children phys
ically. The kindergarten, with
its admirable system Of physi-
cal culture, and Its sunny. airy
rooms, where the children spend
three happy hours each school
day, furnishes the best possible
environment, and physical as
well as intellectual and social
training.
II is too bad that kindergar-
tens are not available for a far
larger percentage Of our chill
dren. Early training such as is
given In the kindergarten should
make healthier children, and
better children In every way

good habits. When Mary comes home
In hurry to go out to play, she will
throw her books on the nearest chair.
Don't say, "Oh, well, she is little, and
1t Is hard to remember all the time.
I'll let it go this time" That. is where
you will fail. Even though Mary has
already gone away to play, she should
be called back Immediately and told
In kind manner, "You forgot your
books today. Put them away, and
then you may go to play" One or
two experiences Of that kind will soon
make Mary more careful.
Third repeat the desirable action as
often as possible. We all know that
the habit Is most firmly fixed which
we have been practicing longest. Seize
every occasion to perform the act
which you wish to become habit
and Its acquisition will come all the
sooner.
DO Not Depend on Talking.
Last of ali, act, don't talk. Profess
sor James says, in his Talks to Teach
ers: Don't preach too much or
abound In good talk In the abstract"
When Mary throws her coat on the
floor and her rubbers in the middle Of
the hall, don't tell her that nice little
girls don't do those thugs, or that
she Is careless girl and should know
better, and a great deal more to that
effect. Simply call her as soon as
you discover what she has done, and
tell her quietly and good-naturedly to
put her things away Immediately, and
then see that she does 1t. Such treat.
ment as this Is far more effective
than mere talking.

THE KINDERGARTEN A NE.
cESsiTY; NOT A LUXURY

P. P. Claxton, federal COM
missioner Of education, has
said that during the year 1920,
the American people spent more
for luxuries than they have spent
on education In the entire his
tory Of the country.
This nation, with Its vast re-
sources can well afford to pro-
vide all Of its children with ev-
cry educational advantage, be-
ginning with the kindergarten,
and when we come to recognize
In prevalent waves Of crime,
anarchy and unrest, the tragic
results of neglecting the impress
sionable years Of childhood, the
kindergarten will be considered
a necessity, not a luxury.

Child Training at Home
HABIT
FORMATION
BY OLIVE ROBERTS
University Of Montana.

MOTHERS are often heard to say,
lNJ MY children have such untidy
habits, and l don't seem TO be able
to break them. talk oil day long, but
II doesn't do any good"
No mother needs to endure her chill
dren's untidy habits, or any other I'M
desirable habits, II she goes about
training in the right way, and is will
ing to take little trouble to carry 1t
out. Four simple rules based on psy.
chology, may serve to give such
mothers an insight into the means of
forming right habits. If carried out
faithfully, these rules cannot fail to
produce results.
First decide for yourself what habit
you wish to form. Then start enthusi-
astically and determinedly to break
the old and launch the new one. Say
to your children, Beginning today, we
are all going to hang up our wraps,
and put our books and rubbers In the
proper places when we come home
from school. Let's see who remembers
every time, and doesn't have to have
mother tell her once about it," Arouse
as much enthusiasm as you can about
the matter. Be careful that you do
not start to break and form anew too
many habits at one time. Select one
or two habits to work out and keep at
them until you are reasonably sure
that they are we'll fixed. Then start
on another.
May BE Hard Task.
Second, permit no exceptions to oc-
cur after you have once started. No
matter how good the intentions Of the
children are, they will lapse into the
old ways after a few days. That Is
when you will have to work. You win
find that eternal vigilance on your part
will be the price of your children's
