Tibute 20 The Legion

lIbufe to the Legion
0CERTAINLY If any organi-
~ cation is In a position to
recognize the value of mutual
understanding between nations,
it is the American Legion" de-
clared William Mather Lewis,
president of George Washington
university, in an address on
Education for International I'm
Outstanding" made before the
National Educational associa-
ton at recent meeting of that
organization at Washington
President Mather continued:
1.-THE improved architecture in
various parts of our nation, par
ticularly in smaller communities,
bears testimony to the effect
which their stay in Europe had
upon our soldiers. Likewise,
the improved sanitary conditions
in the reconstructed districts of
France bear testimony to the
lessons learned from our troops"
In referring further to the Lee
gion, the noted savant stated:
"It seems to me that one who
would not go to the defense of
his government in its hour Of
danger has no right to enjoy its
benefits in time of peace. The
Legion has that right"

$4,000 Left of
Road Bond Issue

Governor Baxter when asked about
IO-4 Highway construction said that
the amount of State Highway con-
struction being carried on this wear
Is unusually large and the work is
proceeding satisfactorily. The State
highway Commission has under way
enough projects to practically use
up all or the States bond money for
roads. This will make it necessary
for the next Legislature to adopt a
new program. If first class highway
construction Is to continue.
There are more projects which
the Commission and the Governor
and Council would have been glad
TO have undertaken. but they felt
that the road account should not
be overdrawn," continued Governor
Baxter. The projects already ap-
proved and begun upon will take all
or the money except $3S.OOO, and
this small margin Is necessary in
case some Of the projects overrun
their estimates.
There are several projects which
the Governor and Council have not
approved for the reason that they
did not wish to commit the next ad-
ministration to them. believing it to
be fairer and better business for each
administration to handle its own
problems. In other words. If these
projects had been approved by the
Governor and Council they could
not have been undertaken this year.
because there would have been no
funds for them

By 25 Loads of Bones

Salt Lake City. Oct. 12-(By A. P.)
The worlds most unique caravan
Is what University of Utah officials
term the recent expedition to Salt
Lake City from the Jensen, Utah,
fossil quarries of 25 horse drawn
wagons loaded with the remains OF
prehistoric animals which are to be
assembled in the museum OF the In
stitution.
Millions Of years ago these mon
sters roamed the earth and, with
their addition. the university hopes
to have one OF the most complete
museums in the country.
In addition to. The complete head
OF a carnivorous dinosaur. a rarity
OF inestimabIe value. the bones ready
for shipment are those Of bronto-
saurus. ceratosaurus. stegosaurus
and diplodacus.
Plans call for each wagon to be
loaded with approximately $500
pounds Of bones and drawn by four
horses. In all the total weight Of the
bones to be transported Is estimated
at $4,000 pounds.
For some time University Of Utah
workers under the direction Of DR..
Earl Douglass OF the Carnegie Mu-
scum OF Pittsburgh, Pa. have labored
to secure the specimens. With great
industry they have chiseled the bones
from the sandstone. coated them with
concrete preparation and Grated
them.

ON VOCATIONAL
REHABILITATION
H. b. Cummings of Washing

Progress in this Important

Maine has made considerable pro-
gress in civilian rehabilitation during

tho report OF IL. u. Cummings OK
Washington. d. c., agent Of the fed
eral board OF vocational rehabilitation.
who was at the State House on Satur-
day in conference with Leroy NJ. koonz,
state supervisor OF the work.
Maine's report for the past fiscal
year shows that rehabilitation was
completed In Is cases and there are
now about rs cases In the process Of
rehabilitation.
There were only three states doing
the work when the federal government
started on tho project Juno 2. 1920.
Since that date about 10000 citizens
have been made self-supporting under
the plan which has been adopted by
every state except IL In the country.
During the past fiscal year rehabilita-
ton was completed in about 5000 cases
in those states.
Mr.. Cummings asserts that next jan
uary tho legislatures will meet in IL OF
the IL non-cooperating states and Il Is
hoped that a number Of them will be
brought into the movement. Tho nom
cooperating states are Vermont, New
Hampshire. Connecticut, Delaware.
Maryland, South Carolina. Florida. Ok
Iahoma. Texas Washington. Kansas
and Colorado. Three OF the states
which may be brought into tho project
are Connecticut. New Hampshire and
Vermont.
Before any state gets federal money
for the work the act must he passed
by It's legislature and the state must
make an appropriation. The PROPOSE
tion Is wholly voluntary with the
states. The law applies to men or
women. white or colored. OF working
age. The federal government Will
match the money appropriated by the
states. the belief being emphasized
that It is much better to bring back
health to the incapacttated citizens
than to let them beg In the streets.

citizens rather than take care of them

Each state has a supervisor or 4 SUI
pervising staff In charge OF the pro-
icct. Names efficient director Is L.

employ whole staff to look after the
work. Pennsylvania. for instance. has
