Are You Be-
coming Blase

Ironwood Times: The other day
we happened to be passing through
large city and had occasion to ask
the ticket agent for some informa-
ton. Through long practice that i'm
fishy eye and petrified face.
In response to my question he re-
piled in slow measured monotone
that the train departed for Chicago at
$3.50, that the fare was four-twenty-
one. We asked him a few more fool
questions just to keep up our nerve.
You see we had been marooned at
home for several months and were
just a little bit lonesome for our old
cronies, Bill, Jack and Tom.
Now the point of the matter was
this, the agent had given out that
information so many times that it
was old stuff for him and at the same
time he had forgotten that it was de-
cidedly fresh and interesting in
formation for us.
Much of the work that each of us
has to do is largely routine and un-
less we put ourselves in the other
fellows position once in while we
are in danger of becoming as unemo-
tional in our relations with our pa
irons as a road sign.
1t your customers are trading at
the new store, if your patients are
seeking treatment from another prac-
titioner, do not go around Grabbing
about it. just retank your soul with
the milk of human kindness.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS OK. FORGET -ME-NOT" DAY
Many. Governors Will Issue Procla- nations in Behalf of Disabled
 War Veterans

Disabled American Veterans of the World War have received ad- | vices from National Commander Frank J. Irwin of the wounded and disabled veterans national organiza- ] tion, that governors of practically every state in the United States have readily agreed to issue proclama- tions. endorsing Forget Me Not Day." and calling upon the citizenry of their respective states to support the nationwide movement in the in- terests of the nations disabled veterans,on Saturday, November 8. In those states where a procIama- ton will not be issued, it is expected that an official message or state ment will be made public by the governor on the eve of "Forget-Me- Not Day" National and state leaders throughout the country have rendered offers of hearty co-opera- tion for the success of Forget Not Day." which will be observed in this city, and several hundred other communities in the country, to aid the nations wounded and dis abled veterans in legislative, re- mobilization, disqualification and re- lief matters.
 Little forget-me-not flowers, made of cloth or other materials, by corps of disabled veterans, girls and women workers, and others! offering their services to assist the wounded world war veterans, are to be sold on the streets and In buildings and public places. Pretty girls and prominent women of the community will distribute the forget-me-n -nots, working in teams and companies under the direction of iheir leaders and captains throughout the city.
 The entire proceeds of the days activities will go towards the relief and welfare of the disabled Ameri- can veterans, and in assisting them in their ambitions to once more be- come useful, self reliant citizens of the nation for which they made many great sacrifices.

VARIOUS TOPICS
 BEING TAKEN'UP Chambers Of Commerce Meet in Washington

Washington. Oct 2s.--A wide range of topics. including domestic and international problems and an address tonight by President Cool idge, held the attention of delegates who came here today from eleven states to attend the second mid year meeting of the eastern division of the chamber of commerce of the United States.
 The president has prepared his address with view to making 1t his last extended pronouncement before the election, and the crowded two- day program of the meeting calls for discussion of economic questions by number of leaders and the dele gates generally.
 Consideration of European prob- lems, with particular attention to the effects of the Dawes plan, was given special place on today's program at a luncheon-meeting of the American section of the international chamber of commerce, with Willis H. Booth, of New York, president of that or ganization, the principal speaker, A. c. Bedford of New York, as chair man of the special meeting, also had a cablegram from Owen D. Young. who helped frame the Dawes plan and acted as temporary agent general of reparations prior to the permanent appointment to that post s. Parker Gilbert, Jr., outlining the progress of It's operation.
 "The ease with which the ma chinery under the Dawes plan has been installed" said MT. Young, "and the smoothness of its opera ton during the past six weeks in the hest testimony of the existence of new spirit determined to restore tranquility in western Europe. In advance of any assurance of loan, Germany has paid in the last six weeks more than $30,000, ,000, most of which in one way or other has been distributed to the creditor countries. ,,#
 Now that the, loan is completed and the proceeds, put under the control of the agent general, practi- cally all Of the funds are in hand for the first years operation of the Dawes plan. Nothing could be more helpful to the restoration of con- fidence and hope to the discouraged people of Europe than the magnifi- cent expression of confidence by the American people as shown in their over subscription of the German loan"
 MT. Booth, who recently returned from Europe, expressed the opinion in his prepared address that three major problems must be solved if complete rehabilitation is to be brought about.
 These, he set forth, include deter imitation, of the aggregate amount of German payments for separations; & consideration of the debts from one European country to another in their relation to such reparation payments, into which, later. when & proper foundation is laid, he thought the debt. of these countries to the United States will have to enter, and the transfer of obligations of Ger many to the credit of creditor na- tions under separations in the form of currency designated by the lat- ter.
 The work of rehabilitation, Mir. Booth asserted, has only begun with the adoption of the Dawes plan, and because interests of the United States must be prepared to face continually increasing responsibili- ties as the structure rises from this foundation.

ID REVIEW CLAIMS
 BY WOUNDED VETS
$500 Ey-Fiehtels in This State
 Affected by Ruling
BY GEORGE H. MANNING. twasbinston Bureau of Y. D. Hsrald)

twasblnston Bureau of N. D. Hsrald)
 Washington, D. C.. Oct. 2s.--Hopc is held out to about $500 Connecti- cut veterans of the world war by the Disabled American Veterans na- tional organization that tho U. 8. Veterans bureau will play Santa Claus to them.
 Several thousand veterans scat tered all over Connecticut who were maimed or had their health im- paired while in the service are af- fected by the agreement reached by Director Frank T. Hines, of the Vet erans' bureau, and Frank J. Erwin, of New York, national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, whereby an exhaustive review of more than half a million disallowed claims of former service men is to be made.
 The gigantic task of reopenlng so many cases has, in fact. already been started and a thorough eSam- ination of the files of the bureau has been begun, at the suggestion of Commander Irwin, to revise the rat ings of all men who should come within the benefits of the Reed Johnson bill passed by congress last June which, liberallzed the regula- tions governing the operation of the Veterans Bureau.
 Commander Irwin, at conference he had with Director Hines, pointed out many veterans whose claims were rejected before the bill was passed were unfamiliar with it's pro- visions. and an educational campaign is to be undertaken 80 all veterans having just claims against the gov- ernment may take whatever steps may be necessary under the new law to insure their getting what is coming to them.
 Inefficiency Under Forbes
 Commander Irwin said there were undoubtedly cases which had been permitted to remain dormant by the claimants either because the latter had become discouraged by enforced delays or some other fault in the administration of the Veterans Bu- reau in the days when Charles R. Forbes was director. There were many other cases, he added, which would be shown to be not only meritorious, but to have been disal- lowed, although the claimants were entitled to either compensation or
New Britain herald., 1924-10-23

hospitalization.
 It was to determine once and for |all, Commander Irwin further ex- plained to Director Hines. how many disabled or sick veterans whose Iclaims were rejected really had a just kick coming. that he asked for the sweeping review the director agreed should be made as speedily and carefully as possible. The review is the first of series of reforms in the administration of disabled veterans cases Commander
 Irwin's organization is seeking to bring about, it was stated further. The review will reach into every section of the country, and tho total of cases already selected iL the dif- ferent district offices for careful in- quiry, as announced today, follows: Philadelphia (third district embrac- Ing Pennsylvania and Delaware 1s.sl5; New York city (second dis trict embracing New York. New Jer- sey and Connecticut) 27,6S9: Cin- cinnati, 2i.S75; Boston, 17,906; Washington, l7,S19: Atlanta, 31,514: New Orleans. 21,657: Chicago, 27,- s9S; St. Louis, 2C.073; Minneapolis. l3,G79; Denver, 7,252; San Francis co, s,s11; Seattle, S.s03; and Dallas, 19.104.
 Tn addition there are total of 266,211 disallowed cases pending in the central office of the Veterans Bureau here which it is also planned to reopen. Many of them are believ- ed to involva Connecticut veterans, too. Many weeks may be consumed before the last of them is disposed of finally, but both Director Hines and Commander Irwin agreed the task undertaken would be well worth while, no matter how long or difficult, if the veterans got their just deserts.
