Iaminations are made each month without cost to ex-service men and the insurance business is conducted free
 There are 61 men and women em- ployed in the offices of the veterans bureau here. This IS not counting physicians. The monthly pay roll, as previously stated. is $1TS,500 di- vided as follows: To ex-service men in training, $150,000; to schools and institutions for tuition, s12,000; to hospitals for care of disabled veter- ans, $6,000, and to salaries for em- ployes of the bureau, s1O,500.
 Expenditures From Washington
 These figures, it is stated, do not cover the total expenditures in this district as all claims for compensa- tion are paid directly from Washing ton.
 "Throughout the business depres- sion, the average business man did not know that there has been and still exists in their midst an institu- tion that is one of the livest and most going concerns in Birmingham" MT. Calvert said,
 When you realize that Alabama furnished, during the last war, some Sl,000 men, great proportion of whom served in the actual fighting areas. Alabama, owing to this fact. has greater percentage of disabl veterans than any other section of the country, according to it's popula- tion. You will appreciate what it means to have the burden of caring for these men placed where it prop erly belongs, and not on the local taxpayers of our state.

 The Exhibit
 You know what the exhibit is to be like. don't you? It's to occupy the whole lower floor of the Jacobs Furniture company. Prizes are to be given away by the manufacturers every hour-~something good to eat or something good to. use-and given you. not with any effort on your part, but just on the strength of your luck in registering The things on exhibit will all be Birmingham- made products; put together, roasted, mixed, set up, sawed out and nailed together, woven, or just naturally otherwise manufactured by Birmfng- ham fingers, and folks who draw their pay from Birmingham citizens. Maybe those employees are your fathers, brothers or sisters.
 More Jobs
 You want to help along the manu- factories of your own home town. don't you? That means more jobs for everybody. Then get busy, find 3ut the brands of gosds that are made here, go to your grocer or the place you trade, and demand those home made things, even, as some one sug- Gested, until the owner has to call policeman to get you out, if there is no other way to put it across. If persons were that determined to help homefolks. the city would be- gin to hum in a business way like small boys shining new top.

this burden and only asks co-opera- tion in seeing that the disabled vet eran is getting what he is entitled to under the war risk and vocational training acts and other methods pro- vided for his care and rehabilitation.
 Means Much to Business
 Those of the business men who are helping to train these disabled veterans have a patriotic responsibil ity toward the state and nation, and should see that the man in their shop or school is fitted for the vocation or trade that we are trying to teach him, and not try to exploit and dis courage the man. If it is honestly believed that the man cannot be trained in the shop or school, CO., operate with the bureau and the man by. bringing to the attention of the bureau this fact, in order that the man may Nbe replaced in some other vocation or trade more suited to his individual case. By this way con- structive work along the lines of re- mobilization may be accomplished, as it means much to the community, the state and nation. The present day habit of carping criticism and lack of understanding of what Is being done that exists in the community could well be turned to one of mutual help fitness, if the average business man and citizen would just analyze the figures and try to realize what the United States Veterans bureau is doing. for. the disabled men of the state, and what the suboffice of the United States Veterans bureau means to the business life of the city of Birmingham"
