VETERANS COLUMN"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. XXX

Approximately 10000 disabled
veterans now taking vocational
training will be rehabilitated and
provided with jobs by January l,
next, according to Gen. Frank T.
Hines, director of the U. S. Veter-
ans Bureau.
Since the government undertook
the task of rehabilitating disabled
ex-service men, approximately 10000
have been given training and 81
per cent of this number have been
provided with employment. There
are now about 10000 undergoing
training.
With 10000 leaving by January
/, the authorities of the u. S. Vet
Grams Bureau believe it is unneces-
sary to open any more vocational
schools. The Bureau is receiving
the commentator of all classes of
citizens for its rehabilitation work.
Only few days ago the work of
the bureau in connection with the
ex-service men was unanimously
endorsed at the annual convention
of the New York State Federation
of Labor.

WARNING TO PARENTS AND
FLIGHTY FLAPPERS


The murder of Emma Dixon, in
Milliville, the. other day is a grisly
warning to irresponsible parents and
rattle-brained girls. Emma was a
sophomore in the high school. She
spurned the friendship of the high
school boys. She preferred the
risky association of "worldly-wise
married men. and questionable
sports"
The authorities have discovered
that she had intrigues with SIX
men--two of them married and an
other engaged to be married to
respectable and well-to-do girl. On
the day she was murdered she left
high school and hurried around the
corner to waiting automobile driv-
en- by one of these men. Following
a party" with him she took
train to Port Elizabeth where she
evidently had another party"
Evidence points to the fact that
she must have been on her third
party" when she was brutally muir
dered and dragged into the bushes
beside the highway. A searching
party found her with her clothes
torn from her mutilated body, one
arm broken in two places, several
ribs broken and her skull crushed.
A pitiful end TO her Eighty career
of intrigues with sports and world
ly-wise married men!
The girl who evades her parents
oversights and brags of her numer-
Gus "men friends" deserves such
fate. But it is pitiful just the
same The parents who let their
girls run wild deserve such disgrace,
but it is tragedy just the same,

Miss 16, and the more formal one
that may be worn at 40. 1t de-
ponds lots on a persons figure and
carriage-be sure you wear your
clothes with little snap before
you choose one.
Lyons velvet, panne velvet and
hatters' plush with the ever popular
duvetyn are the leading fabrics.
There are lots of pressed felt hats
too, in shapes similar to the small
er fabric hats. That is because
they are worn for sport or business
and large hat would be out of
place. Many large hats are shown
but do remember that they are for
dress, not for everyday use.
Brown leads in color, black is a
close second and for dressy hats,
it comes in ahead.
Feather fancies lead in trim
ming. This is fortunate for the
woman who makes her own hats
as these fancies are not expensive
and but little knack is required to
find the right spot in placing them.
Broad bows are often used; and on
small hats narrow ribbons with
small bows at front, back or side
are excellent.
Sectional crowns are in evidence,
as are many small hats with wells
draped over the crowns and allowed
to fall low over the shoulder"

LAWS WON'T DO IT ALL

President Coolidge is convinced
of the folly of looking to legisla-
ton as cure for economic ills.
The people must not expect Con
gress to provide an antidote for
laziness, lack of thrift and unfor-
tunate judgment in industry or
farming. "The people cannot look
to legislation generally for success"
he said in commenting ON legislative
price-fixing. Industry, thrift, char
acter, are not conferred by act or
resolve. Government cannot re-
lieve from toll The normal must
take care of themselves; self gov
eminent means self-support." -

Of curtains, which is the most de-
sirable way of decorating small
windows. The curtains have rings
at the top edge which run on the
rod. The rod or pole might be
painted the same color as the cur
tains and the rings a contrasting
color. The curtains hang straight
and their very simplicity adds to
their charm.
An attractive color scheme for
this room should be worked out in
three colors, say soft sage green
for the color of the furniture-the
bed desk, stool and any chairs in
the room. A queer yellowish old
rose would be serviceable color
for the bedspread and curtains.
The third color could be violet or
dull gold, to be used for the cord
ing on the bed covering, for the
small pillows on the bed, for the
curtain rings or piping on the side
and bottom edge of the curtains.
The holdings on the desk could be
painted with the two secondary col
ors. The cover for the stool should
be like the spread or in the third
color, and likewise the chair seats
in the rest of the room.

A SORE THAT is NOT HEALED,
BUT COVERED WITH A SCAB

Any physician will tell you that
a running sore is not healed if it is
covered with scab and still dis
eased underneath. That seems what
affects the liquor problem under
prohibition.
The Department of Health in
New York City has recently pub
lished in it's weekly bulletin some
astonishing facts about the prohib-
ition law in that city. This report
shows that for the first six months
of this year cases Of alcoholism
treated in hospitals of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare We're more
than it had been since 1915.
The report showed that the num-
Der of cases treated during the last
seven months of the year 1919 drop
ped off noticeably. This came I'M
der prohibition) Then began a
gradual increase, which dropped dur
ing the wood alcohol and bad liquor
scare, only TO begin TO climb again
within few months. Now there
are more sufferers from alcoholism
in New York City than they have
had in eight years.
The answer is that when saloons
were first closed under prohibition
the sale of liqours almost stopped.
But the demand kept on so strong
ly that the bootleggers soon be-
came the most prosperous people
in the United States.
Prohibition is only scab on the
sore of alcoholism. The sore can
not be cured by scabbing it over.
