PLEADS FOR JOBS FOR WAR VETERANS Hines Asks A. F. of L. o Make) Room for Rebabiltated Men By The Asseciated Press § Portland, Ore, Oet. 10.—Recom:| mendation that the American Federa- | tion of Labor take such action toward maodification of the constitution er by-| laws of the various bodies of afii. fated workers as would enable wmen ! trained by the Unifed States veterans' bureau to take places in the indus- tries for which they have heen pre- pared was made by Gen, Frank T, Hines, director of the veterans bureau at the convention of the federation here today, He pledged that no men would be certified by the veteran' bureau until they were qualified, ! “At present approximately 70,000 men are in voeational training under the veterans' bureau,” he said. “Ap- proximately 40 per cent or less than 20,000 are being qualified for employ- ment in the trades and industries, As complétion of their training in the various courses will occur at different times, there will be no disturbance in the ordinary distribution of labor by the assimilation of these men and no| danger of over-crowding in a single oceupation,” Declaring these men had stood the neld test of citizenship their country in the time of national| emorgency, he sald that any action| taken by the federation towards ad-| mission of the qualified veterans x-ouldi in no way be regarded as precedent | upon which to base similar action by any other group. “It is interesting to note,” he gaid, “that since the first of March, when the campaign of employment was' started, the men then in training on| the government payroll numbered 93,000 and that on Octoher 1 this number had been reduced to 73,000; and it is gratifylng to know that 98 per cent of these or approximately 19,600 have been successfully placed | in employment, Were we to measure | this as a matter of economy alone, | the achievement would result in the reduction of the government expenses in over three million dollars per month."” | WIRELESS GOOD FOR HAIR. Few wireleas workers are bald. *“I| . put this fact down to the clectrical disturbances in the air,” said M.| O'Donnell, marine secretary of the British Association of Wireless Teleg- | raphists. “We have 7,200 men in this) association, and I do not think there/ are a dozen bald men among them." Electric waves are believed to be a| great aid to the health of hair roots. Mvancing Years Need Stomach Help It Inclined to Sour Risings, Heartburn, Gassinéss, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-. . lets Sweeten and Bring Quick. Reliet BN Our digestive system, with a little help, will pick out of a diversified | ‘diet what the body needs to sustain | health. It is the sour stomach, gassi- ness and acid condition that starts trouble all along the line, particu- larly with people getting on in years. If they will use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eating, the stomach will sweeten; eggs, milk, cheese and meat will be digested, gas will not form; and the system will thus get nourishment and strength unhin- dered by indigestion and harmful fer- mentation. Get a 60-cent box of these wonderful tablets and learn what it means to enjoy meals with- out consequent indigestion. [local D, A.

K. _Springfield, 11, Oct. 10.—Profes- sionalism in college sports was at- | tacked by John J. ‘igert, United | States commissioner of education in | an address here last night before the | tenth recreation congress, | He denounced the present system of | competitive athletics in schools and | colleges and the edification by Ameri- cans of the god of winning. ! “The evil of professionalization of | the colleges is reaching the schools,” | sald Mr. Tigert, “and I am not pre- | pared to point to a single college that is not subsidizing its athletes or in | which the president js not winking at it. Boys are heing debauched and || B the devotees to the ‘god of winning® in the colleges and alumnl associations are largely responsible for the con- | dition.” Prof. Johr Smith of Berea college, Kentucky, attacked the Ku Klux Kian. “Deny big, he.men recreation and they creep into the K. K. K. said Prof. Smith. He denounced the Klan as the most mercen and merciless organization in this country.” “Where there is:no recreation the hill people of Kentucky, TIllinois and other states grow wild with r‘mntlmmll religion. Insanity and = sexual im- morality are direct results vof the| absence of play in the rural regions.” Prof. Smith said. “When there is no recreation the race degenerates, It | is us important to play ‘as to pray.” SHOWER FOR MISS CROWLEY A personal shower, was tenderer Miss Margaret E.
