BLIND IN MISSOURI
5,847 on Books to lteceive
300 Pension.
Annual
Jetferson City, Mo. Nov. U. Wind
porbons in Missouri who are eligible
to receive the $300 annual pension
allowed by the State had been paid
749, 981.96 up to April 1, last, ac
cording, to figures compiled by L. D.
Thompson, Stato treasurer, and
made public today. There are
5,847 blind on the books now and
there has been a rapid increase in
the number of applications during
the last few months, it was stated.
January 1 there were 3.S43 per
sons receiving a pension, an increase
in three months of 2,004. None of
these have recelvd any money from
the State since March 31, as there
is only $201,000 of the original ap
propriation left in the treasury.
Mr. Thompson believes, however,
that the State may be able to pay an
other $75 to each pensioner before
the year is out.
St. Louis city leads the list with
COS pensioners. Jackson county
ranks second with 303. Greene
county is next, with 171, and then
follow: Buchanan, 142; Newton,
109 and Jasper, 102. The payment
of blind pensions requires nearly
$2,000,000. Those eligible, for a
pension must, have an income of less
than $7S0 a year. No provision is
made in the law for minors.

Train Wreck Sues.

MSING FROM ITS RUINS.
Poplar Muff, Mo. William .
Curry, one of the passengers who
was Injured in the wreck of Frisco
train No. 805 Sept. 1, at Starland in
Perry county, has filed suit with the
.circuit clerk of Butler county for
$40,000 damages. Arthur T. Brew
ster of this city and Ironton, Mo ,
will represent Curry at the trial,
which is scheduled to appear on the
docket of the January term of court.
The petition alleges that the train
was traveling at a fast rate of speed,
trying to make up for lost time, and
that it ran out on the trestle which
collapsed under its weight. Accord
ing to reports, the trestle was weak
ened by certain of the timbers burn
ing out. The petition further sets
out that Curry was injured and dis
figured and otherwise Injured and
maimed.

Tho whole of the war-torn area
centering around Vpres, Belgium, 1h
rapidly regaining its pre-war aspect,
thanks to tho industry and porso
voranco of tho hardy Belgians, so
courageously carrying on tho work
of bringing their beloved land out
of chaos.
Those who have not visited tho
country in three years are amazed
at the change that has been wrought
In and about the following places:
Courtrai, Menln, Colmcs, Hill CO.
Ypres, Poperingho, Kenunel, Zonne
beko, Moorsledo, Uoulers, Staden,
Dlxmude, Funics, Nelpert and Os
tend. A few years ago one could drive
hour after hour through a wilder
ness of shell holes and rank gas from
a village which had entirely been
blotted off the face of the earth to a
town of which tho few walls left
standing averaged perhaps three
feet in height, and one had found
the pioneers of the returning popu
lation living miserably in Nissen
huts and squalid plum ties.
Today the shell holes are the ex
ception; they have been filled in
with the spade and plowed over
with motor cultivators, and where
there used to be the foul and rug
ged wilderness are now clean and
level fields. At the time of the ar
mistice there were 200,000 acres of
land which had been laid waste;
now there is not one-twentieth of
this area not under cultivation.
The crops liave been as good as, or
better than ever. Generally speak
ing, and apart from the absence of
any living or unriddled tree, there
is virtually nothing about the land
scape to suggest that it has ever
been devastated at all. A few tanks
remain stranded where they were;
one passes little dumps of wire and
shells and an abundance of concrete
pill boxes sinking lop-sidedly in the
mud.
But until noon, when the daily
destruction of ammunition begins,
and the boom of muffled explosions
comes from afar, it would be easy,
throughout most of the battle area,
to forget altogether the dreadful
years which filled the air with tu
mult and drenched the very soil be
neath human feet with blood.
A new feature of the landscape
since two years ago is the springing
up of farms. One sees them every
where with their bright red house
roofs and spacious barns. Some of
them are a great improvement on
the old buildings. But it is, for the
most part, only in the case of the
farms that . the people have taken
advantage of the rebuilding to
bring their houses up to date. As
a rule, they have simply put them
back exactly as they were before.

What an amiably confiding species
is the human race, especially in mat
ters of finance. Gold bricks glow
and fade, perpetual motion engines
perpetually cease to move; the long
flies of easy dollars glide peacefully
dovn hill from the bank accounts
of the trustful to the pockets of the
Ingenious, and still adlieres ,in the
breast of mankind the ineradicable
expectation that fortune waits just
around the turn. Consider, for ex
ample, the ease with which a genius
with a new electric light device has
been belling his stock to the eager
public. The light is alleged to be
self-contained, self-sufficient, self
supporting and capable of burning
for three years alone in its little
bulb without expense, wires or other
extraneous aid, and to be salable at
i mall cost. No inventor has yet be
held the marvel; the enterprise is
still in tho "preparatory" stage
here. But the inventor asserts
that he once made one in far-off
Fouth America which was shattered
by a lightning bolt, presumably
hurled by envious Jove, or perhaps
conjured by the alarm electric light
iutcrestb. On this basis he and his
company have been selling par $10
shares of stock as high as $50. Not
too high a rate, perhaps, for tho
kind of education in store for tho
purchaers, and if nobody believed
fairy tales, what a dreary world this
would be! Leslie's Weekly.

In the solution of their other problems
by the Americun Hod Cross, according
to E. S. Transitu, director of war serv
ice of the Southwestern Division of
the American lied Cross.
"Ited Cross workers lu the camps
and hospitals lu the Southwestern Di
vision are rendering much-needed serv
ice to tho men who are in the army at
the present time," said Xrunsue.
"Those seivit'c men undergoing hospi
tal treatment for one cause or another
nnd ex-service men who have been
hospitalized both In the army hospitals
and hospitals operated by the Vet
erans' Bureau, are some of the men
In need of this service.
"The army camps' and hospitals in
Ibis division covered by Ited Cross
workers are located at Jefferson Bur
rarks. St. Louis, Mo.; Camp Travis,
Tex., Including Ft. Sam Houston Hos
pital; Ft. Bliss, Tex., including Wm.

"The Veterans' Bureau hospitals
served by the Southwestern Division
of the Bed Cross ure: U. S. Veterans

"Of the 5,000 patients, approximate
ly 75 per rent are undergoing treat
ment for tuberculosis and mental dis
eases. This makes the work one of
considerable difficulty, inasmuch as it
is ofttimes a real problem to provide
propar recreation or to connect the
man' present condition with his serv
ice. "There are thre pluiM! of the Bed
Cross program l'o service and ex
service men in the camps and hos
pitals Home Service, Becreatlon and
Medical Social Service. Our regular,
camp service program consihtb of what
Is known as home service work. This
lulls for co-operation between the Ited
Cross worker in the camp and govern
mental and chapter agencies in taking
care of problems-of the enlisted man
lu tin- army. Difficulties relating to
allotments, allowances, insurance, com
pensation, stnte bonus, travel pay, etc,
ure all brought to the Bed Cross by
the enlisted man. The Bed Cross also
contacts the families through the chap
ters in eue of distress, sickness or
death.
"The recreational and entertainment
program in the hospital brings movies
for the boys; amateur theatricals,
dances, parties and those many other
things thai the sick man longs for, but
which be could not have were it not
for the Bed Cross.
"Tile Bed Cross medical and social
service program calls for a study of the
individual needs of the man, to help 1dm
in solving his personal and family diffl-'
unities, to aid him by material assist
ance when he is without resources, toi
uld the doctor in his treatment of the
patient by obtaining former medlcul
or social histories which may lead to
un accurate diagnosis and to interpret
tlit: whole situation to tho Bed Cross
Chupter homo service worker lu tho
man's home community, so that not
only will the proper attention be given
to the family during the man's ab
sence, but he muy be free in mind and
thus derive a maximum amount of
benefit from ids treatment.
"In carrying out our work for the
ex-service man undergoing hospitali
zation the Bed Cross lias constantly
borne In mind that the great object
1ms been to play tho right part in tlie
period of adjustment through which
the ex-service man must safely pass if
he Is to continue to be u good citizen.
This work has required personnel who
are not only sympathetic in the deal
ing with patients but who must havo
an understanding of the sociul prob
lems of civil life.
"Just as It has always been recog
nized "that the time spent In u gov
ernment hospital is only a brief epi
sode lu the life of a patient, so has It
been recognized that the activities of
the hospital worker are only u purt of
the responsibility of tho Red Cross to
the ex-service man; that the hospltul
work can be successful only us it cor
relates Itself closely; with the work of
the Red Cross as a' whole. The hos
pital worker Is the outpost detailed
to special duty. It Is his endeavor to
Interpret the present condition of the
man In the hospital to tho home people
nnd iii each of us. us Individuals,
watched the men who imirclied away
to service, us each one of us helped
to "keep tlic homo tires burning" while
the boys served lu the front lino
trenches, so does It tecome our duty
today to render a very deilnlte service
to these men, who aro still fighting
the great buttle of Immunity, begun
In 1017, and In which to date no
urmlstlc has been declared. Through
the Red Cross you are helping thorn
to hold tho line,"
