"vacatioh':avaited by indiana miners; begin strike april 1

(By Associated Press) TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 31. Indiana coal miners, all of whom have been working only part-time for months, are ready for a long "vacation" in the strike that begins tomorrow, according to their leaders. Operators, too, assert they are willing to let the men "lay off" until they are ready to return to work at reduced

wages. But neither Bide will predict

how long the strike will continue. Although there are 16 coal produc

lng counties in Indiana, the big mtn ingi centers are in Vigo, Vermillion,! Knox, Sullivan and Greene counties.! Clay county, with Its block coal field, has mnrp than a srnrA rf tnlnfs hut '

the actual number of men employed there has been about one thousand or less for the last few months. The employment situation has had its reflection seen in the union's membership. Although the union officials report there are 31,000 miners in. the state, all of them have not worked with such uniformity as to be required to pay dues and the paid-up membership of the Indiana district. Is report

ed to have been about between 25,000 1

and 26,000 for several months, the remainder being exempted for slack work. . . 100 Per Cent Union Except for some small wagon mines, Indiana is a 100 per cent organized union field, and a complete suspension of work is regarded as a certainty after today. The operators have made no plans for seeking to continue operations, but with the district union . officials have made arrangements for keeping many engineers, firemen and pumpers at work to protect the mines during the suspension. The distribution of the 249 coal mines In Indiana as shown by the Coal Field Directory follows: Vigo, 61 mines; Sullivan, 43; Greene, 30; Vermillion, 22; Warrick, 21; Clay, 22;

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell me haw I can get rid of blushing. I blush for everything. The older I grow, tl e more I blush. MARY. Try to concentrate your thoughts on the" people around you. When you become genuinely interested in them you will have less time to think about yourself and will feel less awkward. Do not let the habit worry you, because it is attractive, if anything. ' Dear Mrs. Thompson: Would a gentleman tell a girl her underskirt Is showing? BROWN EYES. Very few men would have the courage to tell a girl such a thing. A pentleman could do so however, if lie told her in the right way, thinking that he could spare her future embarrassment. Acts should be judged by the way In which they are done and by the motive back of them.

(By Associated Press) NEWARK, N. J., March 31 There are 1.913 Methodist ministers now studying and on trial preparatory to becoming elders, an increase of more than 187 over last year, Dr. R. J. Wade of Chicago, corresponding secretary of the committee on conservation and advance, told the members of the Newark

Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church' here today. "There were 359 ministers who died in 1921; there are 623 supernumerary preachers, and 3,583 retired ministers," he said. "Since June 1, 1919, $40,768,340 have been paid into the treasury of the Methodist Episcopal church for the Methodist centenary program, an increase of over 360 percent in giving of the Methodist Episcopal church. This is the most remarkable example

of increased benevolent giving in the

history of the church. "The amount paid district superintendents was $1,526,658; bishops, $401,516; conference claimants, $1,711,020, making a total ministerial support of $28,26S,237. The Sunday schools of the whole church number 36,415, an increase of 544, with a total enrollment of 4,673,136, an increase of 258,664.

WILL OFFER REWARD FOR MISSING DAUGHTERS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. March 31. In hope of finding his missing daughters, W. H. Burk, weathly Aurora, 111., manufacturer, planned today to offer a large reward. The girls are Ruth, 13, and Virginia, 9. They have not been heard from since tfley left to attend school last Wednesday afternoon.

WASHINGTON, D. C. March 31. The ex-service man who suffered any kind of disability because of his term In the Army is not being neglected by the Federal Government. If men who were wounded or who have developed illness as a result of their service in the World War are not being cared for by the Government, It usually is their own fault. The' U. S. Veterans' Bureau has come across many cases thousands, in fact where men entitled to compensation or instruction at the hands of the Government have failed to take advantage of it, often through ignorance. The Veterans' Bureau Is the outgrowth of the now defunct War Risk Insurance Bureau, with duties in addition to the former functions of the War Risk Organization. It is working in cooperation with the U. S. Pubic Health Service in the medical work affecting World War veterans.

Right now the Bureau is paying Right now the bureau is paying more

This money Eoes directly into the

hands of former service men or their

dependents. Hospital care and treatment is being furnished without cost to 30,000 veterans. This care incluaes board and lodging, and represents an outlay on the part of the Government amounting to about $5,000,000 a month, or $60,000,000 a year. Every month, checks are mailed out from the Bureau totalling $42,000,000. This big total represents 650,000 checks. The Bureau is conducting an insurance business for no less than

600,000 veterans of the war, there being no charge upon the ex-soldier policy holders for the cost of administering this enormous business. The policies in force represent ..3,500,000 of insurance. In connection with the U. S. Public Health Service, more than 50,000 medi

cal examinations are made every month by the Veterans' Bureau. Medical treatment Is not confined to the 30,000 hospital cases, but is given to 20,000 additional former service men

every month. Nearly 1.500,000 Claims

The claims filed with the Bureau up to January first totalled 1,418,912 and a thousand new claims come in every day. In handling the enormous work of the Bureau, 4,000 ex-service men and women are given employment. The expenditures of the Bureau for ex-service men during the fiscal year 1922 will amount to more, than the entire Federal appropriations authorized by Congress 25 years ago. Vocational training is an important part of the work of this Government agency. At the close of last year more than 100,000 veterans were receiving this instruction, from the Government. More than 90,000 of these men were receiving, in addition to the

training, what is called "maintenance

pay", the amounts ranging from $80 to $170 a month. Since the Government undertook the work of rehabilitating the vocationally handicapped veterans, about 135,000 have taken advantage of it. C. R. Forbes, Director of the Bureau, is authority for the statement that

this Government has been more liber-

! al with its disabled soldiers than any

other Government in the world. For 4 Vi -v ttliif -v F Vmrri itit vwT" - ci - tntnl rt

more than a billion and a quarter dol-1

lars has been expended. The end of the work of this Bureau is not in sight, by any means. It is estimated ' that eventually the number of veterans to receive vocational education alone will amount to between 250,000 and 300,000. -Recently a conference was beM here of the leading lights of the educational world. This conference made many recommendation! to the Veteran ' Bu reau, and these recommendations are being carried out to the best of the ability of the officers of the Bureau. The nation's best best Known experts in neuropsychiatry and mental disorders recently 'concluded a conference which bids fair to assist the Bureau materially in decreasing-the number of mental cases and to provide & cure foremen with disordered minds. "No stone has been left unturned to provide the disabled veterans of the World War with every possible advan-

based on the inheritance laws in effect in Mississippi. In the end the uncles and' aunts, sister-in-law, nephewB, and nieces, as well aa all cousins, were excluded from the benefits of the Government insurance. The monthly amount is to be divided between the 9 brothers, six sisters, and the stepmother. Hereafter, a check for $1.92 will be forwarded each month to each of these surviving relatives of the former soldier.

tage," says Director Forbes, 'and statements to the effect that the Gov. ernment has been derelict in iU duty show an absolute lack of information of what has been done for them." The work of the Bureau is not easy,

by any means. Handling so many death and disability claims is an enor

mous business in itself, rivalling the

business tt a big insurance company

After Ten Years By MARION RUBINCAM

THE NEWCOMERS Chapter 16 There was always a great deal of excitement over the tennis tourna

mentas they were called several of which took place every summer. There were challenges between the different counties nearby and often between Wissakeagan and tennis players in other states. So it was not unusual that several players from the East should arrive for a contest. "They're staying at the hotel," Cora ed dispute the presidency of the club and Millie sat on the Buchanan's porch around a card table. "It's a dreadful place. Really, if .we're going to have visitors, we ought to have eomewhere for them to go. We might build a wing to the club house."

Maude, who liked to run things,

which has hunt its nnranizntinn with seized upon this eagerly. She intend

through many decades. Peculiar Cases Arise .Often one case will cause the Bureau no end of difficulty. Recently a death claim came before the Bureau which showed that the veteran who had taken out the insurance was related to 4 per cent of the population of his home town. The late Bennie F. Taylor had the policy, which named his father as beneficiary. The father died, leaving the money to the next of kin. The Veterans' Bureau requested a list of relatives falling in what is known as the "permitted class" and this is what happened:

and thought that if she engineered the building of a new wing it would help her election. But to diguise her intentions, she asked Millie why she did not take it in charge. "I haven't time." Millie said. "That's always your excuse," Cora scoffed. "Millicent Buchanan, I don't belive you're interested that's what You never go out there to play tennis any more. You used to be so good, too." "I haven't time to play," Millie pro-

The remaining relatives include the names of Berch, Summers, Dayis, Campbell, Broadwater, Goss, Lemon, Bornes, Thornton, Manning, and Ponder. On examination of this amazing list, it was found that 59 of these relatives are now residents of Crystal Springs. Thus, according to the last census figures given for this town, Bennie Taylor wa3 related to a trifle more than 4 per cent of the total population,

which amounts to 1,395. -The oldest

of the relatives given in the list is an uncle of 70 years. The youngest

is a nephew born in January of this

year. An of them live in Mississippi. As long as Taylor's father lived the

ease was simple enough. The veteran

had a term insurance policy for $5,000, and the' Veterans' bureau forwarded a creek to the elder Taylor each month

for $28.75. The complications- when the elder Taylor died, leaving no will,

care of an invalid father, kept house for her brother, and did her own sewing and that of hor brother's children as well. - .

"You ought to be ashamed, Miuie,"

Cora said with the frankness of lifelong friendship. "Yjju're the luckiest women in this town.!" .

Millie's eyes opend wide at this. It

was not her view of the case at all.

You are," Cora went on in her rig

orous fashion. "You haven't any housework because you keep a servant You needn't do any sewing, for you can always buy ready-mado or have Mrs. Martin in to sew for you. You haven't any children. Now, what do you do with yourself all day?" It was an unanswerable question. What, inded? A little sewing, a little knitting or fancy work, the marketing, visiting, card playing she realized dimly that her life passed in an endless round of petty, worthless details. ' ' ' She began shuffling the cards," trying to think of excuses these two

busier friends would accept. : She wished Mrs. Munn. who wa3 to play with them, would come over. When that lady came across the lawn from the other house she was 60 g!od to see her that she forgot to make notes about the gray chiffon dress that billowed so enchantingly in the warm breeze. Great festivities were always planned for the visiting tennis players.

There was to be a dance the night of their arrival. Patty was in charge ot that. "There are six of them " said anoth

er member cf the entertainment committee who was helping Patty decorate the single big room at the club for the evening's dance. "Think of having six new men In this town, all at once! What a blessing there are at leaettwo girls to every man!" Patty agreed that the ' newcomers might prove a "blessing." As a matter pf fact, she was getting rather weary of hearing the same talk, over and over again every time she saw any

of the youth of her town. Convercation went in a email circle; when it came to the starting point, it began all over again as before. , "Mrs. Werner grabbed them all for dinner," the other girl rattled on. "She would, of course! If she thinks they're any good, she'll try and keep them the whole time. If not she may let the rest of us have a look now and then. Are you going to wear that blue velvet, Patty?"

But when Patty reached home after she had decided that the club looked festive enough she found that Mrs. Werner was only having five guests after all. The sixth was having dinner at her mother's house. " A strange figure was seated on her porch, a figure in a tweed traveling suit All she could see at first was the back of the suit and the cap that lay on the table, and very thick head of hair. So it was the man Mrs. Munn knew after all! Mrs. Munn stretched out her hand as Patty reached the porch, and the newcomer rose.. "I sent a letter to the' hotel on the chance that it might be this Paul"

Mrs.. Munn cried. "Pafry, I want you

to know Paul Darlington. Paul, Miss Patricia Parke." t , , v Patty held out her hand, and 'for the first time looked at Paul. - ; ,
