' We'll make a bet—not a big one—but we’ll make a bet that the chief topic of conversation around the schools this| | morning was the antics some of the kids went through at the Grand theatre yesterday afternoon under the hypnotic spe!l of a professor of the mystic art—for the amusement of the audi- ence. It was entertaining, no question about that, and had the professor chosen some grown persons for the sport, we very probably would not have had anything to say. We are n!:‘ the opinion, however, that the boys took it too seriously. It is an experience they will not forget, at least for a long time, an.d many of the youngsters are worrying a great deal more this morning about how “he” did it than about their arithmetic or seography lesson. We did not see the show ourselves, so cannot comment on its excellence or otherwise, but we did hear a big bunch of boy.s whose topic of conversation was confined to the show and it surely gripped them. r so will not discuss that part of the game, but we are in the busi- ness of expressing opinions and we venture to suggest that in- stead of mere children being put through this experience ‘it would be better to make some of the full growns amuse the crowd. g ——0 UNCLE SAM AND THE DISABLED SOLDIER By Dr. Frank Crane While there is so much criticism of the government going on, and now that the war is over, nobody seems.to have a kind word for Uncle Sam, I would like to call attention to one really good and first-class thing he is doing. The government has appropriated $90,000,000 to help all those who have been incapacitated by the war to fit themselves for jobs. That is quite a tidy sum. Do you know about it? Are you a disabled soldier, or do you know of one? If d, here is the chance to find out that the country that asked men to fight for it is not altogether ungrateful. . Every week hundreds of service men are discharged as cured from the government hospitals, and at the same time re- turned to civiliap status, but these young men, in many cases, are not physically and mentally able to take up their former vo- cation The Federal board for vocational education has $90,- 000,000 at its disposal and is prepared to give training to any disabled ex-service man honorably discharged since April 7, 1917, who is unable to carry on at his former work without a real handicap and whose condition makes such training feasible. In this way the government has provided a comparatively hap- py and independent future for such men. The government pays men from $80 to $170 per month, ac- cording to a man’s dependents and the cost of living in the local- ity in which he is trained. These men are trained at many of the best professional and trade schools in the country; others are trained on the job with some practical firm; still others pre-! fer to keep their present positions and study in night courses without training pay in order to advance themselves. If a man’s eligibility can be established, he can be almost immediately enrolled in a school or placed in training for a trade with some firm. Men from out of town will be furnished free railroad trans- portation upon request and given meal and lodging where neces- sary. Lack of schooling does not make a man ineligible. The board will endeavor to train the most illiterate foreigners. Many men think it is necessary for them to leave home towns in order to get training of any sort. As the board places a great many men in “placement training on the job,” it is quite possible that a man can live at home while taking trainirg. If any man has a reason why he cannot accept vocational training at the hands of the Federal board, he is urged to bring that reason to the attention of the board. If he is right, his case| will be retired to the board’s inactive files until he wishes to open'it again. If he has been misinformed, the board will set him right. The board states it-is continually running into men who do not know that they may be entitled, for instance, to com- pensation from the War Risk Insurance Bureau, and also to training under the Federal board. You may have heard ex-soldiers or others say that the gov- ernment drafted them to fight, and now it's all over, it casts them aside and cares nothing for them. : If you have read what I have written here you know it is not so. g Vocational Education, 23 West Forty-third St., New York City, and you will receive full information. That does not mean you may have to come to New York. The board has branches all over the country, in almost every large city. But you can write to the New York office and find out. 5 If you are in any way disabled why not receive this help? You are entitled to it, and the board is anxious to find you.—; (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) ° The purposes of the co nt have to do w:ih the past and the fu ture of the woman movement.

QUEEN MONSTER OF CRUELTY Fredegonde, Wife of French King Woman of Amazing Beauty and Seemingly Without Heart. One of the most bloodthirsty queens the world has known, but about who little has been related in ordinary | histories, was Bredegonde, a woman | of amazing beauty and utterly heart- less, who ruled’ France with her bus- band Chilperic from 568 to & She came from an obscure Picardy family. and secured the notice of the king by taking service as a common servant at the court. Her beauty was so great she won his heart. and he sent his queen -fo prison for iife. d raised Fredegonde to high rank. Iie marricd a Spanish princess, and Fredeg: caused her to be strangled ir her bed. The brother-in-law of the princes tempted revenge. was stabbs by Fredégonde’s hirelings, and rthen she brought about the assassination of the king's three sons by his former wife. Ten young people in all died of her command or at her own hand, and she was not above an attempt to murder her own child, Regunthe, a beautiful maiden-of whom Fredegonde lecame jenlous, She took the girl to her treasure chest and told her to pluy with the jewels. As the child stooped | ovér the chest the queen slammed down the great lid and only aid from chance passers saved the life of the child, 1 | Change-Ringers. English peals are rung by a man to ia bell, the bell swinging on a heavy mounting, starting at an inverted po- | sition when it is at rest. The bell is i attached to a wheel over which a rope is strung pulley-wise, each ringer hav- ing the two ends in his hands. The ringers—they call themselves “change- ringers"—stand in a circle, with a con- ductor in the center. It takes m year of training, one night a week, to make a change-ringer. It requires a strong tower to stand the strain of the swing- | ing bells. The effect of the swinging is to give a more beautiful tone than that of a fixed bell. | Change-ringers usually are trained ! church folk. The Ancient Society of ! College Youths, founded in 1637, is | thelr London organization. There are more than a thousand members who meet monthly and ring special peals in relays. On the king's birthday, cor- :onnllon day, peace day and others, i there is such a demand for change- "vingers that the bell foundrics are called upon for thelr professional band. But none of the other change-ringers are pald.—London Mail, Briefly, Find Your Niche. | When you can't do what you want | to do, do the next best thing. It way be the failure is for your good.

Not long ago a certain Hank Miller was bLrought be- fore him, charged with larceny. It ap- peared from the evidence that Hank had rented a horse from a farmer to do some hauling and that, during the period the animal had remained in his ssession, he had fed it from the own- stock of grain, although the agree- ment was that Hank himself should supply the feed. He was charged by the farmer, thercfore, with the theft of two bushels of oats and corn. | “The statutes made and provided,” the old squire announced ponderou “say that theft is to convert to your own use the property of another. The herse is the servant of the owner, not | of Hank, and Hank converted them oats to the horse’s use, not his—so I acquit Hank of stealin’ them oats—he ain’t guilty of larceny.” Hank rose, thanked the squire and was about to leave the room, when the old man ¢alled him back, “As I said, Hank,” he remarked, with a gleam of humor in his eye, “you | ain’'t guilty of larceny, but you shore air guilty of something, and, I'm goin’ | to send you to jail for a'month for it.” Metternich’s Egotism. !
