HOMES
FIND MOST UNINHABITABLE;
FOOD AND CLOTHING FROM
RED CROSS
Paris, Nov. 13.-Carrying their little'
bundles of household possessions, the
French refugees are returning to their
homes in Chateau Thierry and the
little French villages around it, to
Vaux, Lucy, Belleau and the rest,
places now a part of American his-
tory.
They are coming back to ruins of
villages and houses demolished by
German or American artillery, to live
in cellars and in the shelter of totter-
ing walls until they can rebuild their
homes and their return is a pitiful
spectacle.
Sometimes they find no home at all.
Never do they find any furniture. Oft-
en they find no food, and then the
American Red Cross steps in and
helps them. The woman who can dig
out her stove from a heap of dirt and
plaster and patch it up again so that
it will 'burn counts herself inordin-
ately lucky. One woman found re-'
maining of all her household goods
just one big salt-cellar. Forks are
worth their weight in gold, and a
feather bed is prized above rubies.
Five thousand five hundred blankets
the Red Cross shipped out to returning
refugees in a single week.
Old Homes Uninhabitable
The people in the Aisne will not be
able to spend the winter in their own
villages. The villages on the , banks
of the little Marne are too utterly bat-
tered by shells to afford them hab-
itations during the winter weather.
Now, while days are warm and skies
are blue, their owners can find some
.tiny corner or other to live in, but the
rain and mud and chilly damp of a
French winter will drive them, or if'
it does not a paternal government will
send them, back to their temporary'
homes in the uninvaded provinces to
wait for spring.
One purpose in sending them homet
so quickly was to harvest the wheat
crops but there was no food, so the
Red Cross established canteens in
many villages and served two meals
a day free to those too poor to pay
while others paid small sums. Forty
carloads of food were sent to the
Marne and the Aisne' in a single
month. A grocery store has been op-
ened in Chateau Thierry which al-
ready a busy town again, though the
walls of its houses have been shat-
tered and torn by shells. To keep in-
truders out the residents scrawl on
their homes in chalk "Proprietor re-
turned" or "House occupied."
Trucks Supply Food to Villages
Rolling stores on trucks tour
through the villages in the valleys
of the Oisne and Aisne to supply the
returning refugees with food, cloth-
ing and household utensils. Demands
come for coffee mills, , scrubbing
brushes, pails, knives, forks, spoons,
and pots for the people taking up
housekeeping again as literally all
that they left behind them when they
fled has been destroyed or carried
away to Germany.
To Amiens the refugees are just be-
ginning to return, but they will come
soon in large numbers, -and they will
find the Red Cross ready to receive
them. There is a big building in
Amiens that was a boys' school in
those half-forgotten days when the
city was not under shell fire. It be-
longs to the Red Cross now, and its
class rooms are turned to strange
uses. There is a big "salle de recep-
tion," where the returning refugees
are sorted out and their needs ascer-
tained. There is a canteen that serves
two hot, nourishing meals a day.
There is a long dormitory with beds
for the weary ones who came back to
find empty rooms and roofless houses.
There are two dispensaries, and dis-
pensary doctors find much to do in a
country where people live precarious,
hand-to-mouth existences.

U. S. WILL ED UCATE
ITS DISABLED SOLDIERS

ALLOWANCE TO FAMILY DUR-
ING SCHOOL
Washington, Nov. 13. - Offices are
now open in 14 of the chief cities of
the United States to receive the appli-
cations of disabled soldiers and sail-
ors of the American army and navy for
free education to equip them for the
vocation for which they are most fit-
ted. These offices have been estab-
lished by the federal board for voca-
tions and are in the following cities:
Washington, Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cincin-
nati, St. Louis,- Dallas, Denver, Chi-
cago, Minneapolis, San Francisco and
Seattle.
At each office are stationed men to
advise the disabled fighters as to
what they are entitled to reecive, a
medical officer and a man to obtain
employment for them when they are
ready to go to work. It is promised
by the federal board that applications
will be sympathetically considered
with the best interests of the disabled
men in mind.
Will Be Paid $65 Per Month
While receiving re-education the
government will pay the disabled man
$65 a month and in addition will pro-
vide him with the funds necessary to
pay educational fees. Each man ac-
cepted for re-education will be sent
to an institution giving special cow's-
es.in the line he has chosen or he will
be given instruction in any industry
he wishes to learn.
During his training period, allow-
ances will be made by the government
to his dependants such as wife, chil-'
dren and mother. These will be fixed
in proportion to the amount they re-
ceived while he was in active service.
When the disabled man has finish-
ed his training, the federal board
promises to have employment ready
for him. After he has gone to work
again his compensation from the War
Risk Insurance bureau begins and will
continue unaffected by the amount of
his earningq.
In making these announcements the
federal board for vocational education
states:
Take Low Grade Positions
"The worst mistake a disabled man
can make is to drift into a low grade,
unskilled occupation. Without any
training he must compete with the
normal man in a line of work where
brute strength and physical fitness
alone count and there can be no doubt
as to the outcome when work becomes
slack. Every consideration requires
that a disabled man should obtain
permanent employment at a desira-
ble age in the position for which he is
best fitted or for which he can be-
coie best fitted. Otherwise his ca-
reer will consist of alternate periods
of more or less undesirable employ-
ment, idleness, trying to live on his
pension and picking up an occupa-
tion. No self-respecting veteran of
this great war can afford to be placed
in this position. There is only one
escape by which these men may make

TODAY
The Red Cross workers furnish
clothing to the sh.ivering, shabby peo-
ple with warm flannel shirts and un-
derwear, stockings, shoes and sabots.
Twelve thousand garments went out
from Paris in a sigle day. And they
furnish work for people, who must
have a little money if they areto live.
They have an extraordinary way,
those Picardy peasants, of accepting
facts. They go back to live under im-
possible conditions as if it were the
most natural thing in the world. It
never occurs to them to do anything
else. There may be only one wall
of a house left but it is home. "There
are few ways in which American re-
source and energy can be better em-
ployed than in strengthening a phil-
osophy and courage like that," says
one Red Cross worker.
War Does Not Affect Grinnell's Count.
The official count of college students
has shown that the registration at
Grinnell, Iowa, is almost normal. The
majority of educational institutions
have shown a great falling off in num-
bers but the decrease at Grinnell is
only two per cent. The number of
in-coming students has actually in-
creased for the freshman class is un-
usually large this year.

AT THE MAJESTIC
Methods in a small town store and
a city emporium may be consolidated
satisfactorily if you know how to do
it. At least that's the idea one forms
after witnessing "A Nine O'clock
Town," which opened a two days en-
gagement at the Majestic yesterday.
Charles Ray is star, it is a Paramount
picture and was produced by Thomas
H. Ince, all of which vouches for its
excellence,
The manner in which Mr. Ray, in
the character of a young man who has
ideas of his own, instills new life into
the big store of the small town is one
of the funniest ideas that has been
introduced into a motion picture in
many months. - Victor L. Schertzinger
wrote and directed the production.
Jane Novak is the leading woman. It
is said to be a sure cure for the blues.

MISS TALMADGE'S LATEST PRODUCTION
'6THE SAFETY CURTAIN"
BRINGS FORTH THE FOLLOWING EXPRES-
SIONS FROM A FEW EXHIBITORS
WHO HAVE SHOWN IT-
"The Safety Curtain" is one of the star's best. Only
commendation from my patrons. You can't go wrong on this
picture."-Centennial Theatre, Warsaw, Ind.
"The Safety Curtain" is a dandy. Book it and boost it
to the skies. Norma is a sure winner.-F, M. Nicodeme,
Rialto Theatre, Dickinson, N. D.
TODAY AND TOMORROW
"The Safety Curtain" offers Norma
Talmadge every chance to display
those Talmadge characteristics which
have won her the praise of the millions
who have seen her on the screen.
There are few actresses working be-
fore the camera today who can equal
Miss Talmadge in a role calling for
emotional acting. AnA there are fewer
still who can drop the characteristics
of the emotional actress and take up
the role of a charming little care-free
girl of the ingenue type. It is this
versatility that has placed Miss Tal-
madge in the front rank of our best
screen actresses. As Puck, the music
hall dancer in "The Safety Curtain,"
she fairly twinkles through the entire
six reels. Eugene O'Brien is again
her leading man,
"The Safety Curtain" will be shown
at The Arcade today and tomorrow.
POLISH, REPUBLIC ESTABLISHED;
ASSUMES CONTROL OF GALICIA
Amsterdam, Nov. 13.-News of the
establishment of a Polish republic,
with Deputy Daszynski as president,
has been received'here from Cracow
sources.
Official word has been received
by the Austrian premier, Professor
Lammasch, that Poland has assumed
sovereignty over Galicia, says a dis-
patch from Vienna.
Galicia, lying to the north of Aus-
tria-Hungary, past the Carpathians,
has an area of 30,307 square miles,
and before the present war had a pop-
ulation of more than 7,000,000. It is
a crownland of the - former empire of
Austria-Hungary

PURE WOOL from SHEEP to SHOP
Satisfactory substitutes have been found for some materials
heretofore obtainable only in Alien lands. But the inventive
genius of a thousand Edison's cannot find an acceptable sub-
stitute for wool.
Good clothes still mean pure wool clothes. Correct style and
perfiet fit still mean tailored-to-measure-clothes. Thus nd
satisfactory substitute for either.
Our showing of Fall and Winter fabrics is 100%0o pure wool
and worsted--pre-war quality.
We are makers of moderate priced clothes for men--but
standard bearers of standard q&''sv. All wool always, and
tailored to measure.
