Editor Labor Journal: Dear Sir—Congress, without dis senting vote, has delegated to the Federal Hoard for Vocation Educa tion the great task of re-educating and rehabilitating for civil life and usefulness, such of our wounded sol diei l and sailors as may he proper subjects, Available statistics show the num ber to average about 10,000 per mil lion men per annum. In other words, on the present army and navy trine th together with auxiliaries, we arc certain of almost 30.000 men to be subjects for re-education this year. As the strength grows the number of men grows. With the tnore sanguinary nature of the fight ing in open warfare instead of trench stalemate, the average may run to higher figures. Experience of our allies shows that over 80 per cent of permanent ly disabled men can be re-educated for useful, self-sustaining, wage earning employment. Many of them will be made into expert artisans, mechanics and semi-professionals, and will be a most valuable asset to the country in carrying on the work back of the lines, releasing able bodied men for the front; and also of great use to the country in the I civil readjustments after the war when the depleted ranks of skilled men will not be able to supply the ' demand. The work is of intense interest to every man in the ranks: every nan subject to draft and the fam ilies and relatives of these men, and to Americans generally. To know that oven though broken and shat tered in the fighting, there does not exist a future of inadequately pensioned, idle days, or an occupa tion that is semi-mendicancy, but I that the disabled man may be fitted for useful, respectable wage earn ' ing occupation, and in many in ! stances will make more than he ever made before he was hurt, should add j strength to their aims and resolution Ito their course. It should com fort them and their families, and make those who are not privileged jto bear arms feel that our country is acting with high justice toward the men who are bearing the brunt. We are not preparing any "hand outs" nor conducting propaganda. ; but we do want the people to know | what is going to be done for the . wounded, so as to educate public sentiment toward requiring these men to take the training for their , own sake. It is entuely voluntary on the part of the wounded man . whether he takes it or not. It is , here for him, to take or leave, just as he wishes. But a public sen- I timent understanding the opportun ity, will help reduce the number of ■ rippled and shattered incompetents after the war. The training does not affect his allotment under the v War Risk Insurance. Yours very truly, C. A. PROSSER, Director. The above letter announcing the institution of the Federal Vocational Educational Board for injured sol diers and sailors has been sent to •■'! newspapers and magazines in the United States. It Is now up to the states to do a like work for those men and wo men who have been incapacitated in the industries, It is just, humane and economi cal. Smoke (has. Sheets' CHALLENGE !0c Ciirar.

In May the roads Were beginning to recover from the paralyzing ef fect! of blizzards and embargoes, and the operating income rose to a point nearer last year's figures. For the five months the total was $180, --987,144 compared with $295,188,970 during that period last year, and for May it was $<i 1,270,805 against $70, --290,680 last May. In spite of the reduced operating income, revenues of the roads actu ally were larger for the five months this year than last. They were $1,300,282,020 compared with $1,274, --070,498, giving a margin which was more than eaten up by increased expenses. SICKNESS SURVEY DISCLOSES NEED FOR HE I TER PAID LABOR Excessive I xpense and Lack cf Med ical Care Found Even Among Favored Employees DETROIT, Mich.—That health in surance is a pressing need not only for the lesser paid workers and their families but even for the more prosperous wage earners, under present conditions, is disclosed by a recent survey of sickness in High land Park, a suburb of Detroit. In this town of 85,000, where in dustrlal life centers in the Ford Motor Company plant, the average wage is unusually high. The ma jority of its citizens own their homes. Yet in this "model town" a house-to-house canvas by the De troit Home Nursing Association shows that during 1917 one family out of every four had to face "the problem of acute illness" About one-fifth of the illnesses were those of wage-earning men, usually the main support of their families. These breadwinners lost on the average 55 days from work and $221.50 in wages through their ill health, in addition to their extra expenses for doctor, medicines and the like. Fully 30'/< of the sick persons fail ed to receive adequate care. Hos pital facilities and proper nursing care, it was found, were conspicu ous by their absence. Only about 10, of the sick people went to a hospital. Perahps 10';; had trained nursing and another 10' < a "practi cal" nurse. Less than half of the maternity cases visited received "adequate" care. While other investigations have revealed the severity of avoidable suffering and destitution caused by sickness among wage earners re ceiving less than ,SIOO a month, the Highland Park survey finds that the excessive drain upon the family earnings and the lack of proper med ical treatment in sickness indicates the need of health insurance among comparatively well-to-do workers as well. Universal workmen's health insurance as proposed in America will provide at small cost to the insured not only cash benefits to tide over loss of earnings, but also adequate medical, hospital and nurs ing care, maternity benefits, and a financial incentive to disease pre vention. PEACE ON EARTH (Mabel Florence Rieard) O night agleam with angel forms! O Judean hills of light! O wondrous song that long ago Rang in the stilly night! Deep in the hearts of men it burns, A down the ages hurled; And yet today it rings upon A weary, war-torn world. O Father could the blind eyes see, And could the deaf ears hear, And could the hearts be opened wide So torn with pain and fear. O could they know the Christ within, The light of every life, Ah, weary world, that knowledge then Would end thy pain and strife. Then from the lips of men would ring, To swell the angels' song, That glorious anthem that proclaimed The end of sin and wrong. 0 wondrous song, so long ago, From Judoun hills proclaimed! O that transcendent melody Ily angel voices framed! Ah none could then destroy or hurt For all would know of Thee; And radiant love would fill the earth As waters fill the sea. Store Opens 9 A. M..
