is capable of producing high-speed

goes home in September or October.
THE PRIMARY SNOWFALL
For many years politicians have
been too, timid to attack the primary
election principle, but since Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary of War
Weeks came out for the convention
system, the little primary SNOWFALL
has been growing and growing. Ac-
cording to the best political advices
in Washington the country is soon to
be filled with an agitation for the
return to the old methodof nominal
ing candidates. And naturally the
new movement is charged up 1.-THE
cold guard"
The United States Government is
conducting the largest trade and in
dustrial school in the world. 1t has
more than 13O,738 students enrolled.
This school, is the rehabilitation di-
vision of the United States Veterans
Bureau through which the Govern
ment is training these 13O,73S veter-
ans in a trade, industry, profession,
business Or inagriculture.
The instruction in these vocations
is furnished in leading colleges, tech
nical schools, commercial schools as
we'll as in business establishment,
shops and on farms. These men
are in training in every state in the
union and in every large city in the
country. In all the large industrial
centers these men who have received
this intensive training from the
Government are available for posi-
Etions. Every vocation is represent
ed and any employer who neads adj
ditional personnel will be furnished
such personnel from his vicinity in
short time by notifying the Veterans
Bureau. Not only is this personnel
trained in the best schools available
but they have also received practical
instruction on the job in industrial
establishments and in shops.
These men are not permitted to ter
inmate their training until the Bur-
eau is assured that they are skilled
workmen and capable of carrying on
| in the vocation for which they are
trained, and meet the requirements
of the commercial, industrial and
| agricultural world. The courses of
instruction vary in length from one
year to four years while the average
length of course is two years.
| The public has the impression that
the majority of men who are re-
ceiving vocational training suffer
from amputations. This impression
| is erroneous as statistics compiled by
the Veterans Bureau show. that less
than two per cent of the men in train
| ing suffer from amputations. The
other $3.50 have disabilities such as,
shrapnel and gun-shot wounds and
other disabilities with which the
civilian population is subject to such
as, heart trouble, bronchial diseases
and minor disabilities. These men,
however, are not permitted to select
courses of training in which their
disabilities will be handicap or in
terfere in any way. , Those persons
who have tuberculosis are, not per-
mitted to take up vocational training
until the tuberculosis is arrested or
| Inactive. The disabilities OF the
majority of the vocational students
are not noticeable and in no way pre-
vent them from successfully carrying
| on and competing with the civilian
workers on an equal basis.

particular vocation write to Re-

Employers who wish to employ

trained and whose ability to success

assured by the training given should

ed. when the position is available and
