Men and women are only grown

have are much the same as those
experienced by an infant. The only
practical difference Is that older
persons have gained strength and.

The Once Over
The vACATIONISTS' RELIEF FUND
BY II. Z. PHILLIPS

Have YOU helped yet? Have you done your bit to-
ward the great humane work OF rescuing people from
their summer vacations? Are you the sort Of person
who can remain unconcernedly in a city home while
thousands Of your fellow beings undergo all the SUI

vacationists are now being rescued and brought
home at the rate of 300 a day. weather permitting, but
unless the fund is materially increased at once many
poor victims of summer resort literature will be COM
PEELED to stick out their vacations to the bitter emo.
Pathetic letters are coming in daily. all OF which pro-
claim that the food is getting worse. the bathing
places more and more c~ongested and the summer ho-

dozen. transport them to their homes and provide
them with enough medicine to get over the vacation.
Most vacationists recover rapidly with a little low

a vacationist will be almost fully recovered when a
mere mention Of hot dogs. ice cream cones, clam
chowder. soft-shelled crabs. red ants, flies or souvenir
postal cards will cause a relapse. For that reason a
little money is necessary to look after vacationists
after their return.

WORK PROBLEMS
Veterans Commander Seeks
to Solve Employment
Difficulties.

Plans for solving the employment
problems OF disabled World War
Veterans in the District Of Columbia
are being worked out BY e. Claude
Babcock, newly elected commander Of
the District Of Columbia Department Of
the Disabled American Veterans Of the
World War, according to an announce
ment from the department headquarters
last night.
Not only will the department seek
employment for veterans who are out
Of work, 1t was announced, but 1t will
endeavor to improve the condition Of
those already employed.
Survey Is Being Conducted.
Under the direction of Comdr. Bah
cock, a survey of the employment Situa-
ton among disabled men In the Dis
trict Is being conducted to obtain the
names of men who need employment.
or assistance in lettering themselves in
their present positions.
QueSttonnaires are being circulated
among members Of the Disabled Amer
lean Veterans of the World War. These
men, Comdr. Babcock announced will
be served first.
Later, and as possibilities of the
situation develop" the announcement
continued, "all disabled men in the Dis
trict, whether members of the organiza-
ton or not, will be given every possible
assistance, both through Intervention
with Federal employment agencies and
with private employers, toward getting
satisfactory and remunerative employ
ment!P
Two types of service to war veterans
now are being rendered by the District
Department Of the disabled veterans
organization, it was explained. Earl G.
Hendrick, liaiSon oficer, is detailed to
assist all ex-service men in obtaining
their rights under the terms of the
various Federal acts administered by
the Veterans Bureau.
Veterans Do Not Want CHARITY"
Development of the plan for main
tanning the disabled veteran in satisfac-
tory employment is In line with the
theory that the best method If rehabili-
tating a disabled man is to make 1t
possible for him to maintain himself.
THE disabled American veteran most
emphatically does not want charity"
Comdr. Babcock said. He wants to
feel that he is still a part of the coun-
try that he helped to maintain, and
asks only that he be given chance to
do work for which he Is suited"

SUB DISASTER AIDS
ARMS CURB MOVES
British Government Uses Sea
Tragedy to Show Sincerity
of Peace Desires.
BY JOSEPH b. PHILLIPS.

By Radio to The Star.
LONDON, July 13.-The tragedy OF
the sea has Afforded means for the
British Labor government to demon
strate the sincerity Of its desire to re-
duce navy armament in the interest
of world peace. The collision Of the
submarines EAT and Liz, with loss
of % men, has so vividly brought sea
questions home to the public that the
government has chosen the moment to
make known that the building Of six
new submarines In the years naval pro-
gram in all probability will be aban-
doned.
Would Abolish Submarine.
Led by q Labor member Of Parlia-
ment competent to speak on the sub
ject-Comdr. Kenworthy-a consider
able campaign also Is started in the
British press for the adjustment Of the
submarine as an implement Of warfare.
1t is one subject which England and
America have been technically In ac-
cord since the Washington naval con-
ference, and which the casualty lists
of the two countries should tend TO
draw in closer harmony.
The British list OF submarine
casualties Is perhaps even more APPALLING
than that Of the United States. The
sinking Of the Hat was the sixteenth
major catastrophe for submarines IN
the past rs years. They have claimed
323 lives. And, whereas inventions OF
science have leSSened the casualties in
aviation and other branches Of the
armed service, the toll Of submarines
has increased. -.....
Six British submarine disasters since
1921 have taken 223 lives. The spec
taele of the past few days brought
the significance Of these figures near
the public Since the HAT sank in
SIS fathoms in the Irish Sea, Is of the
navy's best equipped vessels have how
cred about the spot. unable even to
make an attempt at the task OF salvage.
Rescue Problems Driven Home.
The simple truth. the public is forced
to conclude, is that neither the British
nor any navy would be able TO cope
in such depths with the peculiarly rapid
disaster to which submarines are sub
ject. The funeral procession which
the new battleship Rodney led over
the grave of the HAT, was evidence
that neither the recent extensive div
ing experiments of the British navy,
the late tragic lessons learned from
America, nor the latest German per-
fections in diving equipment could cope
with realities. When the time comes
for the naval conference which Premier
Macdonald and Dawes have paved the
way for England, like the United
States, will be ready TO produce EVIL
dence in favor Of restriction Of ut least
this form of naval armament.

his act the following Sunday. Why
