The Leather Profiteer. At the Players' club in Gramercy park they were swapping profiteer stories. Butler Glaenzer, a critic and collector, said: . ' "1 recently helped a leather profiteerscall him Peter Sweeney JohnBon to choose a library for his new Fifth avenue house. "Among our lucky finds was a famous old English dictionary. The hook was In bad condition, so we sent It off to be rebound. "Well, when It came back, gorgeously done In green morocco and gold, the leather profiteer flew Into a rage. He pointed to the title 'Johneon's Dictionary,' on the back, and yelled : " 'Why didn't they use the full name Peter Sweeney Johnson's Dictionary?" New York Times. A Littla Cliff Dweller. Four-and-a-half-year-old Marshall, who Is acquiring a reputation for his childish repartee, added new laurels to his honois at a Christmas dinner. Ills young Interest was centered for a time listening to the grown folk asking conundrums and guessing as to the proper answers. Childish repression finally burst the bonds when one of the older guests put this undent query: "When Is a door not a door7" Instantly came Marshall's retort: "When It's a in-n-door bed 1"

Smart Boy. "That boy seems to be -the most popular caddie around the club. Everybody wants to take him out." "i'es. - "Is he a better caddie than the others? "I don't think so. He's Just the best diplomat we have around here.' "A diplomat. I don't get you." "It'et this way. The artful little chap Is wise to the game and every time the man he is caddylng for makes a poor shot the boy looks sad and apologizes to him for , having coughed or moved. That gives the player un excuse for losing the hole and keeps the boy solid in his Job."

Double Rations. The time had come to dole out the day's rations, and in an Irish regiment the quartermaster and his assistant were portioning them out In prcpara tlon for distribution. At last, Just before the orderly men were due to arrive, the assistant turned to the quarter. With a twinkle In his eye, Mike said : "Av ye plaze, sorr, there's a loaf short. Who'll I give it to?" "Keep It yourself, Mike," ueplled the quartermaster.

IN PLEA FOR NEGLECTED MEN

John Thomas Taylor.

Three Thousand Veteran From Legion Ranks Are Explaining Situation to American People. ' Three thousand volunteer speakers from the ranks of the American L'eelon In every

state are now carrying by word-of-mouth to the American people the Legion's story of the "suffering, shameful neglect aDd Injustice" In Uie government's administration of the nation's debt to the disabled, which was contained In the formal memorial which the Legion

has presented to President Wilson, President-elect Harding, and to all members of congress. Probably never before in the history of the country has such an army of orators been mobilized to speak at the same time upon a single text. The Legion aims to present to the people of the United States the facts regarding the disabled in the same language as they were presented to the officials of the government. The Legion's memorial wag carried to the President at the White House by John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the Legion National Legislative committee. National Commander F. W. Galbralth, Jr., gave it to Senator Ilarding at Marion, where he had a long and Important conference on the disabled situation with the next President The Legion denounces the present method of caring for the disabled as a "failure" which only can be remedied by the entire reconstruction of the federal machinery dealing with the problem. The functions of the three agencies, which deal with the problems of the disabled, the bureau of war risk insurance, the federal board for vocational education, and the United States public health service, "must be co-ordinated, their machinery decentralized and - all three placed under common control," the memorial states. As an equally essential remedy for .existing conditions, the., memorial urges the Immediate appropriation for the use of the unified organization of a sum ample to build or rent a sufficient number of hospitals to take fare of the 10,000 ex-service men who are unable to ' receive treatment at present because of lack of beds and shelter. The "failure" of the government to afford Justice to the sick and wounded veterans Is attributed by the Legion to "an astonishing state of divided responsibility and wusted effort among the government agencies with which the problem rests." The break in the chain of responsibility occurs, according to the memorial, as a remalt of the fact that the war risk bureau Is under end responsible to an

assistant secretary of the treasury, an officer of the executive branch of the government, while the federal board for vocational education is responsible only to congress, and Is under none of the executive departments of the government. The memorial

asserts that the United States has been more liberal than any other nation In its provisions for the disabled soldiers, but that it has failed in large measure to make these provisions available In spite of the benefit of the experience of other nations in the recent war and the experience of this nation In previous wars. "In the re-habilltatlon of a disabled man there are three needs-Smedlcal treatment, vocational training and financial support," the memorial states. "The government has recognized the three needs, but overlooks the fact that they are the simultaneous needs of one man, not of three different men or of one man at three different times. It makes three problems out of what really Is one problem. 'Continuing this faulty conception, It has given the problem over to three agencies. All, by force of circumstances, are exercising functions they were not Intended to exercise. This presents an amazing spectacle of administrative chaos, duplication, wasted energy and conflict, which Is the key to the present condition. "The result is the suffering of the disabled veterans. Thousands are waiting and have waited for months for compensation for their Injuries. Thousands have waited for months for an opportunity to re-establlh themselves as self-sustaining members of society by .vocational training. Thousands are in need of hospitalization and the government has no hospital facilities available for them. Of

frs:(if - i M

F. W. Galbraith, Jr.

the 20,000 now in hospitals, 4,500 are quartered In institutions unsuited to the needs of the men quartered there. New hospital cases are developing at the rate of 1,500 a month In excess of the number " discharged. Sixteen thousand beds are needed now. Hundreds of veterans are the object of public and private charity. Afflicted and penniless veterans have been driven to refuge In almshouses and Jails. Many have died, and if Immediate relief is not forthcoming, more will die destitute, without proper medical care, without compensation with which to obtain It, abandoned by the country they served. All this is attributable directly to the manner in which the government has administered the affairs of the disabled. "The bureau of war risk Insurance is responsible for the payment of compensation and for medical and hospital care of the man. Logically, this would involve establishing contact with the men at the time of their discharge from the military or naval service. It should then determine the exigence and degree of disability and compensation on this basis.. "Due to the centralization of the bureau's forces in Washington, It Is practically Impossible under the present law to establish contact with the man entitled to these benefits. The disabled man is placed in the position

of a man Injured In industry who'

must sue the company. He must carry on an Involved and technical correspondence. 'It Is usually months after he is dropped from the pay rolls of the army or navy before he is taken upon the pay roll of the bureau, .even though his service discharge shows a definite degree of disability. On November 2G, 1920, 83,000 cases were pending, In the bureau awaiting definite adjustment of compensation. Thousands are suffering and many have died as a result of this neglect "The federal board for vocational training will accept the evidence -of the bureau's medical files granting compensation as proof that a man Is entitled to vocational training. - The bureau, however, will not accept the evidence that the board has awarded training as proof that a man Is entitled to compensation. "If the veteran is receiving compensation and wants training, usually he must take another physical examination, ndmlnlstered by the board to determine whether the claimant has a vocational handicap entitling him to training pa', or merely u compensable disability granting him training only. If the veteran is not receiving compensation, due to delay by the bureau, he must be examined by the board, to determine his eligibility for training, as well. "When a man enters training with training pay, his compensation stops and he is shifted from the pay roll of the bureau to the pay roll of the board. The board, which was created as a training agency only, has became a compensating agencyas well. Many men have been kept on the pay roll of the board, not as a training measure solely, but as a measure of finuncial relief which they were entitled to, but unable to obtain from the bureau. "When a man Is dropped from training he is supposed to be dropped from the pay roll of the board and taken up by the bureau. On both shifts there is delay. . The average length of time for a man to be dropped from the bureau pay roll and taken up on the board pay roll Is about three weeks. The average time required for the second shift back to the bureau pay roll Is two months. No provision is made for the man's maintenance during these interims. In the majority of cases a man must undergo a new physical examination before the bureau will again pay him compensator In other words, he must again prove his claim. "The position of the United States public health service is peculiar. It took Its place In the re-habllltatlon scheme poorly equipped for the work it was to perform, but was apparently the best medical' governmental agency then available. It acts as an agent both of the bureau and the board, but Is responsible to no authority common to both board and bureau, because there is no such authority. "In view of this condition the remarkable thing about the present rehabllltatlon program Is that it has accomplished what little it has. Such progress as has been made is a tribute to the sincerity of the men in the bureau, the board and the public health service who generally have made the best of an impossible situation. "The best of this impossible situation,, however, has been insufficient always. This Is particularly true regarding hospitalization. "Of the 20,000 men now in hospitals, 4,500 are in institutions which are unfit because suitable hospital facilities are not available." The Legion avers that 10,000 beds are needed at once. Of this number, 1,500 are necessary for transfer of tubercular patients from present unsatisfactory hospitals, and 3,000 for transfer of neuro-psychlatric patients from the inadequate lodgings which they occupy now. The number of tubercular cases in need of immediate hospitalization Is estimated to be 0,500 and the neuro-psychlatric cases at 5,000. Beds are also required for about 000 general, medical and surgical cases. The statistics above are based on statements from the following sources: Public health service, Dr. Thomas W. Salmon of New York, medical director national committee for mental hygiene ; bureau of war risk insurance. Dr. T. Victor Keene of Indianapolis, member, American Legion hospitalization committee.

The following remarkable endorsement of Tanlac was given recently by Mrs." Alice Gresham Dodd, at the Gresham Memorial Home, Gavin Park, Evansville, Ind which home was pre

sented to her by the patriotic people of Indiana, as evidence of their appreciation of the services rendered to his country by her son. Corporal James B. Gresham, tfie first American soldier killed In France. Expressions of sympathy were received by Mrs. Dodd from all parts of the United States, and the newspapers of the country carried the story of the first "war mother." The shock of her son's death resulted in the serious breakdown of Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will learn with Interest and pleasure that she is now In' splendid health again. When seen at her home recently she made the following statement, giving the entire credit for her recovery to the well-known medicine, Tanlac. "After my dear boy's death I had a general breakdown in health," said Mrs. Dodd. "At first It was just indigestion. My food used to upset me and I had to diet myself very carefully, which wasn't much hardship, as I lost all desire to eat. Then I had an attack of rheumatism, with severe pains In my shoulders, back and arms. Sometimes I used to suffer a great deal, and my Joints would get all swollen up and stiff.. I was able to do very little about the house, and at times couldn't even cook a meal. I got very nervous and restless, and at night would lay awake for hours, and lost many a night's sleep as a consequence. A friend of mine had received a great deal of help from Tanlac, and It was she who advised me to try it. I am so glad I did for it proved the best medicine I have ever taken. It soon gave me a good appetite and seemed to settle my stomach so that I was no longer troubled with Indigestion. I don't know what it Is to have rheumatic pains now, the swelling and stiffness has all gone out of my Joints and I am able to do the work of the house with the greatest ease. My nerves are now steady and strong. I sleep fine at night, and I feel better in health than ever before In my life. I shall always be grateful for what Tanlac has done for me, and shall recommend It every chance I get. Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Adv. Yes, We Find It That Way, Too. "It has been truly said," Baggs declared Impressively, "that the world, financially, Is divided Into Just two classes those who borrow and those who lend." "Not quite right," Bings responded gloomily. "The two classes are those who want to borrow und those who won't lend."
