HELP FOR WIVES
AND CHILDREN
xOF WAR HEROES
Bill Providing Schools for
Widows and Orphans Waits
House Action.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Education for
work, at Government expense and with
Government aupport, is promised for
about 28.000 Americans, including 12.000
women, by a measure which has already
passed the Senate and is said to have ex
cellent prospects in the House.
This is the Kenyon-Fess bill, which
passed the Senate on Jan. 31 of the cur
rent year, and now lies awaiting action
by the House of Representatives. Kejfl’e
sentative Simeon P. Fess of Ohio, whose
special protege Is this bill, attempted in
vain to get a quorum together to dis
cuss it during the last few days of the
closing session of Mr. Wilson's admln
ls^#ion.
bill offers vocational training un
der the supervision of the Federal board
of vocational education to the widows and
orphans of Americans who lost their lives
during the period that the United States
was actively engaged in the World War,
and also to American citizens who served
In allied armies, that is. with the Cana
dian. British. French, Italian or Belgian
forces. In other words, the United States
Government is planning to help the
wives and children of heroes fit them
selves for jobs whereby they can earn
their bread-and-butter and our men who
did their duty under foreign but allitd
flags will, in this way, not be deprived )f
their privileges as Americans.
It is estimated by the Federal board
Ifhat at least 10,000 Americans who had
“enlisted in allied forces will thus become
eligible for vocational training and 12,000
widows and 6.000 orphans. These figures
are a conservative estimate compiled by
the War Department, a<Td it is possible
that further investigation now being maae
by the various district offices of the Fed
eral board will Increase this number.
Among prominent individuals especial
ly interested in the compiling of these
statistics is Miss Helen P. McCormick of
New York City, who is assistant district
attorney of Kings County, New York, and
ehairman of the Catholic Big Sisters of
that locality. Miss McCormick is person
ally searching the records of the local
war heroes in order to find especially
how many women and children in Amer
ica’s greatest city will be entitled to such
training.
WHAT WOMEN
ARE EXIGIBLE.
In prder for a widow or orphan to be
eligible for this training It will be nec
essary to prove that the husband or
father has died since April 7. 1917, as a
result of injury or disability incurred.
Increased or aggravated while in service,
or traceable, in the opinion of the board,
*to origin during his period of service. No
can receive these benefits unless
sr.e commences a course of training under
the supervision of the Federal boArd prlbr
to Jan. 1. 1925, nor in the event of her
remarriage. Moreover, application for
such training mnst be made to the dis
trict office of the Federal board within
eighteen months after the date that the
hill passes and has become a law.
In the case of an orphan, vocational
training shall,only be furnished between
the ages of 14 and 18 years. Os course,
at this time most of the orphans of
soldiers killed during this war are from
2 to 5 years of age. The provision al
lows. however, that provided applica
tion is made by the child's guardian be
fore the eighteen months have elapsed,
the child will receive the training when
14 years of age. The reason that the age
limit is set in this manner has been ex
plained /by Mr. Monroe, a member of the
House Committee on Education, to be
based on the ground that the public
Schools take care of these children up
to the age of 14.
In the cases of the men who served
with allied forces, the bill states that
“Every person in the military or naval
forces of any ally of the United States
In the late war, if a citizen of the
United States immediately prior thereto,
anjjl having resumed citizenship if lost
OFs reason of any oath or obligation
taken for the purposes of entering such
allied service, who, since April 7, 1917,
has resigned or has been discharged or
furloughed therefrom under honorable
conditions, having a disability in the
judgment of the board, constituting a
vocational handicap, or of a degree of
ten percentum or more. Incurred, In
creased or aggravated while a member of
such forces, or later developing such a
disability traceable, in the opinion of
the board, to service with such forces
shall be furnished by such board, where
feasible, such course of vocational re
habilitation or vocational and general
education as the board shall prescribe.”
INCLUDES MEDICAL
TREATMENT. <
It will be especially noted that by the
above-quoted passage in the Kenyon Fess
bill, anew latitude of eligibility is given
In that to be eligible if man may have
either 10 per cent disability or a voca
tional handicap. Formerly the pro
vision was for the vocationally handi
capped only. In another section of the
bill this expression also includes men
who served with the United States mili
tary and naval forces.
Another very interesting feature of'the
bill is the provision stating that all medi
cal treatment which any widow, orphan
or ex-servlee man may require while re
ceiving such training, be provided at the
-expense of the Government. As no pro
vision of this sort has been made by
-Congress, such organizations as the Elks
have raised special funds to take care
rf doctor's bills incurred by men who
have received or are now receiving such
training. However, as most of these
•military organizations are now closing
all their war work, most of their funds
l-have ceased to be available for this pur
iipose. j
l Another section of the bill provides
S|bat “every person electing to follow a
Ijsourse shall, while following the same,
jgtpaid monthly by the said board, from
ijjhe' appropriations made, by the Con
gress for carrying out the provisions of
‘the vocational rehabilitation act. such

and support and for the maintenance and
support of persons dependent upon him.
if any.” In no event can the sum so
paid an adult, without dependents, exceed
8100 a month, or, with dependents. 8120
a month. In the latter case, however,
there are In addition, the various sums
prescribed as family allowances which
are provided for by the war risk insur
ance act. The amount to be paid a child
while pursuing a course of training can
not exceed 850 a month. Children In
cluded in this art are legitimate chil
dren, children legally adopted prior to
N'ev. 11, 1918; stepchildren, and illegiti
mate children, provided the deceased
father had been judicially ordered, or
decreed to contribute to such child's
aupport at any time.
J. The courses of training under super
vision of the hoard include a practically
unlimited scope of choice. Training in
various agricultural pursuits, business
courses, trades, professions all are rep
resented in the long list of over one hun
dred occupations. These include all the
popular, up-to-date trades such as auto

COLLEGE HIRES
TRUANT BOY TO
COLLECT DOGS
(Continued From Fare One.}
receives and complaint from someone In
Rushville that his pet dog is missing,
but that repeatedly he has started inves.
tigation only to have the dog returned
to the owner in much the same manner
that Judge Walter Pritchard’s missing
Airedale, “Jerry,” was returned to him
In this city. The chief says he has
searched the premises occupied by Stan
ley Kemp, father of the youthful dog
snatcher, but hks never found stolen dogs
there.
Carroll Downey, fireman at Rush
vllle, is authority for the statement that
the truck In which dogs are transported
to the medical college was in Rushville
about two weeks ago. He said the truck
was specially fitted for the transportation
of dogs.
Rushville 'dog owners arT considerably
aroused by the dog traffic which the
medical college has Induced. Judge
Sparks says that a number of citizens
hav< counselled with him as to how their
pets could be protected and that In a
number of cases owners have placed a
valuation on their dogs for taxation as
personal property in order to be able to
make a larceny charge against any one
who takes them.
Kemp has a corn crib at his place
where dogs whichAe snatches are con
fined while they await the arrival of tht
truck from the college. The care given
the dogs while confined In this crib Is
negligible and it is easily understood
why the animals are in “such condition
that they do not appear to be anybody's
pets” by the time they are received at
the “death kennels” In Indianapolis.
A prominent merchant of Rushville re
cently lost a valuable dog and having
heard of Kemp as a dog-snatcher, visited
the Kemp home on a search for It. He
did not find the dog there, but shortly
afterward it was found In another part
of the town, where it had been confined
*35 FOR ONE
DAY’S SNATCHING.
Statements differ as to the number of
dogs that the boy has collected for the
medical college.
The Times has a letter from one Rush
ville citizen, who says that Kemp boast
ed to him of having been paid 835 one
day for collecting dogs for the college.
Mrs.*Kemp says that the total number
of dogs collected by her son was not
more than twenty.
Beyond admitting that he had gathered
up eight dogs from Milroy young Kemp
: refused to make any statements relative
:to the number he had procured or to
| the places from which they were pro
i cured.
Young Kemp had evidently been tbor
! oughly posted as to the procedure to
| follow in event he was questioned con
cerning his dog snatching. He launched
1 into a long discourse concerning the
j ‘‘scientific’’ uses to which the dogs wefe
I placed when received by the college, re-
I fused to give any names of persons with
whom he denied and insisted that he
would ‘‘tell nothing that would get the
college In nad.” .
His mother said that Kemp was in
duced to undertake the collection of
dogs while he was a patient at the Long
Hospital In Indianapolis last fall.
The Indiana law concerning the trans
portation of animals reads as follows:
j “Every owner, possessor or person hav
ing the charge or custody of any animal
who cruelly drives or works the same or
who neglects or abandons such animals
when no longer fit for labor, or who shall
abandon any maimed, sick/infirm or dis
abled animal to die in any public place,
or who shall carry or cause to be car
ried upon any vehicle, or otherwise, any
living animal, fowl or bird, having the
feet or legs tied together, or in any other
cruel and Inhuman manner, or who shall
carry or cause to be carried any** live
animal upon any vehicle, or otherwise,
without providing suitable racks, cars,
crates or cages in which such animals
may stand or lie down during transpor
tation, or whilst awaiting slaughter,
shall, on conviction, be fined not more
than S2OO, to which may be added im
prisonment in the county jail for any
period not exceeding sixty days.”
SOCIETY LEAVES IT
, ALL TO DR. PFAFFLIN.
At a regular meeting of the Indian
apolis Humane Society held last night,
a motion to appoint a special commit
tee to Investigate the conditions at the
medical school was voted down and the
investigation was left to the executive
committee, headed by Dr. C. A. Pfafflin,
“chief of the petit police force,” who was
present and informed the society that all
which had been said about the medical
college was “lies.”
Dr. Pfafflin is a specialist who depends
for Ills medical pffletiee on the good will I
of physicians and surgeons who send
him patients. Any ateps that he might
take toward interfering with the prac
tlees of the medical school could be ex
peeffed to alienate the “good will” of the
physicians who approve of the college
treatment of dogs and thereby curtail j
his business.
Under his direction complaints made \
against the college more than a year ago
were promptly smothered and since the
latest complaints have been made against
the college Dr. Pfaffiin has been indus
triously engaged in trying to discredit
all persons taking part in the investiga
tion. '
Among others active in the humane
society affairs who are opposed to any
effort to stop the practices of the medi
cal college is W. S. Frye, the head of n
trucking company in Indianapolis, which
has been persistently fighting all efforts
to license trucks and against whose prac
tice of operating trucks without license
identification the police of Indianapolis
have complained publicly.
It Is understood the executive com
mittee of the humane society expects
to hear from the college soon and. in
the meanwhile, humane officers, directed
by Dr. Pfafflin, are cinder Instructions
to get all evidence possible to show that
the medical college is not in any way
infracting the laws of the State In its
treatment of the dogs procured for It
by the juvenile delinquent at llushville
and others.
