Red Tape Absent in Training Disabled Men There is no red tape to be unravelled in accepting disabled soldiers, sailors and marines as employes. The federal board for vocational education is placing, without training being necessary, a large number of wounded soldiers. The employer does not obligate himself in any way by taking these men on his pay roll, except to give him a square deal.' Agents of the federal board watch over the man placed, just to see that the work is suitable to his physical condition and to his capability as a workman. No reports from the employer are required. Courtesy, consideration and fairness to the man who did his share in the great struggle for humanity, is little enough to ask. The district vocational officers have a big job and the records of the 110,563 registrations, the 9181 men approved for courses and the 3478 men who have already entered training give evidence that the job is being well attended to. A number of Wayne county boys are receiving vocational retraining without expense to them. The Red Cross and the Soldier Friends committee of the Elks lodge are advising boys as to the method of receiving this training.
Spruce Up Your Plant The doughboy has come home. He's through picking Germans off the Rhine. He has discarded his khakis. With his sixty dollar bonus, he has been making a few improvements in his personal appearance. A nice new blue suit of civies, a white shirt, a gold chain and a stickpin you wouldn't recognize him as the hell-fighter of the Argonne. When he was in the army he didn't give a care about his personal appearance. He had mud three inches thick on his big cowhide army boots, and his khaki pants had become waterproof through absorption of French clay. He used to dress in a jiffy. First call, then reveille, and he was toeing the lilne. But now the Yankee doughboy has gone back to a peace basis. He's sprucing up a bit. He did not wait for prices to drop. He wants to be a "regular feller" now that his job is done. Business can take a tip from the doughboy. During the war business was dressed in khaki serviceable enough for the occasion. The emphasis was on production output, and the output was increased tremendously. Machinery was operated at full speed. There was no time to use paint and varnish. And for that matter, paint and varnish couldn't be got, they were needed for the ships of the navy. And men to do the painting and the varnishing were needed for war work. But now it's time to spruce up. Business has made its sixty-dollar bonus during the war. Let it spend it on improvements. Roofs have to be
painted. Paint them. Prices won't drop. Your
roof will drop first. Business needs a new suit of
clothes buildings have to be remodelled. Do the
work now. Machinery has to be overhauled and repaired. Do it now. If you wait your machinery will require bigger repairs later and it will cost more, much more. But just now it will help give work to these 10,000 men or more who are daily being discharged from service. Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, is looking for just your kind of job to give the ex-sol-diers and sailors who can do just that kind of job.

Until our senate ratifies the treaty and President Wilson proclaims peace the United States will be technically at war with Germany, and the trading-wit h-the-enemy act forbidding commercial intercourse still remains in force; though it is not beyond the range of possibilities that a partial resumption of trade with Germany may be permitted before the technical requirements are complied with.

son of a dtstvigruished soldier under Napoleon. -He-came from sturdy but not noble stock, his ancestors on his father's side having been simple peasants. He was well educated in France and in Spain, where his father held hifrh rank -under Napoleon's brother. He was a precocious lad, writing- Ions plays in verse and prose while hardly more than a child. Before his 21st year he had won several high prizes for his verse. But. thrown on his own resources by the death of his mother, he found it difficult to live by his pen. He moved into an attic, where he had his only experience of actual poverty. His writings, however, soon became popular and he was able to marry, at the aere of 21. Adele Foucher, his playmate of childhood dayst It was a happy marriage for 10 years.

About the time of the French revolution, Jean Valjean of La Brie, a day-
laborer, earned a scanty living for his sister and her seven children. One time, when the family was starving, he stole a loaf of bread, was caught and condemned to the galleys for five years. Twice he attempted to escape and failed. He was a convict for 19 years. When he was discharged in 1815 he -was wicked, silent.

Refused shelter or food at tavern or
private house, he came to Monslgneur Myriel, Bishop of D , In the foothills of the Alps. He was treated like a prince; but in the night he stole some of the bishop's silver plate, was caught as he made off and was brought back to the good bishop, who, with a smile, assured the gendarmes that the articles were not stolen but given. Adding two silver candlesticks, the bishop said to him: "Take them and become an honest man. My brother, you no longer belong to evil, but to good I have bought your soul of you. I give it to God." As he fled, he yielded to one last temptation to do wrong; he took from a hurdy-gurdy boy a two-franc piece, but almost immediately, filled with remorse, he tried in vain to find the boy. Two years later a stranger, dressed like a working-man, arrived at the little city of M sur M . Just as he arrived a fire broke out in the Town Hall and he rescued two children belonging to the captain of the police. This saved him from having to show his passport. He made an invention and Boon became prosperous. He built great workshops, endowed a hospital, founded schools, paid high wages and was made mayor. Employed in his factory was Fantine, a girl who had been deserted in Paris by an unworthy lover. She had left her baby Cosette, with a crafty and hideous pair named Thenadier. When it was learned that she had an illegitimate child, she was discharged without the knowledge of M. Madeleine, the benevolent manufacturer, and was reduced to such poverty that she could not pay the Thenadiers, who took Cosette's clothes for their own girls and wrote Fantine for more. The girl sold her beautiful blonde hair;
then they informed her that Cosette i was ill, which was a lie, and demand-1

To obtain this she sold her front teeth to a traveling dentist; then she went on the town, and when a dissolute dandy, to annoy her, put snow down her back, she scratched his face and was arrested by Javert, inspector of police, a brutal and over-officious tyrant, who had been attached to the galleys when Jean Valjean was there and suspected the mayor of M of being the former convict. The mayor freed Fantine. She supposed he was ' the

Anna Howard Shaw
From the New York Times. THERE passed away on Wednesday a genuine American, with all the qualities which in fiction collect about that name, but which are not so often seen in real life; an American with the measureless patience, the deep and gentle humor, the whimsical and tolerant philosophy, and the dauntless courage, physical as well as moral, which we find most satisfyingly displayed In Lincoln, of all our heroes. The girl pioneer looking down through a crack in the attic floor at a band of drunken tnd dangerous Indians rioting in the cabin and waiting ior the moment when they might discover her biding place; the young woman preacher alone in the wilderness with a driver who told her "she was at his mercy, a girl whose revolver made him drive sullenly to safety at her order; the somewhat older preacher who fought with unruly sailormen at Cape Cod what parts Anna Howard Shaw played In an America that went with the passing of the frontier!

Her wise guidance of the woman suffrage cause, a guidance which emphatically impressed upon the public mind that neither she nor the cause was responsible for the antics of the mad wing, the so-called militants, probably had as much to do with its triumph as anything that contributed to bring It about Her spell was not to be evaded. Even in conversation her voice had the Indefinable quality which makes the orator; and no one could look into those speaking eyes, or see that majestic head, without being aware that he was in the presence of an unusual human being. Sanity, liberality, cheerfulness, and that humorous patience that one finds exemplified but seldom, except in the case of such a man as Ballfour, all went to the making of a great American. It Is true that she was not born In this country, but she lived all her life among us, and many a native son or daughter Is leBs of an American than she.

cause of her misfortunes and spat in his face. He took the affront meekly and investigated her complaint. She was ill of consumption and he provided for her and promised to look out for her child. About the same time the police arrested another man who three former convicts swore was the missing Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean's conscience would not allow an innocent person to be punished in his place. Surmounting extraordinary difficulties he went to Arras, where the trial took place, and just as the judge was condemning the wrong man, he confessed he was the missing convict that had robbed the bishop and the hurdy-gurdy boy. The judge let him go; but Javert was implacable and apprehended him at Fantine's death-bed. He was lodged in jail, but having enormous strength, he broke out and returned to his house to secure his great fortune. He had time to hide his money in the haunted forest of Montfermeil, but was captured once more and sent to the galleys for life. Nine months later at Toulon he

himself either fell or jumped off from the spar and was reported drowned. The Battle of Waterloo had taken place and the Thenadiers, who had been guilty of robbing the dead on the fatal field, kept a wretched inn at Montfermeil. They treated Cosette, now eight years old, with great cruelty. Christmas, 1823, was the climax of her wretchedness; she was sent after dark to fetch water from a spring in the dreadful forest. A poorly dressed stranger, passing, carried her heavy bucket. At the tavern he protected her from her mistress' threatened punishment, and the next morning he paid Thenadier 1500 francs and took Cosette to Paris, where he occupied a tumble-down habitation Just outside of the city; the gloomiest place in all the gloomy boulevard.

convent school. She grew up into a charming girl; beauty suddenly came
to her like the blossoms to a cherry tree in April, and Jean Valjean, happy in loving her as his daughter, as his granddaughter, as the only woman he had ever loved, guarded her as a sacred treasure. He had good reason to be wary, for the Thenadiers had come to Paris and joined a band of robbers; and Javert never forgot. He had several desperate encounters with them. On the one side outlaws; on the other undeviating law personified. He took part in the abortive revolution of 1830 and saved Javert's life, at last winning the admiration of that implacable and fatally honorable man. But there was one danger from which he could not protect Cosette: the most beautiful thing in the world, which nevertheless seemed to him his worst enemy love. Baron Marius, the son of a man whom Thenadier had robbed at Waterloo and had incidentally saved from a terrible death, had been turned out of his house by bis royalist grandfather and was earning a poor livelihood by literature. He saw her and they met. Their love went through more than the Usual vicissitudes. During th Insurrection Jean Valjean carried the youth through the mazes of the Paris sewers and brought him' desperately wounded to his grandfather's house. The old man relented and consented to the marriage. Jean Valjean gave Cosette a dowry of about 600,000 francs. In order to have a conscience perfectly clear he told his life story to Marius, who, not understanding the grandeur of the spirit that had never done anything but good, allowed him to go away with a broken heart. Thenadier, however, came to the baron to blackmail him and unconsciously revealed what a noble life Jean Valjean had led. Marius. taking Cosette, hastened to the
old man's death-bed and gave him
one last taste from the cup of happiness. He died in their arms.
Victor Hugo calls "Les Miserables "a drama in which the hero is the Infinite, the second character is Man." It is in reality a melodrama in which are mingled scenes of history, a host of characters from the highest to the
lowest, improbabilities which strain
one's credulity, a vast amount of rare and curious information on all sorts
of subjects, dissertations on philoso
phy, science, politics, and religion. Its treatment of social injustice had a powerful influence on public opinion.

I knew what he was going to ask
And I pulled a long face. Not a difficult thing to do
In these piping times. And before he opened his mouth
I said sorrowfully, "Bill. I want you to lend me ten. I'm flatter than a. street car wheel. My rent is due and everything. Can you let me hare ten. Bill?" Bill gave me a queer look,

"After the war there'll be a great rush of curio collectors to the battlefields of France," remarked Senator Lodge, "and in no time at all the fields will be as bare of relics as some old farms in Massachusetts I have visited.

Sam and Rastus were seated In a Jim Crow car on a southern railway, enroute to a plantation for the cotton picking season. They were discussing politics, with particular reference to the coming state elections. Rastus was a rabid partisan of the Incumbent representative.
