EDUCATION PAYS IN
COLLARS AND CENTS
REHABILITATION PROVES

Notwithstanding casualties of
industry are as great as those of
war;" says ]. A. Kratz, director of
the rehabilitation service for the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation. EVERY six minutes a fatal
accident takes place in the United
States. Annually there are 100000
non-fatal accidents. From all causes
225,000 persons become permanently
disabled"
1t is the work of the rehabilitation
service under Mr.. Kratz to prepare
these persons for productive lives.
Some of them have never worked be-
cause of Affections from birth.
Others have become disabled through
disease and are no longer able to
pursue their vocation.
Mr.. Kratz estimates that industrial
accidents alone cause workers an an
nual loss of more than billion dol
lars. In addition to the individual
loss there is a general one, since
many of these dependent persons
have to be supported at an annual
state expense of from $500 to $500
per person.
Increases Earning Power
The cost of educating the disabled
to a point where they can recover
their earning power is only about
$3.50 a year. After the rehabilitation
training many of them earn more
than they earned before they were
disabled.
In a southern state in one year the
average weekly wage of rehabilit-
tated persons was $21.75. At the
time of disablement the average
weekly earnings were only 1921.
This small amount was due to the
fact that 3S per cent of those taking
advantage of the service had never
worked. Those who had been able
to work previous to rehabilitation
earned SILL a week. Thus the
training they received increased their
earning power by four dollars
week.
Perhaps no greater proof Of the
economic value of education has
ever been pointed out than is evident
in the analysis, over period Of five
years, of the financial sheet of the
rehabilitation service in state in
the middle west in which the total
gross earnings of 1,O36 Of the stu
dents before rehabilitation were
$499, 900, and after rehabilitation ST.

EDUCATION WEEK
OBSERVED NOV. lily

Washington.-The ninth annual
observance of American Education
Week will be held November ILL
under the joint sponsorship of the
National Education Association and
the American Legion.
The purpose of the American Edu-
cation Week celebration is to keep
before the public the aims, needs, and
achievements of the schools. The
theme of the program this year, built
around the relationship of the home
and the school, emphasizes the con-
tributions of education to worthy
home membership.
The American Legion deserves
much credit for initiating American
Education Week. The members of
the Legion, like the members of the
National Education Association, were
so struck by the great amount of IL
literacy among the men who an
swered the draft of the World War,
and still more by the large number
who were handicapped by serious
physical defects, that they planned
to encourage an educational system
which would more effectively elimi-
nate these deficiencies. Early in its
organization the Legion provided an
Americanism Commission to concern
itself with the education Of the for
eign born and to do away with il
literacy.
For eight years these two organi-
cations have jointly sponsored a
seven-day program during the week
which includes Armistice Day. This
week was chosen to emphasize the
part education plays in the attain
ment of world understanding and
goodwill. Secretaries of other ma
tionally organized societies in thou
sands of American communities CO.
operate each year in carrying out
program intended to bring the pub
lie and the school in closer relation

$4,000. 1t cost an average of $242.-
81 a person to bring about this in
creased earning power.
The work of examining and pro-
viding for the schooling in the prop
er trade schools, public schools, or
in practical training on the job is
undertaken by more than 1876 reha-
Utilization workers, who operate I'M
der the State Board for Vocational
Education in the states where they
are employed. The work is offered
to both men and women. The loca-
ton in which training is given de-
ponds upon the needs and capacities
of the disabled persons.

In this mechanical age, we have
come to appreciate the value of Pc
riodic inspections. The makers of
our automobiles offer us a periodic
check up on our cars. Aviators in
sist on careful survey of'the condi-
ton of their planes and engines be-
fore attempting flights. Oil burners,
radios, ice machines and innumer-
able other household appliances last
much longer when they are careful
ly examined from time to time, and
corrections made before serious
trouble appears. This is called
service.
Many persons do not consider that
the human machine (their bodies),
need periodic inspections; but physi-
clans have learned that years of use
full, productive and enjoyable living
can be added to the span of life by
careful, systematic( accurate and in
telligent observation and advice.
There are definite periods of life
when the human machine undergoes
great stress and strain and may de-
velop serious weakness. Infancy,
clECg anu OA0 ctEC Oil
carry their dangers. To women,
middle age brings many changes
that should be watched carefully.
Between the ages of forty-five and
fifty years, woman's ability to re-
produce ceases, and with this numer-'
Gus changes take place in the body.
Weakness left by collaborating,
damage to delicate tissues, and
changes caused by chronic infections
menace a woman's health at this
time.
By periodic examinations during
the menopause, defects can be found
and corrected. Often trivial condi-
tions may become extremely serious
if neglected, and only by examina-
lions can these condition be detect
ed. Irregular and abnormal dis
charges are definite danger signs,
but every woman, regardless Of how
well she seems should be examined
during this period. By SO doing
thousands will be saved from ma
lignant diseases and many thousands
more will be put into condition to
enjoy their families and a healthy
old age. Hundreds Of well trained
physicians stand ready to give this
preventive service. But their abil-
ity and desire to serve are useless If
women fail to demand for their
bodies the service they insist upon
for their electric irons.
Forty-one states now place severe
restrictions on roadside advertising

GREAT TURF ARRAY
IN $4,000 STAKE
Victor in Big Race May Earn
3-Year-0Id Title for
1929 Season.

BY the Associated Press.
HICAGO, July 1.-THE richest
event of the 1929 racing season,
~ the American classic at Airing
ton Park, will be decided to-
morrow.
The prizes for the winner probably
will be the 3-year-old championship
of the season, and 100000 in added
money-with the greatest field that has
lined-up this year ready to go to the
post for the mile and a quarter test.
Rain yesterday promised a heavy
track at best, but there were no indi-
cations that any of the outstanding
thoroughbredS would be scratched for
that reason. Col. z. r. Bradley, owner
of Blue Larkspur the fayorite, said the
winner of the Withers and Belmont
stakes would start on any kind of a
track. Supporters of Clyde Van Dusen
winner of the Kentucky Derby, were
cheered at the prospect OF heavy or
even muddy strip, for it was in the
mud and rain the son of Man o War
ION the Kentucky event.
Windy City, which won the American
Derby in the rain. also was ready for
any kind Of going.
Preparations were being made to ham
die a crowd of $4,000 or more, the
advance sale of seats indicating the
crowd would be the largest of the
Chicago season. The tracks day of DAYS
will start with a luncheon tomorrow
noon. at which Vice President Curtis,
Gov. Emmerson and Lieut.. Gov. Sterling
will be guests of the American National

ter than for me to get the bulge by
whipping him this time.
Among the things I've been working
on here is perfecting my defense
against a right-hand wallop. Some
folks may think me overconfident. I'm
not. 1t isn't my intention to let jim

too much dynamite in that right fist

and the punishment.
Incidentally, as golf has become one
of the assets of a boxer, I'll have to
admit that my game is improving
Though the course at Hoosick Falls is
not q difflcult one, as there are no
traps or water, it Is hard to score on
because the green's are small and slope
away from a second shot.
From my point of view the advantage
lies in the fact that 1t is very billy.
Eighteen holes over that layout are a
good test for legs and lungs. II you
hurry along between shots you get the
advantage Of several miles of fairly
strenuous road work.

check to pose for its photograph when
he has certified check.
Also the professional athlete has
his independence. He can compete
when and where he pleases. The
athletes who submit to the petty
tyranny of the A. A. u. cannot.
There was the case of the girl swim
mers of the Women's Swimming AS
ISOLATION who went to England to
enter into competition for which
they were receiving no money. The
A. A. u. ruled that II they competed
they would be barred from partici-
patton in the Olympic games. The
A. A. u. reserved the right to make
their bookings for them.
The A. A. u. annoyed DR.. PeltZer. the
German runner, by arbitrarily select
ing his meets for him. There was some
thing a bit sinister about this. some
thing that is in line with the allegations
made by Barbuti, the same allegations
which the A. A. u. has been evading
all year. Now it seems that the price
of Barbutis restoration to the sort
of amateurism fostered by the A. A. U.
is a guarantee of silence.
Apparently it might be blow to
the amateur athletic racket II the A.
A. U. were forced to follow through on
the charges.

SEES JULY IS FOE
AS COMING HEAVY
Thinks That He Will Become
Contender in Top Class
in Another Year.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,

Light-HeavyweiEht Champion OF the World.
Y OOSICK FALLS. N. Y, July
IL 12.-My training up here has
been perfectly satisfactory so
l. i far. I have never been more
pleased with my work. OF
course. there are still some pounds to
get of, and that is always bOthersome.
The job is getting harder all the time,
but when l go into the ring July ID
against Braddock l am convinced
will have enough strength and speed to
retain my title.
You know a man gets the feel of
himself when preparing for a fight in
much the same manner that a golfer
gets that Wanted touch" when he Is
IN tight match. In boxing with the
boys up here-and l have good strong
partners-I have that touch. I'm hit
ting straight for the target. I feel
right.
What a difference the last time de-
Tended my championship last month in
Chicago against Mickey Walker! I was
suffering from a cold and partly con-
gested lungs. and when the bell sounded
1 felt Ike anything but fighting man.
This match with Braddock means
more TO me than any I've ever had
In the first place, I'll be playing to my
biggest gate. In the second, II beat
the great Jersey Slugger no one can
deny that have cleaned up the light
heavyweight field. No one can deny
my right to be in the thick of the
struggle for the title Gene Tunney left
vacant.

called. won't help a competitor whose
nervous system Is shot to pieces.
The Mental Side
IN both foot ball and golf the chief
pressure comes from the mental
side, or the side of nerves. Foot ball
also has its heavy physical pressure, but
this won't do the damage that wrecked
nerves will bring about through two or
three hard games.
There is no great physical pressure
in golf But the nerve strain. which
often starts at 10 in the morning and
lasts until S in the afternoon, can wear
any one down if overdone.
Knute Rockne could slip through
killing schedule two or three years
ago because he had 30 or IS good
foot ball players to call on, shock
troops who could let his stars rest
big part Of the game. Last year he
had no such reserves and the result
was badly worn outfit by the end
OF the season.
AL Espinosa was far better golfer
than he looked to be through the play
off. But Espinoza had started hard
campaign back in Midwinter and he
was still in the midst of heavy COM
petition all through May. He was close
to keen edge when the championship
started and this edge was beginning to
wear away down the stretch. He showed
that when he took an 8 on the twelfth
hole in the final round. not so much
that he took an 8, but the way he got
it. His recovery and his final squirt.
where he finished the last six holes 2
under par. just about removed all the
nerve reserve that he had left He had
no keenness in his system to face the
pressure which Jones applied after the
third hole, where he started on march
of pars and brides, where 1t looked as
II he would never miss another shot.

this would give Loughran an edge, as

Braddock is a first-class prospect.
In addition to his punching he has a
